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 […]
Manicure Monday: Liquid Sand
I’ve always been intrigued my texture polishes. How cool is it that you can create nail art just with a swipe of a brush? From metallic polishes and feather polishes, to crackle polish and velvet. It’s amazing how easy nail art can be! My newest texture obsession? I’ve recently fallen in love with Liquid Sand […]
Manicure Monday: Gradient Graffiti
In what was possibly the most perfect gift for me, I was given a Michael Kors Nail Lacquer gift set, complete with Runway Star, Rock Star and Superstar – three glam shimmery shades. I immediately fell in love with the colors and the opacity of the polishes. I had to create a rock star manicure to […]
The Perfect Red Lip
The perfect red lip is arguably the most iconic beauty trend. Stars from Marilyn Monroe to Rihanna fell in love with red and perfected the look. In my opinion, the products to create a perfect red lip should be staples in any woman’s beauty closet. It’s such a bold look that it speaks for itself […]
Manicure Monday: Snowflake
When it comes to holiday manicures, you can go as simple as sporting the colors of the season, or you can go full-out cheese. I’ve tried everything in between – from simple, red nails for Christmas to tracing out a glittery tree with tape. This year’s Christmas manicure is a little more simple, but still […]
