Blätter-bunt

Hi style star sisters. Im baccck! There’s soo much going on here and worldwide that it’s good to sometimes escape and put the focus elsewhere like your fall clothing transition. Those cool morning breezes and strong winds may be the remnants of the horrific hurricane patterns throughout the country. I think it’s fall telling us to retire our flip flops and cold shoulder tops. Well, put the the flip flops away for next season because there are some great looks to look forward to.

BOMBER JACKETS

This look is not new but it’s has been updated from the military green bomber jacket we’re familiar with. Now ladies we have bold feminine patterns and silky textures. Take a look below at some of the bomber trends.

This is a mid price sexy off the shoulder bomber jacket from BCBG I found on line for over $100. Love the bold pattern.

MSM4J788_U44Of course,  as a style star who loves a good deal, I found many other cute bombers at other stores like JCP for under $50.00.6877020DP0503201700225174M

RED LOVE AFFAIR

Well, style stars, most designers have fallen back in love with the color red. I must admit you have to really commit fully to this color if you plan to wear a full on red assemble like shown below from Fendi. I love the fitted coat and sleek boots.

Another gorgeous I want it right now red explosion from Fendi. 3ffb53cea5f02405e818c500482e9f60--red-fashion-fashion-check

red-02.nocrop.w710.h2147483647.2x

If you are bold enough for head to toe red looks as shown above . This is how you do it. Flawless!

For those of us who do not spend our days trotting down runways in complete red looks, I suggest adding a pop of red with a great bag or shoes.

These two bags are great for work days since they can fit many items.

I love these Steve Madden shoes that are a dead ringer for the pricey Altuzarra shoe. The red stretchy boot from Madden is a great look for pants and dresses.  Looking good does not have to break your budget. Both looks can be found for less than $130.00.

FURS and FEATHERS

Ok I admit, I love the colored faux fur and sherlings many stores are carrying now. Also, feathers and shimmy dresses are in season. I  have a cute shimmy dress I bought 2 years ago for a Halloween party. I wanted to embody Tina Turner. It’s good to know I will be able to wear this again. What do you think? FB_IMG_1506438734503

Here are a few looks for the fall season that will help you spark you inner Tina and glam goddess.

These feathered looks were featured looks for fall.

Calvin Klein fall 2017

LineDot_Ostrich_Skirt-1080x632

Above featured ostrich skirt from Line & Dot found at Revolve for $70. This skirt will have you doing a shimmy all night long. This cute purse or bottie can add a flirty sexy vibe to any outfit. The purse is from International Concepts for $25.

So, my style star sisters,  I hope this fall you find your inner glam goddess. Make the looks your own by trying one of the hot looks featured. See you all on the concrete runway!

Your style sister,

Natasha

I Woke Up Like This..(really)

Greetings Style Stars…

Whew… I know it’s been a while.  I’ve been swamped with so many commitments. But apparently I’m not the only one who has been busy. It seems you all are so busy you don’t have the time to put on a face. What! Yes “beating” your face was a girl’s morning ritual. You wake up, glam up,  jump into something fabulous and go. Now it appears make up – is one and done..done..done. .  We  keep it on– from permanent lashes to now semi permanent eyebrows.

It’s all the rage: Eyebrow MicroBlading. What? Well it’s tattooing using tiny needles to replicate eyebrow hairs.

images-3.jpegimages-6.jpeg

It is different than the permanent make up we’ve heard about, because micro blading  is placed in short strokes to mimic hair.

images-5.jpeg

 

Also micro blading is not permanent.  Reports are it lasts about a year, year and half- some say three years.  It does require touch ups of course.  Ok- so I know you are thinking if it’s painful. Feedback is- it  feels someone is scratching your eyebrows.. so doesn’t hurt. Numbing cream is applied to squash that. The brows are thicker and darker at the start so don’t freak- they fade.

Celebrities love it.. seems they may be the only ones who can afford it. MicroBlading  ain’t cheap. Get ready to shell out- on average  $700 for the initial application and one month follow up. But pow- the results are  gorgeous! Check out the pics .

Unknown.jpegimages-1.jpegimages-2.jpegimages.jpeg

This goes without saying- please find someone who knows what in the heck they are doing. Eyebrows are vital to your face.. and remember  it is semi-PERMANENT.

We pluck them, thread them, tweeze them, shave them,  pencil them in– now we can  “tat em in” one by one.

Ok you got the brows.. now get the lips. Seriously this is peal off lip color.-stays on your lips. Downside though, some are reporting it makes lips a lil dry.  Who needs that in the dead of winter.

f806bd1a-fd3e-4c09-b639-c990228db1c2.jpg

Now  Style Stars when you open your eyes- you are half way there. Yeah baby, I woke up like this for real.

Ciao

What’s In My Bag?

04 Thursday Aug 2016

Ok style star sisters,  I must admit I love a large gorgeous bag. But, it’s not the size of the bag that’s important, it’s the contents that I cannot live without. A pair of flip flops for that emergency pedicure, several lipsticks colors because you may want a deep red lip by the end of the day or your  favorite scent is right at your fingertips.  Um, doesn’t that sound familiar ladies. So , I thought it was high time I shared with my fellow style stars, what’s in my bag.

20160731_154805

20160731_230049

100% Tea Tree Oil is my liquid doctor fix. This oil is my go to for pimples, razor bumps, and any skin imperfections. So, my style star gents can find this useful too. It has helped clear my dark marks and it soothes mosquitoes bites too. Just add a few drops on a cotton pad along  some warm water daily and you’ll see the difference. A bottle ranges from $6.00 to $9.99.

Now, after your skin is clear and blemish free, make sure you use the best mascara ever. The L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Superstar mascara is the next best thing to false lashes. All my style stars need this duo mascara that includes a white thickening gel that adds volume to your lashes. I love the fullness of my lashes without looking too done up. For about $10.99, it is worth running to your nearest CVS.

Now that your eyes are gorgeous, your lips need to pop to complete your look. I must admit I buy MAC lipsticks, but I find the mattes are very drying. Well, no more cracked dry lips. MILANI lipsticks are an affordable line found in many major drug chains.  I am most impressed with the matte colors. The colors are bold, beautiful and moisturizering. My favorite color is Matte Confident. It’s a perfect red for  darker skin tones. Also, the regular lipsticks are extra moisturizering and luscious. My favorite is Tuscan Toast. This is a perfect combination of brown and brick red. You’ll definitely buy several colors at a time.

For those of us who have large pores and oily skin, I have found a great product. I have used  Dr. BRANDT’S Pores No More for over a year now. Within  seconds my skin looks smooth and my pores are minimal. Dr. BRANDT’s products range in price. But, for a little over  $40,  your skin will look flawless. Go to Sephora for the DR.BRANDT’s line.

Now, I have saved one of the best product lines for last. Nerium International has the best age defying formulas on the market. I used the night cream for several months and I noticed a change with my skin texture. My pores minimised and I looked refreshed. Now, you can order Nerium on line. There is a 30 day money back guarantee. So, style stars, you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying it out.

There you have it Style Stars. All my hidden beauty finds are now yours.

Your style star sister,

Natasha

 

Spring into Summer

So style stars, the warm days and balmy nights are upon us. Time to show those bright painted toes and sexy shoulders. I’m excited about some of this seasons trends. Sleek one strap sandals, bare shoulder dresses, wide-legged pants and fringes are everywhere. My inner Tina Turner is going to come out.

The one strap sandal is a great must have for the season. Pair them with a fitted body con dress or jeans for a chic look. I found a few sandals that are worth snatching up. Steven Weitzman has pair for as low as $398. But, I like the more affordable options by Carlos Santana and Steve Madden. Both designers have the same look for as low as $50.

Here’so another look from Stuart Weitzman and Steve Madden that are a very good match too.

My other new shoe addiction are the sexy fringe sandals. Yes, all you modern day Tina Turners can step and shimmy in style. I found a pricey designer version from Aquazzura for a little under  $700. Steve Madden has almost the exact shoe for less than $150. My affordable pick is a brand I was not familiar with Chase and Chloe.  It was less than  $40. Take a good look.

The block shoe is back. I find them a bit clumsy but I found some of the new styles are worth checking out. These two styles combine the single strap and fringe trend. Let’s take a look. Both I found on line for less than $150.

 Now, if you want to add a fringe hand bag, I saw a few great pieces that would bring out the bohemian goddess in all of us. My splurge item is from Farrah for $598. Gorgeous leather in a great camel color.

So, now let’s bring the attention to our shoulders. I love all the shoulder baring sexy dresses this season. There are all price ranges available so style stars will not have to break the bank.

 

The wide-legged pants or palazzo look is also a great look that can be casual or dressed up. Paired with an off the shoulder top for a cool sophisticated vibe is a good day time option.

Celebrity Victoria Beckham has a high end fashion line which sells tailored wide-legged pants. Below, Victoria gives us a pulled together sophisticated look you can wear for business.

My style stars have a lot to look forward to this season. Remember: bold, sexy, and flirty looks can be yours too without going broke.

2016 MET GALA

05 Thursday May 2016

It’s that time of year everyone when the Who’s Who of Hollywood gather in New York for the Met gala. As for myself and every other fashionista, I look  forward to viewing the extravagant gowns and innovative designs that grace the carpeted steps. And, this years theme, Manus X Machina : Fashion in the Age of Technology, did not disappoint.

The theme Manus X Machina comes from the notion of couture designs being superior and more desired than the ready to wear or mass produced fashions. Yes, some couture gowns can take thousands of hours to make. Therefore, designers can slap hefty price tags for their coveted wears. Now, Manus X Machina debunks the man versus machine myth. This years gala theme explored the blurred lines in fashion to achieve something exciting and new for the future.

Whew! Now let’s talk about who actually did this successfully.  I went through numerous pics of gowns that were innovative, sexy and wearable. How ever, I noticed some gowns resembled what one would see at the Golden globes. Pretty and boring. Ugh! I promise I will just talk about those who I felt were  truly fashion forward.

WHO STOLE THE SHOW?

I must say actress Claire Danes looked like a modern day Cinderella in her Zac Posen designed ball gown. What made it even more special were the Led lights through out the entire dress. Magnificent!

Another beautiful gown was designed by Marchesa for Karolina Kurkova. It included over 150 led lights. Stunning!

Ok, the lights were impressive. But, I will now just show who I believed to be the best dressed ladies. Sexy, alluring, mysterious and just down right magical. And, they added something fresh to the evening.

Best Dressed Ladies

I absolutely loved Ciara’s fitted silver gown by H&M. Fabulous!

Sister Bond

Kylie Jenner was stunning in Balmain at her first Met gala. Model sister Kendall Jenner was not letting Kylie steal the show in her Atelier gown.

My other stand out ladies were Alessandro Ambrosio, Beyonce in a latex design, Rita O’ra, Naomi Campbell, and Zendaya in Michael Kors. This would have been my choice for the evening. I wore something similar to to the Harlem awards. It was soo cheap I could not believe it.

Best dressed men of the evening

I must say there is nothing more sexy than a man who looks great in a suit. And, these men came out correct for the evening. My top pick was….wait for it..Idris Elba. Damn. Effortless style and he looked handsome as ever. A few other men stood out as well. Michael B. Jordan, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Tyga who wore a sparkling silver jacket. Confidence never looked better on the red carpet.

Best dressed couples at the Met

I was impressed by a few couples at the Met gala. They seemed to compliment each other not out shine one another. Just one nice package. Two for one. Don’t  you just love those deals.😃 My favorites were Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Derek Jeter and Sports Illustrated model, Hannah Davis, Gigi Hadid in Tommy Hilfiger and Zain Malik wearing a metal armed jacket by Versace . Very innovative.

Yes, there are soo many looks worth mentioning. But, you can scan pictures of Madonna’s naked butt another time. Stay tuned next week for my Spring favorite items.

My Skintastic Finds

It’s been a long time since I’ve shared some of the products or fashion finds that I’m excited about. Well, today, I’m taking a slight detour from fashion to focus on skin products. I feel the maintenance of your skin is more important than any outfit. Now, these products I just didn’t glance at on a store shelf or in a magazine. I actually used all these items for several months. I must say I am quite pleased with the results. My skin looks brighter, softer and less fatigued. And to top it off, all these products are extremely affordable and located right at a CVS near you or online. So, here’s my Skintastic Finds list.

1. Hansderma SkinCool Ice Roller-This product is kept in your freezer. I use it for facial puffiness, tired muscles, and after waxing treatments. It’s perfect for after my biweekly lip wax. Very soothing and helps to revive a tired face in the am. This item is about $30.00 and found online.

Hansderma-Skincool-Ice-Roller-fuer-daheim--inlineImageCentered-a6b91f85-377909[1]

2. Salma Hayek Nuance products-Cucumber and Rosewater Dual Phase Makeup Remover. Great! . This gently removes makeup while moisturizing your face. I use a cotton pad and swipe away all the day’s makeup and dirt. This is a Must! And, for less than $10.00. I loved the remover so much I tried another product from the same line.

Nuance-Salma-Hayek-Dual-Phase-Makeup-Remover[1]

3.  Salma Hayek’s Moisturizing Day Cream- This day cream I use every morning after I tone my skin. My skin looks good even without makeup. I love it because it’s gentle, not oily and has SPF 30 too. So, you have a daily moisturizer and SPF protection for under $20.00. All of Salma Hayek’s products are found at CVS.

71m+VElFpwL[1]

And, my last favorite find.

63942803237[2]

4. MUA Retractable lip brush- Ok, I have to confess. I’m that woman that hates to give up a great lipstick color even when the stick gets low in the tube. I hate to waste anything. And, we know cosmetics can add up. So, instead of digging in my tube with whatever,  I found a good solution. Mua’s retractable lip brush is good for defining lips and using the last drop of your favorite lip color. You have to get this. Also, available at CVS  for less than $10.00. So, there you have it. I hope you try all or at least one of the products.

Your Style Star Sister,

Natasha

Are You Ready for Spring?

Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2014..Fringes

Dolce and Gabbana Spring 2014..Fringes

Ok. Freaky, snowy, dreary, wintry weather be gone! Although, my local meteorologist has warned us of a possible snowy wintry mix this coming week, I still feel like it’s time to start buying some of this season’s crayon colored eclectic prints, backless mules, and floral prints that line the racks in most stores. They’re everywhere taunting us ladies as we trudged by store windows in our snow boots and heavy winter coats. Green shoes, yellow spring coats, orange dresses, really? Yes, style star sisters, it’s time to put our Spring thinking caps on and get our wardrobes together. So, I’ve decided to showcase a few items that I’ve noticed featured in many magazines for the Spring season. Some I like and some well, you be the judge.

So, orange is the color de jour. I’m excited by this trend because personally I’m not a red wearer so to see orange appear in so many of this season’s looks is a nice fresh twist. Orange lipstick and dresses were seen on the New York and Paris runways.

Now when I think of fringe, the image of Tina Turner performing on stage “Rolling down the River” while Ike watches her with a cautious eye. Okay, I loved it on Tina with her gorgeous frame and well toned legs, but not too certain about it some forty years later. Well, many of the designers for Spring 2014 thought it was time to revisit the fringe. Dolce-and-gabbana-spring-summer-2014-women-fashion-show-15 I do love the fringed coat. Sheer tops had a big presence too.

Now, the shoe trends for Spring 2014 are a nice mixed bag. Some include odd architecturally designed shoes like these.

extraordinary heeled shoes

. While other designers brought back the mule. Love it!

Wearing white after Labor day is fine now, especially if you rock a pair of white wide

Wide leg pants

Wide leg pants

legged pants. Bye Bye skinny pants! Hello wide free flowing trousers.

So, style stars, you have a lot to choose from or not. I for one love wide leg pants and the color orange so I may just combine both looks.

Orange wide leg pants

Yes, Spring is here. It’s just the beginning so put on your bright colors, celebrate and be “Happy” like the singer Pharrell says and know you deserve to smile, laugh, play and dance because winter is over!

49 Year old L’Wren Scott found dead of apparent suicide in her Manhattan Apartment

  Sad news StyleStars when genius dies. Ok L’Wrenn Scott  designs were primarily window shopping for me. Super expensive. Averaging $2,500, but you could get a few pieces for maybe a little more than a grand on sale.

 Her amazing lady like dresses tailor made for the stars. Red Carpet ready.  Perfect bodies, perfect dresses.. but perfect lives???
Stars in L'wren Scott desses

  Apparently not. Since reports are the hot designer destined for even more greatness (She even dressed our elegent first lady Michelle Obama) was not happy in the end.

  Image

  She was a towering figure. The former model was more than 6 feet tall-  Dwarfing her famous long time boyfriend Mick Jagger. But as we all know pain is pain, no matter how well dressed it is.  And my StyleSister Natasha and I, just wanted to mourn a life and show you the incredible dresses that came from the imagination of a mind  and a spirit who didn’t believe things would get better if she would just hold on one more day.

   Below are the dresses she created… just Fabulous.

Hi StyleStars!
I have lost my mind. I’m so obsessed with dresses.
Textured purple Dress $178 Cachet
Textured Purple Dress $178 Cache’

This is brand new for me. Ok here is the backstory. I was strictly a suit girl. If not a suit then definitely a blazer. I never left home without one. Back in the day it was required anchor wear. Check out the throwback photos.
WHIO THROWBACKWHIO CU
So now that those days are over. I had to move fast and re outfit my closet with dresses. And I love them. In all flavors. There are the leather accented ones.
Black Faux Leather Ponte Dress $158 Cachet
Mall favorite Cache’ has the cutest dresses -like ever! So I know by now you have something with faux leather on it. This leather trim number is $158 dollars.
I’m all about the Sheath Dress. Check out these dresses. There are The Cutouts, The Zip Fronts, The Asymmetrical ..love it! love it! love it!
Cobalt Cut Out Jacquard Sheath Dress $79 Cachet
Here is the Cutout. I recently bought a teal cutout dress. The particular one is from Cache’ on sale at $79.
Blue Zip Front Dress $188 Cachet
This pretty robin’s egg blue zip front is just waiting to bloom on a pretty spring day. It is $188 at Cache’.
Red Asymmetrical Neck Dress reg $158 on sale for $79 Cachet
And the Asymmetrical is sexy classy at $79 again on sale at Cache’.
I’m especially obsessed with unique takes on the dress. Color Block dresses were all the rage. Here is another twist using color. We all know about ombre hair, match it with the Ombre dress.
French Connection Ombre Jersey Dress $148
This flaming hot Ombre dress is by French Connection $148.
And 40 never looked so good. Diane Von Furstenberg’s iconic wrap dress turns 40 this year.
Diane von Furstenberg Tallulah Long Sleeve Woven Print Wrap Dress$445 Neimans
This is Furstenberg’s Tallulah. $445 Neiman’s. It is so chic and covers all flaws. No one wraps better! But Michael Kors is giving the wrap innovator a run with this number below.
Michael Kors Jersey Faux-Wrap Dress in Paprika was $1,295 now $453 Neimans
Michael Kors Faux wrap in Paprika. Even sounds delicious.

Cobalt animal Print Wrap Dress $158 Cachet
And this wrap dress has a twist. It’s got it all: metal accents, animal print, and a of course a body-hugging wrap. It is also more affordable StyleStars at Cache’ for $158. Funny I haven’t shopped in Cache’ in a while. Now my rare mall visits won’t be complete without checking in- and heading straight to the sale rack. Oh and one more thing about my dress obsession, it is mistake proof fashion. You slip on a cute dress and you are done. Flawless Fashion all in one. You grab, zip, and go. It’s polished, neat, and with the right fit extremely sexy. Oh yes I’m dress obsessed and can’t wait to step into spring dressed in a dress.
Thakoon Sleeveless Plunging Open Front $490 Neimans
This Thakoon plunging number for $490 at Neiman Marcus was a New York Fashion Week favorite.

The countdown is on– less than 3 weeks till the end of this winter from hell. In the meantime StyleStars get those dresses ready.
Ciao

Death of A Friend

  I got the news and was shocked, but sadly not surprised. After all, she was more than 90 years old. I was already in mourning. I still had not gotten over the passing of another friend.  Daffy’s died in the fall of 2012. I was at the funeral. Now that was hard.  My StyleStar sister Natasha and I really took it bad.  That’s because I was an active shopper at Daffy’s.  Loehmann’s was another story.  Like an aunt who had been a humdinger in her day, I saw the wear and tear around the edges years ago.  I of course still respected the legacy.  

  My first introduction to designer clothes came  from Loehmann’s.  I still have Adrienne Vittadini’s in my closet, and Dior and Anne Klein. I “lived” for the BackRoom.  And who can forget those crazy communal dressing rooms.  I remember the dressing room attendant screaming “Ladies don’t let Loehmann’s clothes drag on the floor”.  Then some stores installed private dressing rooms, then they MUST have gotten new buyers, then they started NOT  being as stylish.  There were times I went into my local Loehmann’s and walked right out. The stuff looked used.  After undergoing several reorganizations, the clothes did get a little better. The BackRoom at my local store was moved to the front of the store and consisted of a about a dozen “racks” of clothes. Like the flamboyant aunt who drank martinis and had fancy boyfriends I began to see she wasn’t laughing so carefree anymore. Her lipstick liner was crooked, wig looked worn, and those fancy boyfriends who were still alive, turned old and mean.  So now what? I haven’t gone yet to “get a deal” I frankly doubt I will find anything. But I will go say goodbye.

Image

  I just read today that the Loehmann’s name has been purchased by some investor and there is talk of re-creating it  on-line or selling sections to other stores. If you are on the mailing list you will probably get an email.  Daffy’s is doing the same thing. I get Daffy’s emails selling these overpriced pillows- annoying.  Ugh. It is not the same.  It will never be.

 

Vanessa

UPDATE Hi StyleStars after writing the above post this afternoon, I decided to go to my local Loehmann’s. Just a day or so after the news broke the store was already picked over. The staff was even dissembling displays! The lines were long and the dressing room chaotic. There was even the beginning of an incident when one woman didn’t wait her turn for a private dressing room. Well in the end it was worth it. I got a dress for 70% percent off.

Incredible find

Incredible find


Now that is a deal! Oh Loehmann’s I will miss you. Stay tuned my StyleStar sister and I are planning a trip to the best Loehmann’s in the tri-state- located in Chelsea. May have to bring a box of tissues. We will update if shopping is insane.
Vanessa
