Retro Looks In The Modern World: My Generation

As much as the modern fashion world looks forward it also continually looks back in time. Here we explore Retro Looks in the Modern World.

1960's looks are all over the September issues. Elle Canada is giving us Twiggy inspired beauty in this spread called My Generation.

Mid-Week Inspiration: Be Beautiful!

I need this to be my mantra. 

Take the time, Ladies!

For more inspiration, any day of the week, follow me on Pinterest. 

Mid-Week Inspiration: The Bow Mani

I found this wonderful DIY tutorial for a painted bow mani at The Beauty Department. I don't have the patience to do my own nails but I would love to give this a try. So adorable and I love that mint color. Would also look stunning with red! 

My Vintage Vanity: Lipstick Holders

I love these vintage brass filagree lipstick holders for my vanity. Unfortunately most do not hold modern day sized lipstick tubes. I was able to find the beauty with the mirrored tray that does!

Found in St. Louis for $12. I love the mirrored tray!

I bought this one on Etsy. Besame tubes fit quite nicely.

Mid-Week Inspiration: Pastel Beauty

Pastels are not my thing but I find this beauty shot to be stunning! I also love her eyebrows.

What do you think? Will you be wearing pastel make-up this Spring?

The December issue of Vogue China is chock full of fabulous (more to be posted soon)! This Holiday beauty feature with model Du Juan is gorgeous. I love the make up, the hair, the nails, and that Ermine fur headband!
Can you see that manicure?

Stunning!

On My Wishlist: Chanel Lipstick

My lipstick loving sister gave me a gift card for my Birthday last month specifically to treat myself to Chanel lipstick. Normally, I would have been at the Chanel counter the next day selecting my shade. But with my hand injury I was unable to open and twist the lipstick I already had, so I have waited. I finally have the strength to hold a tube of lipstick and I am eagerly waiting for the newest line of Chanel lipsticks to hit the counters February 25th called Rouge Coco. Vanessa Paradis, pictured above, is the new face of this lipstick inspired by Coco herself. For daytime I want the pretty pink she is wearing in the ads.
And for night I want Chanel Rouge Allure Laque, already in stores, in shade Dragon. It is a high impact, bold red color with high gloss shine. I can't wait to get my hands and lips on that!
