I can’t decide how I feel about the new trend, as indicated by Who What Wear. I don’t find it particularly flattering…thoughts?

When considering fashion trends incited by design houses’ runway shows, observing and drawing inspiration from above the neck can be just as exciting and informative. Here are a few of my favorite “beauty looks” from the fall 2010 ready-to-wear collections.
Dolce and Gabbana: the sleek, simple hair paired with minimal make-up and bomb shell red lips [...]

I remember the day my mother bought me my very own make up. I was in fifth grade, and had been sneaking experimentations with her lipstick and eye shadow for about a year. I don’t remember the reason I was deemed mature enough to begin my own make up collection, but one day after school [...]

Rising Hollywood style star Reinaldo Irizarry
By: Anitra Rakel
When I flip through a magazine, often times I find myself wondering how these busy celebrities can piece together such unique looks on a daily basis. Truth be told, they are not spending hours upon hours of their own time, they hire the best in the industry to [...]

Boston doesn’t host the same spectacularly star-studded, haute couture saturated fashion week as NYC or Paris, for examples, but our week aims to feature the local industry and the big timers. The Betsey Johnson shop is a staple of Newbury Street, Boston’s premiere shopping district. On Wednesday, Sept. 30th, the design house took over Boston [...]

Bizarre, grotesque, obscene, erotic, fascinating, and beautiful; all words to describe Tyler Shields’ evocative photography and video portraits. The LA-based artist creates works of art inviting controversy and conversation, elbowing his way to the forefront of pop culture documentation. Shooting everything and everyone from Brittany Snow to inflamed Louis Vuitton handbags, Tyler’s avant-garde vision captivates [...]

I feel truly blessed to live in New England and to reap the benefits of all four seasons. There is nothing like inhaling magnolia blossoms in springtime, sailing the ocean in a hot breeze in the summer, carving pumpkins and admiring the foliage in autumn, and skiing down powder slopes in winter. In honor of [...]

After posting a review of Louis Vuitton’s horrendous fall 2009 collection (see *here*), I offer a fall collection on the opposite end of the spectrum. Dries Van Noten’s designs provide stunning, wearable elegance. I simply adore his use of fluid silk florals contrasting with muted, tailored blazers and coats. Check out the full collection *here*.

It’s always fun to peruse the couture and ready-to-wear collections of designers not only to get inspiration and do some shopping (if your wallet is healthy), but to laugh/vomit/cry at the monstrosities some designers call stylish. While reviewing the Fall ‘09 ready-to-wear collections on style.com, I was appalled and amused that designers try to sell [...]

I am completely obsessed with *Dripbook*. As a collection of visual stimulation from photographers, stylists, and anyone with a creative eye, Dripbook offers me hours of entertainment and inspiration. I present work from one of my favorite “Dripbookers”, Sam Hessamian. Check out more of his photography *here*.Â

This girl thinks she can. As an “exercise in sustainable fashion”, Sheena Matheiken has pledged to wear the same dress every day for one year. She rotates seven identical black dresses throughout the week and goes crazy with accessories; and it’s working! Sheena creatively adorns herself with vintage necklaces, scarves, leg warmers, ruffles…anything you can think [...]

For those of us in New England, we’ve been blessed the past few days with gorgeous beach-going weather. In the spirit of unearthing cut-off shorts and itty bitty teeny bikinis from winter storage, I advise you to use sunscreen. And loads of it. Yesterday, I sort of forgot I hadn’t been out in the sun [...]
