MAKEUP MONDAY ♥ A MODEL RECOMMENDS

I stumbled on this new-to-me YouTube beauty vlogger by accident the other night. I didn't know what to think at first because the Duran Duran "Girls On Film" intro is a bit annoying...I don't think people need to do crazy things like that. But the actual vlogger (I can't think of her name) is a real model, looks like a model and her taste is really really lovely. Plus, it's nice to get the goods from the kids who live it every single day. I did used to get a lot of new info when I was editing/managing a magazine fashion shoot. This model looks nothing like me, but she does have a look that I do love. Her hair is nice, her eyes are way on the side of her head (kind of like Kate Moss) and she has a huge space in her front teeth, which I also love. It's that mystical creature look. But better than all, she just speaks to us like a normal girlfriend, with her hair a mess sometimes, and she does have really excellent taste in makeup and product. And, I do like the simple model-esque looks that she does with cosmetics. She's simple, but it's that look everyone loves. Listen, when you work in the industry, you feel no jealously or envy with the models. Or, because of the models. They're usually very sweet and usually look like your sister's 11-year-old friend. But they do have a lot of insight to make up as they have their faces done for their jobs. So check out A MODEL RECOMMENDS on YouTube. I'm pretty happy to have found her. And I like her dry humor, too. PS...I do have a TON of new product to review on here. But I'll wait until after the shows. Also, my review of  the fashions at the Oscars....BORING. :) ♡

SUNDAY MATINEE ♥ MARNI FALL 2011 LIVE


The Marni Fall/Winter 2011 show goes live today Sunday, February 27th at 10:50am Milan time ! Just click HERE to go to the show! There's a lovely little film on that home page right now that I was hoping I could embed on here, but they aren't allowing it. Which is kind of silly. But I did find a film from last year that I thought was very pretty and simple. See below and enjoy the show! (I'm personally exhausted from waking up at 5am to watch the Jil Sander live stream. But, it was worth it.) PS If I like the show, I'll post it on here after it's available. I'll put it on this post...from the preview....it looked like there also might be some cross over from Prada with some caps? Dunno. Let's see. I haven't ever been the hugest fan of Marni. But I do do a lot of posts on the label...don't I?♡

SATURDAY SHOW ♥ PRADA PRADA PRADA

I just loved the Prada Fall 2011 collection so so much. So I wanted to post some pics of the gorgeous shades...maybe this should also be a Saturday Shades post? As well as some other comments about the show. I did also fancy the Versace show that was on today. Sigh. It was pretty hot. The long dresses at the end especially. And the Prince soundtrack was a nice add, considering he's been a fan of the Versace house since back in the day. But it was interesting that both the Prada and Versace opened their shows with almost identical looks...hmmmm. No matter. They were both gorgeous. I'm so looking forward to the live stream of the Jil Sander show tomorrow! Or, I mean, today! PS I love Tim Blanks because I used to watch him religiously as a teenager when he was on Fashion Television...his voice is  so soothing and recognizable to me. Love him.♡




Just some of my favorites....
amazing shades that will start a new trend.
amazing shoes/boots...i'm so happy not everyone is doing platforms! i love platforms. but non-platforms are incredibly meek and girly.
i love this pink shimmery boot with black "socks".
heaven!
sigh.
i really esp love these crazy 60s almost hippy boots. i have a pair of vintage hippy boots that have a strip of python running down the front. and the rest is tan suede. the only thing is they are flat. all they'd need is a heel and they'd be exactly like the prada boots. these are just tooo amazing. and i am sure a lot of girls won't be wearing these. it takes a brave one to do it. so if you feel like you can do it DO IT. 
i would pick these. so girl. so glam. so amazing.
insanity.
a little more calm/wearable. for the masses, i mean. ;)
the perfect nancy girl bag...just like in the logo.
um, yes, please.
too amazing for words!
