MAKEUP MONDAY ♥ "ERIN" HAIR & MAKEUP

Apparently Erin Fetherston's namesake line is no more and now she has a lower-budget line simply called "ERIN"....? I don't really get it. But maybe that other line tanked in profits and this was a more easy way to make some cash. Dunno. But the Fall 2011 ERIN collection sure had some lovely hair and makeup. I did like some of the looks, not all of them...but a few of them. But it was gorgeous to look at mainly because of all the blush colors and the gorgeous braided halo, which I love love, and the clean clean face. You have to admit that most of the admits would be incredibly boring if the girl wasn't so stylee. It's the hair and makeup, especially the bare brow, that bring it to another level. Oh...I forgot to mention that all of the pieces from the new ERIN range will be less than $600.♡

so pretty. i know this is prob a hair piece on a girl with short hair, but it's still gorgeous.
fresh angelic but still cool for fall (cool as in cold)
i love this look...a bit of peachy pink blush...bare brows...light lips.
so fresh
simple and pretty and who wouldn't love that sweater jacket/cape/thing?
i love this minus the necklace. i mean she has enough going on with her hair. i have a vintage 60s piece that's exactly like this dress minus the sleeves. i'll post it up later today if i can get a good enough photo.
really wearable and gorgeous.
so silent star. love it.

SATURDAY SHOW ♥ THE LAKE AND STARS


I was looking at the new shows on my Style.com IPhone app and I noticed a new label I had never really ever heard of, nor seen during NYFW. I was a magazine editor and writer for some of the best magazines for years (Dazed, Tokion, Oyster, etc)...so I do keep my finger on the pulse of what's happening, so to speak. And even if I'm unsure or don't particularly fancy a designer, I still look at every collection. Even if it means I just skim through it. Today I noticed THE LAKE AND STARS and it blew me away.  It's exactly the type of lingerie I'm always seeking to feature. Not only that, the lookbook and I guess all the collections, feature girls of all sizes, which makes it even more interesting. I love love love some tight old burlesque-ish granny panties! And garter belts. The two New York designers (Brooklyn!), Nikki Dekker and Maayan Zilberman, are equally cute and they should be credited not only for creating hot stuff, but for also making the genius decision to show during fashion week. Sometimes I actually do miss New York and especially fashion week. Most times, I don't...but when I see collections like this, I feel pretty sad I'm not there covering it. :) PS If you get a chance, go to their website and check out the insanely good insane new campaign for the new collection!♡
