New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Michael Kors

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 07:00:22 -0700

Go Agyness, go Agyness, go! Can't you just feel the heat from Michael Kors' Spring sensations? If anyone can do Halston-esque pantsuits and Palm Beach prints it's Kors. However, this collection takes me back to his Spring 2000 collection. His inspiration then was "Palm Bitch" - be sure to check out an early Gisele in the lineup - and it seems his inspiration now is "Palm Bitchier." But I love it.

With sherbet florals and stripes, the separates and suiting were the standouts. Though his one-shoulder and halter gowns always arouse, they didn't seem so fresh as the swingy skirt/sweater pairings, safari getups and swimsuits. Sultry 70s accessories such as floppy hats, skinny belts and headscarves were fun finishers.

Flower Power Makeup Part III: Palettes

BellaSugar — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 08:11:22 -0700

Welcome to the final installment of flower power makeup. This post includes two beautiful palettes embossed with floral designs. By the way, palettes make for great Mother's Day gifts if you are already thinking of ideas. Enjoy and please let me know what you think!

I just love the look of this brand new for Spring Chantecaille Les Roses Palette, $105. Although it's expensive, it actually is cheaper to purchase the palette than it is to buy all of the colors separately.

The shades chosen are all very wearable, and the full rose on the blush and bronzer adds a sweet and feminine touch. I happen to really like this brand a lot. I haven't tried this yet, but I can't wait to check it out.

Prescriptives Colorscope Set, $50, so reminds me of a flower! I can't be certain if it's a flower, star or sun, so I've taken creative freedom positioning it here. I'm a big Prescriptives fan and I really like the plum family of colors they have put together.

I have also seen this palette in more of a neutral tone, but I can't seem to find it online anymore - maybe it's sold out. It also comes with a double sided shadow and contour brush. I can't wait to hear what you think.

YSL Makeup Palette Bracelet

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 09:34:29 -0800

Yves Saint Laurent has just come out with the coolest Makeup Palette Bracelet. Talk about an awesome accessory! This is a designer cosmetic masquerading as a rhinestone and gold bracelet, with an elegant black band and embossed subtle logo. I love the detail in the closure too. This would be a great way to touch up your make-up without having to carry a purse. Inside are three hidden makeup products: a shiny lipstick, a bright, lustrous gloss and an eye shadow that can be applied with your fingertip. This totally reminds me of a glamorous, old-school watch. I can't wait to buy mine. Get it in one size and color here for $55.
