Why Did or Why Don’t: Blame the French

By Kirsten|October 10th, 2012|Beauty Buzz, Why Did or Why Don't?|

Chanel’s Srping 2013 show was much buzzed about in many thanks to the biggest Chanel bag you’ll never own. Yes, that hula hoop she’s carrying is actually a very expensive beach tote. I mean, why not? How else are you gonna get your towel to the sand? It’s not going to carry itself.

Well, what was most shocking to me was not the circus like accessories, but rather the manicures on the models’ lengthy fingers. Oh yes, that’s right, they were sporting a little something that we like to call a French manicure. Now, tell me I’m not alone here when I can only associate this particular manicure with acrylic tips and tanning beds. Basically the only thing worse than a French manicure… is a French pedicure. But alas, Chanel took it there. Sure, some may call it a “classic” but to me, there is nothing modern about this classic and I’m not thoroughly convinced that this particular trend ever needs to make it back into the rotation.

A bientot.

Would You Wednesday: Like Fine Wine

By Kirsten|September 12th, 2012|Beauty Buzz, Why Did or Why Don't?|

Red lips have reigned supreme for the last few seasons, but this fall, crimson goes a bit goth. Fire engine red gets a bit deeper and takes on the tone of dark berries and plum wine. Not only are apparel and accessories in the shade of fermented grapes going to be all the rage for fall, but makeup trends follow suit. From lips to fingertips, it seems we’ll be opting for shades of deep red and burgundy.
