INTO THE BLUE

Ralph Lauren can never disspoint me. I am loving the Purple Label's 2010 Spring collection. RL was inspired by the uniforms of a true American worker from farmers to cowboys. His line consists of overalls, faded blue denium (shirts and jeans),  soft floral dresses (think little house on the prarie), and newsboy caps . RL wants to bring back American purity, when life was much more simple. This line is amazing and very touching. Here are some of my favorite pieces from the latest collection:

SPRING FACE: Beauty Lesson from Liz Marz

Liz Marz, the head makeup artist at Arrojo Salon (west village, ny) gave me some great tips on the makeup for this spring. Liz is a very talented makeup artist, her feelings are less is more and enhance your true beauty with the right colors. Here is what I learned from her:

SPRING FACE

Soft Skin with a statement lip

SKIN- To create the flawless porcelain-like complexion, I like to use Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation. It gives a dewy finish as opposed to a matte look. (Sold at Sephora)

CHEEKS- Corals are gonna be hot for spring so to create a nice coral flush. I suggest Les Tissesges de Chanel Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Corail brushed all over cheeks started from the apple of the cheek and up the cheek bone toward the temple..(Sold at Saks fifth Avenue).    

EYES - Keep the eyes pretty, yet simple. Create a bright eye using a Nars's Camargue Duo Cream Eyeshadow. This shadow creates a sun kissed look because of the cream consistency. To apply brush the gold on lid and smooth brown over crease to create depth to the eye. Line the eye with some black or dark brown liner, i suggest liner by Blinc because its long lasting and effortless to remove. Lastly, throw on some mascara (I'm a huge fan of maybeline great lash mascara). (Nars sold at Saks Fifth Avenue or Sephora).

LIPS- Make a statement with your lips this spring. The hot color for this spring/summer is going to be orange. Think tangerine, orange sherbet, coral, gold-orange, peach, and blood-orange. Check out juicy melon lip gloss by Giella ( Sold at Arrojo Salon).

OBESSION DU JOUR: REBECCA MINKOFF SPRING 2010

Tonight I went to a blogger event at Henri Bendel for Rebecca Minkoff's latest accessory collection.  I must say that she has done it again, her handbag line is awesome as always, as well as her leather bracelets with grommets, and her little change purses labeled "can't buy me love" and the "Benjamins." For this spring Rebecca used salmon, netural, navy and jewel tone colors. I truly love each style from mailbags with thick gold chains to shoulder bags with exposing zippers, grommets, and tassles. Rebecca Minkoff handbags are the everyday stylish bag that every fashionista needs to carry.

OBSESSION DU JOUR: HERO CRANE

I finally found my "go to" t-shirt by Hero Crane. "Hero Crane is the organic incarnation of Los Angeles based clothing designers Josh and He Yang. The line is inspired by the textures and imperfections found in nature and filtered through a multicultural urban perspective. Each garment is individually handcrafted, reflecting the designers’ free spirit and the ever-changing story of Hero Crane." The collection is awesome, I love the contrast between the cotton and knit. Hero Crane has become a celeb favorite, Lindsay Lohan is always seen wearing one of their creations

If you find yourself standing infront your closet wondering what to wear all the time, you will not have problem when you have Hero Crane. Throw a Hero Crane shirt on with anything, you can dress it up or wear casually. And for the summer wear it over a bathing suit.

You can purchase Hero Crane at Shop.com, Saks Fifth Avenue, Singer22
