Essie Winter 2008 Collection



winter...ahh...i just love the sound of it!

although for me, winter has never been like winter with snow or blizzards (i live in southern california, where people freak out when it rains...LOL!), but hey, it gets pretty chilly and i couldn't imagine it any differently.

so moving on...

Essie has released her fab Winter 2008 Collection, and it was all inspired by the looks as seen on the runways of fashion week for, well, fall/winter 2008.

winter’s divine fashions parallel essie’s new collection of six striking nail colors from classy reds to shimmery violets and a surprising burst of gold, proving that "without color, it wouldn't be fashion." - Essie Weingarten

take a look...





Sexy Divide, an electric violet, was inspired by Abaete






Shifting Power, a sizzling molten gold was inspired by Proenza Schouler







Damsel in a Dress, an oh-so deep currant, was also inspired by Proenza Schouler








Bold & Beautiful, a rich ruby garnet, was inspired by Oscar de la Renta







Rock Star Skinny, a glamorous crimson red, was inspired by Pollini







It's Genius, a violet quartz shimmer, was inspired by Vivian Tam


so what do you think of the collection? any one color pop out at you? let me know in the comments!

NY Fashion Week: Abaete


Laura Poretzky (pictured, above) showed her Abaete spring '09 collection yesterday, and while the collection (from what i've seen over at style.com) is ok, it's the makeup and hair that have caught my attention.

dark, smokey eyes and clean, fresh skin interpreted the-good-girl-who-wants-to-be-bad theme perfectly. hair was pulled tightly and cleanly into a bun, giving the bold eyes the focus. this worked beautifully as the clothes were mostly soft pastels.


Amber at Beauty Blogging Junkie, Mari at Beauty and the Blog and Jamie at The Beauty of Life were backstage and have all of the details.
