YSL: Rock & Baroque Collection

Looking for a new look? Why not go against the pastel colour trends of summer and inject a bit of rock and roll or baroque as YSL would have it to your look. YSL’s Rock and Baroque collection features bold shades like purple and gold or red and orange worn like french manicure with tips in a different shade. Taken from Yves Saint Laurent’s Fall 2010 line, the Rock & Baroque collection introduces a 2-color polish for those looking to shake things up a bit. I like ! <3

Kim Kardashian as Sophia Loren in a new shoot for Allure

 
Kim Kardashian has paid homage to one of her style icons, the curvaceous screen siren Sophia Loren, in a smouldering new photo shoot. Wearing a Jenna Leigh Lingerie balconette bra, the 29-year-old channels the Italian brunette in a series of poses for the latest issue of US magazine, Allure.

 Stunning kimmy! I like the simple effortless look on her, defiantly looks pretty I would love to see her wearing less make up and posh outfits, it would look great for a change!

Fashion Icons You Should know

The original Lady Gaga, Cher’s style has changed a lot throughout the decades (sometimes in a good way, sometimes… not so much), but one era that I have always admired when it comes to Cher is her 60′s/70′s period. Always the bohemian babe, Cher would always be out and about rocking cute mini dresses, fringe vests, and crochet anything- too cute!

 Triple threat Brigitte Bardot is the epitome of 60s chic. Known for her dark eyes and sex kitten looks, it is easy to see how she is still such a revered fashion icon. What I love about her is that she is not stick skinny like most celebrities we look up to these days; she flaunts her curves and sexy pout with confidence and elegance.

 When you watch I Love Lucy, you'll be struck by how stylish the clothes were that Lucille Ball wears. Along with being hilarious and beautiful, Lucille also manages to wear beautifully tailored pant suits, dresses, and heels that Blair Waldorf would lust after.

 Jane Birkin, model, singer, girlfriend of French crooner Serge Gainsbourg and namesake of the ever-coveted Hermès Birkin Bag, is one of those girls with effortless style. Whatever she wore, she wore it with grace, whether it was a tee shirt and jeans or a flirty spring dress.

 Factory “It Girl”, movie star, model, and muse to artist Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick is the original downtown hipster. Whether she was starring in a silent black and white film or posing for a picture, Edie was always smart, chic, and well dressed. (And who wouldn’t love that makeup? So ’60s chic!)

 Where would any fashion icon list be without the chicest of the chic? Audrey Hepburn (in my humble opinion) is the loveliest, most elegant woman to ever grace the silver screen. Always prim and proper, with her well-tailored clothes and gentle demeanor, Audrey proved that she was not only a brilliant actress, but also a humanitarian and a true lady. She exemplified the idea of being lovely inside and out, which, like her style, is something we can all still appreciate today.

Fall 2010 Color Trend

CAMEL COLORS

Camel looks so warm and inviting in a cozy cape, resistant to hazardous weather in a structured raincoat and so modern and chic in a sophisticated suit. Designers are excited by the neutral tone for Pre-Fall 2010, as seen by the many collections that embraced the shade.  

Moschino

 Chloe

Roberta By Olivia Palermo

Back in September it was reported that Olivia Palermo would be collaborating with jewelry designer Roberta Freymann to create signature jewel encrusted bib necklaces.
During New York Fashion Week, we got our first glimpse of the collection when Olivia wore one of the pieces to the Tibi Fall 2010 presentation.
The statement piece oozed luxury, sophistication and glamour, offering the perfect finishing touch to Olivia’s silky top and camel blazer.

 Choose between the maroon ‘Belgravia’ necklace, the ethnic chic of the ‘Chelsea’ necklace, Olivia’s ‘Le Marais’ necklace, the green ‘Mitte’ necklace and the charming purple ‘Tribeca’ necklace.

Falabella


A lifelong vegetarian, Stella McCartney never uses leather or fur in her designs and proves that you don't need these materials to be a success or to be creative. Her pretty bronze, matte, faux suede Falabella tote bag can be worn two ways, folded over as a shoulder bag or carried as a tote. Includes gold chain detailing, a Stella logo tag, and a satin lined interior with a pocket. I’m loving this bag.  
 
It’s the perfect everyday bag which has been carried when dressed down like Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson and Rihanna, or dresses up like Charlize Theron.

Audrey Hepburn's Mod Eye makeup Look


Have you ever watched How to steal a million starring Audrey Hepburn? After my 10th time watching this movie, I still can’t help but stare at her gorgeous mod eyes underneath the lace mask in the scene when she meets up with Peter O’Toole at the Ritz. All that glitters, the perfectly lined creased, plus plenty of lashes captured my attention in just the blink of an eye.

Backstage at Jean Paul Gaultier’s fall 2010 couture show, makeup artist Tom Pecheux recreated the mod look with a millennial twist winged black eye shadow, lined creases and a pair of false eyelashes applied to just the half outer corners of the eyelids. Here’s how to pull it off: First line your creases with black liquid liner, winging it out at the ends (and using scotch tape as a stencil for that angle to ensure your line is straight). Loads up on lots of mascara on both your top and bottom lashes then follow with false lashes. You can get creative after that. Don’t be afraid of clumpy bottom lashes à la Jane Birkin and Twiggy. And to experiment with a more daring look for night, go for some glittery eye shadow just like Audrey.
