Trend Report: Curves Are Back!

Fashion | 16 August 2010

Va Va Voom! Watch out for some hot curves ahead this fall!
 
I was so delighted to see a full-figured, womanly silhouette back on the runway.
 
I suspect actress Christina Hendricks’s Joan Holloway on Mad Men responsible for the revival (left). I mean, who doesn’t find her “all woman” curves absolutely gorgeous? 
 
Even if the fall runway trend wasn’t solely inspired by Joanie herself, collections from both Louis Vuitton and Prada definitely drew from retro, 50′s and 60′s-style looks.
 
Corseted tops and cinched waists from Louis Vuitton put breasts and hips in much deserved spotlight.
 
 
The same goes for Prada, whose belted waists and tall beehives would make any gal fit to strut classic Madison Avenue.

What do you think of this full-figured trend?

Have a Very Vintage Fall

Fashion | 03 August 2010

Keeping warm when the days get chilly doesn’t mean skipping out on cute style. With the right pair of mittens, that perfect scarf, a chic little hat and a gorgeous coat, you’ll be toasty warm and perfectly trendy, no baggy, hooded sweatshirts required. 

I don’t know if it’s because the new season of Mad Men just started, but I’m really inspired by retro-styles from the 50′s and 60′s for this fall and winter. Here are a few of photos from My Vintage Vogue that really sparked my interest.
 
With flattering, double-breasted coats, cute furry contrasts (or faux fur), and an array of cozy accessories, these gals know how to show up Jack Frost in style!  
 

If you’re inspired by these looks, take a peek at some of my favorite, retro-style coats from Lulu*s! Featured below is the Sherlock Trench Coat, the Fonda Coat, the Lennon Coat, and the gorgeous Quinn Coat

Peggy Olson's Day Off

Fashion | 18 February 2010

by

You may know Elizabeth Moss as the smart and determined, Peggy Olson on the hit series Mad Men. Moss’s character is kept mostly under wraps in Season 1 and most of Season 2, sporting 50′s style high collars, buttoned up cardigans, long wool skirts and an ever present ponytail all while her costars get to don elegant gowns, gorgeous jewelry and polished updos on a daily basis.

Despite all the layers, it’s hard even on the show to hide Moss’s captivating beauty, which is why I was thrilled to see her photo shoot in WWD’s Accessories Issue from Feb 2010. Moss is a classic romantic in these pics with her loose waves and red lips. The styling by Roxanne Robinson-Escriout perfectly combines soft feminine pieces with daring metallics, while the photography of Diego Uchitel really adds a dreamy quality to the whole look.

Red Heads Have More Fun

Beauty | 29 January 2010

Red hair is as rare as it is beautiful. A vibrant color that always catches the eye, it’s as equally breathtaking in its natural shade as in its artificial versions. Christina Hendricks, who plays Joan on the hit series Mad Men is almost single handedly responsible for making me want to dye my dark brunette locks a vibrant shade of red.

A hair color that requires a lot of upkeep, going red and staying red is a quite a commitment. It’s also crucial to capture the right shade of red for your skin tone, whether it be warm-toned and coppery or on the cool side of the spectrum with purple undertones, etc.

Have any of you lovely ladies gone a daring shade of red? If so, any tips for making it last? Also, please share what you love about being a red head!
