Anne Fontaine and Audrey Tautou - "Coco Before Chanel" Los Angeles Premiere

French chic at the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Coco Before Chanel’

The fashion would have to be amazing. Anything with Chanel in the title must be genius.

But what’s more genius and relevant to updating your look is the very simple and understated glamour of director Anne Fontaine and star Audrey Tautou worn at the Los Angeles premier of “Coco Before Chanel”. Both woman have mastered basic black that is anything but boring in a timeless style that is gorgeous on a woman of any age.

While every wannabe fashionista has been having sleepless nights as what she should wear for Fashion Week, some know that it’s the easiest to be simple, smart, and chic. Style that comes naturally to the wearer is always the most covetable.

Beauty Tip: Loose Powder Cleans up Eye Shadow

September 09, 2009

Beauty Tip: Use a generous amount of loose powder under your eyes before applying your eye shadow.

Fashion Week beauty prep to stay pretty all day long…

Looking for a time saving tip to keep your makeup fresh and fabulous for Fashion Week?

Use a generous amount of loose powder under your eyes before applying your eye shadow. Now you don’t have to worry about your eye shadow sprinkling under your eyes and becoming messy when you try to clean it up when you apply eye shadow.

The trick is that the shadow will fall right on top of the loose powder and when you have finished applying your eye makeup, you will see that when you lightly dust away the loose powder, the excess shadow dusts right off with the powder without a mess.

Ta-da!

Anti-Aging Beauty Tips: Younger Looking Hands

September 08, 2009

According to a recent study, people thought photos of hands with polish and jewelry looked younger

Get the Upper Hand on Looking Young…

Hands can show your age, that’s not news, but there are some new ways to get - and keep - your hands looking younger. Even some 30-something celebrities have been photographed and ridiculed in the press and online because of their “claw-like” hands. It’s easy to forget about hands because you’re usually looking at yourself from the chest up in the mirror, but just a few extra minutes and some quick shortcuts can take years off your hands.

Tips For Younger Looking Hands:

1) Lose the blues. I found this tip by accident one day while experimenting with SPF lotions. Tinted sunscreen does double duty when it comes to your hands. Not only does it protect your hands from sun damage, but the tint actually gives a subtle youthfulness to hands by camouflaging blue veins.

On the Road: Authentic western looks are more romance than reality...

September 03, 2009

My favorite find for the campiness of its marques alone was Redneck Chic, a consignment emporium in Kalispell, Montana. Amazing jewelry and the right sense of irony sets this shop apart from the rest.

Road trip shopping in Montana and Wyoming for iconic western fashion

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam…

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, except when it comes to the fashion that’s cloudy all day!

City slicker fashion peeps have a romantic and idolized view of Western clothing. We assume that the fabulous fringe, perfectly worn in cowboy boots, dusty dark jeans, and delicately beaded belts are an easy find in any shop in a town where lodgepole pine outweighs cement or old time shoot ‘em up references still apply.
