The minis

The inspiration behind the look at Kenzo: Stanley Kubrick meets India. So how exactly does that translate to beauty?

Easy! A strong eye and illuminated skin. Aaron de May (another makeup genius) moved away from the traditional cat eye with the liner underneath, creating more of a tough, street look. The eyeliner was paired with strong brows and clear, glossy lids (using MAC’s famous Lip Glass). The skin was super highlighted (a good highlighter is one of my favorite products,…

Garance and I don’t always have the same tastes when it comes to fashion and accessories. Our most recent difference of opinion: backpacks.

I decided this fashion week, I wanted to be a backpack girl. Why?

1. The recent pre-fall collections— they were full of cool backpacks (check out Alexander Wang and Phillip Lim).
2. Laurel’s super cool Meredith Wendell backpack.
3. The fact that I’m sporting a camera this fashion week (eek!) and am looking for ways to be as hands free as…

One of my favorite things about covering backstage beauty is getting to take a look at the face charts at each show.

I love seeing the instructions given to the artists for the makeup application and the way the look is described. I wouldn’t be opposed to someone putting together a face chart for me to follow everyday…

PS: This chart was backstage at Isabel Marant!

I went by the Jimmy Choo presentation the other day and fell in love with these ballet flats!

So feminine, so precious, so delicate that I perfectly imagine them with an evening gown or even a tuxedo. Super, extra chic, with a special “dance all night” option. Yay!

Kisses! Garance

This fashion week, three of us girls are staying in an apartment together and I have never been more aware of my beauty routine and the amount of products I pack when traveling…

Emily has three neat little bottles next to the sink and looks like a million bucks with just a few swipes of mascara (her eyelashes are about 6 inches long). I can’t even get started on Camila, her daily routine includes shampoo and a bottle of olive oil (more on that another time).

Let’s be honest, I…

Like Alex said, we love reminiscing about our favorite fashion memories at the Studio. Since we just arrived in Paris, I thought I would share memories of my first Paris fashion week with you.

One year ago last week I found myself sitting in the Studio at 8pm, watching the live stream of the Proenza Schouler show.

I watched the looks walk down the runway and waited for Garance and our Pardon My French crew to make their way back to the studio. When they arrived, Garance asked to…

Thanks for yesterday’s comments !!
Here is what’s missing in my bag :

1/ A snack in case of emergency. Super important to me, for some reason I can’t function if I am hungry. And when I am hungry, I throw myself on any chocolate bar I can find. Bouh ! It happened to me once again this afternoon.

2/ Mints! Super extra important thing to have for fashion week where the days are long and you meet a loooot of people. If you know what I mean.

3/ A wallet! I am looking for a small,…

Last week, the excellent website The Business of Fashion published a story about me and my blog.

I had already told you how I work here, but this is a different kind of perspective. And as many people talked about it on Twitter (it totally trended ;), I told myself you might want to hear about it!
