NYFW J. Crew F/W 2013

12 Feb

J. Crew’s classic aesthetic was front and center today at the J.Crew Fall/Winter 2013 presentation!  Color and texture was also prevalent- from tweed to wool to cableknit to silk, the mixing of textures, colors and prints was perfectly executed no surprise. The well tailored separates were ga ga-gorgeous as well as the Moroccan prints and pretty splashes of sparkle too. I loved this wearable collection!  I fell in love with a jeweled lapel coat on site…..I am literally in love with it!!!!!!! In need it… in addition to all of the bags and footwear!

NYFW Monique Lhuillier F/W 2013

10 Feb

Monique Lhuillier’s gorgeous Fall/Winter 2013 collection consisted mostly of her usual red carpet ready gowns in addition to some shorter tea length gowns and even included trousers!  The palette was mostly malachite green, winter white and black & gold baroque style pieces.  The entire collection was decadently detailed and beautifully tailored to the woman’s form.  Beautiful!

NYFW Prabal Gurung F/W 2013!

9 Feb

Prabal Gurung is a busy man as of late, his (love) Target collection launches in stores and online tomorrow and he presented his F/W 2013 collection in New York today.  The militant aesthetic consisted of strong, polished looks.  Leather belts and harnesses were everywhere and peplum was prevalent, proving indeed it is here to stay. The palette of rich navy blues, army greens and crimson were just beautiful. The gold hardware was impeccable and was carried from the clothes to the shoes – all custom-made by  Cesare Casadei!  WOW! Great strong empowering collection today, and I’m very excited to shop the frilly feminine collection tomorrow at Target!

NYFW Jason Wu F/W 2013

8 Feb

Not even a blizzard could stop Jason Wu  from filling up a beautiful Park Avenue venue to present his Fall 2013 collection Friday. Despite weather worries, a full house of spectators gazed in awe at one of the most anticipated collections of New York fashion week.  There was an essence of elegance and glamour and the clothes were sexy and sophisticated.  The mostly black a white palette included crisp collars, belted waists and pleated skirts !  I especially loved the makeup led by Lancome’s Diane Kendal, who created beautiful looks consisting of  bold indigo cat eyes with muted lips and cheeks.  This show was pretty amazing, nothing new for Mr. Wu!

Drew Barrymore’s New(affordable) Makeup Line

26 Jan

Drew Barrymore is the latest celebrity to create her own makeup collection Flower which debuted this month exclusively at Wal- Mart.  Her over 180 piece collection includes eye, face, lip and nail products which are available at 1,500+ Wal-Mart locations. What is great about this collection is that it’s cruelty free(not tested on animals) and the price point is beyond amazing- nothing is over $15!  It is luxury products at mass market prices.  According to the press release the collection is “formulated with the same quality ingredients found in department store luxury brands, but sold for a fraction of the price”.

How did Barrymore produce such high quality products at such fair prices????  Well Barrymore and team chose to skip paid advertising and rely solely on blogs, social media, word of mouth and Barrymore’s popularity to do the “advertising”,which  frees up the usual 20-30% that would fund advertising.  That money is then able to then go into the formulation of great products.  The same formulas that high-end companies all over the world are using. Impressive to say the least!  I can’t wait to try it!

I really love the clear view shadow palettes which make it easy to find the color your looking for and the super cute packaging with rose gold detail!
