Manicure MadnessĀ 

1/16/2013

0 Comments

 
Gone are the days when a manicure meant just a clear coat, or non color, such as Ballet. Of course Nude + the Classic French Manicure always look right. But now there are so many more compelling options. Experiment...go a little bit MAD.

Unorthodox colors like Chartreuse are trending for Spring.

Pop of orange on your nails + hot pink on your lips. Modern color blocking for Spring 2013.

Silver, gold, metallic...nails as jewelry.

Glitter Tips is all the make-up a young beauty needs.

Nude nails, matte make-up + pastel eyes are toujours elegant.

A Day with Sarah, Style Sleuth Extraordinaire

6/11/2012

How lucky am I to have Sarah, Style Sleuth Extraordinaire + dear friend give me a tour of all her favorite haunts in the East Bay + SF.  Her discerning list included Erica Tanov, The Gardener, The Voyager, MAC, Tail of the Yak and if there was time pop into the De Young to view the Gaultier Exhibit.

Every detail was a delight

A quick stop into Marie Veronique ORGANICS. Chemistry teacher turned skin care guru. Much to Sarah's delight, Marie Veronique herself was there with her glowing skin..

Marie Veronique's secret. Retinol to be mixed with Vitamin C powder.
Next MAC, short for Modern Appealing Clothing, one of Sarah's favorite.   And for very good reason.   When we arrive she is greeted like the Rock Star she is, by MAC owners, brother + sister, Ben + Chris Ostipal.

MAC has the most interesting collection of designer clothing in SF. Also where I fell in love with all things Pom, Pom.
Many quarters, energy + an insatiable love of design + discovery is needed for a day sleuthing with Sarah.  Sadly we did not make the Gaultier Exhibit...another time.

Red Hair the Best Accessory

3/12/2012

0 Comments

 
One's hair is said to be one's best accessory.   And this season that accessory is red.    What a breathe of fresh air from all the blonde wannabees, play it safe brunettes + super trendy pink or blue dos.  Perfect red hair has the perfect pitch.  Just enough impact but stopping short of contrived.  Strong enough to stand up to a black leather suit or imbue extra cool to a color block outfit.  Proof the two lovely ladies photographed at the Fall 2012 RTW Shows.  The best place ever to sniff out what is new before it arrives at a Starbucks near you.

Fall 2012 - Hair Tips from the Runway

2/16/2012

0 Comments

 
A wise editor once instructed me, when I was a young assistant at a one of my first shows, to take it all in.   The hair, makeup, length of the skirts, width of the trouser, height of the shoe.  So much to see + absorb.   Love when a fresh runway look is easy to recreate like the faux bobs below.

No fuss, no muss just tuck those locks into your scarf or sweater...

I adore this, edgy but easy to create look of the loosely wrapped ponytail shown at Herve Leger.  Hipster elegant at it's best..

Get These Brows

2/15/2012

I started out in life with brows like this or even thicker.  Seriously I was about 10 hairs away from having a uni-brow.  Through the highways + bi-ways of brow trends, I can unequivocally state  Thick is Better.

Donna Karan Spring 2012 Make-up for her show
 New York's Spring 2012 runways, eyebrows were groomed, thickened, and penciled in becoming the focal point of the face. The brows on Donna Karan's runway (above.  Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury, inspired by Yasmin LeBon's brows, a popular model  in the late 80, kept a well defined brow using both pencil and powder in short, quick strokes.

For us mere mortals without the benefit of an in-house make-up artist, minimal waxing followed by a brow tint seems to do the trick...

The minute I arrive in Manhattan I usually go directly to the Boom Boom Bar.
