WB ♥ KAREN'S LITTLE ALIEN SUNGLASSES

I wanted to feature one of the recent shows here...but alas....I just haven't really been super wowed by the ending shows in Milan and the openers in Paris. I was happy to see the images for the See by Chloé show...but the images were so boring. I thought the Guy Laroche show didn't really look like a Guy Laroche show. I don't know. It's just the vibe it gave me. I wasn't totally in love with Rochas, either, and if you read my blog, you'll notice how much I love that label and the designer. So maybe this is a good time to make a simple post on the new sunglasses available from Karen Walker...I really really wanted the bunny glasses that she did last season...but they totally sold out. Here are the new ones she has available. I personally love the BETSY CRAZY TORTOISE square ones and the IRIS shades in black. You can see them all here. But I still want those crazy round Prada's from last year.♡

TT ♥ FAVORITE OSCAR LOOKS...ANGIE'S LEG

As predicted, there were only a couple of looks I liked at the 2012 Oscars and the rest was a big ass snooze. Oh well...maybe someone will have the nerve to wear a Giles Deacon next year. 

My first favorite look is Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton. I love love love love this. This is going here own way. This girl is part of a club here. If you get it then you know what I'm talking about, and it's not about a club at all. This is so Marc. I mean, he loves girls being girls (and I guess he likes Tomboys, too, though...). The red is perfect. The cut looks amazing. That sweet bling-y ribbon pinned at her waist. Michelle Williams isn't really anyone I run to the theater to see. But she looked cute. This look of course makes her look very young and that will make her career last a little longer than if they aged her up. I think I heard her jewelry was Forever Mark. Anyway, I loved it. I think this is the kind of girly look Natalie Portman was going for but it didn't really translate.

I don't get the bag choice, though...a pink croc' box? I think that was a major miss...look how pretty the detailing is up close. I love that bow and the color of the red/coral so much. This also looks so Wild West.



i love the sides and the back so much.
The other look wasn't as "cute", per se. But wow...what a look...she looked like an Oscar. It was George Clooney's current flame, Stacy Keibler. She's obviously confident and used to being in front of the cameras (she's like some athlete wrestler lady?) which is kind of cool to see instead of the other girls he tends to date who were a cocktail waitress a hot second ago (no offense to cocktail waitresses...but you can tell when someone is used to cameras or when they are just all about George..if that makes sense). I don't know too much about her except she's an AMAZON....and she looked pretty amazing when she arrived at the Oscars in her Marchesa gold number. Notice how pro she is at posing–she does a little front knee bend and a bend back or forward in every pic...she looks the same in every photo! 

it just doesn't look quite as nice in a photo...see, people...a dress/look might be amazing on the TV...LIVE...but when the flash makes it a still, it can kind of deflate. unless it's done for a shoot or something.

if i was her publicist, i would have asked her to stand up at tall as she can when she was photographed without george at her side...
these pics are not translating what i saw when i was watching the oscars. and they're not really nancy girl at all, really.
but look how pro she is at posing.
So...because I don't think the Stacy Keibler look in the photos doesn't really turn me on as much as it did when I was watching the Oscars, I'll have to add someone who has gotten a lot of slack for her leg...Angelina Jolie. What the hell is wrong with people? She looked f---ing gorgeous! She looked a bit too thin, but aside from that, she looked pretty amazing and I thought her pose was pretty hilarious and very old-school, pre-mommy Angelina. Her Atelier Versace dress was gorgeous. That's was an Elizabeth Taylor/old movie star dress and not everyone can wear something that simple...it's about the beauty of the girl inside of it. As for the leg...talk about someone who knows exactly how to work it...it's a massive success. She sticks her leg out for a few minutes and she has everyone talking about her and a twitter account called @angiesrightleg! Genius. Genius...♡

i mean...look how hot she is.
 she def knows how to WORK IT OUT
this look says it all.

MM ♥ GUCCI FALL 2012/2013 BEAUTY

On a side note, I am probably not always going to write out MAKEUP MONDAY or TUESDAY TAILOR anymore. I think it's getting redundant and looking a bit...dunno...un-fresh. I'll just do the abbreviation and then I might quit altogether. ALSO, sorry for the late posts but things are a bit busy with the book stuff and I get kind of burnt out on the computer. But rest assured, I will still post...even if it's later in the day...

I have a couple of posts today and a few exciting posts coming up that are not fashion week related. Though...I can't wait for Paris. I still think the majority of the really GRAND shows and collections are during Paris Fashion Week. I'm just say-in'. 


First, I wanted to do something on the makeup at Gucci Fall 2012/2013 because it was the reason why the show looked really good. I wasn't overly thrilled with the entire collection. But it was still pretty. But the makeup and the hair...were amazing. It was a bare brow (bleached brow or a "cam abru" as I wrote about here) and a wine/berry stained lip. I used to rock this look, the make up, a lot when I lived in New York. I think I wrote about it here a long time ago...how a stylist friend once asked me, "It looks good...but why do you bleach your eyebrows? I'm curious..." My response must have been something about love for the Glam Rock era and Bowie and stuff like that. These days I really love a full darker brow. So we'll see. 


so pretty.


Make up was overseen by the amazing PAT MCGRATH and the hairstylist in charge was LUIGI MURENU. They made this collection look way hotter than it already was.

These schoolgirl hairstyles are so pretty here...esp for a Gucci show. I love that juxtaposition of a high end fashion girl who likes the simple girly things in life like a simple hairdo. I had that hair...when I was around 8 or 9. But I think it works so well here and I've already started to see it on TV people.♡


i'm thinking of going a bit more this color...
and eventually ending up at this color...which i haven't done in 15 years...
