New York Fashion Week: Creatures Of The Wind Fall/Winter 2014
Creatures of the Wind has such a cool modern boho vibe, and the brand’s NYFW Autumn/Winter 2014 showing echoed that spirit with dramatic braids, electric blue eyeliner, and mod nail art that we just love! “The collection this season is about transcendence- moving from the earthly realm into the light,” NARS Director of Global Artistry, James Boehmer, explained […]
New York Fashion Week: Rebecca Minkoff Fall/Winter 2014
My favorite part of Rebecca Minkoff‘s Autumn/Winter 2014 collection is that she actually made coats — and ones that I’d want to wear! So many designers taunt us fashionistas with stunning fall collections that just aren’t practical (especially when the entire US is getting hit with terrible snowstorm after snowstorm!) Bold makeup crafted for the show by […]
New York Fashion Week: Naeem Khan Fall/Winter 2014
Naeem Khan’s gorgeous fall 2014 collection included eye-popping scarlet gowns, and the fashions were accented with models’ glowing skin, bold eyebrows, and dramatic red lipstick. “The inspiration for the collection was early cabaret and burlesque, so I wanted to reference Weimar Berlin without being too literal,” James Boehmer, NARS Director of Global Artistry, said of the sultry style.” […]
New York Fashion Week: 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall/Winter 2014
Amped-up natural beauty with a kick of exaggerated edge was the beauty look that accompanied 3.1 Phillip Lim‘s graphic and geomerical Fall/Winter 2014 collection at New York Fashion Week. “It’s time to ‘rock the casbah’ this fall. A bold, angled brow, clean eyelids and slightly sculpted cheeks give a bit of new wave punk inspiration,” lead NARS […]
New York Fashion Week: Alexander Wang Fall/Winter 2014
If you see the bleached eyebrows that were featured on Alexander Wang‘s fall 2014 runway show in New York and think of Miley Cyrus‘s brief stint with barely-there yellow brows, you’re not reading into the complexities of the fashion statement. “The look focuses on ‘pure’ beauty – it’s all about lightness and the shadows between,” Diane […]
New York Fashion Week: Thakoon Fall/Winter 2014 Makeup By NARS
It’s fashion week in New York City, and both the fashion looks and the clothes and makeup looks for fall 2014 are simply smoldering! The cool makeup looks from Thakoon are especially inspiring. “This is the pacific northwestern girl coming to the city to see the sights and visit museums – natural beauty with an odd artsy […]
Rebecca Minkoff’s Zodiac Collection
Rebecca Minkoff always seems to know what we want — before we even know we want it. If you would have asked me a month ago if I wanted a necklace with my astrological sign on it, I would have told you it was soooo middle school. And then I caught a glimpse of RM’s […]
Pretty Little Liars x Aeropostale: Costume-Inspired Collection
The fashions on Pretty Little Liars are literally to die for, and Aeropostale just made it easy to get the look at home. The show’s costume designer, Mandi Line, teamed up with the brand to deliver awesome styles straight from the episodes, and it’s one of the most exciting collaborations to hit the mass market […]
Helvetica: The Perfume
Every hipster’s favorite font is now wearable. Helvetica: The Perfume is a real thing, guys. The self-titled “scent of nothing” comes in minimal packaging, and has minimal scent as well. The scent’s designers claim the perfume is made up of elements stripped down to their purest forms: “air, water, and you.” $62 is a steep price […]
The Hunger Games x Covergirl Capitol Collection
One of my favorite things about makeup is that you can completely reinvent your look with it: it’s not about fixing flaws or making yourself into a different person, it’s just seeing the artistic creations you can come up with! The Covergirl Capital collection is the hottest makeup collaboration out there, perfectly timed with the […]
