Best Street Style 2012 – Miranda Kerr
Miranda Kerr makes the world her runway. The sidewalks of New York City and her hometown of Sydney are no match for this Australian supermodel (and supermom), who has incredible street style.
She boasts the uncanny ability to look effortlessly chic and oh-so-sophisticated—even when she’s balancing her son, Flynn, on her hip.
When she’s not strutting down the Victoria’s Secret catwalk or posing for her next big fashion campaign (she’s the new face of Mango for Spring 2013), Miranda is still camera-ready with her trendsetting staples.
She does uptown glam—think pencil skirts, structured frocks and diaphanous blouses—as easily as downtown cool, showing off her long, lean pins in Current/Elliott skinny jeans, leather leggings and chic shorts.
And she’s not afraid to rock a good animal print or exploded floral pattern, or a pair of oversized, python-embossed Linda Farrow shades.
Alexander Wang, Equipment, Isabel Marant, Maison Martin Margiela and Victoria Beckham all occupy places of supreme importance in Miranda’s personal closet; so do Manolo Blahniks, Prada loafers and Marant’s ankle booties.
Plus, when this stunning star isn’t carrying her favorite Givenchy “Antigona” tote (or her adorable Yorkshire terrier, Frankie) while she’s out and about, she has another handsome accessory to tout—hubby Orlando Bloom.

W-H-A-T??????????
Front Row Fashion Bloggers | Photo: Yvan Rodic, Facehunter
Today, in a guest Op-Ed piece, Jennine Jacob, founder of Independent Fashion Bloggers, exposes a transparency problem that threatens the future of the business of blogging.
NEW YORK, United States — Old media often seems to portray fashion bloggers as publishers gone rogue: online personalities thirsting for free product or paid public appearances. Ruth La Ferla’s recent piece in The New York Times, “New York Fashion Week Street Style Is Often a Billboard for Brands,” suggests that it’s common practice for bloggers to accept payments from designer brands in return for wearing their product at fashion week with the goal of being shot by street style photographers.
Numerous media outlets picked up the story. But when pressed, several people who were interviewed for the original article denied having first hand knowledge of an actual, specific instance in which a brand had paid a blogger to wear its products for the purpose of being photographed for street style sites.
Nonetheless, many people believed that the activities depicted in the story could very well be true. Evidence or not, they sounded plausible enough. More that anything, I think this points to the fact that fashion bloggers have a serious transparency problem. They are far too hush-hush about the business side of blogging, which can lead people to assume the worst.
Bloggers need to generate income. Brands need to reach consumers. Partnerships are natural. And when a partnership between brand and blogger is successful, it can work wonders for both parties. The Man Repeller’s collaboration with Gryphon and From Me to You’s work with Tiffany, Veuve Clicquot and Oscar de La Renta come to mind.
Indeed, for me, the critical issue surfaced by La Ferla’s piece isn’t that bloggers are partnering with brands, but the obvious lack of transparency around some of these partnerships.
Unsurprisingly, many bloggers are shy about discussing the brands they are working with for fear of losing credibility with their audience. But if a blogger doesn’t feel good about disclosing a particular brand partnership or they fear a revolt from their readers, they probably shouldn’t be doing it.
Unfortunately, traditional fashion media doesn’t set a particularly good example when it comes to transparency. While newspapers like The New York Times enforce strict ‘church and state’ separation between their editorial and advertising departments, many fashion magazines preach these principles, while, in reality, adopting ‘pay for play’ policies that ensure top advertisers get favourable editorial coverage.
Bloggers often act alone, or in small teams, meaning that content decisions and business decisions are often made by the same people and true ‘church and state’ separation can be impractical to implement. Nonetheless, bloggers should strive to be more transparent and clearly distinguish between editorial and advertising.
Shouldn’t readers know if a bag a blogger fawns over in a post was gifted by a brand? Shouldn’t they know if a blogger was paid to write a post about a certain pair of shoes?
Thus far, perhaps not enough bloggers have lost their credibility to enforce a universal code of ethics around this issue. But I believe strongly that the community could benefit from a more transparent approach. Do readers need to know the financial details of a blogger’s brand partnerships? No. But the difference between editorial and advertising should always be clear.
Come to think of it, bloggers have a responsibility to be more transparent with their brand partners, as well. Honest campaign reporting, using inexpensive tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Insights, Hootsuite, TweetReach, Statigram and Bit.ly can help brands better understand and quantify the impact bloggers can bring to the table.
Ultimately, greater transparency with both readers and brand partners is in the long-term interests of fashion bloggers, because businesses built on smoke and mirrors can only work for so long.

Question: Would you like a Style-Guru for Men?
If you were searching for great looking “skinny jeans” for men, where would you start? I mean, really…how would you go about the mission of starting an undyingly long, and passively-aggressive hunt to scout out your best pair of men’s jeans? They would have to be in your size, and definitely fit the masculine physic, and totally take the guess-work out of being the perfect pair for you, right?
Would you consult an online “style-wizard” after recording all of the necessary data that creates a personal style-profile of casual, black tie, or anytime clothing, just for your favorite and essential things? Maybe, the answer is always, “yes,” but never who, what, where, when, or how do I find this style tool with digital techniques to find exactly what the style trend, obsession, or object of fashion desire (is for any season)!
Just when you’ve lost all hope of finding the best stores to shop from, and you are still waiting around for the perfect outfit to wear, don't give up yet because there is a Style Pilot navigating the online fashion wears to have for any man's closet!
Just think, is it fair enough to combine most of the world's most fabulous outfitters in one main place and establish "chic-at-a-glance?" For your essential wardrobe and style potential to become exactly the type of clothing you've always dreamed of, your style buttons have to be pushed to react to what it is you've wanted all along! If you'd like to give up unnecessary jaunts to the mall and heavy shopping excursions that make you jump in and out of your car, for tiny pieces of clothing that won't fit your budget or maintain your well-established push in the right direction, then give the internet one more try!
Locating your best looks are going to be only minutes away, because internet shopping has never been so easy! This new type of shopping site for men helps chart and find every stitch of clothing that goes with every fashion-wish a man could ever dream up! Getting every style recommendation displayed directly on your personal computer is a "no-brainer" after you have the knack! All it takes is a few short minutes of locating exactly what it is you wanted in a year-round wardrobe that makes looking good an inevitable journey of instant gratification!
The main reason for the above introspective look into the existing reasons for the lack of shopping inspiration for men, and how to re-trigger its fruition, can be a quest in itself. So, many designers and technicians have been enabling other types of shopping into the world of men's deepest fashion wishes to make outfitting an even greater success in keeping up with the dress code for ages to come.
If you are having trouble being the “online” recipient of awesome wardrobe updates and are always having style dilemmas, then make the click over to a guru of your own! Fill out your profile and discover recommendations to hoist your attitude and fashion confidence through the roof! Make any occasion a chance to hone in on the skill of internet shopping and become an instant style maverick with ease!
Just push a button and hover over to the best fashion designs ever made for men! Watch for any season, any occasion, and any type of style to invite itself onto your style profile and make looking great something you used to worry about! If you have a favorite guy in your life that gets a little bit stale when it comes to finding, purchasing, and fitting into great clothing, you may want him to have some help.

Double Your Runway Success with A Gallery of Supermodels
By the time the clock struck 7:00 on Sunday evening, the fashion crowd was ready to get going. The sun was setting and the weather on the Avery Fisher Hall balcony at Lincoln Center was perfectly breezy -- bring on the Zac Posen Spring/Summer 2013 collection!
Except that 15, then 30 then 45 minutes went by and Posen's show still hadn't started. "Divas," a fellow show-goer said to me. "Must be those divas backstage holding things up."
He was probably right, because after about 45 minutes of waiting, the lights came on and out walked Zac Posen's first model of the night: Naomi Campbell. Following her were Karolina Kurkova, Alek Wek, Angela Lindvall and the jaw-droppingly gorgeous Coco Rocha, who presented the finale dress, a creamy, multi-tiered bridal look, to an awe-struck crowd.
There were other impressive elements to Posen's show, including an impressive array of current modeling stars (Lindsey Wixson, Hilary Rhoda, Isabeli Fontana and Posen fave Crystal Renn) and a star-studded front row (Kelly Osbourne! Lourdes Leon!) But it was the Supers in all their glory that stunned everyone, particularly because one had said she wasn't walking Fashion Week at all.
Coco Rocha, one of Posen's most loyal fashion friends, tweeted last Friday, "This September would have been my 17th season of runway, but I’m sitting it out to film The Face. :)" But Rocha's upcoming role as a mentor on "The Face," a modeling competition series airing on Oxygen next year, didn't keep her nor her "The Face" co-mentors, Campbell and Kurkova, from Posen's runway.
Which leads us to believe that perhaps Posen will play some sort of role in the upcoming TV series, too. Fingers crossed!
Check out photos from Posen's beautiful Spring/Summer 2013 show and all his super pals.

The guy from "Barney's New York" shares his NIGHTMARE!
SIMON DOONAN'S FASHION WEEK NIGHTMARE EXPLAINED...
Anyone who works in the industry has had ‘em: A fashion week related nightmare. We asked designers, editors and stylists to share theirs with us, and then we asked our friend (and super talented artist) Mara Sprafkin illustrate them. Don’t be scared…
To kick off the series, Erin Fetherston told us about her nightmare involving a stolen
collection and a Smurf-colored jacket. Next up, the incomparable Simon Doonan, Barneys’ Creative Ambassador-at-Large, has nightmares about watching
his dog dry-hump a model on the runway–while he looks on from standing!
I arrive at the Tents and nobody says hello and nobody tries to take my picture. What AM I? Chopped liver? I am carrying my dog Liberace. I brought him along to make a great photo op. Nobody seems to agree with me. We move through the crowd and nobody ambushes me about their new web site and nobody stuffs a resume in my hand and begs for a job. Nobody even makes eye contact. Gradually I realize how much I always enjoyed being “bothered” by young hopefuls whenever I arrived at the shows. I look for my seat.
EEK! I am in “standing”…which means I am staring at the back of somebody’s legs. (I’m short.) Suddenly I realize that Liberace has escaped. The show begins. I peak through my neighbors legs Liberace bum rushes the first model and begins humping her leg…I wake up screaming.

View 25 LAZY ways to stay SKINNY!
Lean and lazy
We can't go on the Internet anymore without learning of a new diet tip that is designed to make us lose five pounds in five minutes and three dress sizes by the weekend. And yet some women always appear healthy and thin while never seeming to feed into these crazy diet fads, or even dieting at all! To find out how they – The Skinny Women – do it, we asked two nutritionists to weigh in on some of the best and easy lifestyle choices that you will make to feel healthy and look great.
1. Don't deprive yourself
"Enjoy the foods you love in moderation," encourages Amy Shapiro MS, RD, CND, of Real Nutrition NYC. "No single food makes you gain weight, the portions are what matters."
2. Eat until you feel satisfied, not full
You've heard this before. Etiquette author Emily Post believed that a polite lady should put down her fork between every bite, a technique that also helps you realize when to stop eating before you feel bloated.
3. Make sure half of your plate contains veggies
"Vegetables are filled with fiber and water so they fill you up without filling you out," says Shapiro.
4. When ordering out, always order a small
"Whether it be coffee, salads, soups, frozen yogurt," says Stephanie Middleberg, MS, RD, CDN of Middleberg Nutrition. "If you want to be small, order that way."
5. Know yourself
"If you can't limit pick-able foods (chips, nuts, grapes, candy, etc.), then make sure you stick to single serving portions, such as handheld fruit, individually-wrapped hummus, nut or nut butter packets," Middleberg explains.
6. Enjoy a salad or soup to start the meal when you dine out
"Both fill you up with low calories and leave less room for the main course," tells Shapiro.
7. Skip the breadbasket
Shapiro warns, "It's just empty calories. My clients follow the pick your "poison" rule: Bread, Drinks or Dessert. You can enjoy one but not all"

Did you know France has a "Glove Capital?"
It all goes back to Roquefort. The little Aveyron town of Millau, recently rendered world famous by its soaring new viaduct, became France's glove capital thanks to the thin, supple and beautiful lambskin from the same breed of sheep whose milk is used to make the famous cheese. Glove making in Millau dates back to the Middle Ages, and by the early 20th century the city was the major supplier of hand-cut and hand-sewn gloves to haute couture houses worldwide, peaking in 1963 when 82 gantiers plied their trade there. But changing fashions and the arrival of synthetics whittled that number down to one—Causse. The company was sold in 2003, but fourth-generation glovemaker Olivier Causse is still involved, now working with prize-winning designers Nadine Carel and Manuel Rubio in a luminous new showplace in Millau designed by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Applying traditional skills to exotic skins including ostrich, python and zebra, Gants Causse caters to such luxury clients as Chanel, Hermès and Saint Laurent, but also produces high-quality gloves under its own, more affordable label. The first Causse boutique, also Wilmotte-designed, recently opened near the Place Vendôme in Paris.

Why use permanent make up and cosmetics?
Permanent cosmetics are used when women become disabled

This technique was developed
inside of cosmetic service spas(s); where women can go to have all kinds of
treatments that create looks for lasting, beautiful
and naturally alluring aesthetics! The
amazing part of this type of contemporary permanent makeup is that is was
completely designed around the medical cosmetic industry for people who are so
allergic to regular makeup that makes it hard for them not to loss their hair or eyebrows, if
worn too much!
No more! Now, with this new technology from "Glow Day
Spa," anyone who has major issues with sensitivity to applied, over the counter,
store-bought makeup, can look great again! There makeup treatments are all
permanent and clinically safe, proven to bring out a clients best and most

How To Apply Bright Eyeliner (Hint: You've Been Skipping A Step)
When it comes to bold beauty looks, we prefer not to sit on the sidelines. Bring on the strong lips, punched-up nails, and, in this case, the super-bright eyeliner. You (read: we) may have tried this before — grabbing the closest and boldest shade and swiping it on without much finesse — and the results were more hot mess(y) than magical. Thankfully, College Fashion has sufficiently schooled us with this step-by-step guide that breaks down this fun beauty look for you (again, read: us).
There are a few tricks to remember here that the video points out, and the most important one is to first sweep the line with white eyeliner once you've applied a base and light shadow to start. The pink liner (or any color of your choice) is then applied with a slanted brush on top of the white to achieve a makeup look that has a subtle flash of color. It's not overpowering or gimmicky, but it's sure to make a statement, and that ranks high in our book. Click over to check out the full tutorial. (College Fashion)

Why "light" technology for anti-aging and acne treatments?
Via: Tanda Skincare
Anti-aging Skin Treatments with Light Technology has Arrived!
Are you are a skeptic about acne preventative measures and corrections due to how your skin may have re-acted in the past...from drying out or spot-formulation due to over-scrubing or bleaching; then this new technology with "blue-light" may be the product for you? There's no bleaching or tampering with skin that is sensitive from outer creme applications with this treatment or burning experienced by anyone! "Tanda ZAP" uses scientifically proven methods in advanced "blue light" technology to get the job done! Gentle sonic vibrations and non-abrasive control keeps even the most watched social fashionista's from being without her return to the "spotlight!"
Especially when her skin is in treatment-mode! If you are looking for two systems to cool, correct, and stablize "facial renewal," in a method that requires no actual contact with overly-abrasive treatments then anti-aging "red light" is just the application for anyone with advanced treatment techniques in mind. All of the micro-circulation that gently rejuvanates your skins' upper-derma to a newer, more fresher looking youthful facial appearance is in the "red light." Increase your chances of looking great well into your maturing (formative) years, even after long nights out on the town with over-consumption of happy-hour cocktails and lack of facial moisturizer.
This "Tanda Luxe" (red light technology) is a modern in-home method, that takes minutes to apply and begin to feel fresh and look younger, again! Let fine lines and wrinkles be a thing of the past, let go of redness, dry skin and burning. Treat yourself to new infra-red and blue light treatments that focus on anti-aging and acne spot-treatments for overnight recovery!

I love Kristen Wiig for many reasons, and it’s been so interesting to watch her red carpet style evolve as her career grew from a “Saturday Night Live” cast member to a major movie star and Academy Award nominee. This outfit, which she wore to a “Friends With Kids” after-party, is such a fun throwback to 70s style.

I am wondering if moving to California will introduce me to people who take less of a role in trying to parent children other than their own. I was surfing the internet looking to satellitetvsantaanaca.com to look for some extra channels to add to our normal routine. One of the shows I like to watch is “Super Nanny.” I guess the reason I am drawn to this show is that I, like all parents, sometimes feel like I am failing miserably at raising my kids. Children are so different in personality and motivation, so the way you can reach one child is certainly no guarantee that this method will work for another child. The other thing that I like about that show is it allows parents to parent their own child. Super Nanny really does empower parents so that they may be the guiding role in the lives of their children. This really stuck out to me a few weekends ago when we vacationed with another family. My oldest daughter took something away from my younger one, and even though I was just in the next room, the mom of the other family took it upon herself to reprimand my child. My daughter was mortified and ran out of the room in tears. While I appreciated the level of comfort amongst our families, I really did not appreciate this other mother brandishing my child. I was within ear-shot of my kids, and I was ready and able to rectify the situation. I think there is a time and a place for parenting someone else’s children, and this is very limited. I think it is only acceptable if a child is in danger, or the parents are unable to be present at the time. Other than that, back off!
I am wondering if moving to California will introduce me to people who take less of a role in trying to parent children other than their own. I was surfing the internet looking to satellitetvsantaanaca.com to look for some extra channels to add to our normal routine. One of the shows I like to watch is “Super Nanny.” I guess the reason I am drawn to this show is that I, like all parents, sometimes feel like I am failing miserably at raising my kids. Children are so different in personality and motivation, so the way you can reach one child is certainly no guarantee that this method will work for another child.

Sometimes the HEAT is just too much for a working girl!
Former Intern is Suing Harper's Bazaar...here is the story...
In news that is really only surprising because it’s never happened before, a major fashion magazine is getting sued by one of its former interns.
According to the New York Times, Xuedan Wang interned at Harper’s Bazaar from August 2010 through December 2011 for 40-55 hours per week and today filed a lawsuit against Hearst (the fashion glossy’s publisher) accusing them of violating state and federal wage and hour laws by not paying her when she was doing the work of a paid employee.
From the Times:
The lawsuit against Hearst states, “Employers’ failure to compensate interns for their work, and the prevalence of the practice nationwide, curtails opportunities for employment, fosters class divisions between those who can afford to work for no wage and those who cannot, and indirectly contributes to rising unemployment.”Over the years, there have been as many articles about the legality and fairness of unpaid internships (like ours about how absurd they can be) as there have been about hipsters and gluten-free diets–which is to say, a lot. However, there was a big one that ran in the New York Times back in April 2010 that came closest to providing solid answers. It called out a list of federal legal criteria that must be satisfied in order for an unpaid internship to be considered legal and suggested that the Federal Labor Department would start enforcing them more strongly. This criteria seems to be what Wang and her law firm are using to sue Hearst.
When we wrote about the 2010 story, our friends at Above the Law said these internships were usually considered legal as long as the intern received school credit. However, Wang had already graduated and was working full time doing, reportedly, fairly menial tasks like coordinating pickups and deliveries and maintaining records (and ordering around more low-level interns to do even more menial things).
This circumstance of college grads having to work unpaid internships for lack of more lucrative opportunities is becoming increasingly common. I personally know a couple of people who have done this at equally prominent companies and it’s easy to see why. It prevents gaps in employment and, if you’re lucky and valued, can often help lead to a full time job at the company once one becomes available.
Presumably, this wasn’t the case for Wang and so, we feel her pain. Though we’re a little confused by why she was allowed to intern at HB full-time, obviously without school credit. A friend of mine who interned in the fashion department of a different Hearst publication confirmed that all interns have to be able to receive school credit and submit a letter from their school to HR–meaning Wang’s internship was probably somewhat under the table.
The situation definitely isn’t black and white and it will be interesting to see if more Hearst interns will come forward. Wang and her law firm claim the company has employed hundreds of illegal interns and hope to create class action lawsuit, so employers at Elle, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen and Town & Country better start crossing their T’s and dotting their I’s.

Body Jewelry, Ear Cuffs, Vintage Baubles, and More at Alibi
Parsons grad Jo Liu learned the industry ropes working with fashion designer Jen Kao, jewelry designer Tina Tang, and handbag designer Suen-Cooper. Last month, she launched her own downtown-cool, budget-friendly jewelry shop in Nolita, stocking the cases with designers from New York, Los Angeles, and Asia. The narrow space is artfully decorated, with display cases enclosed by refinished vintage frames, dusky gray walls, and a mix of antique and modern furniture. The spot originally opened showcasing pieces from Jo's own label, Littlesthings, and just three other lines; the selection has since expanded to a roster of ten designers. Most of the pieces extend outside of the typical semiprecious-stone/sterling-silver trinket array, with offbeat offerings like embellished sweater clips from Dirty Librarian Chains, body jewelry and ear cuffs by Armor, mixed vintage arrangements by Archive, and coral-like nylon-silicon bracelets by Nervous Systems. The wares span from $15 charms to $250 mixed-chain necklaces, but most hover in the affordable $50 to $100 range. Click ahead to check out some of our favorite pieces in store.

Oh, that's why I thought you were a Movie Star!
Ladies, let's admit that we can't live without the beautiful luxury that exists in the way we love fur! I know to say the word LOVE means that we are totally committed to the chic and class of wearing fur. However, there are lots of ways to get the looks that work every time and make a stunning appearance (in fur) even more glamorous and attainable. I know the way others covet and envy the wearer of fur vests or a fur jacket, especially in places like California or Florida where the weather usually does not call for anything heavier than a sports jacket. If a woman is wearing some great fur look, especially for fashion it means she is a modern fashionista or a movie star (actress) or maybe even a "super-model!" The reason we all know this is because the minute a fur is worn, we know it is a great way to make a really stunning look out of something like a coat or jacket or other accessory! Fur is simply the best way to upgrade or upscale a casual look that will go the distance and work every time it is put on. I guess that's the reason the makers of furs all the way to Denver, Colorado are still going strong! You can get stunning fur coats and fur vests for sale that are beautifully done Pink Rabbit Fur, Black Rabbit Fur & Red Rabbit Fur etc! I love the online display of the myriad of options in fashion styles to shop or browse and bookmark, until that little "wish list" is made! For gifts, special occasions, events, gala's and parties putting a fur on means a remarkable definition in class has located the "spotlight!"

AMAZON PRIME
Thanks to Darwin Barton
I started using my CLEAR Internet connection to buy household things and save a lot of money. I have been ordering things like toilet paper, paper towels, and spices from Amazon.com. They have a couple of perks if you order things from them. If you join Amazon Prime, you get free two day shipping. You have to pay a yearly subscription fee, but it is not much and you end up saving money on shipping in the long run. Also, they can set you up on something called auto order. Every week, month, or however often you need something, it will automatically ship to your home. It has made my shopping routine a lot easier. I am not having to run back and forth to the grocery store everyday like I used to have to do. I even told my Mom about it and she has started using Amazon for non-perishables around the house. We have both saved a lot of money and made our lives easier. The internet has definitely made household shopping less of a chore!
