Protein is Good For You!

The Sundance Channel has announced a week long series of fashion documentaries and feature films called "Ready To Watch" that will coincide with New York Fashion week. I kicks off on February 4th with MARC JACOBS & LOUIS VUITTON and please believe my DVR is already set to record it!

From the press release:
The centerpiece of the “Ready to Watch” documentary line-up is the U.S. television premiere of Loïc Prigent’s Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton on February 4th at 8:00pm, which journeys inside the professional world of 44-year-old designer Marc Jacobs. The documentary, which marks the first time Jacobs has allowed cameras to capture his creative process, follows him as he and his team travel from New York to Tokyo to Paris, conceptualizing, refining and executing two Spring 2007 ready-to-wear collections, one for Jacobs’ eponymous American label, and the other for the venerable French luxury house Louis Vuitton. Prigent, who previously chronicled the workings of haute couture in the series “Signé Chanel” (also airing in “Ready to Watch”), was granted unprecedented access to Jacobs’ workrooms in New York and Paris. The result is a witty, colorful and occasionally whimsical portrait of a maverick designer, his influences and his creative process

I am so dying for this! Here's a sneak peek.


I'm also really looking forward to seeing Karl Lagerfeld is Never Happy Anyway and Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?...

I might just record everything on Sundance that week!

More Like Project WRONGway!

I was a little bit taken aback by the last episode of Proj R Way, and what they consider to be "outdated trends"...  And I'm not the only one!

How can they say Neon is out? When I go out in Hollywood these days, the clothes the kids were wearing practically glow in the dark!

Dance wear is out? The "off duty ballerina look" is everywhere right now. Hello!?... leggings, ballet flats, jazz shoes... all totally in.  My best friend Annie even showed up to my house in TAP SHOES the other night!

Overalls are out?  I guess someone forgot to tell Marc Jacobs!

Baggy sweaters? Are you kidding? I totally heart baggy sweaters!

Now, I agree about shoulder pads being out, and as a broad shouldered (*ahem*) "broad", I pray every night before I go to bed that they stay that way!

Anyway, here is Annie Hardy doing her best "Ballerina on a Cigarette Break" in JANE magazine.

Cobraween Part Deux

So I know I've been totally jocking The Cobra Snake lately, and I promise to lay off and to get back to the pretty, but NEW YORK WENT OFF FOR HALLOWEEN!

Some of the amazing costumes:
Lemmy
the guy from Double Dare
Twins from The Shining
someone who got hit in the head with Naomi Campbell's blackberry
Barry Manilow this one literally made me "LOL".
Garth
Bronques
I found Waldo!
Cory Kennedy was a cave woman? Whatever. She looks cute.
Woah!  These guys did great Marc Jacobs and Terry Richardson costumes... ;)

Kudos New York, you kicked LA's butt this Halloween!

Green Day

So the other night I helped my friend bar tend (for about 5 minutes because it was really hard!) I only made drinks that matched my nail varnish.

It's Parrot Green by Mattese N.Y.C. I wish I knew more about this line (they carry lip and eye colors as well). The varnish was recommended to me by a client and I searched all over the internet for it! I finally got mine at Perfumania but it looks like they are out of it now. If you live in NYC, or are planning to visit, you can get it at Ricky's.

Check out my new Marc by Marc heels!

Couldn't you just die?!

These are a few of my favorite things...

At the moment anyway...

City Lips!!! (www.citycosmetics.com)

This is a miracle product.  I'm not even exaggerating.  It is a lip plumper that really works and DOES NOT sting!  It actually stimulates your lips to produce more collagen. If you want the deets on exactly how it works, go here.    

I suggest using the clear gloss in the am and pm.  My trick is to exfoliate my lips with my toothbrush when I brush my teeth and then apply it afterwards.  I've never tried the colored versions of the gloss, but they look cute!

Something I'm always digging is Lancôme HYPNÔSE mascara (in black, of course)...

It gives your lashes such a dramatic look.  People ask me all the time if I'm wearing fake lashes, but it is really just the mascara!  A ton of my celebrity clients have fallen in love with it.

For an extra dramatic look, I like to use CILS BOOSTER XL under the mascara...

It works just like anything you paint... if you put a white primer on first, the color comes out much more vibrant!

The latest issue of W magazine:

There is a great piece on Marc Jacobs' art collection with some really stunning pictures of his home. 

Speaking of Marc Jacobs, I'm also loving his new fragrance Daisy:

AND he has a new home fragrance that has kept my house smelling lovely for the past few weeks and it isn't at all overbearing.  Loves it!

I know I'm totally late to the party on this, but... I finally checked out the Marc by Marc Jacobs store on Melrose and it is the greatest place! They have a ton of cute gift items that are totally affordable! Can the man do no wrong?!

Now if only he would make his vans in my size! :(

Speaking of men who can do no wrong...

How about Tom Ford?  He's a genius.  When he teamed up with Estee Lauder for a make up collection, magical things happened.  It was a very limited collection and is now discontinued, but I recently got my hands on a brand new Tom Ford for Estee Lauder eye gloss.  

I haven't tried it just yet because the packaging is so beautiful that I can't bring myself to use it...  I will keep you posted on that.

Other things I'm living for at the moment:

Kanye West's awesomely random blog, and his Terry Richardson press photos...

The new cover of Paper magazine that my good friend Dan Monick shot...

Woo Hoo!  Daft Punk!

The latest photo zine by my good friends Jeremy and Claire Weiss (aka Day 19)

and this girl's nail polish!

What do you bet it is Suvi by Zoya?
