How fantastic is this??
Runway shows can start to look so much the same, especially by the time we get to Paris Fashion Week.
It could be argued that its difficult to come with something completely different than the traditional catwalk.
Unless you happen to be Marc Jacobs, that is!
The Fall 2011 Louis Vuitton Show
Backstage after the show Jacobs told journalists of his inspiration “We were thinking about obsession, fetishism, and we thought about an old hotel, with its chambermaids and the affairs that go on there”.
Easy to spot the subtle touches of eroticism in the sheer blouses, chambermaid-esque dresses, thigh high stockings with high sheen boots and sky high heels.
Love it!

Update Your Look For Spring
Spring is finally here, and after a long cold winter there is no time like the present to update your look.
Here are 5 ways to Update Your Look For Spring
Bright eyed and bushy tailed
Its hard to look bright and alert if your eyes are dragging!
Wake up and enliven your under eye area with skynICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels.
10 minutes under the eyes and you look bright and alive, depuffed and hydrated. Magic!
While we're on the subject of bright eyes, nothing draws attention to the eyes quite like a luscious fan of gorgeous lashes!
Paint wonder product LATISSE along your lashline nightly, and watch those lashes grow!!
Round out your eye with a beautifully groomed yet understated eyebrow.
The pale brows seen on the spring/summer 2011 runways are way too pale for most of us, but a constructed,
defined and well shaped brow will open the eye, and create an alluring dimension to the face.
Go all out on your lips!
If you are scaling back your eye makeup, spring 2011 is all about a gorgeous, bold, exciting lip. Look for a bright, fire engine red, or my favorite, a hot fuchsia.
The blue undertones found in MAC Something New and Cover Girl Spellbound make teeth look super white, and skin look bright and exciting.
Do away with boring old french manicures, and add a little vibrancy to your finger tips! Go for a bold pink, like OPI Too Hot Pink To Hold 'Em
or a coral jelly pink like OPI Guy Meets Gal-veston from their Texas Collection

Delicious Moments In Furs And Feathers
One of my favorite things is the Blogshelf app for ipad.
All my favorites are lined up there, and the list is long, but beyond fabulous!
One of my blog loves taking up prime real estate on my Blogshelf is Frozen Fingertips, a gorgeous study in images that I can scroll through forever.
I wish I could claim finding these next images myself, but they are in fact part of the Frozen Fingertips tumblr.
I think they are delicious moments in (hopefully but not likely faux) furs and feathers.
Enjoy!
I would love this!
Lips and fur

So happy to see Miss Britney looking like her gorgeous super supreme self!!
Has she ever looked hotter??
These ultra sexy images were shot by the genius that is
Mario Testino and styled by Panos Yiapanas.
Light on clothes, heavy on hair, I don't think she has ever looked more fabulous.

Happy Friday!
Due to an insane shoot schedule I haven't been posting anything on the euro-fashion weeks, but they are of course, completely amazing.
Here are some tidbits I picked up for you from the ever fabulous Fashionising.com.
Gucci was all about a 70's retro vibe, this time with punchy, exciting color
Lorella Signorino Atelier
Could you Die??? What I wouldn't do for those boots and that coat!!
I'm sure The Man Repeller would have loads to say about this one. But I'm sure she'd love it like I do!

Bold colours, bright prints and tutus!!! D&G was far too much fun for fall! Love Love Love it!!
I would wear a tutu like this on shoots every day of the week!
(and I'd feel so damn glam!)
Bold, exciting and alive D&G prints were fun and young.

How To Look Flat Out Fabulous For $50!!
I recently did a major job with Cover Girl, and was able to work all day with their fab new products.
I couldn't help but notice that a girl can get herself nothing short of flat out fabulous with these products for under $50!!
So here's your 5 step guide to gorgeous for spring using Cover Girl:
1.) It all starts with a great base. For spring you want something light, luminous and lovely to make your skin look fresh and dewy.Cover Girl NatureLuxe Foundation is a higher end product with some luxury ingredients.
This foundation has a luxurious lightweight feel, its silky formula goes on smoothly for a polished finish, and its infused with jojoba and cucumber.
Cover Girl NatureLuxe Foundation $11.99
2.) I am a huge advocate of cream blushes. They make the skin look so radiant and fresh, and are super quick and easy to apply with either your fingers, or with a foundation brush.
Cover Girl & Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush combines cheek color with Olay Regenerist Serum, so you can sculpt and contour your cheeks at the same time as infusing them with a youthful glow.
Cover Girl & Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush $10.99
3.) They eyes have it with these fantastic new Smoky ShadowBlast Eye Colors.
A clever two step system for creating bold, smoky eyes, there are six expertly coordinated shade duos, created by the amazing Pat McGrath. The sticks have a rounded end to use all over the lid, and a complimenting color on the angled end to use in the crease and along the lash line. Smoky ShadowBlast takes the fear factor out of doing a smoky eye, instead making it easy for anyone to create a professional look. So quick and simple!
SmokyShadowBlast Eye Color $7.49
4.) If you want to look high speed fab you've got to give your lashes some serious love. Create mega length and volume with LashBlast Fusion Mascara. Featuring Cover Girl's biggest brush ever, you can max out each and every lash with intense volume for a big bold look.
Smudgeproof and rubproof this buildable, lengthening formula gives you a dramatic fan of lashes, with no clumping and no flaking.
LashBlast Fusion Mascara $8.99
5.) Spring/Summer 2011 is all about a bright lip, and you just cannot beat the Cover Girl Lip Perfection lipsticks. I am obsessed with the hot fuchsia shade Spellbound. I wear it every single day!! Designed by Pat McGrath these lipsticks are bright gorgeous colors that can completely transform your day (and your lips!)

You immediately feel the moisturizing benefits of the lipstick, and the colors are To. Die. For.
