January 20th, 2012

Obviously it’s all about the pastels for spring according to the cosmetic brands. I adore the NARS campaign particularly the red lip and contouring. I was also very inspired by the Givenchy ad, and I wore a very similar pistachio coloured eyeshadow to work today.

CFDA/Vogue Fashion Awards

November 16th, 2011

I thought these ladies looked the best at the CFDA/Vogue award arrivals. Rooney Mara’s look was so striking. Matte black cherry lipstick, amazing brows, and spidery lashes were such a good look for her. Chloe Moretz had almost the tone down version of Mara’s look which was very age appropriate and suited her well. Olivia Wilde wore beautiful cat eyeliner, I do think she needed a bit more colour on her lips or cheeks to tie it all together better. Doutzen is just gorgeous always, even though her makeup wasn’t totally stand-out.

Jessica Stam looked the most fabulous! Love the slicked pony tail, the dark lip, the tux, Louboutins, and the long necklaces–it just all worked.

Makeup Artist: Mariel Barrera

November 8th, 2011

Makeup artist Mariel Barrera’s latest work in Vogue Italia featuring Constance Joblanski is gorgeous, and made me went to see more from this artist. A regular with Vogue Italia as well as other high fashion magazines like Numero and Russh, Barrera’s work is outstanding.

Versace for H&M

October 4th, 2011

The first campaign ad for Versace’s collaboration with H&M is here. Sasha, Lindsey, and Daphne look amazing. The clothes are classic Versace, for me this probably the most anticipated collab H&M has ever done. The chance of me scoring a piece are probably slim to non, since I don’t subscribe to camping outside the night before.

The collection hits select H&M locations November 17, 2011.
