Effortless Chic: Wake Up!

Had a late night “studying” or stayed up too late watching the Bachelor the next morning, you might need a quick fix for looking more attentive, shall we say. An easy fix for this little problem is Mascara! A classic item in your makeup bag that cannot be forgotten. Most people say that the first thing that they notice about someone is their eyes. So, if you have a meeting with a professor, a meeting with a client, or interview (or a lunch date!) it is important to look your best. Mascara gives the illusion that your eyes are brighter so you can give the best first impression or keep a good one.

            For the best possible results use a good eyelash curler and then use your best mascara. Our favorites are mascaras by Laura Mercier, Nars, and Bare Escentuals.

Fashion Report: Giambattista Valli



   First word that came to mind when we saw the Pre Fall 2012 collection for Giambattista Valli was luxury. This collection was a fresh taste of both clean elegance and luxury. The clean lines of the clothes give a relaxed structured look to any outfit and the luxe furs will make any girl (or guy) feel like royalty. An added layer of luxury comes from the bright colors from multiple patterns throughout the collection, including one of my favorites, cheetah. The best part of this collection however, is not the clothes. It’s the accessories. Valli is able to keep his looks interesting by adding cute bags, jewelry, and shoes to complete each look. The best pieces to have in your closet would be the jackets/ blazers, black calfskin boots, and purses. Hope you enjoy this lovely collection as much as we did!

Fashion Report: The Row



   Now that all the Pre-Fall 2012 shows are over as well as the 69th Golden Globes, We can start reporting on new and upcoming trends we are seeing from designers! The first designer we will be reporting on is The Row. The Row is a high luxury brand created by America’s favorite fashionable twins, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Although most people are unable to pay for their high priced goods, the people who can are in for a treat. The line consists of clean-lined pieces in basic colors. At first when you see a piece, you’ll probably think, “Do I really want to pay so much money for a pair of trousers?” YES. Although The Row kept their line to mostly basics, they are made of quality materials that will allow you to wear their clothes for a long time, or until next season. Each piece has a lovely quality about them. Whether its the simplicity of the piece, or the intricate details at the hem, you’ll want to have an item or two of their collection in your closet this season.

Effortless Chic: Winter Sparkle

Even though we are in the dead middle of winter I still find myself dreaming of spring. When it comes to nail color I often feel adventurous. Nail polish is such an amazing invention because you can match it with your outfit, the season, or your mood. Just throwing on a coat of polish makes you look, well, polished!  In effort to find the best balance between winter and spring colors I used Essie’s “Lady Like” and “Shine of the Times” topcoat (on the ring finger only). The glittery topcoat adds a little something unexpected to just a regular manicure. These nails will leave you looking effortlessly chic! Enjoy!
