NARS Backstage At Rodarte Spring 2012

NARS Backstage At Rodarte Spring 2012

For the Rodarte Spring 2012 runway show, NARS makeup artist James Kaliardos created a gorgeous smokey eye. He wanted to combine the upcoming trends of navy blue, a great smokey eye, and lavendar lips. In his words, “It’s a really beautiful, round, smoky eye with gradations of blue. It’s like ‘Starry Night’ and then there’s this beautiful lavender lip, complemented by warm skin.”

To create the look, James Kaliardos used the following NARS products :

Face :

  • Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer – new for Spring 2012; for a similar affect try a light application of Sheer Glow Foundation
  • Penny Lane Cream Blush

Who hasn’t yet fallen victim to the trend of layered bracelets? I know that I sure have! Another trend that I’m currently loving are all the menswear inspired watches. In fact, the other night at Fashion Night Out San Francisco, I made Michelle snap pics of the cute watches in Marc Jacobs.

These watches are substantial enough to be a great accessory on their own. Yet, they look even better when layered with bangles and bracelets of all kinds.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs Blade Watch and the Michael Kors Chronograph Watch are great splurges for this trend. If you’re on a budget like I am, then the Urban Outfitters Friendship Bracelet Watch and the Go Jane Metallic Wrist Watch are good options.

Fashion Inspiration – September Week 2

Fashion Inspiration – September Week 2

Having 90% of my clothing, shoes, and accessories boxed up is making me so antsy when it comes to my own style right now. I felt so incredibly drab when I went out to Fashion Night Out San Francisco with Michelle. Especially after seeing how cute everyone looked! I’m so anxious to try new things and get some life back into my style!

Fashion Inspiration – September Week 2

I love how the sequins dress up this otherwise conservative look. My inner prep will always love khaki.

Stripes, a cardigan and bold nails are always a winning combination in my eyes.
