9/8/13 NYC,NY. A striking array of candy colored clothes for men and women warmed the black background of THE BOX at Lincoln Center yesterday. Malan Breton’s Spring 2014 Collection, the lux collection for men and women was set against a black background as Yunjin Kim sang arias from Puccini, Rachmaninoff, and Mozart.

The guests were taken aback speechless as they moved through the presentation. They were also gifted bags filled with great presents from the shows sponsors: Babyliss by Conair, Batiste dry shampoo, Nail polish from Morgan Taylor, Gold Toe Socks and a REEL CODE patch with a chance to win a gown from the MALAN BRETON collection.

MBFW S 2014: Carmen Marc Valvo, Nonoo, TOME and Morgan Taylor

September 6, 2013

The soft, feminine sheer tulle and futuristic accents at Carmen Marc Valvo provided a stark contrast to sharp geographic prints on peek-a-boo pieces. This divergence was mirrored by an edgy nude manicure with black French tip created by Gina Edwards for Morgan Taylor using the Morgan Taylor lacquers In The Nude and Little Black Dress.


German painter, Gerhard Richter inspired Nonoo‘s artful, elegant, ladylike Spring 2014 collection. The polished clothes were further accentuated by a painterly nail designed by Gina Edwards. The base coat on all nails was a creamy spearmint Mint Chocolate Chip and each hand included an accent nail displaying a replica of a dreamy marbleized Gerhard Richter painting using a mixture of Mint Chocolate Chip, blended with the strong opaque white All White Now, punched-up pastille green Later Alligator and classic pale pink Luxe Be A Lady.


TOME’s menswear-shaped pieces colored with soft satiny pinks and muted metallics were balanced by foundation-shade nails custom mixed by Morgan Taylor to match each model’s unique skin tone. The understated manicures and pedicures enhanced their natural coloring and acted as an extension of their fingers and toes.

Morgan Taylor is a prestige professional lacquer collection of 100 shades that debuted worldwide in May 2013. It is sold exclusively in salons, retail price is $8.50 per bottle. For salon locations visit www.MorganTaylorLacquer.com.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week S 2014

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York kicked off yesterday with an extensive array of parties, runways and presentations. The fact that High Holidays is falling over the first have has caused a bit of consternation for those observing the Jewish Holiday, but it appears business as usual for the most part.

I was scheduled to head out tomorrow with a good lineup, but just got exciting personal news on this end and I’ll need to bump my trip until February.

No, I’m not pregnant.

Check back for reports on the trends as they head down the runway.

Carbo Loading: Palladio Rice Powder Blotting Papers

They should never see you sweat or shine.

For my latest birthday my friend Melissa swallowed her pride and got tickets for us to see KE$HA at the Rave here in Milwaukee. Ke$ha music is just ridiculously fun! In turn, I surprised her by arranging for hair and makeup from Amanda Shallow. Melissa looked pretty hot in her eye candy:

I wanted a few dreds and Amanda obliged:

Lots of glitter in the hair, eyeliner and a few crystals on my face and, voila! I loved the end result:

Psst…I can’t help but think of this when I see the above photo:

The night was fun, but what we didn’t count on was the intense heat.  A storm was coming, but the only air blowing through was focused on the empty corners of the bar (because people were watching the concert, ‘natch).  Mike Posner was pretty incredible opening act, dancing non-stop in what looked like LEATHER.  He sh0uld have passed out at some point but blew through his performance. It only (literally) got hotter from there.

We really could have used some Palladio Rice Powder Blotting Papers.

These gorgeous little packs are small enough to fit in that night out purse, and cut shine in two ways.  One, the “paper” side, if you will, should be used to sop up any liquidy mess to prep the area.

Then, use the matte side to easily smooth over oil absorbing rice powder to stay fresh longer.

The sheets are generous in size, and come in  translucent, neutral and beige (brown rice? nyuk nyuk).

Be a spendthrift and snip these in half to make them last even longer.

40 tissues per pack

Available at Sephora and online
