Lily Allen: She’s Making The Spotlight!

Lily Allen is one of those models that I love and hate at the same time – while she is one of the prettiest models I think in the world, she is one of those models that I think loves the spotlight too much.

She is now making her own jewelry and she is looking to truly get her face in the spotlight every single chance that she can get – take this Chanel photo shoot for instance. Now, this particular photo shoot was designed by Karl Lagerfeld and this is actually the new ad for the latest purses by Chanel.

Lily Allen looks to be portraying the late Holly Go-lightly and while I love Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I think that Lily Allen is not doing the greatest job here channeling her own Hepburn. The bags look fantastic though and that is the point right?

Oh My Goth, Not Again!

Rodarte. Givenchy. Yves Saint Laurent. Tao. Chanel. John Galliano. What do these designers have in common? That their labels are truly designer, the essence of couture. That they are innovative, unique, and unfailingly edge. That they never fail to think outside the box of haute couture fashion.

All of those things are true. It is also true that they are each incorporating a dark, decadent gothic trend into their collections for this season.

Some of them — such as Rodarte, seen here — are going for a more industrial feel, hence the leather, the chains. This is Deconstructed Goth, full of fishnet and ripped clothing. Givenchy’s look is a bit like that, but not to the extreme seen in Rodarte. The others, most notably Galliano, Chanel, and Tao — are going for a much more romantic feel. It is a decadent, antiquated goth, a bit Victorian in nature.

I never would have thought it possible, that I’d enjoy seeing this trend again, but done up the couture way, it is quite literally breathtaking.

I have a new favorite mascara…

… and it’s a CHANEL!

The Chanel Inimitable Mascara Multidimensionnel is a very luxurious and high-end mascara that might retail at a little too much with its +/-$30 price tag for a single unit but I couldn’t care less… It’s quite awesome that aesthetic make-up blog also caught up on this mascara and promoting it on their blog. PROPS!
