PRABAL GURUNG RELEASES SPRING 2012 DIGITAL CAMPAIGN IMAGES

2012-01-31T11:38:00.001-05:00

This season draws from Nobuyashi Araki’s photographic series, “Sensual Flowers.” These flowers are beautifully subversive, layered, and at further glance are very representative of Araki’s work – nuanced with a feminist twist and perverse undertone. The pieces are beautifully crafted with quiet strength and femininity expressed through Gurung’s signature attention to form, structure and detail.

Bushy Brows Are Back and at the Golden Globes

2012-01-24T17:30:00.001-05:00

The prep for awards shows this season does not just include hair and make-up, this year it is also all about the brows!
Eyebrows really do determine the personality of your look. Whether it be natural beauty, old Hollywood glamour or uber modern and clean, the brows are where it starts!
The Golden Globes kicked off award season in Hollywood and also showcased the upcoming trends for Spring 2012. As the newest beauty trends begin to pop up at the upcoming Independent Spirit Awards, SAG Awards, Academy Awards and anywhere there is a red carpet, brows are making a big play on the faces of the famous!

Brows are thicker than ever, and the faster you embrace the trend the better prepared you are for Spring. The look is boyish brows that give a natural look to beautiful makeup.
Reema Khan of s.h.a.p.e.s Brow Bar (www.shapesbrowbar.com), offers tips and tools for achieving the this new 2012 brow. Allowing your hair to grow out will help easily create the perfect shape. Controlling the amount of hair you trim or pluck will help achieve a more natural look with the shape of your face. And be sure to avoid a drastic arch and brows that are too short.

Top Ten Beauty Resolutions for 2012

2011-12-27T15:28:00.002-05:00

Bond Over Beauty with Erika Katz’s Top Ten Beauty Resolutions for 2012

Beauty Resolution#10: Take better care of your teeth! Sip coffee and tea with a straw to avoid stains, floss after meals, and brush with whitening toothpaste.
Beauty Resolution#9: Use an earpiece when talking on your cell phone to avoid rashes and red bumps on your chin.
Beauty Resolution #8: Let brows grow in and splurge on professional threading or tweezing to get brows into tip top shape.
Beauty Resolution#7: Moisturize dry cuticles, removed chipped polish, and keep all nails one length.
Beauty Resolution#6: Throw out old crusty mascaras and liquid liners. Mascara only has a shelf life of 3 months, while liquid liner can last up to 6 months.
Beauty Resolution#5: Clean all makeup brushes with baby shampoo or alcohol, and sharpen pencils. Also, clean makeup case to keep everything neat and clean!
Beauty Resolution#4: Get more sleep to reduce puffiness and red eyes. Adults should get anywhere from 7-9 hours of sleep a night.
Beauty Resolution#3: Drink more water! The average adult woman should drink at least 9 cups of water a day. How many cups have you had today?
Beauty Resolution#2: Remove all makeup and mascara before bed each night. Sleeping with your makeup on can dry out your skin, clog your pores (which leads to break outs) and can lead to premature aging.
Beauty Resolution#1: Moisturize your whole body after showers and baths with baby oil or cream. By moisturizing after a shower, your skin traps more surface moisture than if you were to apply it to totally dry skin.

3. Release the mo-hawk section of the hair and lightly blast with a blow dryer to find a part and smooth out any kinks
4. Lightly shake out the top section of the hair to let face-framing fringe fall, then separate the remaining hair into two sections on both sides of the head
5. One at a time, wrap the sections around the pony pin one at a time and secure with hair pins to hide the elastic and give shape to the head
6. Smooth fly-aways and set the look with a light mist of Wella Professionals Stay Essential Finishing Spray
7. Add red-carpet worthy shine with Wella Professionals Shimmer Delight Shine Spray

*Shiny Hair Secret: Nicole takes excellent care of her hair with a great conditioning regimen. Boost your hair’s shine with a deep conditioner such as Wella Professionals Enrich Treatment to get instantly softer, shinier strands.

Chanel, a Fire Hazard?

2011-08-03T09:49:00.003-04:00

Have you splurged on Chanel lately? If so, you could be at risk. Last week, 120 scarves and 34 garment styles were recalled, as they are a fire hazard to consumers!! The garments were apparently made of 100% silk and were sold in March & April of last year. The Commission's alert notes that if you have one of these pieces "immediately stop using the garments and contact the firm to receive a full refund."

Coco Chanel: An Intimate Life

2011-08-01T11:42:00.002-04:00

Coco Chanel is perhaps one of the biggest names in fashion, but this November her loyal fans will know her as more than the creator of one of fashion's most coveted brands, as they get a look into her personal life with the biography, Coco Chanel: An Intimate Life. Although biographies have been released in the past indicating the designer's dramatic life, this one is said to be a departure from previous renditions as it uses concrete evidence to prove Ms. Chanel's risky lifestyle.

Louboutin Eco-Trash Pumps

2011-07-29T09:47:00.004-04:00

These days recycling is almost as fashionable as a one of a kind, vintage Chanel Couture gown, but Christian Louboutin has taken the term "eco-friendly" to a whole new level. The shoe designer, famous for his red soled pumps, has made a collage of thread, postage stamps, sequins, scribbled notes, and fabric swatches from past seasons to make these Eco-Trash peep toe pumps. While we admire his innovative vision, and his respect for the environment, we can't help but wonder is one man's trash really worth the $1,000 price tag?

15 Ways to Save on Airfare, Despite Recent "Hidden" Price Hike

2011-07-28T16:13:00.000-04:00

The Federal Aviation Administration stopped collecting taxes Friday due to a partial shutdown, so logic dictates that should mean a reduction in airfare considering those taxes make up nearly 20% of flight cost. Not so fast, my friend. U.S. carriers leaped on the opportunity created by lawmakers' failure to extend the agency's operating authority. By Monday, most U.S. airlines raised their fees to cover the difference, with the possible exceptions of Alaska, Spirit and Hawaiian airlines. Virgin originally bragged it wouldn't take advantage of the tax holiday, but joined the opportunistic crowd by Monday. Frontier Airlines followed suit.

So what's a traveler to do? Here are 15 ways consumers can reduce airfare costs and avoid those pesky added fees:

1. Shop Consolidators: OneTravel.com and Hotwire.com are just two websites that consolidate the lowest fares available. But check the terms carefully as there might be some semi-hidden restrictions.

2. Book Mid-week: Airfare prices are at their lowest in the middle of the week, according to FareCompare.com who claims Tuesday afternoon offers the best value and selection of low cost flights.

3. Weekend Layovers: Business travelers know it's actually cheaper to extend their visit over a weekend to save on airfare. That's because many plane tickets are sold for weekday round trips.

4. Compare Baggage Fees: Don't forget to account for checked bag fees when comparing flight prices among different carriers, especially if you are planning to fly with multiple bags that can't be carried on. For instance, Southwest allows two checked bags for free per customer, while Jetblue allows one. Other airlines charge $15 to $30 for the first checked bag and an incremental increase for each additional bag. Some airlines may offer a discount to those who pay for their checked bags online in advance. Find out what the airline charges before you book and take the additional cost into consideration when pricing out the best offer.

5. Travel Light: Avoid those hefty baggage fees by carrying it all onboard. Remember, it'll cost you big (up to $175 for some airlines) to check bags exceeding 50 pounds. That applies even if you're just one pound over. If you think you're near the limit, weigh your bags at home before you leave.

6. Use Discount Gift Cards: You can buy American Airline discount gift cards and save up to 6 percent. Other airlines, like United and Southwest, also occasionally offer similar discount cards. Be the first to snag one of these popular discount gift cards as soon as they become available by signing up for an alert at GiftCardGranny.com.

7. Bundle Up: Package deals often bundle airfare, accommodations and vehicle rentals at a serious savings. Some, however, aren't all that great a deal, so compare the package price to know how much you'd pay purchasing each service individually.

8. Pass on In-flight Meals: Plan to eat before you head to the airport and pack snacks to munch on mid-air or in case your flight gets delayed. Airport food is nearly as expensive as inflight meals and you can save some cash by simply bringing your own.

9. Don't Pay For In-flight Perks: Before you fly, download a movie from Netflixand bring your laptop plus headphones to avoid in-flight entertainment costs. An inflatable pillow and a wafer-thin blanket will help you sleep on long flights and can be stashed in your carry on to avoid the added expense of renting a much-used version from the flight attendant every time you fly.

10. Switch Airports: Compare Denver International Airport flight costs to Colorado Springs, Colo., or consider switching from JFK to Newark, N.J. You'll need to factor in the cost of a car rental or other mode of transportation to reach your original destination, but you might be surprised at the total difference in price. Plus, the crowds will be much smaller and parking easier.

11. Avoid Change Fees: Booking through a third party site, like Travelocity, will cost you double, should you need to change your flight. Not only does the airline charge you anywhere from $75 to $150 to change a domestic reservation, but the third-party site tacks on their own fee to this change as well -- roughly $50 to $100. Southwest is the only airline that doesn't charge domestic ticket holders for changing their itinerary. Paying more for a flight sometimes gives you the option to change flight dates, should something come up. It's best, however, to solidify your plans before booking to avoid change fees all together.

12. Get Airline Credit: You can receive airline credit for flights that drop in price after you book. Yapta will help you track your flight so you know if the same itinerary you booked is reduced. MasterCard launched the PriceAssure program to help cardholders track the flights and net airline credits.

13. Skip the Extra Leg Room: Many airlines now charge for seats that offer more leg room. Dare to stretch out and, for some airlines, you're looking at an additional fee of up to $30 for each "leg" of your trip.

14. Know Your Award Travel Requirements: Some airlines charge if frequent fliers try to book award travel within 21 days of flight (considered a "rush" booking). Still others charge to renew expired mileage points. Examine the small print before you begin the process. Check out Smarter Travel's complete guide to frequent-flier fees.

15. Book Online: Some airlines now actually charge a fee for booking in person or by phone, somewhat like banks now charge you for the privilege of talking to a teller. You could even get charged extra for paper tickets. Make sure you read the fine print and stick to the internet when finalizing flight plans.

Vogue Italia has named Rihanna "Woman of the Year," stating that Rihanna was the "undisputed best contender to the role of queen of pop....her career has always been based on the cunning use of sexiness and provocation."

2011-07-14T09:03:00.000-04:00

Five Designers Shortlisted for the

2011 Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize

(New York) - The five designers shortlisted for the 2011 Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize are:

Name: Anndra Neen

Website: www.anndraneen.com

Name: Giulietta

Website: www.giulietta-newyork.com

Name: Julian Louie

Website: http://julianlouie.com

Name: Setareh Mohtarez

Website: www.setarehmohtarez.com

Name: Siki Im

After two hours of intense deliberation, the judging panel selected the shortlist from a group of 77 designers who applied for the Prize.

The Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize made its debut in North America this year and was open to designers of ready-to-wear and accessories who are based there. Applicants must have operated their brand for two years and consistently produced commercial collections.

Ultimately, at the Grand Final of the Prize in Fall 2011, one designer from the shortlist will receive USD $40,000 plus the opportunity to display their collection during Paris Fashion Week in 2012 at Hôtel Plaza Athénée. Located in the heart of the Paris Haute Couture District, Hôtel Plaza Athénée is one of two Dorchester Collection hotels in the French capital. Considered one of the world's most beautiful hotels, it is also steeped in fashion history. Christian Dior established his couture house nearby and considered it his "second home."

"The support of Dorchester Collection is vital to fashion. Judging the Prize was a genuine experience. It will bring new talent to another level. The five designers who have qualified for the shortlist will gain from it and so will all of the applicants because of the exposure," said Francisco Costa, women's creative director of Calvin Klein Collection and one of the judges for the 2011 Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize.

The judging panel of the 2011 Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize includes Giovanna Battaglia, internationally acclaimed fashion editor; Derek Blasberg, editor and best-selling author; Thom Browne, award-winning menswear designer; Georgina Chapman andKeren Craig, co-founders of Marchesa; Francisco Costa, women's creative director of Calvin Klein Collection; Shala Monroque, fashion and art consultant; Lauren Santo Domingo, Moda Operandi co-founder and creative director; and Elizabeth Saltzman,Vanity Fair contributing editor.

"It is a great honor for the five designers to be shortlisted for the Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize because they were selected by an incomparable panel of fashion industry professionals who are leaders in their chosen fields," explains Bronwyn Cosgrave. As chairperson of the Prize, Cosgrave moderated the shortlist session. "The winner of the Prize will receive a substantial brand-building endowment and the rare opportunity to display their work to the international buyers and editors who flock to Hôtel Plaza Athénée during Paris fashion week. They will also emerge with something priceless - namely, the confidence imbued by the recognition they have gained from our expert judges."
