Sheer love
Spider Lashes
I don't normally wear a lot of makeup but I do fall victim to applying a few good coats of mascara on. In my opinion, mascara and a little bit of blush is really all you need for a fresh and natural look. One of the biggest beauty trends for this fall is called the spider lash look; thick, long, clumpy lashes that resemble the legs of a spider. Designers like Lanvin, Miu Miu, and Valentino all used this look in their Fall 2011 shows. Learn how to do this trend by watching the video below!

MONIQUE LHUILLIER FALL 2011 RTW
Let me just say that I am all about this collection: simple, sultry, and very feminine. The minimal color palette of blacks, golds, and hints of red gave such a dramatic effect to each piece; along with the multiple uses of different textures.
Cheetah print, chiffon, silk, wool, Chantilly lace, and ostrich feathers were used to create an edgy flavor to sophisticated cocktail dresses and sharp pencil skirts accompanied with cropped jackets. It was almost like a dark twist on women's fashion in 1950's. And the gowns toward the end? Perfection.

Street Style love. REBECCA MINKOFF'S FALL 2011 RTW show was another one of my favorites. Not to mention, Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp kicked it off with a live performance beforehand.
Burnout velvet, slouchy sweaters, drainpipe pants with snakeskin patches on the knees (obsessed), and a metallic twill bomber with leather sleeves and fox fur were just a few pieces that added a toughness to the entirety of the collection. I am a huge fan of blazers so when I saw the number of blazers with contrasting lining, I melted. The accessories were a great completion, with a mini quilted chain-handle bag and textured clutches of different colors.
To summarize: both of these collections are heaven on earth
