Beauty bastion MAC Cosmetics recently debuted a new line called Style Warrior, a bronzing collection dominated by golds, browns, and pops of color:
Featuring products like Refined Golden Bronzing Powder, Deep Dark Skinsheen, Golden Bronze Iridescent Loose Powder, and Lustre Drops, the collection seems perfect for dark skinned beauties looking for highlights to make their skin pop in the summer sun! Take a look:
I absolutely *love* the eyeshadow colors…and the packaging is fierce! And hey, maybe I can go for a yellow lipglass for the hot summer months?
Swedish photog Therese Aldgård and prop stylist Lisa Edsälv decided to bake and photograph cupcakes in designer style. Apparently it took them three days to fashion these yummy creations inspired by Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Betsey Johnson, Agent Provocateur, and Christian Louboutin:
We all saw Sheree with her Louis Vuitton cake, but for some reason this idea seems a tad more classy. Don’t you think?
Beyonce continues to show her allegiance to Balmain, wearing a white cream military style jacket from the line for a London outing with hubby Jay-Z:
While I like Beyonce’s other more Michael Jackson-esque Military Jacket, this ones seems more versatile. And it’s a bit cheaper at $3,564!
If you still can’t swing it, get Beyonce’s look for less with these items:
So this weekend, I hit up a party for a French rapper called Disiz:
It was at a cool club called Gibus (www.gibus.fr) by Place de la Republique. I didn’t have my camera with me (shame!), but did get a few friends to snap some Real Style. Check it:
Kanye West’s presence is felt even overseas…
These girls were so sweet! I liked young lady on the left’s jumper and hair, and the exotic print skirt on the right.
I spied lots of oversized t-shirts, but appreciate this guy’s nod to Vogue!
Can’t go wrong with sunglasses inside and a cute swept up do…
And guys seem to love logo t’s and baseball hats…even if they’re not from the States!
Lastly, these girls represented in sunglasses and fun t’s. Cute looks for a great night!
Hey y’all,
It’s Memorial Day weekend so the fashionable are in far-flung exotic locales, from Antibes to Atlantic City. Although no one seems to have taken a vacation from fashion, the pickings for Hot or Hmm are a bit slim since everyone seems to be kicking back and enjoying the first unofficial weekend of summer. Let’s take a look at who did come out, shall we?
Zoe Saldana continued her quest to dominate the global red carpet in Antibes at the amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala, where the Bomb fave donned a complicated, nude colored frock with black and gold, high-heeled sandals. Her simple accessories and hairstyle throw her dramatic features into stark relief, and while it’s hard for the stunning Zoe to look all the way bad, the voluminous drape of fabric on the left side of the dress seems to swallow the effect of the outfit instead of making a statement, Hmm…
Also at the amfAR gala, Kerry Washington sported a close-fitting, floor-length gown with an intricate deco print in what appears to be silver brocade. Love her gold clutch and loos, romantic waves but something about the cut of this dress is a little staid and dowdy, even though I love the print. I’d really like to see Kerry take more fashion risks, Hmm…
The weekend wouldn’t be complete without a Kim Kardashian sighting, this time visiting of The Pool club at Harrah’s. The silhouette of this dress makes Kim appear a bit fuller than what she really is, and even though I think the fabric is interesting and love her chunky bangles, it’s a tad awkward, Hmm…
Finally, fashion editrix extraordinaire Carine Roitfeld had a rare Hmm moment at the Dolce & Gabbana dinner for the Cannes Film Festival. Her asymmetrical, one-shoulder wrap, hot pants, sheer hose, and gladiator heels might each work separately but, together, not so much.
Thoughts?
