Maison: Fun, Flirty and Sophisticated for Spring 2011

Maison Spring 2011 VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL

Designer Wendy Wong pushes the sartorial envelope via classic spring silhouettes with a twist (and perhaps a drape and pleat or two). Maison also has some tricks up its sleeve with surprising side jersey cowls, digital prints and pulls of chiffon. Sophisticated and feminine, Maison is a must know and must have for any style maker with an eye for crowd pleasers.
 
And what does Wong insist upon? Creamy and dreamy fabrics that she scours the world for. “When I see a fabric I just know: you’re the one. I touch a fabric and I can automatically see the garments. I feel it then I build a piece around it.” As her designs grow organically from a choice fabric, trust in a perfect marriage of feel and fit.
 
While there’s much in the collection that’s worth praising, a few stand out pieces include:
 
Vienna: An effortless number with a profound digital silk print that resonates of abstract watercolors. Look closely to see cranes in the print that emerge as if from a reflecting pool. The ruffles along the top add movement to the fluid print and the elastically cinched waist gently brings the figure into focus. Suggested retail price: $187
 
Venice: This piece nods to Wong’s talent for twisting, draping and pleating. The dress is made of silk and asserts the right amount of frills without the fuss. The fabric drapes from the waist to opposite shoulder, and then falls to embrace the bottom half curves in a most graceful way. Indeed a delectable sartorial treat. Suggested retail price: $242
 
Sway: Sweet and pretty, this piece is noteworthy for day and spot on for night. The silhouette is flattering and curve celebrating and the chiffon one shoulder draping adds interesting movement and sophisticated detail. The ladylike sentiment of the dress resonates with anyone with an appreciation for vintage. Suggested retail price: $242
 
Mist: Shorts with paper bag waist. The fit is expertly tailored and the fabric is full without being bulky. The high waist begs for a tucked in shirt and the length is just right. These shorts are a strong basic on the way towards a knock out ensemble. Suggested retail price: $143

Winter Stop ‘N’ Swaps Offer Cure for Post-Holiday Clutter

As 2011 begins, so does the annual ritual of cleaning out the old and beginning anew.  Familiar resolutions of being more organized and having a smaller environmental footprint raise the same question: what to do with all this “stuff?”

GrowNYC, a local environmental non-profit, offers one solution with Stop ‘N’ Swap events which will span the five boroughs in January and February.  The community is invited to bring unwanted but still usable items to donate to a good home.  Participants can also bring a bag and fill up on items they would like to take with them.  The group asks that all items be portable so others can easily carry them away. 

From books and toys to fashionable clothing, house wares and working electronics, items come and go throughout the day, landing quickly in the welcome hands of a new owner.  Whatever is left at the end is sorted and donated or recycled.  The group estimates that 90% or more of what comes in ends up getting reused. 

GrowNYC has partnered with local schools, a library branch and community group to co-host a winter swap in each borough: 

Bronx (Mott Haven): Saturday, February 5, 11am-2pm
BronxWorks Betances Community Center
547 E. 146th St at St. Ann’s Ave
 
Queens (Jackson Heights): Saturday, February 12, 11am-2pm
Renaissance Charter School, basement cafeteria
35-59 81st St. b/t 37th & 35th Aves
 
Brooklyn (Ft. Greene): Saturday, February 26, 11am-2pm
M.S. 113 lobby, 300 Adelphi Street b/t DeKalb and Lafayette

For more information, visit us at www.grownyc.org/swap.

Stop ‘N’ Swaps have developed a regular following among the thrifty and environmentally conscious.  “Stop ‘N’ Swaps have hit at the right time. In this economy, they’re a great way for residents to find things they need without having to pay and they are reducing the amount of garbage that NYC generates,” said GrowNYC Executive Director Marcel Van Ooyen. “In fact, it’s a triple-win; in addition to economic and environmental benefits, they also build community as New Yorkers come out and meet their neighbors.”
“While our primary mission is to help increase recycling in NYC, reusing items is even better, as waste is prevented at no cost,” said Christina Salvi, the Assistant Director of GrowNYC’s Office of Recycling Outreach and Education.

Hair Style How To: Nicole Kidman at the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards

Modern elegance was David Babaii's inspiration for Nicole Kidman's SAG red carpet look.

Starting with clean hair, David applied his new favorite must have product called Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment to her entire head. It is rich in moisture-restoring antioxidants, Vitamin A, E, proteins and lipids. The Pequi Oil Treatment instantly absorbs and won't weigh hair down. Next, he blow dried Nicole's hair with the IT&Y HAIRFASHION Ionic Dryer that supplies super-fast drying power along with a large round brush to achieve a sleek straight finish. After the hair was dried, he gently back combed the top and sides for volume and then smoothed the surface. To begin the up-do, he swept the hair gently over creating a faux side-part and brining the rest of the hair to the center back and securing with a band just at the top of the nape. David wrapped the hair into an un-structured Chignon and securing with bobby pins. The secret was not to over comb or smooth the hair but to allow the hair to create a soft natural look. To finish, he used additional Pequi Oil to her bang area to define strands. For added glamour, David added a subtle decorative clip to the side.

Get the Red Carpet Look: Hilary Swank’s Bombshell Curls at the SAG Awards

“Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role” nominee and award presenter Hilary Swank wore her hair long, loose and sexy for the SAG Awards tonight. 

Wearing a soft, champagne-colored Versace gown, she looked red-carpet perfect.

The “Conviction” actress’ gorgeous hair was designed by leading Hollywood stylist, Robert Vetica, who was inspired by the sensual lines of her dress and the hairstyles of iconic 60’s Hollywood siren and Bond girl, Ursula Andress.

Vetica shared how he created the beautiful look:
 
“I started by blow-drying Hilary’s hair using Moroccanoil Treatment to instantly condition, bring any dry ends back to life and make her hair easier to style.  It also gave the hair a brilliant, natural-looking shine.
 
After the hair was dried, I did a full head set by curling 1” by 1” sections of hair, starting at the nape of the neck, then pinned to the head. These were real,full base curls, not spiral curls.  I continued section by section until I reached the crown, then finished the sides and top of the head. When I finished, it had the look of a 60’s roller set, which could have been done using hot rollers.
 
I gave the set a good spray of Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray and let it sit for 20 minutes, to insure a good, healthy-looking set.
 
To finish, I removed the set and gave it a good brushing. Next, I took a small amount of Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream to give the hair a touch of weight and ensure body.
 
I then gave the hair a good backcombing at the root and sprayed again. I brushed out most of the backcombing except at the crown, running my fingers through the hair to loosen it up. I then backcombed a bit more at the crown, gave it another spray and lightly brushed over the top.
 
Moroccanoil products are sold exclusively in fine salons. Consumers can find the nearest salon by visiting http://www.moroccanoil.com.

Gwen Stefani Signs on as the New International Face of L'Oreal Paris

A unique voice, a fashion icon, a rock star... Gwen Stefani is clearly a phenomenon of the 21st century. The front woman of rock band No Doubt, she also released two highly successful dance records, which furthered her iconic status. L'Oreal Paris is extremely pleased to welcome her today as the brand's new face.

“I can't believe I get to be one of the L'Oreal Paris girls. I love playing dress up, on stage or shooting videos, it's always been one of my favorite parts of being in a band. And to get to work with such a modern, talented group of people is really exciting. I'm a lucky, lucky girl", says Gwen Stefani.

 

Gwen Stefani is fascinating. She has been a member of the band No Doubt since they met in high school and began playing music in their garage. A composer, songwriter and singer, Gwen Stefani has given a voice to millions of girls across the world. No Doubt has sold more than 30 million copies of their albums including Tragic Kingdom, Return of Saturn and Rock Steady. The band received many Grammy nominations and won two in 2003.
Gwen's icon status continued to grow with the release of her Grammy-nominated side project Love. Angel. Music. Baby. which came out in 2004.

In 2006, Gwen released her second dance record The Sweet Escape and won the 2008 People's Choice Award for favorite female singer of the year.

Red Carpet Worthy Hair: Amy Adams at the Golden Globes

Golden Globes nominee for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Feature Film, Amy Adams, looked radiant as she wore a gorgeous strapless Marchesa gown with her fabulous red hair worn in a flowing, back-braided updo created by celebrity stylist Laini Reeves.
  
Laini Reeves explains how the look was styled:
 
I wanted to create a soft 20’s mood, but in a different, modern way.  We started by changing the texture of her hair before we went on to loosely braid and roll the chignon. 
 
Amy has a beautiful, full and thick head of hair and a nice, natural wave. We started by washing her hair with Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo which infuses the hair with argan oil, keratins, fatty acids, and proteins. Combined with Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Conditioner, it immediately controlled the hair and left it smoother, frizz free and easy to manage and style.
 
I then applied Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream, $31.80, while it was drying, from root to end to give soft hold while further smoothing the texture and adding definition and shine. I rough-dried the hair with my hands to get the water out and created a bit of a messed up texture with a slight touch of wave for a more modern, freer look.  The hair was air dried except at the roots, where I used a blow dryer.
 
Next, I used a 1” curling iron to make curls in different parts of the hair that needed to be filled in and then smoothed and blended them in.  I made a side part and prepared some pieces from the front of the hair to frame her face, pinning them in an “S”-shape and away from the rest of the hair.
 
I gathered and pulled back the rest of hair, made a loose braid that I doubled up, rolled upwards and pinned at the nape, with the cross texture side of the braid showing.  Only five thick bobby pins were used to secure the style in place. 
 
Finally, I released the “S”-shaped sections in the front and pinned them behind the ear to open her face up and to show off her cheek bones.  I then sprayed the look with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray, $21.00, to keep everything in place with movable shine, without looking like it was sprayed.

Spring 2011 Trend: Pantsy Lady

For Spring 2011 The Limited brings out classics & staples with little twists.

One of my favorite trends that will get mileage between right now, spring and even early fall of 2011. The skinny cargo, I love it in an olive drab color, dressed up with a trench and pumps worn to work. Cropped & dropped-waisted are two twists that The Limited puts on khakis making them playful!

A fuller pant makes a comeback in the form of a trouser, not so menswear inspired but more 70’s chic think Bianca Jagger or Anjelica Huston looking leggy in breezy yet structured pants.

The Good Shoe Project: Payless & World Vision - Free shoes for children in El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala

Payless is making it easier and affordable to give to children in need with the launch of The Good Shoe Project. Whenever a customer purchases the exclusive Airwalk Hopeshoe for $19.99 at Payless or www.payless.com between Dec. 15, 2010,  through Feb. 14, 2011, the retailer commits to giving a free pair of kids' shoes to a child in need in Central America through a new alliance with humanitarian organization World Vision. 
 
Through this two-month sales event held at Payless.com and all Payless stores in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, the retailer said it will donate, at minimum, 100,000 pairs of free children’s shoes to be distributed next year to children in need in El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala. The retailer said it expects shopper interest in this shoe-giving program to be strong and that it expects to donate more than the minimum pairs.
 
Payless is dedicated to democratizing the latest fashion, design and ideas in footwear and accessories for all to enjoy – and that means democratizing giving programs too. The Good Shoe Project was developed as a result of consumers' desire to be more involved in the process of giving to children in need. It is a strong complement to the Payless Gives Shoes 4 Kidsgiving program that was first launched in 2008 and has resulted in Payless giving 3.4 million in free shoes to kids during the holidays.

Kim Kardashian on Bigger Lips: 'I Have the Flu'

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian talked to "Extra" about a recent rumor that she had lip enhancement. Yup, we went straight to the mouth that roared.

"That's not true. Trust me, I've tried Botox on the show," Kardashian confessed to "Extra" at the E! Television Critics Assn junket. "I'm the first one to talk about anything that I do. It really pisses me off that all of these plastic surgery rumors are always linked to me."

Kim continued, "I have the flu. I'm puffy and swollen, and I have no make-up on. Why would I just do my bottom lip? My top lip was smaller and my bottom lip was huge and I'm thinking that would be the worst doctor on earth to do one lip and not the other. It's definitely something that I would never do. I think my lips are big enough to my taste level."
