I wonder what it's like to wear mink lashes. Aira has an array of mink lashes for one to choose from. It sound decadent...and strange. Especially if you have allergies to fur. But it also sounds like an amazing idea for a makeup/beauty shoot, right? Don't freak out if you have an aversion to fur...they also have faux mink lashes for those of you who want the look without the animal connection. Faux real.♡

FAUX MINK MEDIUM LENTGH IS $24.95 AND FAUX MINK SHORT LASHES ARE ONLY $24.00
BUT THE FAUX MINK DOESN'T LOOK AS REAL AS THE REAL MINK AT ALL.
Habillées Pour Éte 2010 is a great show on the Sundance Channel's Full Frontal Fashion "network"...of course it's done by Loïc Prigent (and everyone who reads my blog knows how much I love Loïc's work). It's actually a really good study on the new faces of Paris fashion, if you look at it that way. I mean, they do show a lot of new designers who do not get any play anywhere. I'll def be covering them here. I have part 6 shown above, but you can see the rest here , starting from part 1. I do love watching these kinds of things that show backstage and elevator talk and candid chatter...as well as good fashion. And silly fashion. But I also love films that document what's going on...that's why I studied journalism. I wanted to chronicle things like this and I was able to cover a ton of up-and-comings because I only wrote for publications like Dazed and Tokion and others that didn't want to cover things/people everyone else was covering. So I loved this film precisely because it had a bit of everything and did show a lot of good footage of French designers who are young and unknown for the most part. And probably starving. Enjoy it. Keep your eye out for them. Cover them. And support them, if you can.♡
How many pieces can you count that you actually like? I can count about 3 that I think are worth the the trek and would be really cool to own. But the video is cheeky, fun, interesting...it's good for the collection. I think one of the best things about the video is the styling of the hair on the girls. Lots of good hair looks. And....does anyone know if those maid dresses are actually part of the line or just for the video? Minus the aprons and maybe even the Peter Pan collars, those dresses are hot. I think the maids are really cute in the Lanvin x H&M fashion film. You may have already seen this like 100 times. But I wanted to post in anyone in case you hadn't. Plus, I really liked it. I'll make next week's post a film post. From one of my favorite films.
Ev er.
Oh...I read a post recently on a friend's fashion blog about how she hates fashion videos and she doesn't get why they even make them (hi!)...well...people make fashion videos because THEY CAN. It's the year 2010....it's a new medium. And, maybe a lot of the videos (I mean yeah...a lot of the videos) suck or are boring. But it's the new thing right now. It's going to take time for people to get it. And some people are. Like Gareth Pugh . I think he does great branding and showcasing of this collection in the videos he's done (or Nick Knight at SHOWstudio.com). It's just like anything new that breaks into the scene....there are going to be a ton of mistakes before you see a ton of brilliance. The web isn't just for 2D visuals. The entire point of the web is that you can do so so so much more. So much more that's not even been tapped into yet. THAT'S the point of fashion videos. She probably hates this Lanvin for H&M video, too. I don't think it's the best thing ever. But I sure think it's a great effort.♡
It's already starting to get cold. Well, maybe not so much everywhere...but in some places. I do love a season change when you can finally bust out the cold cold wardrobe items. I have been looking at a lot of the stock on the Tatty Devine site and I've been wanting to showcase some of the Bernstock Speirs pieces they have for sale for the winter days. Super cute and girl. Which is just how I like it. (I especially love the gloves....they're connected. If you aren't familiar with this style, what you do is run the gloves inside the sleeves of your coat...the ribbon connecting the gloves runs behind your back. And then when you take the gloves off, they hang at the end of your sleeve cuff. They dangle if you will...and it's so so convenient...and cute.) And PS...Tatty Devine ships worldwide!♡
Bernstock Speirs ribbon hat in cream £49.50
Bernstock Speirs ribbon gloves...these are so convenient and old-fashioned fashion. love them! £52.00
these gloves actually detach if you like and then you can use the connector bit as a scarf. so cool. £70.00
