Try a floral print in a darker color. Pair the look with dark tights and booties for a brand new take on a look you love.

Fall Essentials: TEN Limited Edition Collector's Palette

2010-08-22T04:51:00.001-04:00

Happy Birthday, Tarte Cosmetics. They beauty giant celebrated their 10 years of existence with this palette of eyeshadows, liner and mascara.

The 10 eyeshadow shades are extremely wearable with each color handpicked for the season. I love how they've incorporated the earthy greens we've been seeing all over the place. Plus Urban Decay's shadows are notoriously long lasting.

What's even better is this palette is completely reusable. Once you've used up your favorite color, just put in a replacement.

And if you're not sure where to start. They've even included a handy little instructional booklet to help you create killer looks.

Remember, this is a limited edition release. So it's in your best interest to act fast.

Fall Essentials: Chanel Les Khakis De Chanel

2010-08-20T05:53:00.000-04:00

Military-inspired looks dominate the runways, but we never imagined that "camouflage colors" would become en vogue in the beauty world.

Count on Chanel to push the envelope with an unmissable collectio of neutral nail lacquers. The muted, earth tones have us salivating at the thought of the mix and match possibilities. So if you're wearing an army green nail can you still wear a bright red lip? What about bright eyeshadow?

In celebration of Vogue’s Fashion’s Night Out, Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, has created LES KHAKIS DE CHANEL, a collection of three Le Vernis Nail Colours. Ultra sophisticated shades Khaki Rose, Khaki Brun and Khaki Vert can be worn alone or combined for an urban chic camouflage effect.

Chanel Les Khakis De Chanel will be available just in time for the start of the fashion season. Mark your calendars because September 10th is just around the corner. The nail colors will retail for $25.

Will you be buying?

William Rast Headed to Target

2010-07-29T13:28:00.000-04:00

Do you remember when absolutely every celebrity and their mother had a clothing line circa 2001? Most of them have are now defunct like the careers of their sponsors (think J.Lo), but occasionally a celebrity line proves its staying power (think L.A.M.B.).

This winter, Justin Timberlake's William Rast will be available in Target stores. The men's and women's collections will debut in Target stores and in Target.com on December 19.

Target has become the leader in designer collaborations, but they aren't always well-received (think Stephen Burrows). Hopefully, JT's line will hit the right notes. [WWD]
