Michael Jackson: We Will Always Remember the Time

Be Shady…Like Anna!

noreply@blogger.com (EverSoPopular) — Fri, 29 May 2009 18:39:00 +0000

On a riveting 60 Minutes segment, Morley Safer interviewed Anna Wintour and revealed the reason she wears sunglasses indoors and outdoors - to hide her boredom. Wintour, editor of style bible Vogue, is invited to numerous fashion shows and gatherings year round, so she uses the glasses to hide her true feelings when she is unimpressed at what is being presented. “I can sit in a show and if I am bored out of my mind, nobody will notice. At this point, they have become, really, armor.”
Wintour is not the only celebrity to hide behind her sunglasses. Victoria Beckham is rarely seen without her huge designer glasses and has previously explained she feels better wearing them as people can see less of her face. Conspicuous logos and white frames a-la Victoria Beckham are on the way out, but oversized sunnies, aviators and colorful plastic hues are hot, hot, hot and Oakley presents an array of styles to make your “armor” Vogue worthy.

Be Big and Round

Oversized sunglasses are still very in and whether you are looking to be ravishing – or just to be ravished – this of-the-moment model will hit the mark. Channeling the spirit of Jackie-O while transcending hip aesthetics, Ravishing’s ($155 at www.Oakley.com) oversized shape embodies the latest in eyewear.

Mirror, mirror on the Wall

What goes best with your metallic dress or your foil-effect T-shirt? Mirror-like materials are beginning to shine again, especially with the colorful plastics in Oakley’s Compulsive ($145 at www.Oakley.com) model from the new active collection.

Old School Classic

Vintage inspired remains hot and Oakley Jupiter’s are a spin off of their classic Frogskin model. Oakley Jupiter LX ($130 at www.Oakley.com), provides a smooth look with icon accents, sculptural detailing and metal bands for an assertive edge.

No Boyfriend Jackets Allowed!

noreply@blogger.com (EverSoPopular) — Tue, 05 May 2009 19:21:00 +0000

The boyfriend trend is huge right now but this denim jacket is no slouch…Doing it right is Paige Premium Denim. Nicole Richie, a Paigeaholic of three years, was spotted today wearing the Vermont Jacket by Paige Premium Denim. Ms. Richie wore her brand new jacket over a long tunic dress and leggings – one of this year’s hottest ways to wear denim.

What I love most about the Vermont Jacket is the ultra sexy, tailored cut that sits right at the hip – accented with darts and folds to highlight a women’s waist and form. Nicole chose the Wayward wash – a vintage inspired blue with subtle rips and tears. Unlike most boxy cuts – this jacket fits more like a slim shirt so that it highlights the assets!

Vegan Nostalgia

noreply@blogger.com (EverSoPopular) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:45:00 +0000

When I am creative and brainstorming I really enjoy the randomness of youtube. My free association usually takes me to familiar places, usually from my childhood. ’The Beets’ music really spoke to me…as a young vegetarian I felt I had an anthem. With that here is one of my favorite songs from a Nickelodeon cartoon…

Guilty Pleasure D'jour

No, I will not try to understand, explain, or give too much thought to Beyonce's "Single Ladies" Anthem (Put A Ring On It)...so don't ask!

It is just a hell of a guilty pleasure that and this other gem that almost slipped under the radar.

Target Invades NY!

noreply@blogger.com (EverSoPopular) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 16:44:00 +0000

Last night I attemend the launch of Target Bullseye Bodega on 57th and 6th Ave.
It was packed with celebs (everyone shops at Target!)
After squeezing past the cosmetics and home goods I found the womens fashion collections. I loved so many pieces and couldn't help myself from reaching in front of Joy Bryant to grab a pencil skirt from the Jonathan Saunders GO International collection. Here are the deets so you can get your shop on!

This fall, Target brings its current roster of 22 designers – more than at any time in the company’s history – to Manhattan. Open from September 12 – 15, each bodega will feature an edited selection of the trendiest and most affordable products from its designer partners across home, fashion, accessories and beauty. Taking a playful spin off of a traditional New York bodega, or corner store, each Bullseye Bodega will also offer New Yorkers the opportunity to shop upcoming limited-time collections before they hit Target stores, including the Anya Hindmarch handbag collection, the Sigerson Morrison footwear collection, and the Jonathan Saunders GO International fashion collection.

Each Bullseye Bodega will be open from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. daily.

Guests can shop four convenient locations:

Midtown: 101 57th Street at 6th

Union Square: 813 Broadway between 11th and 12th

90210 Style Recap

noreply@blogger.com (EverSoPopular) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:13:00 +0000

Though last night’s episode didn’t quite seem to live up to the hype, the styles definitely did!

Resident bad girl Naomi sure didn’t disappoint with her fashion sense, or her hair! Whether it was tight curls, loose curls or even straight she looked fierce in every style.

Why not take a cue from her frizz-free style and get your own hair looking just as good with Zero Frizz Corrective Serum. Its a lightweight smoothing serum eliminates frizz and flyaway’s for shiny, manageable hair no matter what look you’re going for!

Back From The Dead

noreply@blogger.com (EverSoPopular) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 19:39:00 +0000

So for our fab summer vacay we were chillin' with Charlie!

Obessession: Lip Gloss

noreply@blogger.com (EverSoPopular) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 15:23:00 +0000

I got word there was a new CoverGirl Westslicks would be out for the summer.
As a lip gloss fiend I was super excited. Then I finally got to try it and...well its a treat for us mint lovin' gals!
CoverGirl teamed up with Crest to create CoverGirl AmazeMint Lip Gloss and the result is a gorgeous gloss, with a mint flavor...

My favorites are the 3 blue based shades (because they make your teeth look brighter), they are: Plum Crazy, Un-wined, and Toast-ed. If you like CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint, but want more color this CG is for you, but I find myself always reapplying just for the flavor and going through it fast...so buy 'em by the fistful so you can make it through the end of this summer!

Melt-Proof Makeup

noreply@blogger.com (EverSoPopular) — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:34:00 +0000

With temperatures rising keeping your cool is one thing...and your makeup from melting is another. My favorite summertime look is to focus on the eyes. Using a pigment rich shadow adds intensity to eyes by defining them with a bold color. Max Factor Vivid Impact Duo, Brassy Berry $7.22 at www.drugstore.com

Shoe Worship

noreply@blogger.com (EverSoPopular) — Wed, 28 May 2008 17:08:00 +0000

....so this weekend was an adventure in my quest for the perfect nude peep-toe pump.
I came across this enticing little pair, but alas the Italian patent pump from Hollywould was not available in my size.

Hollywould Sand Ida Peeptoe, $450.

In my search for something comparable nothing came close. However, I did find these lace up leather sling back platform sandals at Nine West.
Alista, on sale for $99 at Nine West.

Francophilia: Yelle...for Mauricio

noreply@blogger.com (EverSoPopular) — Tue, 20 May 2008 04:59:00 +0000
