You know all of those braids that you have been seeing on the red carpet lately? Well you can thank Donna Karan and her spring/summer 2015 runway show for that. To be fair she was not the only one using braids (her rope braids were just giving me and everyone else in the beauty world life after their big debut) for S/S fashion week, they were actually all over the runways. Whether you like it or not Miranda Priestly was right in Devil Wears Prada, what designers choose on the runway dictates what the trends will be and ultimately dictates what you will be buying come spring. You may have noticed that all of the ‘it’ girls in fashion are becoming increasingly obsessed with the concept of Parisian style. A book called How to be Parisian Wherever You Are: Love, Style and Bad Habits has been circulating all over instagram as the new style book to read. After what we saw on the Spring/Summer 2015 runways last fall it is clear that we will be picking up not only Parisian style but Parisian beauty as well. Enter the ‘No Makeup, Makeup’ beauty look that you will be dying for come April. Fun Fact: Marc Jacobs shocked all with this trend for his SRTW 2015 show. Francois Nars is actually best pals with Marc Jacobs and Mars Jacobs shows are the only shows that Francois will personally do makeup for. Makeup rules for that show were easy: moisturizer only, no complexion products (luckily the fashion models in that show all had excellent skin). Other trends for spring are bright, natural lips and a new take on the contour that we have all come to know and love via the Kardashian family. Who do I turn to when I am trying to explore the newest trend of the season you ask? My very good friend and makeup artist for NARS, Danielle Braeuer of course. Danielle and I spent hours going through all of the trends and I am here to bring you how-to’s so that you can give the fashion it-girls a run for their money come spring. Stay tuned for the next three Saturdays to get an exclusive look on the beauty trends for Spring and how to make it happen on your very own face.

Just incase you have been cut off from civilization for a few weeks, you should know that Adidas is getting so hot right now. Adidas was born in Germany and gained popularity from footballers as well as runners in the Olympics. It did not really blow up in American pop culture until Run DMC began wearing brand head to toe (literally). The brand began to lose momentum in the early 90’s when the hip-hop culture turned to Jordans as their shoe of choice (looking at you, Michael). As of late, Adidas has made some very big moves and made some very big famous friends such as Pharrell, who sported a full Adidas look on the Grammy Awards Red Carpet last week, and David Beckham who is just a total B-A-B-E. As we have seen over and over again, once you get the right celebrities on your side, you have the power to bring your brand back from the dead (unless you are myspace… Sorry JT… nobody is ever going back there). The person I am really trying to get to is Adidas’s latest endorser, everybody’s favorite ‘fashionisto’ (if you will), Kanye West. That’s right people, Kanye West has partnered with the brand to create the Adidas Yeezy Boost. Kanye held a private fashion show to reveal his masterpiece this past Thursday. Attendees of the show were a collection of Kanye’s closest friends such as Anna Wintour (I repeat, ANNA WINTOUR), Beyonce, Jay-Z, North and a good portion of the Kardashian clan. Also, because Kanye never does anything half way (especially not insults), he released a new song to top off this epic shoe release. Side note: guess who is front and center in a portion of the show... our very own lip game princess, Kylie Jenner. See if you can spot her: To be honest I was for the most part, uninterested in Kanye’s newest endeavor – until I saw them on Kylie Jenner’s feet. I am unaware of the exact moment I knew I would die for a pair of these shoes, however I am now fully aware not only of these shoes, but that I would move water and earth to get my hands on a pair of these babies. Call me dramatic, I don’t care. When I am strutting around town with Yeezys on my feet, the joke is going to be on you my friend. This morning 9,000 pairs of Yeezy Boosts were released for sale to the general public at a retail price of $350. If you share my intense need to land a pair of these shoes, Gods Speed. If you don't, I refuse to be seen with you in public ever again.

P.S. Kanye, I really was not kidding in that instagram….. P.P.S. Shout out to my boyfriend for Valentines day. Even though you didn't surprise me with Yeezy Boosts, I love you more than life. |
