So I styled a Photo shoot with the AMAZING Noel Denis… Model, Nimoy Girwath, of Sudan, was super FAB in this shoot. We used Balmain Spring 2011 as inspiration and brought this trend together using vintage cut off shorts, a vintage fringe bustier, and an Alice and Olivia Sequin Blazer. I also put black sheer pantyhose on her and ripped them up a bit… The look came together and the shoot was AWESOME and sooooooo much fun! LOVE!!!
It’s finally here! The same wrinkle fighting formula built for sensitive skin. Rebuild your skin and its elasticity without the burning or stinging of the regular StriVectin-SD formula. Bye bye aging, hello smoother and non-irritated skin.
Do you want Taylor Swift curls? Who doesn’t? Not only are they gorgeous but everything about Miss Swift is AMAZING! Her curls are NOT naturally that gorgeous. She uses the Hardcore Professional styling iron. It’s shaped like a long triangle and has no clamps. In order to get those spindle waves you first comb a thin section of hair and wrap it starting at the top of the iron. Twirl down the triangle iron so the piece of hair at the root is a wider curl and then ends of the hair are smaller curls. Repeat all over the heads. Use Kerastase Elixir soft oil and a little Kerastase Double Force Hairspray. Voila! You are gorgeous as a peach!

Departure boards were flashing trains to Stamford, White Plains and Mount Vernon; late weekenders were struggling with push-chairs and baggage; tourists weaving their way to the information booths – just another Sunday night at Grand Central Station in New York.
And then, suddenly, the Beaux Arts Grand Concourse erupted into a fashion frenzy last night as Moncler Grenoble, the skiwear giant, took over the world’s largest train station for a ‘Flash Mob’ extravaganza. Underneath the domed ceiling of stars, which depicts the signs of the zodiac backwards, and the backdrop for so many Hollywood movies, more than 200 dancers and singers took centre stage in a choreographed performance inspired by legendary dance-maestro Bob Fosse.
Dressed in high-tech Moncler skiwear, in shades of mustard, burgundy, grey snd black, they worked through a synchronized routine to a soundtrack which slalom-ed from Tchaikovsky and tap-dance (think 42nd Street) to salsa and Streisand. Passengers were literally stopped in their tracks to make way for the quilted, padded and be-goggled fashion version of a oorps-de-ballet. Thousands of passers-by stood goggle-eyed as Grand Central became ‘fashion central’ for a few minutes and for one night only in the middle of New York Fashion Week. When the troupe simultaneously stepped and segue-ed into the O’Jays “Love Train” the style circle was complete.
The clothes, from my eyrie, high up on a balcony, looked astonishing. Apparently, they took inspiration from the legendary Italian downhill skier, architect, aerobatic pilot, photographer and author, Carlo Molino. Would that he had been alive to see such an inspired, 21st century interpretation of ski-chic brought down-to-earth with such skill and finesse.
Oh lovely Valentine…just be mine…
Don’t forget to give a little love today or let that crush know how you feel. I adore Smythson’s quirky versions of their staple leather bound notebooks. They are beautifully crafted and such a sweet gesture….
It is often a bride’s fantasy to feel like a princess on her wedding day. This season, however, brides may prefer to embody the spirit and style of a ballerina. With the recent success of Darren Aronofsky’s Oscar-nominated film “Black Swan,” it is no surprise that brides and their attendants are looking to emulate the elegant grace of Natalie Portman’s character, Nina Sayers, and the rebellious glamour of Lily, played by Mila Kunis. The Mulleavy sisters of Rodarte designed dance costumes for the “Black Swan” ballet dancers. These looks are elegant and over-the-top with embellishments running the gamut from feathers to sequins and fabrics that are typical ballet fare such as lace and tulle.
The stunning costumes are sure to provide plenty of inspiration to brides in pursuit of the perfect gown. Luckily, bridal designers have included plenty of beautiful ballet-inspired pieces in their 2011 collections. Top designers such as Vera Wang and Oscar de la Renta are putting their own twist on the ballerina trend. Various interpretations include a demure strapless ball gown with a tulle skirt and bow belt detail by Amsale as well as Rosa Clará’s flirty tea-length creation with a full, two-tier skirt and lacy, corseted bodice.
Dance infused gowns are fresh this season, but connect with historical trends from long ago. One of the first known instances of ballet-inspired bridal fashion was the wedding of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1840. At the ceremony, she wore an opulent gown of white satin and a lace veil. Her bridesmaids were dressed in matching white gowns, taking inspiration from the corps de ballet, the stylized dancers accompanying the prima ballerina.
From serenely sweet to fashionably brazen, there is a ballet-inspired style for every bride-to-be. Whether she considers herself a bold black swan or a poised white swan, it is certain that with the vast array of options for the ballerina bride, she will find the perfect fit for her wedding day.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these Kenneth Jay Lane’s 22-karat gold-plated drop earrings which will 100% add an opulent touch to every look. For maximum impact, wear them with swept-back hair and sharp summer whites. For pierced ears.
No one does thigh high stockings like Agent Provocateur. This black, opaque, hold up style is a wardrobe staple. The top elasticized band is lined with rubber gripping strips and the fabric is silky soft yet very durable for a stocking. Every girl needs the Diabolo in their drawer!
Resort is here! Before leaving on your mid winter break to have some fun in the sun, take some time to pick out those beach favorites. I always search Victoria’s Secret for their affordable cover ups. This linen romper is fun, comfortable and won’t make you regret the charge on your credit card the next day. It makes packing all that more fun.
