Saturday, January 7th, 2012If you haven’t been already- you simply must visit Interior Designer Laura Divenere’s blog- My Life in Design. I get creative inspiration from her blog and regularly find myself completely swept away to some of my favorite far away places when I read Laura’s posts. One of her latest posts takes us on a gorgeous design inspired trip to The Isle of Capri & The Amalfi Coast….I can’t get enough. Enjoy!

Happy 2012!
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012Happy 2012 everyone! I’ve been away from the blog for a while. I apologize. I had a very full holiday season with work, travel, guests, cooking, computer issues, you name it- it happened. Back up…. and RUNNING.
I don’t know about you- but I am really excited about 2012. I think people are ready for change. I think people are realizing that they have a choice and a VOICE in that change. A voice to propose change for the better in many aspects of their own lives. I’m feeling it. I’m looking forward to creating a fabulous new year….
Looking ahead- thinking about this time of year and all that it brings to the world of beauty and fashion…..Awards season is coming! Later this month it all begins….I am looking forward to seeing and creating some gorgeous red carpet looks this year. This is always my busy time so I will try to share some good stuff- products, behind the scenes shots, anything I can to bring you in on the excitement!
I have also been exploring A LOT of product over the last month or more- both new brands and classic tried and true and so I have a lot of new favorite things to talk about here and will do so in the upcoming days.
Before I go I wanted to share that in March you can see me on camera again. I’ll be creating makeup looks for the new show Fashion Star on NBC premiering March 13th. Check local listings for the time in your region. The show is hosted by the lovely Elle Macpherson. I am part of the Maybelline makeup team headed up by my friend and fellow Cloutier Remix artist Julianne Kaye. Please visit the Fashion Star site and check out the show! Really looking forward to seeing the show and the final results.
More soon….

Wong Kar-Wai for Shu Uemura Holiday
Tuesday, October 18th, 2011Prada Spring/Summer 2012
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011This is video from the Prada Spring/Summer 2012 collection from Milan. I loved this show. I could watch it over and over. I loved the art direction. I seriously need to find out who did the music. The whole thing was beautiful to behold. I adored the modern simplicity of the beauty….which perfectly complimented the fashion.
Pat McGrath bleached the models eyebrows out and then recreated them by filling them in with beige or gray. She used her fingers to sheer out full coverage foundation across the models faces. Barely there cheek. Pastel pink lipstick blended well with concealer on the lips. Black pencil in the rim of the eye, gloss washed across the lid. Guido Palau did an extreme side part and then curled sections with an iron to look like the girls actually set their own hair with bobby pins- for an organic curl-he wanted the girls to look like they did their hair themselves….

Spider Lashes…..
Friday, August 26th, 2011Lovers of clumpy lashes- rejoice! This is your time. If Pat McGrath says it’s ok- you’d better believe it’s ok. Think Twiggy in the 60′s. McGrath designed the makeup look for Lanvin’s Fall 2011 collection which featured black shadow painted on and blended out toward the outside edge of the eye framed by clumped together spider lashes. Get ready to see lots of clumpy lashes hit the streets. It’s certainly an easy look to create at home- you probably have already given yourself spider lashes at some point. So, if you get heavy handed with the mascara- don’t worry. You’re in fashion for Fall! I appreciate McGrath’s philosophy about the look she created for Lanvin- ”It’s the girls looking like they’ve done the makeup themselves. It’s all about imperfection.”

Tangerine Living Fall 2011 Beauty Report
Thursday, August 25th, 2011
I’m really excited about Fall. I always am. It’s my favorite season…..I always get inspired around this time of the year. I love the transition from Summer to Fall. It’s a good time to get excited about self expression! Change things up for yourself. It can be as simple as changing the lipstick you wear daily- the favorite you carry in your makeup bag. The way you wear your hair. Anything. It’s all for you. It’s your personal symbol of seasonal transition. What changes will you make? Head over to Tangerine Living for some inspiration.
