Rodarte collection for Starbucks

"Medieval and fantasy role-playing games": the inspiration for Rodarte's Spring/Summer 2013 collection

The collaboration between fashion forward Rodarte (known for creating the striking ballerina costumes for Natalie Portman in Black Swan) and the coffee chain is definitely a surprise.  This is Starbucks first foray into the fashion industry. I personally love the idea as I am the target customer for this partnership.  But I wonder if the majority of Starbucks customers will respond to products by a designer brand.  Thoughts???

It is Fall

Casual sweater on top of sequins 

Layers to perfection and love the color combination of olive green, grey and off-white

Thick yummy leather jacket in a refreshing color

Easy, oversized, cozy cable neck sweater to pair with jeans and knee high boots and you are done

Camel coat paired with an exotic skin clutch (embossed or real, you get the effect)

With all the goodness of Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Weeks still on the brain, I find it hard to remember these days that I need to be thinking about dressing for Fall!  I will be showcasing my favorite SS13 designer looks in the near future, but for now here are some of my favorite looks and style inspirations to get dressed now.

Tom Ford Beauty

I have discovered my new favorite makeup line - Tom Ford Beauty.
Above image from left to right:

• Cafe Rose Eau de Parfum
• Exotic Teal Eye Defining Pencil
• Midnight Eye Defining Pencil
• Emerald Lust Eye Color Quad
• Narcissist Cheek Color
• Peach Blush Illuminating Highlighter Pen
• Bordeaux Lust Nail Lacquer
• Minx Nail Lacquer
• Naivete Ultra Shine Lip Gloss

My personal trick: I line the outer corner to the middle of the upper eyelid with Exotic Teal Eye Defining Pencil and fully line the bottom eyelid with Midnight Eye Defining Pencil.  With a coat of mascara, this look will give you just enough of a pop of color but still remain subtle.

On another note, did you know Tom Ford Beauty is part of the Estee Lauder brands?  Very stylish indeed.
