Jeremy Scott Fall 2012
Because Jeremy Scott is one of my all time favorite fashion designers, I have to honor him by featuring his work. Typically I look forward to seeing Jeremy’s collaboration with Longchamp, as he gives front-row guests the new bag for the season. But I haven’t been able to find a picture of this season’s tote (I will definitely post it once I find). This collection seems to be inspired by the 90s, rainbows, and the internet –a crazy combination that can only manifest itself in the most avant garde way, a way that only Jeremy can contrive. I’m not sure how wearable this collection is, but it pulled high-profile models and celebrity guests alike. Here are a few highlights, and if you’re interested you can check out the rest of the collection here.

Oscar de la Renta Fall 2012
So far, this is my favorite collection (but Jeremy Scott is showing today…), Oscar used the most beautiful colors to warm up his fall collection. In addition to dark hues, the collection featured a large selection of pastel pinks and blues. There are a lot of different looks presented, and as usual the show ended with beautiful, over-the-top ball gowns….Oscar gowns. When I first looked at the collection the obvious thing for me was the 60s-woman silhouettes, pinned hair with jeweled headbands, fishnets, and the printed-jewels.
Here is the entire collection.
NYX Mood Lip Gloss
During my weekly trip to Ulta I came across this fun, girly lipgloss by NYX cosmetics. It’s called Mood Lip Gloss, what a cool idea! It goes on clear and adjusts in color based on your “mood.” There are 3 shades, I bought “Romantic Love” because it’s super pinky and that’s what I was looking for. The fourth lip gloss is a “smile brightener,” not sure how that works but it’s worth looking into. The glosses are a great price ($4.50) and it’s pretty cool to see the change in color from application to your “mood.” I’ve used it twice and it’s come out in different colors both times. Once the gloss wears off it acts as a lip stain, still leaving your lips tinted. You can get them here or at Ulta.
Victoria Beckham Fall ’12
I’ve never featured anything by Victoria Beckham on the blog but that has been an oversight on my part. Her clothes are beautifully constructed and adored by many. Long and slender silhouettes elongate even the slimmest of models, much like Victoria herself. Mrs. Posh also released a picture of her new “Harper” bag yesterday, sure to be the “it” bag of this fall season.
Rest of collection is here.
OPI Holland Collection
Anyone who knows me is aware of my love for Amsterdam. I know I left my heart in Europe two years ago, but especially in Amsterdam. I could use all the beautiful adjectives in the world in attempt to describe the city, but nothing I say would do it justice. It’s somewhere that you have to discover for yourself. If you’ve been then you know what I’m talking about, and we’ll share this special moment. With that said, I walked into Ulta to see this gorgeous display:
How did I not know that OPI’s spring collection would be Holland? I am a nail polish freak and when my love for all things Holland and OPI come together…it could be disastrous…for my bank account. After much thought, I’ve come to the decision that I cannot have all of the colors and that I should choose a few, to be reasonable, of course. I’m leaning towards “A Roll in the Hague” (bottom tier, far left) because neons and specifically tangerine are the hot colors for Spring. Keep in mind this windmill display does not portray the colors very well, they all generally have a bit of sparkle in them. And just for kicks, I thought I’d include the Pantone color of the year: Tangerine Tango. I can assure you that the orange and red colors will be the first ones to go from this collection so buy them now!
Kate Spade Fall 2012 Presentation
Though I find Kate Spade to be a little conservative for my style (and by that I mean not enough black in their line), I found myself really liking their collection for Fall 2012. Known for producing bright and colorful pieces, Kate Spade drew on more than just hot pinks and oranges for their color palate. Rich emeralds, reds, and even a touch of fur balanced out the expected aquas and bright yellows, for which Kate Spade is so well known. This collection is inspired by the coveted culture of Paris (feathers, classic floral prints, envelope clutches, blunt bangs, ok now I’m stereotyping) and styled by everyone’s favorite, Brad Goreski. Here are my favorites from the collection, and for the record, I’m obsessed with the “Pardon My French” t-shirt.

Katy Perry Eyelashes
I saw these cute lashes the last time I was in Ulta and have regretted not buying them. So next time I’m at Ulta (*cough tomorrow cough*) I’m definitely buying a set. Appropriately named: Sweetie Pie, Oh My! , Oh Honey!, and Cool Kitty. No Ulta? No problem. You can buy them here.
