    Weekend Hot! or Hmm…: Jennifer Lopez, LaLa Vasquez, Vivica Fox & more!

    by Claire

    Hey Fashion Bombers!
    Vuitton here with a weekend roundup! It’s a holiday here in the Bahamas, so I’m headed to the beach a little later (how many of you are jealous?). But before I go, you know we have to give you guys the rundown of who hit it and who completely missed the mark this weekend. The stars came out for parties and red carpet events, but it’s you who have the final say.

    First up is happy couple Carmelo Anthony and LaLa Vasquez...

    I love Carmelo’s suit and the fact that he didn’t pair khaki with a pastel color. His tan suede shoes are pretty dope as well. La La looks amazing in her bodycon white dress paired with red YSL Trib Too’s. Hot! However, I would’ve liked to see La La wear a nude pump to complement Carmelo more. I guess I’m just that cheesy.

    LaLa’s BFF Kim Kardashian hit up a Svedka Vodka R.U. Bot Or Not party this weekend as well…

    And Kim nails it again. I love how she brought a bit of drama with her strong-shouldered embellished jacket but kept the skirt and Louboutins basic. The perfect balance of how to wear an outfit. Hot Kimmy!

    Regina King attended a birthday party for Diana Lopez this weekend…

    Shoddy backdrop aside, Regina looks hot in this curve hugging number and cute ankle strap peep-toe shoes. She kept is simple, which I like, because it wasn’t her birthday being celebrated. But she’s still making us take notice.

    Vivica Fox also came through…

    Now this is a more sophisticated look for Vivica that I put my stamp of approval on. We usually see her in tight, thigh-skimming dresses that may not be *ahem* age-appropriate, but this is definitely a look that seems comfortable for her. I’m digging the white blazer, black leggings, and statement necklace. But “Arr Matey”…is that a parrot on her shoulder? Hmm… I trust she didn’t arrive there with it on her shoulder.

    And performing for the birthday celebrations, Bobby Valentino…

    …and his frosted tips. I love the outfit, but I don’t love the outfit on him. It screams, “Look at me! I’m wearing Gucci from shoulder to toe!” in an obnoxious tone. And it looks like he’s drowning in those clothes. Because he’s not as vertically apt, he should find clothes that will elongate his physique. Hmm…hopefully this was just an off day. And hopefully, beauty correspondent, Danielle can recommend a suitable hair-dye for him.

    Over at the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS 2010 red carpet gala in France, Jennifer Lopez sidled down the carpet…

    Needless to say, my heart literally stopped, and I tried to gasp for air. She looks absolutely stunning in this frothy Roberto Cavalli gown. The nude hue compliments her skin tone so effortlessly, and she kept the bling to somewhat of a minimum letting this piece of heaven we call a dress speak for itself. H O T!

    Mary J. Blige was also in attendance…

    Rocking her usual Grecian Goddess silhouette, Mary doesn’t disappoint. She brought a little bit of drama to the wrist since her dress had some sparkle. Hot!

    What say you?

    How to Keep Your Summer Makeup Fresh

    by Danielle


    Summer is only a few weeks away! I’m in Georgia at the moment and though it’s still spring, temperatures have reached into the high 80s/low 90s. This is why I haven’t been here during the warm months since 2004…lol. Sure it gets humid and hot in NYC, but not this hot! Yikes.

    So when the temperatures rise, you’ve got to change your makeup routine if you want your makeup to stay put. Lucky for those of us in super hot and/or humid climates, many of the summer makeup trends feature waterproof makeup. Here are some tips on how to keep your makeup on your face using some of the cool waterproof products:

    1. Face. You may need to switch to oil-free skin care products as the weather gets hot depending on how your skin reacts to heat. Some of my favorites (old and new) include LUSH Coalface Cleanser and Cosmedicine Medi Matte Oil Control Lotion. I can only using them in the summer though otherwise they’ll dry me out.

    More Cosmedicine…
    ShopStyle

    Switch to a lightweight foundation because anything thicker than that will only make you uncomfortable in the summer heat OR skip foundation altogether. I like Make Up For Ever Face and Body Liquid Makeup because it’s lightweight and gives me an even skin tone. If you have a problem with shine, set with a mattifying powder like Make Up For Ever Super Matte Loose Powder. Set your makeup with a makeup setting spray like Urban Decay De Slick Makeup Setting Spray and for touch-ups throughout the day, try MAC Blot Powder–it will keep shine at bay but won’t interfere with your makeup.

    More Make Up For Ever…
    ShopStyle

    2. Eyes. Normally I’d say use an eyeshadow primer under your shadows to keep them on all day, but after seeing the magic of Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream, an ultra-pigmented, long-lasting waterproof eye cream, you seriously only need that one product. Aqua Cream comes in 22 beautiful colors and can be used as an eyeshadow base/primer, an eyeshadow, and some colors can be used as blush and/or lip color. If you love the idea of a primer and a shadow, use an Aqua Cream in a similar color as your shadow to really intensify the color.

    Also try Make Up For Ever Pearly Waterproof Eyeshadow Pencil (a waterproof eyeshadow in pencil form with a pearly finish) and Aqua Eyes (a waterproof eye pencil that comes in 25 colors). I don’t recommend waterproof mascara for everyday use (it can sometimes pull out your lashes), but try Make Up for Ever Aqua Smoky Lash for ocassions where you know your regular mascara won’t last.

    3. Cheeks. Some of the Aqua Creams can be used as blush, but you can also try this trick to get your blush to stay put: apply a creme blush and then apply a powder blush in a similar color on top.

    4. Lips. To get your lip color to last, first apply a base (there’s plenty of lip primers out there, but Chapstick does the trick, too), then fill in your lips with a waterproof lip pencil (try Make Up For Ever Aqua Lip Waterproof Lipliner Pencil) in a shade similar to your lip color. Even if your lip color begins to fade, this base will stay put and gives you some color to hang on to. Apply your favorite lipstick and then a gloss on top for extra staying power.

    Tyra Banks and Andre Leon Talley Pay Tribute to Alexander McQueen

    by Claire

    Tyra Banks, Andre Leon Talley, and a little princess names Gianni recently shot a tribute to the late Alexander McQueen:

    On her site, Tyra says, “When I heard of Alexander McQueen’s passing back in February I was devastated. Not only was he one of my favorite designers, he was someone that I had been lucky enough to meet…”


    “…I knew that I had to pay him tribute in a special way. The last cycle of Top Model was dedicated to him and I decided that I also wanted to do a photo shoot decked out in [head to toe] McQueen. McQueen was considered royalty in the fashion community.”



    “McQueen had a flare for the dramatic and a love for fantasy. I would like to think he would have loved these photos.”
    I love these photos too.
    Little Gianni is super duper cute and Tyra and Andre Leon Talley look regally divine. My favorite picture has to be the one of Andre looking sweetly down at Gianni.

    What do you think?

    See the rest of the pictures here.

    *In other news, apparently Tyra is breaking ties with Seventeen Magazine and joining forces with Italian Vogue. Meaning America’s Next Top Model winner might score a spread in Italian Vogue shot by Steven Klein. Talk about a fashion revolution…stay tuned.
