Have iPod, will travel. That seemed to be the thinking behind last night’s New York, New York party, which hopped the Channel from its traditional home at Paris fashion week and touched down at London nightspot Sketch. “I like to say we were invited by the Queen,” joked Sophomore designer Chrissie Miller, who co-hosted the party with, among others, Grand Life’s Tommy Saleh and Style.com editor at large Derek Blasberg. “I just wish she’d do something about the fucking smoking laws!” That was a taste of NYC many partygoers could’ve done without, but other hometown imports were more popular. When Miller took Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” for a spin during one of her stints at the turntable, there were plenty of British Isles accents to be heard in the crowd sing-along (pictured).
“I just came for the toilets,” quipped menswear designer Aitor Throup, who was huddled in the corner with Erdem Moralioglu. “Seriously—you have to check them out, they’re insane.” He wasn’t wrong. The loos at Sketch are space-age, egg-shaped pods that talk to you. But the real attraction at the party was the company, which included both New Yorkers (Leigh Lezark and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld) and Londoners (Peaches Geldof, Charlotte Dellal, Henry Holland, and Stephen Jones). Turns out the cities aren’t so different, either. “It practically feels like home,” deadpanned Miller, as she grabbed her jacket and went outside for a smoke. Link.............
Last night in London, the ElleStyle Awards saw red carpet debuts—the first real-world appearance we’ve seen of The Row Fall 2010, on Carey Mulligan—and the dusting-off of the best of Spring. In the latter category falls Daisy Lowe’s Miu Miu ensemble, plucked from Mrs. Prada’s Spring 2010 show. At an event where many attendees went demure (Alexa Chung’s sweet Chanel set the tone), Daisy’s kicky separates were a welcome change of pace. She’s got pluck in spades, but even so, we think the midriff-baring top, skirt, and cardigan felt a little haphazard and underdressed, which the outfit didn’t at the label’s show. Which leads us to wonder: Are some looks best left on the runway? What do you think—is Daisy taking the high road, or the Lowe? Link.......
Everyone wants to have those perfect Angelina Jolie lips. Unless you want a collagen injection though, there are other ways to make your lips appear fuller without any injections whatsoever. First and foremost, you have to take care of your lips just as you would take care of your skin. Buy a lip exfoliator and use it 3 times a week. The exfoliator gently sloughs away dead skin and leaves your lips feeling smooth. During the winter, make sure you use a good lip balm, which will prevent your lips from getting dry and chapped. Now that your lips are soft and helthy, get out a good lip pencil. Get one that matches your natural lip line. Trace a line on the top part of your lips, the corners, and a small line at the bottom. This will give your lips a little bit of definition. Now apply your lipstick, making sure that you don’t go outside the line, and then smack your lips against a tissue paper. To make your lips appear fuller, apply a lip gloss to the top crease of your lip and to the bottom as well. You can use a lip plumper as well, as that will rush the blood to your lips and give them a full, natural look. Link...
Start off by sweeping the front part of your hair to one side as to create a fuller crown area. Use your fingers along with a paddle brush to direct both sides to the back of the head. Gather your hair into a loose pony and secure with an ouchless elastic (sides and back). The base of the pony should rest in the middle of the back of the head. Push your pony up slightly to create fullness at the top of your head. Add some hairspray. Separate the pony into one inch sections, curling each section loosely. You don’t have to do this very carefully, as it is a messy bun, and you just want to get some waves. Holding the curler for about 3 seconds should be enough, depending on the hair thickness. After each section is curled, use a bobby pin to secure the curl loosely against your scalp. When pinning the curls, make sure that you pin some at the top as to form an even and balanced shape. Once you’ve finished pinning the curls, use your fingers to gently loosen up the curls, making it look messy. Finish off with a little bit of hair spray and you have a sexy, messy bun, Link.............
SKIN TYPE AND CARE:NORMAL SKIN: It is really important for you to be able to identify your skin type.This is to enable you to look after your skin correctly.Also the selection of your cosmetics is, to a considerable extent, influenced by your skin type.Although no two skins are exactly similar most have characteristics which enable them to be grouped into one of the following types:Dry skin, Normal skin, Combination skin and Oily skin. To determine your skin type, wash your face with a mild face wash.Then, after 30 minutes, press a clean tissue against your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.If the tissue shows no trace of oil, then you have dry skin.Dry skin looks rough and is prone to premature fine lines and wrinkles.If your skin is oily in some parts but dry in others, then you have combination skin.Normal skin usually looks smooth and is not prone to break outs.Oily skin feels oily to touch and tends to shine.Oily skin is also prone to blackheads and pimples.A sensitive skin needs special care, as it may be sensitive to some ingredients found in popular cosmetics.Those with sensitive skin should always use beauty aids that are hypoallergenic to protect their skin from allergic reactions.A regular skin care programme, adapted to the needs of your particular skin type, goes a long way in keeping your skin radiant and problem free. DRY SKIN: Dry skin needs extra care, as it is prone to fine lines and wrinkles.This is especially true during the winter months when it feels even drier and may feel too taut or may even flake.A few measures help alleviate dryness and keep your skin supple and, at the same time, guard against premature aging. 5.If you have dry skin that tends to flake off, looks red and has some itchy patches that scab, consult your doctor to rule out eczema.Eczema, also known as atopic dermititis, is generally considered to be a hereditary condition that can occur throughout the year.Other causes of eczema can be fabrics such as wool, some skin-care products or detergents etc.Your doctor may prescribe a cream to soothe the redness and irritation.Non-irriating fabrics such as cotton also help avoid flare-ups. Normal SkinNomal skin is usually trouble-free and needs simple care to keep it healthy and glowing.Normal skin also tolerates most popular lotions and creams as well.A regular skin-care program combined with a balanced, healthy diet helps keep normal skin stay supple and young.Regular care for normal skin should include a few simple steps. Skin that is oily in some parts but dry or normal in others is considered as combination skin.The oily skin is concentrated on the T-zone, which is across the foreheat, down the nose and chin.Whenever you wash your face, you may find that some areas of your face feel tight after washing; and that these parts look dull or feel dry and rough whereas the T-zone looks shiny, feels oily to touch and is prone to pimples and blackheads.Combination skin needs special attention because the dry parts of your face need to be considered, whereas the oily parts need to be kept clean to avoid breakouts.Follow these simple tips each day and see what a difference they make to your skin. 1.Skin that looks oily, feels greasy to touch and is prone to blackheads and pimples is known as oily skin.It is imperative to keep oily skin clean and to control the excess secretion of oil.On the positive side, oily skin tends to age more gradually as compared to other skin types, as natural oil protects oily skin from fine lines and wrinkles.A simple but regular skin-care programme coupled with a well-balanced, healthy diet helps manage oily skin and minimises skin break-outs. If you have sensitive skin do not use facial washes or soap; instead use a light, hypoallergenic cleansing lotion. Use a moisturiser to strengthen your skin and provide a barrier against irritants.Skin Types & Care »»

4.Both AHA and Vitamin C help reduce fine lines and other signs of aging.Thus, you may get good results quickly by using a moisturiser or cream that contains Vitamin C during the day and an AHA-based night cream.Most known brands have moisturisers and creams that contain these.

When decked out in patent leather, you can have your cake and eat it too - that is, you can indulge in fashion's finest without spending a moment's worry on your arch nemesis: the weather. Rain, hail, salt, snow and mud can't leave their mark on your slippery new pumps and glossy glam clutch, so get pretty and practical in patent.
Bring together patent leather and peep-toe and you've got yourself a pump that's beaming with timeless class and of-the-moment style. Aldo's fashion fusion shoe, the "Ath" features an unexpected band at the toe that adds a modern spice to the much-adored mid-century era pump. And in such vibrant hues as purple, yellow and fushia, as well as classic black and white, this patent peep-toe revs up the glitz and guts found in the most glamorous footwear silhouette of all.
Why show a little when you can show a lot? Put your toe cleavage on full display with the Guess Patty (Guess By Marciano), an open-toed heel that challenges the pleated plaid skirt as the epitome of schoolgirl sex appeal. The usual clunk and clumsy of the old-school Mary Jane is traded in for a sleek, slender strap and heel that put the sophistication in studious. And all that class comes with the added polish and practicality of bold black patent.
Leave it to Fendi to create patent perfection in shoe form. This spicy sandal, with a price tag that just might leave you homeless for a month, has got everything right: patent, platform, and peep-toe. The high-gloss leather has been cut, stitched and wrapped into a factory girl shoe that shines with the brilliant tones of rich brick, midnight blue and clean taupe. This hidden-platform sandal also features a sexy wraparound ankle strap with an aged brass buckle - could we ask for more from this dangerously desirable shoe?
When it doesn't snow, it pours - so stick out your tongue at global warming with this sleek slicker from Club Monaco. Embodying the high-shine style of patent leather, Club Monaco's double-breasted raincoat combines the glossy trend with the class of a trench and the spice of the '60s swing jacket. As practical as your boxy yellow slicker, but much, much prettier, this 3/4-sleeve coat will have you conquering the horizontal downpours in high-shine style.
Alongside the peep-toe, the middle of the 20th century brought another bit of posh and polish to the forefront of fashion: polkadots. Wrap up that pretty little print in a glossy finish and you've got yourself Steve Madden's perfectly adorable patent clutch organizer.
Found in classic red, white and blue - we've have fallen desperately in love with the regal and retro royal blue - this tiny clutch opens to a dotted and striped interior that'll keep you organized with credit card slots, a zippered pouch and a second compartment with a kiss-lock closer. Stylish and sensible, this practical and patent mini purse is begging for a night on the town.
You can't rock patent without cinching in your middle with a shiny, bold belt. Aldo's "Reed" belt, created with an ultra-glossy finish that hones the pristine of patent leather, features a timely wide strap and a massive, square-shaped buckle. In the classic colours of crimson-lip red and basic-but-brilliant black, this polished belt will give an otherwise matte ensemble just the right hint of shine. Link.............
Boots are taking over footwear fashion this season. This year women are trading in
Ankle boots and booties are at the forefront of the boot fashion trend. Celebrities are sporting sexy stiletto cropped boots with everything from jeans and trousers to mini-skirts, dresses, and even eveningwear. Ankle boots are available in every shape, color and material - even peep-toe peek-a-boo booties! Avoid wearing ankle boots with long skirts past the knee - this tends to look frumpy and matronly.
Mid-calf boots are aunique cut that looks great with skirts of all lengths. This style accentuates your calf muscle and stands out from the crowd of knee-high boots. Very sexy, indeed.
The classic knee-high boot. Ensure that the boot fits snugly around your leg; if the boot gapes open you may need to have it altered for a more chic look - a standard procedure at most cobblers.
Some critics say that over-the-knee boots scream "hooker." Granted, Julia Roberts was sporting a pair of shiny, black, over-the-knee, stiletto-heeled boots as a working girl in the movie Pretty Woman, but that was 1990 and this is now. Unlike the Pretty Woman, we're not pairing the over-the-knee boots with salacious eighties spandex getups. Instead, modern women are rocking the over-the-knee boot with tasteful, modest, modern staples.
Narrow, fur-lined lace-up tall boots are a sweet accompaniment to a flirty short skirt. For a funky casual style, try wearing knee socks over your tights and letting them peek (ever so slightly) over the top of your boot. This look works best if your socks and tights are contrasting colors.
UGGs have become all the rage as the surfer-type's (and urban wanna-be surfer type's) winter foot-wear of choice. These robust, wooly sheepskin boots have been fashioned for years by Australian craftsmen, and were first mass introduced to North America in 1978 by Brian Smith, a young Australian surfer seeking to spread the UGG-love across the United States.
Twenty-five years later, and while UGGs aren't exactly the height of chic sophistication or glamorous sexiness, they are hailed by wearers as the ultimate in comfort and warmth at 30 below.
Boots can be practical or sexy, although rarely both in the salt-laden streets of harsh winter climates. While it may often seem like store clerks are just trying to boost their commissions by ringing up protective sprays and gels, their sales gimmick is not totally bogus.
It is essential to understand that not all boots are created equal. The word "boot" is not synonymous with water-proof or snow-friendly. Respect your fashion investment by weather-protecting and cleaning all of your winter footwear regularly.
Realize that protective and restorative shoe applications cannot perform miracles. Have the common sense to know when to air on the side of practicality and not to wear your suede stiletto calf-cut boots. Salt and water produce damaging, lasting stains which - in addition to ruining boots' finish - actually corrode the integrity of genuine suede, leather and fabric. Purchase a swank boot bag in which to tote your trendy footwear to work in nasty winter conditions while opting for damage-proof snow or rain boots while en route. Link........
