Another reason why I love Paris is because of their pharmacies. These pharmacies are located just about on every corner, and hold a wide variety of super high-quality skin care products at affordable prices. I love
Caudalie products because they are made out of grape extracts and lots of anti-oxidant natural ingredients. Their products are super soothing and can energize even the most tired, stressed-out, and hung-over skin. I initially was introduced to these products at
Blue Mercury here in the states (a place that seems totally snobby, but is actually a great place to find the best+trendiest beauty products).

I saw a picture styled by
Lala over at
Oh Joy!, and I love her sensiblitites. The pictures feel so natural and elegantly lazy (and I mean lazy in the best way possible!).

I’m loving the
Manoush website. I’ve been a long time fan of Manoush, and always saw the line in my favorite boutiques, but never even thought to see if they had a site. I got curious just now, and took a gander and was pleasantly surprised. Small lines always tend to have weird non-functioning websites, but this one is a feast for the eyes! The styling absolutely perfect and beautifully arranged mixing and matching so many inspirations/ideas from morrocan-ish belts to femme embroideries which feel like treasured doilies.

Everywhere I look I see milkmaid hair. Above are some shots from
Jane Magazine and
WWD FAST. I love the look, but whenever I try it I look like I’m 12.

I’m obsessed with 60’s hair styles right now, and here is the perfect solution for all of your Londoners who share my obsession:
Topshop. Topshop is always one step ahead, they have just created what sounds to be the very best thing in the world, ‘Hersheson’s Blowdry Bar at Topshop’. It’s a pink pod of style located at the Oxford Circus store, and they will be offering styling services at affordable prices. The concept is that there will be a narrow selection of trendy/runway inspired looks. So, now not only do you have to worry about someone having the same top on, they might also have the exact same hair style. I think it’s pretty hysterical, but also amazing. I’d love to get my hair done like the ‘Bardot updo’ shown above (from
WWD).

Cher in the early days way such an amazing style icon…I love her crazy raven eyes and chunky bangs.

Just one thing more about Jane mag…I love their beauty spread in the March issue. They recommend half lips…meaning that you apply a red stain or gloss in the middle of you lips for a splash of color, a nice way to wear red without looking like a harlot. I think I’ll try this look tomorrow.

I didn’t care for Givenchy’s
lace face ladies in their Paris couture show, but Bill Murray and Vigo Mortensen look great in a touch of lace for the
New York Times Magazine.

Canadian Irina Lazareanu is my new favorite on the catwalk, up until this point I haven’t seen much of her, but it seems as though this is her year to own the runway.

As we predicted so far there has been a strong Asian presence on the NY runways for Fall 2006. United Bamboo, DKNY, Doo.Ri, Three as Four, Luella and many others all had a strong Asian initiative happening on the catwalk. Du Juan, Hye Park, and Anne Watanabe were consistently popping up sporting designer collections. Let’s hope this is the first of many Asian mafia collages I get to make this season!

Hmmm…Turlie is fighting me on my Asian invasion prediction, but I really think there is a strong possibility of some Asian beauties popping up in the Fall collections. Du Juan (upper right) has definitely been getting the most face time, but Ai Tominaga (upper left) was a strong presence at Ellie Saab. I’ve also got my eye on Yoon Ae (left), from Daryl K’s 2005 collection.

In the early 90’s Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, and Cindy Crawford, rulled the runway. Now we have passed another major grouping of modells i.e. Gemma Ward, Kate Moss, Daria W, and Giselle. Who are the next big faces going to be?
Leo and I are predicting that there may be a strong Asian posse hitting the runway this season. What do you think?

In the styling war between hair and makeup, the tresses had the upper hand in this years spring couture shows. Lacroix, Chanel, and Gaultier all got the memo. Gaultier shoved random pieces of trim into the up-dos of his models (I think that Gaultier caught a glimpse of Givenchy’s faux lace styling disaster and decided to throw a touch of lace onto Du Juan’s forehead, as shown in the upper left). Chanel (bottom left) handled this styling concept with the most control, the metal flowers and garnishes looked purposeful and added tremendously to the overall look of the show. Lastly we have Lacroix (bottom right) whose look is overdone, but that is what the house is known for. So, I guess, it’s okay.

Check out these fierce nails. Fashion is getting sluttier by the second with all the towering heels; we’ve got to have the nails to match. I’ve played around with having the salon glue crystals to various parts of my nails and I’ve been holding on to this tear from NYLON for a while, so it’s finally time for me to take the plunge and get it done. I’ll let you know how it works out!
