Ohne Titel - white peach shadow, bright coral lips and a softly defined brow, one of my favorite looks so far and splendid with a camel coat or trench. I can't wait til spring, I think it's gonna have to happen for fall for me!

FUR Part II

Michael Kors Fall 2010 - Okay, ya gotta be kinda skinny to pull off this look or you end up looking like a yeti...still I like it.

Elie Tahari Fall 2010 - Fur set off by mustard blouse and a fantastic oversized clutch

Marc Jacobs Fall 2010 - Russian doll almost, but in a calmer palette - notice the mustard in the background, I see a color trend in the works...

Elise Overland Fall 2010 - Stunning movement on the shoulders

Isabel Marant Fall 2010 - Shimmer earrings, shimmer blouse, and fur that, well, shimmers. Yet it looks casual. How does Isabel do it?

FOTD - Face of the Day

FOTD (Face of the Day)

Eyes: Mac e/s in 'Embark' as liner
Lashes: Max Factor 2000 Calorie in 'Rich Black'
Lips: 'Tango' lipliner by Prestige Professional
'Nude Lustre' l/g by Revlon on top

I was so excited to try out my new lipliner. It's bright pinky red, falling on the side of fuchsia. I'm crazy about it. I purchased it because I was inspired by the magenta lips at the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 show.

Fashion Week Looks Spring 2010

Ralph Lauren Spring 2010, vests are coming back! I am so happy!!!
I love this suit from Donna Karan. The fringe hem, the casual belt, the non-color.......

I always favor tangerine in the spring. Luca Luca Spring 2010. So pretty.....scalloped waistline, printed top, and slightly disheveled hair. I love volume.
This top reminds me of a skyscraper, or an old lighting sconce.
Behnaz Sarafpour Spring 2010.
Black is half of my wardrobe, so this dress paired with tweedish trouser leggings takes basic black somewhere new! From one of my favorite new (to me!) collections, A Detacher Spring 2010.

Tracy Reese Spring 2010. These kind of pockets are great for girls like me who fidget! And the shoes and hair give it a little bit of ballerina chic.

Vivienne Tam Spring 2010. I love what she does with color. The strong eyes are something I might want to try as well. What do you guys think?

Fashion Week is over, but I'm still sifting through tons of images! More posts to come. And a special feature on makeup and hair looks from last week..........magenta lips at Marc Jacobs, wavy ponytails at Christian Siriano.........
