Sheer Genius!

13 Oct

I tried Almost Lipstick by Clinique today and I love it!  I have always been a fan of tinted lip balms and stains because for day-to-day use I want moisture more than anything else, but a touch of color is nice.  Almost Lipstick is perfect for all day wear  it’s a moisturizing semi gloss, ultra-light lipstick. Not quite a gloss, and not quite a lipstick,  it’s formula looks great alone yet it’s sheer enough for easy layering.  Available in 8 shades ($15) at clinique counters and online at  Clinique.

I tried the black honey and it’s a very light plum color, although it looks dark in the tube. The colors are all very light and sheer.

‘Pass The Love’ Pledge

11 Oct

In this whole fashion and blogging world, opinions and commentary can sometimes come across as plain old MEAN, not to mention hurtful!  I was reading a fellow blog today and came across some of the unnecessarily rude comments and they were all from women directed toward other women.  I’m all for constructive criticism and giving your point of view on an outfit, idea, hairstyle etc. however it saddens me to see such a lack of respect and decency for one another. I have never encountered any such problems on this blog and I’m grateful for that, but I recognize that it’s a recurring problem and think it needs to stop. Ladies, think before you type!  Remember that there is an actual human being on the receiving end of everything you write. Today I decided to take a pledge…..a pledge to respect my fellow fashionista and anyone for that matter. Hopefully you’ll take the pledge too.

Haute Coffee!

11 Oct

 

The amazingly talented indie design duo Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte announced  that they have collaborated with mega-coffee chain Starbucks. This means everyone can buy a little piece of Rodarte without breaking the bank!  The collaboration will include  four limited-edition items that are set to go on sale at select Starbucks locations  and online  November 13th, 2012.  A modern pixelated checkerboard print that is aimed to appeal to both men and women will be featured on a tumbler ($13.95), reusable cup sleeve ($5.45), tote bag ($13.95) and a limited-edition gift card as well. For the design duo, it’s a chance to put their name — and their edgy conceptual style — out to a new audience. Their designs are not exactly in line with mass-market taste.   “Our clothing is specialized,” Laura Mulleavy recently said in an interview “and when we are thinking of Rodarte, we choose things that say who we are as designers, but we’re not limited to that. We like the idea of collaborations and putting our thought process somewhere else.”
