Cater to Your Hair Type Knowing your hair type, beyond straight or curly to where it rates on the curl scale, and whether it’s fine or thick (which doesn’t relate to density but the diameter of the hair shaft), will also help you choose the right products, tools, and methods for styling. I mentioned in…

Ulta 21 Days of Beauty 2019 Must Haves List and let down.
This is my list of must haves for Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty 2019…which was a let down on day 1…because you have to be a Platinum or Diamond Member! 🤬 Yeah…I was planning on buying the Tutti Frutti Glitter Eyeshadow, Benefit Porefessional, and Becca foundation today and wasted time shopping when the main incentive…
Rick Owens Fall 2019
Rick Owens Fall 2019 featured SFX Runway Makeup, beautiful silhouettes and lines accentuating the shoulders, and had a unique take on making use of different planes of the body in this Utilitarian craze we’re seeing this season. What with his publicity stunts in the past, it was easy to overlook his genius, and I’m glad…
Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2019
Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2019 combined menswear and tailoring, pushing the envelope with the construction- the overlaid contrast lapel, for example, was so uniquely original. Red silky satin brocade, black pinstripe and solid black suiting with contrast silk satin sleeves, and white shirting. I love the proportions: the length of the vests, the sleeve cuffs, the…
Manish Arora Fall 2019
Manish Arora’s Fall 2019 collection really would benefit from editing because some of the garments and accessories are really cool but may be overlooked within the hoard of design splayed onto the runway: it’s an overdose of color, print, texture and fabric selection. The object bags are amazing- tea pots, sharks and fish, vehicles… The…
Courréges Fall 2019 Runway Beauty
CourrĂ©ges Fall 2019’s show was stolen by the Runway Beauty with top lashes used as bottom lashes, red and orange shadow contrasting blue on the lower lash-line and visa versa, a peachy orange soft smokey eye, exadderated yet soft white brow-bone contour, extra lashes under the eyes entirely, and use of unusual materials for lashes. …
Saint Laurent Fall 2019
Can we all just be bio-luminescent in Saint Laurent Fall 2019 and live our best lives? I NEED every freaking piece of menswear! Who cares if Saint Laurent is marching to the beat of its own drum, still on that same aesthetic from like four seasons ago? (…I said Four Seasons). There was a multitude…
Anrealage Fall 2019
Anrealage Fall 2019 was like a PSA for garment care instructions, only it seems the models have shrunken in the dryer- not the clothes. We haven’t seen proportions like this since LFW years ago, although this collection takes it to a whole new level with avant-garde takes on oversized jackets, lapels, and buttons; giant patch…
Dior Fall 2019
I loved Dior’s Fall 2019 collection’s embellished skirts, many on tulle with butterfly motifs made of feathers, sequins, and print overlaid with sheer black wave textured fabric. The black and white ink print dress and contrast dot and gingham skirt were also charming. I felt as if the gingham flannel jackets, hats, coats and skirts-…
Vivetta Fall 2019
Jeepers Kreepers…why’d they cut out peepers? Jeepers kreepers…hats just don’t need eyes. Vivetta presented questionable, plagiarized, and brilliantly conceived and executed designs for Fall 2019. While I hate the peephole hats and poor copy of Jeremy Scott’s teddy bear designs, I found the embellished florals with Lilly of the Valley appliquĂ© absolutely remarkable.
