Twitter Q&A: The Secret to Longer Lashes

Aug 31, 2009 @ 2:00 pm

Q: @LuxuriousLola asked: How can I grow longer lashes?
A: Depending on the amount of time and money you’re willing to invest, there are a variety of ways to get longer, thicker lashes. Last December, the FDA approved Latisse, a dermatologist-prescribed growth treatment that promises to increase the number of eyelash hairs your body produces in 12 to 16 weeks. (You’ve probably seen the commercials with the lovely Brooke Shields.) More

The Olsen Twins Channel Madonna

Aug 31, 2009 @ 11:00 am

The Olsen twins must have been inspired the statement-making Louis Vuitton rabbit ears Madonna wore to the MET gala earlier this year. The designer duo sported Maison Michel lace bunny ears at the Opening Ceremony Japan party yesterday; Ashley in the Mickey Mouse Ears and Mary-Kate in the Rabbit Ears. They offset their silly headbands with sophisticated black dresses and chic Prada accessories. While we aren’t certain rabbit ears work for everyone, we are always a fan of having fun with fashion.

Is Red The New Black?

Aug 31, 2009 @ 10:15 am

Yes, according to the red carpet at the Daytime Emmy Awards, where black dresses were shunned for the more heart-pounding hue. Tyra Banks wore a one-shoulder Rachel Roy coral-red sheath, while Jenni Garth opted for an orange-red gown that was pure old Hollywood glam. So say goodbye to your collection of LBDs (at least for now) and embrace the newest go-to—the little red dress.

Kate Moss For Topshop Fall Collection In Stores Today

Aug 31, 2009 @ 9:00 am

Kate Moss‘s newest collection for Topshop is in stores and online today. The collection is a more grown-up interpretation of Moss’s signature rock and roll style with faux fur jackets, classic striped sweaters and plenty of look-at-me cocktail dresses. Our personal favorites are the Flame Mesh Halter Dress (right) and the metallic Jacquard Bandeau Dress (left)—both add the perfect amount of high-voltage style to nighttime dressing.
