Eye on Metallics

I love metal-inspired eyeshadows and apparently Vogue agrees with me. Here is the look during the spring Chanel collection.

Instead of using one metallic color they used two: silver on the lid and gold under the eye. While it concept seems a bit bizarre it actually looks great. Just don't freak out when you first put it on. Remember most people are not looking at you a foot from your face. (Unless you are a face model I guess.)

If you want to tone it down just use either silver or gold shadow. Some brands like Cargo, Nars, and Stila make really beautiful metallic eye shadows. I would suggest using Cargo's Reverse Liner to brighten the inner rims too. It perks up the look. And of course, lots of black mascara!

This fun Tahari jacket completes the look. (This blazer works too.) Shine on! :)

Ensuring Designer Falls

Shoes are so tricky. On one hand, they make us look long, lean, and sexy. On the other hand, with one false step we are likely to end up flat on our backs.

Now the Vogue has the '07 Spring Accessories report out, it's time to find the shoes most like to cause bodily harm:

These black and white Pierre Hardy platforms look like art more than footwear. The tiny stiletto and weirdly rounded platform ensure you will be taking baby steps to your destination.


From Balenciaga, the leader in unwearable shoes...


Not only does these Marc Jacob's wedges look painful, they are also hideous. So not worth the money and effort!


All these shoes remind me why is it so important to have health insurance! You never know when our lovely footwear will abuse us next…
