Spring Fling with Fashion Week 2011

To be the best dressed and have the loveliest locks as well as a gorgeous glowing complexion this spring, go with what is  classic, carefree, and cleverly pretty. Chanel’s Spring 2011 makeup collection entitled Les Perles de Chanel encapsulates a bright youthful radiance easily complimenting any look this season. Softly shimmering shades of black and bright white pearly shadows are accentuated with a glowing complexion rosy lips and peachy cheeks. Slightly smokey metallic polish on the nails adds just a hint of perfection to complete this fabulous  look.

The hairstyle to have this spring is bouncy in texture and natural in color. Marcos Diaz of Ion Studio styled the girls for the Billy Reid runway show and did a magnificent job of exemplifying gorgeous healthy hair. These neatly trimmed flowing locks are reminiscent of almost any decade or century for that matter, allowing for that alluring style we all love so much. To easily achieve this hairstyle, blow dry hair on a cool setting and use a serum to minimize frizz keeping things smooth and shiny, next gather hair in one inch sections and roll with curlers. Give the hair a blast of warm and then cool air with a blow dryer before lightly shaking out the out the curlers.

Badgley Mischka's fresh flowing fabrics and truly inspired designs have me wanting to slip into their Spring 2011 collection. Wearable and classy, fresh and sophisticated this is certain to be the perfect wardrobe for any spring fling jet setter; be it bound for Beverly Hills or the settling down in the South of France this collection speaks volumes for the heiress wanting to escape it all and go incognito.

Sensational Makeup by MAC



Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 2011 brought on a bevy of fabulous looks from haute couture to haute cosmetics my favorite look of all was one which could be worn right off the runway. Val Garland for MAC cosmetics did a gorgeous job giving the models from the Isaac Mizrahi show a clean sophisticated look using none other one of my cosmetic crushes MAC. A flawlessly classic look achieved by blending MAC Cream Color Bases in just the right places. Defining the brows with Impeccable Brow Pencils in an array of suitable shades and a cleanly lined eye using MAC Cream Liner in Black. A little Powder Blush across the crease of the eye-lid and a touch more of that lovely Cream Color Base in a sepia tone creating those perfectly pretty lips. Bringing the essence of natural wearable beauty to the runway. The versatility of the Cream Color Base along with the Cream Liner makes for an unstoppable duo in any girls cosmetics collection and both items have topped my must have list for this month.

What the Red Carpet is Craving

Oscar at the Oscars? I should say I'd like to think so. Oscar De La Renta debuted a stunning tiered black mermaid gown that I would love to see on the red carpet come Oscar time, along with  Marchesa's gorgeous sculpted little scarlet number. The red carpet will also be craving a couple of these bridal styles (I'm loving how you can wear white wedding gowns without being a bride and gowns of pale pink or beige if you are one). Tossing tradition aside and bending the rules to make for a much better set of dresses on Oscar night.
Impressive would be an understatement when it comes to Naeem Khan's collection. This designer certainly has a an eye for the extraordinary in the lines he creates, from his classic Hollywood styles to his cool celebutante techniques. I can definitely see a his gowns glittering the red carpet on starlets a plenty who could really stand out in any one of the pieces from his collection. I absolutely adored his show, so here's a taste of it with love: 


...until next time xoxo
