Cleopatra As Fashion Muse from the fall catwalks to Sex and the City 2

Beauty & Jewelry Trend Report: Miss Cleo the Modern “It” Girl The Miss Cleo trend in beauty at L.A.M.B. for Fall 2010 Why wait for fall? Everyone wants a jump on a fashion trend, especially when it's something that you can glom onto, run with, and make personal... before it is even “in season,” the proposed season, that is. Look no further than some blunt bangs, heavily lined cat eyes, and very royal and sensual jewelry in a BC kind of way. Hold your cobra, Cleopatra is our favorite muse of the moment! There certainly was no shortage of models with a ‘Walk Like An Egyptian' vibe on the fall catwalks, or even some not so subtle nuances to Elizabeth

We Heart Sarah Jessica Parker’s Pendant Necklace

Size does matter when it comes to SJP's jewelry choice! Sarah Jessica Parker stepped out last night for her Bravo's "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist" reality TV show and we think her choice of jewelry was a work of art! While SJP's "major" heart pendant-- on a very chunky chain-- was almost old school rapper huge, it's rough-hewn, hammered texture and antique finish tone it down to be modern and chic. Citrine by the Stones Dulce Amor Necklace doubles as a belt! A largish, statement-making pendant necklace works so well with spring to summer fashion and is a perfect pairing for drapey tops or simple T-shirts. One is all you need when wearing something this large, do be

Christian Siriano for Payless Platform Shoes Big Trend at a Cheap Price

Talon Heels are the of-the-moment crazy fashion trend, why not make it cheap chic? . Let's face it, the trendier something is, the cheaper it should cost. You probably won't be living in these shoes but they will make your day (or night) on the few times that you die for them. Then, like any another sugary sweet craving, you'll be over them faster than you can say, "return on investment." Christian Siriano for Payless To the Point Printed Platform Pump The crazy talon heels are so terribly on trend at this very moment that there is nothing better than some super cheap chic thrill to satisfy your craving for these uber trendy platform shoes. We say buy up a

Stylish Clogs, you will want them!

Thank Chanel for your clog dancing beats! Don't say we didn't warn you. We've been spotting clogs and clog boots with street style cred for a few seasons. We've been stocking up our Cool Clogs Shop, when whenever we see a wood-soled wonder that looks right. And now it's official- Chanel showed clogs on the spring 10 runway and they have morphed into a must-have trend for fashonistas and the comfort-seeking alike. Visit our Cool Clogs Shopping Guide ??But we did tell you... Clogs have got to be one of those styles that should be the dictionary picture of anti-cool, anti-fashion, bedraggled mommy, utilitarian nurse, cook, or server footwear of choice. But when the clog gets a bit of design

Moroccanoil hair products are a conversation maker

A tiny dab creates a very silky light finish that is said to protect against UV rays and environmental stressors. For all those who think New Yorkers are in a hurry, well, we're in a hurry to get with what's worth spending time on. Cutting to the chase, if you will— and, a talkative bunch at that. I really do love riding city buses.?? If I wasn't such a multi-tasking, overloaded New Yorker, I could spend my day riding a bus and observing and chatting and taking in the view. The other day, I dropped by a new(ish) products show for the media and left with just a few interesting things to consider. One was a bottle of Moroccanoil (that's

On Trend: Strong Shoulders

How to wear shoulder pads and get the look, not the bulk Let's face it, a broader shoulder makes your hips look smaller and what's not to love about that? Sharp shouldered jackets, origami draping, extended seaming, and overtly blousey sleeves, there is no stopping the bolder shoulder as a silhouette to add to your wardrobe. What's modern about the bold shoulder is that they don't always have a bulky ‘set in' shoulder pad, like their 80's counterpart. Sharp shoulders as seen at Calvin Klein Fall 09 runway There's more of a peaked rise to the tip (thank you Balenciaga for never letting this styling trick take a nap) or have a sharp, clean edge rather the bulk of the

Fashion Rocks Out with Heavy Metal

How to wear the metallic trend. No music skills required, just a lot of glam! Fashion is rocking out with heavy metal but it sure isn't about the hair bands. Just the hint of a rock and roll wild child with some big time designer edge! We're loving the elegant glitz of metallic fabrics and leathers for both day and night. They play out best when paired with something subtle, like khaki rolled hem pants and super platform bronze shoes or a metallic steel leather trench over a simple grey flannel pencil skirt. Black opaque tights tone down a lame or liquid bronze dress for something more date worthy. The key to avoid looking tacky is to not pile too

Killer Shoes

When fashion gets overly literal They're fabulous, but can you walk in them? We're spotting girls all over the place wearing the most to-die-for uber glam towering heels. Heels so high, that they verge on fetish shoes. They're fabulous, but can you walk in them? We're spotting girls all over the place wearing the most to-die-for uber glam towering heels.
