As soon as I received Kathryn Kerrigan's Josefina booties, I was dying to wear them. I could wait no longer beyond the second day of New York Fashion Week.
Unfortunately, I was so immersed in the fashion Week bubble for weeks beforehand that I had absolutely no idea a hurricane/tropical storm/torrential rainstorm was approaching. After running into a multi-season friend who informed me she was sure to be out of the tents by 2pm that day because she's supposedly seen the roof ripped right off.
While it must have been nice to skip out before the storm hit, some of us *cough* had to stay and work. As the afternoon wore on and the rain came pouring down, everyone's energy began to drain. Offsite sho...

| New York Fashion Week - Cynthia Rowley Spring 2009 Runway Show |
| 2008-09-18 13:43:22 |
Gal pal Kimmie of The Kitten Lounge and I made our way far over to the West Side during New York Fashion Week to catch Cynthia Rowley's Spring 2009 Runway Show. At first we were a bit disappointed because standing (which we were assigned) left us placed behind a very large seating riser reminiscent of high school football games. After waiting about 30 minutes, the crowd broke and rushed towards the seating area. Kimmie and I were very fortunate to make it to the very front row at the beginning of the runway. The video you see above is the reward for the long treck to the West side and all that standing. Even though you can't tell from the video, Gossip Girl's Blake Lively was sitting front row of the show. No wonder there were so many flash bulbs going off!
For another perspective, check out The Kitten Lounge's coverage of the Cynthia Rowley Spring 2009 collection.

| New York Fashion Week - MAC Face Charts For Tuesday 9/9 |
| 2008-09-18 13:02:50 |
Rodarte, Derek Lam and Halston - the three heavy hitters MAC cosmetics did the makeup for on 9/9 are diversified. Rodarte is known for it's English countryside influences, while Derek Lam is a go-to amongst the social elite. And Halston - well, let's just say that Harvy Weinstein (the man funding and sleeping with Marchesa's Georgina Chapman) has ran into his fair share of roadblocks attempting to revive the iconic brand. These things obviously influence the way the brand is perceived, but nothing can change perception like a fresh coat of makeup. Check out how MAC artists interpreted these brands for Spring 2009.

| On The Plus Side: A Fuller Figured Fashion Week Experience - The Slimming Savior |
| 2008-09-17 22:20:28 |
I don't usually like to hail a product as the next greatest thing, but in this case, I just can't help myself.
Remember that day with all the falling? Well without the Miracle Suit High Waist Thigh Slimmer, the whole world would have seen my goodies and some un-goodies. Combine multiple falls with laying on xray tables and you have a day made for flashing disasters.
I've always been the kind of gal to feel a bit uncomfortable in skirts and dresses. Don't get me wrong, I love to wear them, but I'm always worried about my thighs rubbing together or the sudden breeze blowing my skirt up for the whole neighborhood to see.
I'm not going to lie - this thing is serious. The tag says you can look like you lost 10 pounds, and that's probably true. I love the smoothing effect almost more than I love the slimming aspect. Who wants their lumps and bumps on display for everyone to see. However, I do highly recommend you allow extra time for the bathroom - in both getting there and leavi...

| 2008-09-17 00:03:34 |
The graphics for the daily MAC face charts are so darn gorgeous. A bit Diane Von Fursteburg, a bit Andy Warhol, but always in full color. Monday, September 8, brought the appearance of the fashionable heavy hitters - Carolina Herrera, Catherine Malandrino and Proenza Schouler.
I'm really glad to see the looks for Spring aren't resigning to creamy nudes and shrinking violets. For more information on the powerhouse looks, check out the images below.

Even though Thursday was such a disaster, I felt pretty darn great about my makeup that I brought it back for a second time on the opening day of New York Fashion Week.
There are so many things I love about this look. It is heavily influenced by Dita Von Teese's red carpet looks, with the scarlet lips, brightened eye lids and flawless skin.
Using NARS Artist Palette #9941 allowed me to experience what all the hoopla was truly about surrounding The Multiple. I have recently began to appreciate cream based blushes and The Multiple certainly delivers. The smooth creamy formula makes it easy to smooth the color on in your desired strength, and the...

NARS Mascara in Black OrchidNARS Eyeliner Pencil in Black MoonNARS Eye Makeup RemoverNARS Eyeshadow Duo in PandoraNARS Black Eye Set $60
With Free 3-Day ShippingAt first glance, the blank white and deep black of the Pandora Eyeshadow Duo might appear intimidating. I tend to go a little heavy with eyeshadow and the more pigmented shades NARS offers are serious business.
But don't let the black eyeshadow offered in Pandora scare you away - it easily blends with lighter shades to create the perfect smokey eye. NARS Black Eye set perfectly combines all the products necessary to glam yourself up a bit.
After working for Lancome, I became a serious devotee of the Bi-facil eye makeup remover. I loved the way it combined the formula with an oil that easily swept everything away. NARS formula is similar in the combination, but just as effective without as much oil. Dare I say, it's even better! Just remember to take that intense eye makeup off before you crawl into bed, otherwise t...
