This year's biggest makeup trends were all about singular statements. There were extremely dramatic eyes and lips designed to be worn with an otherwise low-key face, like big graphic liner, sultry greasepaint smoky eyes, and highly pigmented ruby and aubergine lipsticks. A couple of sweeter, lighter trends still had lots of impact, like juicy peach lipstick and the pretty "all natural" look. Were any of these trends a big beauty inspiration for you this year?

New York Fashion Week: Marc Jacobs Spring 2010
In the Showroom: Chadwick Bell Spring 2010
Chadwick Bell started designing his namesake collection in 2007 with childhood friend-turned-business partner, Vanessa Webster. The 27-year-old California native has since presented a series of collections praised for their clean, polished sophistication. His most recent spring 2010 line-up consisted of sharply tailored suits, tulle-detailed pencil skirts, and eel skin dresses that stood on just the right side of sexy versus vulgar. We recently visited Bell's New York showroom and fell in love with his ginkgo leaf prints and handmade accessories—braided leather belts and beaded chiffon necklaces.

2010 Spring New York Trend Alert: Return of the One Piece
Perfect timing. After this Summer, I decided I need a new one piece. Though I am a skimpy bikini girl at heart, there are times when a one piece is in order. Be it a swanky pool party or chillin' poolside with the fam, the return of the one piece is upon us. Brian Reyes sent out delicate seersuckers, Derek Lam posh loungers, even sexy fashion beast Herve Leger turned down the volume with a printed baby-blue laser-cut suit. If anyone can prove one pieces can be equally as sexy as two, it's Michael Kors and his clear plastic cut-out noir creation. If only I could have that model's chiseled cheekbones, too . . .
2010 Spring New York Trend Alert: Biker Shorties
We've been advocating biker shorties for a while now. What can I say — I love the '90s. When I spied lots of them at New York Fashion Week my heart palpitated with excitement. Before you start judging, let me point out the way DKNY wore them: higher, subtle, colorful styles paired unexpectantly under tailored shorts and sleek jumpers. It just so happens, these are DKNY "Smoothies" — the brand's latest form of shapewear debuting in January. The 70-plus denier yarn combinations will come in seven matte finish colors and come in three styles: a bike short, high bike short, and capri style. Start your imagination engines.
