Fall Trend: Blue Smoky Eye

Blue-Eye-Shadow_articleimage

No black, no grey, nope, you’re not listening…pass me the black eyeliner missy!!! Let’s try something new!  It’s all about the BLUE!

blue_smoky_eyes

Yes ladies, this blue smokey eye is sooooo in right now.  Now, I’m not trying to make you look “black and blue” well, scratch that, I am!!!  This 70’s inspired look is hot right now (NYC Fashion Week, Vogue, Elle), well rather BLUE. It’s the same as your normal “black and grey smokey eye”.  Just minus the black and add the blue.  Be sure not to overkill the look with a strong lip.  My choice is a soft pink lip or a nude lip.  That should do the trick!

Here are some of my favorite products to achieve this look: NARS China Blue or Tropic $22, NARS Duo Eye Shadow Demon Lover $32, M.A.C. Freshwater or Deep Truth $14.50, M.A.C. Eye Shadow Pallet Tone: Grey $36.00 (4 colors: white, grey, blue, light blue), Revlon 12 Hour Eye Shadow Quad Stonewashed Denim $7 (4 colors), and CoverGirl Queen Collection Eye Shadow Quads Blue Notes $5

eve whip it

Judging from Milan Fashion Week’s runway shows, sheer will definitely be major for Spring as well! Eve nailed this trend right on with this look, while promoting “Whip It” in LA recently, a new movie she is in. From red carpet, to regular activities, sheer is definitely something to fall into this season!  Read more…

Vh1 Hip-Hop Honors Red Carpet Trend: Gloves

Posted by Tara Decoda on Sep 24, 2009 in Celebs, Cheap & Chic, High-End, Red Carpet Style, Trends

For every red carpet for every event, there is always a trend. Whether it’s bib necklaces, chandelier earrings, one shoulder dresses, or square toe pumps, there is always one trend that all the stylists meet up and agree on. For the Hip-Hop Honors, honoring the 25 years of Def Jam, this trend was gloves:

foxy hhh

Foxy looked a hot boogie brown mess on these folk’s red carpet. I never really expect her to look awesome and dashing, because she always messes it up, but I always HOPE that she would get it together- just once. But nonetheless, her shoes were hot, and she paired (randomly) some red gloves with her ‘fit.

eve hhh

Let’s talk about who. I. am, blondie find me in the hood wit’ my peeples… Whaaaaat? Now, ya’ know I love me some Eve. My favorite female rapper- period! The self proclaimed pitbull in a skirt cleaned up nice from her ice blonde bald, tomboy days. From the chic bobs, to the sophisticated but still sexy dresses and make-up, good look for my girl. For the HHH, she had a cute all black look and black one fingered gloves. Out of all the glove looks, Eve’s were my favorite!

chrisette hhh

I don’t like this look. Chrisette Michele looked like a 50-year old housewife trying to get her groove back, after her youngest went off to college. The big, baggy dress, the slouchy suede boots, and the suede and leather gloves… baby, you are doing too much! Usually I love what June Ambrose does with her clients, so I’m guessing she didn’t style her this go ’round. Womp womp.

Ja Rule also rocked gloves during his performance with his former label mate, Ashanti:

Yes, there is something in the water. I picked out a few gloves for you to choose from under the cut…

Posted by Tara Decoda on Jul 22, 2008 in Celebs, Designers, High-End, Red Carpet Style, Steal Their Look, Trends

Every season or year their is a shoe or bag that seems to be on every celebutante’s feet or arm. This go-round it’s none other than the ever popular YSL Tribute Sandals. Just looking at them I wouldn’t think to purchase them but they are actually growing on me.

Sanaa has a pair.

Keri has a pair.

Ashlee has a pair.

I may lose count posting all the celebs that have a pair, so I’ll stop there. For your pair:

YSL Tribute Sandal in Gold Metallic Crackled Leather $790, Yves Saint Laurent 

YSL Tribute Sandal in Patent Leather $760, Yves Saint Laurent

YSL Tribute Sandal in Woven Leather $760, Yves Saint Laurent

There is also the Tribute Pump:



I would much rather wear the Tribute Pumps than the Sandals. Feel the same?

YSL Tribute Patent Leather Pumps $660, Yves Saint Laurent

Steal Her Look: Eve's Outfit!

Posted by Tara Decoda on Jul 7, 2008 in Celebs, Red Carpet Style, Steal Their Look, Summer Time

Eve rocked this cute laid-back look to the MTV VMA Australia Awards. I absolutely lopved this look and thought it was adorable. The yellow top and heels spiced up a usually laid-back pair of denims.

Lexi Tunic $299, Meghan Shop

Seven For All Man Kind Roxanne Stretch Pant $172, Shop Bop

 

The top is fab…. do I think it’s worth $300? No.

Who Rocked The Look?

Posted by Tara Decoda on Jun 24, 2008 in Celebs, Red Carpet Style, Who ROCKED It?

My favorite female rapper Eve and my role model Kimora Lee both arrived at the Cartier “LOVE” Bracelet Launch Party last week at a private residence in L.A. rocking the same look. While the dresses and fabrics are very different, the long, black fitted look with the goddess-type top accompanied by gold jewelry/accessories were obviously familiar.

I am convinced that Eve did this look way more justice, being that she actually has a body to put into a dress with that kind of fit, and keeping her hair off of her shoulders, allowing the dress to do it’s thing was just genius. I am also guessing that the dress Kimora is rocking is apart of that damn KLS Collection. Don’t get me wrong I love her KLS Collection, but that silky ish KILLS me. SMH.

 

Who Rocked This Look Best??

and as for Kimora… HIT OR MISS??

Steal Her Look: Eve's Bag

Posted by Tara Decoda on Jun 21, 2008 in Candids, Celebs, Steal Their Look

Eve was out and about in L.A. yesterday, shopping. If I do say so myself, she looked pretty damn good and has stepped up her fab factor since her days of being the “pitbull ina skirt”. She rocked this Louis Vuitton bag while running her errands. You can find her bag here for $3, 570 but they don’t have it in white, only silver and gold. I told you ladies about that gold trend, so this would be perfect!
