Fashion Schizophrenia

I love Fashion Week!  Woohoo!  I fully admit to my wholly girly-girlness, but Rag & Bone and Proenza definitely had some pieces I covet.  What were your favorite shows?

Alice + Olivia and 3.1 Phillip Lim remain my favorite suppliers of party dresses.  I'd like to own the entire DVF collection.  Marc Jacobs, sadly, wasn't my favorite.  The snakeskin boots at Burberry Prorsum??  Hello, lover.

My favorite collection was Carolina Herrera.  If I had the bank account of my fellow Texas Alum, I too would wear Carolina Herrera as much as possible.  Her clothes are so feminine and ultra luxe.  I also happened to LOVE the makeup.  It was Dynasty-fab!  

Here are some of my favorite looks... check out Style or Elle for all the shows!

Help

Glad to see the fashion industry (and my employer) stepping up to help with the devastation in Haiti.  You can purchase this t-shirt from many different retailers for just $25.00 and all of the net proceeds go to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.

NeuLash(ES)!

I am happy to report, my neuLash appears to be working!!  Unfortunately, I had a hard time getting a good before picture, so I can't really show you.  But I can definitely see a new row of little lashes sprouting and a bit of length added. 

My friends at work have been having even better results.  No less than two of my co-workers have actually had to trim their lashes because they're getting so long.  I was with my friend at Mico last week and a stranger even commented on her lush lashes.

According to the March issue of Glamour, lash growers definitely work...with Latisse bringing the fastest results at $120 for 3 ml (plus a prescription).  A little pricey.  The good news is, L'Oreal just saved the day and created L'Oreal Paris Concentrated Lash Boosting Serum.  Quite a mouthfull but also quite a bargain at $15. 

 Here's a neuLash before and after...

She's Baaaaack!!

When the post-holiday blues attempt to take over, I take solace in the fact that it means my other favorite time of year has arrived...awards season!!  Golden Globes, SAG, Grammy's and of course the Oscars ...nights full of lashes, cleavage, smoky eyes and just utter glam.  Love it!


My excitement this year was doubled when I heard my favorite commentator was making her way back to the red carpet.  Yes, Joan Rivers is back on E!  I have so many memories of watching her on the red carpet, making every critique that we're all thinking.  She's hilarious and usually dead on.  Welcome back, Joan!

Kate Hudson is my best dressed thus far in the season.  I love her personal style and I love how honest she is about the work it takes to have a body like that.  Can't wait to see what she wears to the Oscars!

White HOT!!
