Paris Vogue goes Bohemian for Nov 2010

November issues of magazines are my September Issues. Why? Becuase November is my B-day month! I've had this thing ever since I was a young beauty-ista mixing my cream Noxema with my mom's Maybelline Shades of You foundation, I went out and bought almost all us publications of fashion mags on my birth month.

Paris Vogue for the month of November channels a spring time bohemian vibe for fall with Natasha Poly's striking blue eyeshadow and voluminious pig-tails.

Can't wait to see the Beauty thats inside the issue. Speaking of issues, I need to post fave pics from Paris Vogue's October 90th anniversary issue.

Where has time gone?

RIP Naomi Simms

One of the first successful black models in the 60's, Naomi Simms died of cancer over the weekend at 61.

I was first introduced to her by my mother who told me that she was her own agent, later in Suede Magazine, I read a piece where she was a Renaissance Woman of the day- booking her castings, doing her own makeup and the like.

Pre-Campbell, Tyra, Iman and Pat was the Naomi.

If you haven't got your issue, call your magazine source or Barnes and Noble.

I know here in NYC they are still selling them, ask to ship. Don't pay those crazy Ebay prices.

Now off to MAC for their Cult of Cherry unveiling... more posting later!

Dior Resort 2009- Review

I see punchy, pool lounge colors that remind me of pin curls and pink flamingos.
Definately campish, but brazen with the essence of "viva la woman".

I can't wait to try out the winged eye and arched eyebrow. The gloss that looks comparable to the ones featured would be YSL's Golden Gloss in Fuschia (#9).

While the clothes are adorable, they definately take a back seat to the look Pat Mcgrath achieved here. Especially on the lovely women of color who walked the show, Jordan Dunn, Chanel Iman, Alek Wek and last week new commer (in the literal sense and absolutely amazing) Arlenis Pena.

Thank you Galliano for featuring beauties that are in a collection that embodies classic americana where as most designers would think that this would be far fetched.

The Return of the Supermodels!

Yesterday, John Galliano kicked off Fall 2007 60th anniversary Dior show in Versaille. Me being a fan of couture and all couldn't help but check out Style.com's coverage of the event and was pleasantly surprised to see Linda, Stella, Naomi, Amber and Shalom featureed on the runway along with the like of Lily, Morgane, Bruna and Irina. Even more surprising- seeing Maria Carla back on the runway too!
I wonder if the Makeup was done by Pat McGrath this time.. its something I will keep note of especially for the Fall season (Birthday, partied and Halloween)

Estee Lauder's New Face! Hilary Rhoda

Congratulations Hilary for being the new face of Estee Lauder!
She's a newbie..seriously. I think she has been around for a good 2 seasons. She's all over European mags and now she's got a contract! That's fast.
You'll start seeing her campaigns in August
