Madonna's Undies
Second only to my love of high heels
is my love of gorgeous lingerie.
Which is why I follow Frou Frou Fashionista religiously.
I also follow them on twitter @fairefroufrou
The name alone suggests great things are ahead!
I did have a particularly witty post for you today,
but after seeing what they posted, it felt somewhat anit-climactic.
So I'm re-posting theirs.
Check out their blog
If you're in my old playground, Studio City, go see them.
(I think you can order their sensational goodies online too)
Follow their blog, and follow them on twitter.
But for now,
enjoy!
P.S. Madge: LOVE the makeup, love the hair, love the styling.
Perfection again...
Falke tights, L'wren Scott dress, Hakaan shoes
Falke tights, Prada shoes
bra & panty, Madonna's own
Dolce & Gabbana corset
Madonna makes her debut...on our blog, that is! The following are images from the May 2010 issue of Interview magazine. Of course we expected to see her wearing Dolce & Gabbana intimates, but we were surprised that she wore one of her personal lingerie sets (no brand mentioned) for one of the pictures (though it's does look kind of bra from Macy's). The fishnet stockings are from Falke, which is really what captured our attention in the first place. Truly, stockings can make all the difference in an editorial.

Its The Mighty Aphrodite!
So we're in that interesting spacewhere the cold weather is mostly over,
we're wearing lighter, more fun clothes,
but we don't yet have that lovely summer color to our skin.
In other words, time to bring out the bronzer.
Bronzer is one of the most divine, yet hideously misused makeup products ever invented.
So bad it makes you cringe.
So here are some tips for truly gorgeous bronzer.
.jpg)
1. Bronzer is for a quick summer overhaul. Its all about a lighter, fresher, sun-kissed look,
not a dark, "colored in" look.
2. Always be very light handed when applying bronzer. Its easy to add more, but trickly to take away if you've put on too much.
3. Bronzer should be lightly applied to the areas that the sun would naturally hit if you were outside all day. Your forehead, across the upper cheekbones and bridge of the nose,
and over the flat part of your chin.
4. Use a densely packed brush, like a kabuki brush, and after tapping the excess product off, use a swirling motion to apply, working from the outside of the face in toward the middle.
5. Your choice of product is as crucial as your application technique. The heavy yellows and browns that make up the average bronzer can really make the skin look dull, lifeless and aged. (especially if over-applied).
I just HAD to put in a pic of the beautiful Kim Kardashian!
My personal faves??
I have used Guerlain's Terracotta Powder in my kit since the beginning of time.
And for the past few months I've been loving all over the amazing Aphrodite by Julie Hewett.
This one is particularly fabulous because of the way it wears (beautifully, evenly and long lasting) the color, which is exquisite - not too heavy, not too brown, and also because of the faint shimmer it has. It's like a bronze shimmer of glamor and gold.
The shimmer is extra fab as it stops the skin from looking dulled, and instead makes it look fresh and alive.
And skin that looks alive, also looks youthful.
So bronze up beautifully ladies!

Loewe Amazona Bag
I never seem to run out of things to want.
Well, more like things to pine for.
Look what I found on The Bag Snob :
Loewe Amazona Handbag, in many divine colors...
Is it not perfect?
Wouldn't life be extra super fab with one of these?
I.
Need.
One.
(or more...)

Loewe Amazona Bag
Under the direction of its creative director Stuart Vevers (of Mulberry fame), Spanish label Loewe (parent company: LVMH) is making a big push in the U.S.--and, in particular, New York. After an initial launch at Bergdorf's last November, this spring the brand will be carried at Jeffrey and Hirshleifer's as well. What's more, Loewe is touting its Amazona bag, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. Twenty models of the bag will be sold exclusively at Bergdorf's, some lined in fabric ($1,800), others in leather ($1,950). "The silhouette is very classic," said Vevers Wednesday night at a dinner he hosted in Manhattan. "I wanted to go back to the essence of what makes this brand special."
For the anniversary, Vevers tapped artist and photographer Nigel Shafran to shoot the Amazona in six locations around Madrid; the resulting photos will be used for Loewe window and store visuals. One look at the bag and it's easy to see why it's become a beloved holdall. It takes 10 to 12 hours to make each one, first off, and the modern hardware is super chic. The Amazona, available in colors like lemon yellow and red, makes for a great day bag for the stylish working woman. The bag is in my favorite shape: one part-bowler, one-part briefcase--but all utility. The top zipper zips open both ways almost completely, ensuring the user full access and maximum use of the bag. A stylish gym bag? Why not?

Its All About The Apron...
I have a big shoot today at the fabulous Hotel Valley Ho Ho Ho.
Its the 3rd shoot I've had there in three weeks
each with a different client.
Magazines and celebs love to shoot there because it is visually just so crazy sexy cool.
So anyway,
no time for a big blog post today.
Gotta make it short and snappy.
Check out this cool picture I found.
I think its Victoria's Secret
advertising something or other.
Who knows what.
Probably safe to say its not undies.
But what I am loving is the aprons.
I want one!
Paired with smokin high nude heels
and a killer hairdo
(Will would have done far better hair for a shot like this!
-maybe something more Mad Men?)
Anyway, the apron, a hairdo, heels and maybe a killer bullet bra
what else could a girl possibly need???
Happy Thursday!

Six Fun Steps To Brighten Your Midweek
Feeling the mid-week blahs?
No longer basking in the Monday Tuesday afterglow of last weekend,
and not yet getting revved up for the next weekend a laThursday and Friday.
Here we sit,
on Wednesdayho hum.
But don't worry.
I've got a plan.
6 Fun Steps To Brighten Your Midweek!
Number 1: Put on one of the new season's bright lipsticks.
A fabulous hot pink will wake you up and make your teeth look whiter than white!
(sitting at your desk doing this with your mouth will no doubt liven things up too!)
Number 2: Dab a little highlighter along your upper cheekbone to liven up your skin.
If you're looking a little drab or tired, pat a tiny amount under your eyes for an instant wide awake, bright and sparkly look!
Number 3: The best wake-me-up, pick-me-up, brighten- my-day ever!
Drink some Yerba Mate tea.
Add a little flavored sweetener, like Raspberry Chocolate Stevia and you have a cup of perfection, with no caffeine jitters and no post energy drink crash.
I swear by it!
Number 4: Spritz on a little something fresh and floral.
We are so in tune with the smells around us, so make yours fresh, lively and pretty,
and you'll feel that way too!
Number 5: Pull your hair back off your face into a chic, modern pony tail.
Jessica Alba looking fresh and happy
You'll instantly feel fun and vibrant!
Anne Hathaway rocking the white teeth, clean brows, modern pony and fab earrings. Evidently not wallowing in mid week doldrums.
Number 6: With your hair pulled back, and your ears, jawline and throat
all sexily exposedadorn your lobes with something fabulous like these chandelier earrings
that I found on the Katie M Designs website.
Actually, she's a friend of mine who designs jewels for the Hollywood elite,
but you can wear them too!
Feeling a little more chipper now?
And you'll be sooo ready for next Wednesday too!
