The Saab Fashionista is a concept car designed by French car design student, Mayeul Walser. Based on the designs of high fashion designers Karl Lagerfield and Chanel mixed with futuristic sci-fi tech, the 2-door, 4-seater sports coupe is definitely a looker. The While the sleek, futuristic exterior is definitely intriguing, what"s under the hood isn"t too shabby ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/6-2009/that-summer-in-paris.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/6-2009/that-summer-in-paris.php Tue, 02 Jun 2009 00:36:51 GMT At one point while reading Abha Dawesar"s lush That Summer in Paris I realized I was actually being seduced!  It took away my appetite (in the best possible way), moved me, and helped me to understand a past relationship better.

The novel is also a tribute to the most lovely things in Paris -  the sex, art, and food - and somehow manages to enhance their beauty and mystery.  Strongest possible recommendation.

Nothing is snobbier than having absolutely no pretense. I don"t have to flash my wares or even let you know what where or how. You know what I"m talking about, you see a girl with something amazing on and when you ask her where she got it, she smiles coyly and says, "Wouldn"t you like to know?". How freaking snobby is that? Actually, that example goes beyond to bitchy, but you get my point. But that pretty much sums up the reason behind the lack of logos on brands like ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/6-2009/stilas-preparing-for-an-indian-summer.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/6-2009/stilas-preparing-for-an-indian-summer.php Tue, 02 Jun 2009 00:31:57 GMT don’t miss out on Stila’s Indian Summer - may the beauty last through fall and beyond.  I’m not going to talk up anything in particular since I have’t seen the collection but one thing is for sure it’s all gorgeous.  I also need to get some more illuminating liquid foundation.  I still have the practically empty bottle under the sink so I wouldn’t forget!  I love how light it is but with great coverage AND SPF.  If you’re looking for new makeup, check out the Indian Summer look it is gorgeous, neutral mouth, smokey eyes, stunning stunning ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/6-2009/kanebo-coffret-dor-fall-2009-makeup-collection.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/6-2009/kanebo-coffret-dor-fall-2009-makeup-collection.php Tue, 02 Jun 2009 00:29:18 GMT (image/info from www.nikkei.co.jp)

Coffret D"Or"s summer 2009 collection has not been officially released yet, but now we have news of the line"s fall collection, out in Japan on August 1st.

The lineup includes:

- Mix Essence Rouge (8 shades)
- Eye Color (16 shades)

Coffret D"Or seems to be following a similar product release pattern to T"Estimo"s (Coffret D"Or"s predecessor), with eyeshadow palettes for spring and summer and eyeshadow singles for fall. The new Eye Color is Coffret ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/6-2009/zoe-saldana-covers-latina-magazine.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/6-2009/zoe-saldana-covers-latina-magazine.php Tue, 02 Jun 2009 00:28:14 GMT Latina magazine has been diversifying its cover subjects lately and included more Afro-Latinas in the mix. Sessilee Lopez graced the March 2009 cover.

I rarely get to the movies but I am intrigued by the new Star Trek installment. I had a few other actresses in mind to play Uhura when I first heard about the film but from what I"ve heard, Zoe does a pretty good job in the role.

Did any of you see the flick last weekend? Was it worth the effort?

Bernson"s gladiator and slip on styles ooze with glamourous goodness that makes them desirable classics.

In fact, the price margin is as wide as 200%. Normally, retailers buy their jewelry from wholesalers to maintain this profit percentage. However, even if you are not a retailer, you can still buy wholesale body jewelry. By doing so, you will be able to get your jewelry at economic prices and choose from an extensive range ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/5-2009/mineral-make-up.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/5-2009/mineral-make-up.php Tue, 12 May 2009 04:27:27 GMT One of the newest and most popular fads in cosmetics today is Mineral Make-up. Mineral Make-up is made up of one-hundred percent natural minerals that are compacted into a smooth powder that is actually good for your skin, as it leaves you with a flawless, weightless finish and healthy glow. Mineral make-up does not contain any chemical additives, parabens or chemical dyes and it continuously works to enhance the beauty of your skin with its all-day ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/style-tips.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/style-tips.php Thu, 30 Apr 2009 23:50:26 GMT Separate your planner or journal into sections. Mine, for example, has each day split into 3 parts: iCiNG, social & personal. For some reason, putting each actionable item under a heading makes everything much more manageable. I learned this trick from my friend Livia, who is very clever! Her day is split into 5 sections: money, career, artistry, relationships & being a woman in the world. Come up with headings which make sense for you, or are applicable to things you want to ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/sam-fine-in-vogue-magazine.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/sam-fine-in-vogue-magazine.php Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:10:39 GMT s: Luxx/TFS

There"s nothing new or groundbreaking in the advice here but Sam addresses one of my main makeup obsessions, which is finding a "perfect" nude skin tone matching lip gloss. Unfortunately, he doesn"t offer a concrete solution, so I"m stuck with mixing and matching light glosses with foundation (which I find can be drying.)

Still, it"s nice to pick up a fashion magazine and read a makeup article that"s targeted to brown skinned women. Apparently Sam is coming out with an instructional makeup DVD called Fine: The Basics of Beauty which is well and good but it"s just as ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/a-look-at-dress-queen.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/a-look-at-dress-queen.php Sun, 26 Apr 2009 01:03:12 GMT Dress Queen has a fantastic selection of stylish dresses in both classic and contemporary designs in their online catalogue, from elegant formal dresses for any occasion to stunning, affordable prom dresses for under ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/drew-barrymore-scores-a-fashion-hit.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/drew-barrymore-scores-a-fashion-hit.php Thu, 23 Apr 2009 03:19:55 GMT good morning everyone and happy friday! i'm a bit tired from last night's kick-ass britney spears concert but thankfully the weekend is right around the corner! the other day i posted pictures of drew barrymore wearing a less than flattering dress which was a total fashion miss but last night at the los angeles premiere of grey gardens - ms. barrymore looked stunning! i love the simple dress and the jewelry plus her brigitte bardot-esque hair looks amazing - nobody can get it right all the time (except for maybe dita von teese who always looks flawless) but last night ms. barrymore ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/drew-barrymore-scores-a-fashion-hit.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/drew-barrymore-scores-a-fashion-hit.php Thu, 23 Apr 2009 03:16:22 GMT good morning everyone and happy friday! i'm a bit tired from last night's kick-ass britney spears concert but thankfully the weekend is right around the corner! the other day i posted pictures of drew barrymore wearing a less than flattering dress which was a total fashion miss but last night at the los angeles premiere of grey gardens - ms. barrymore looked stunning! i love the simple dress and the jewelry plus her brigitte bardot-esque hair looks amazing - nobody can get it right all the time (except for maybe dita von teese who always looks flawless) but last night ms. barrymore ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/purchasing-a-designer-wedding-dress.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/purchasing-a-designer-wedding-dress.php Fri, 17 Apr 2009 00:14:45 GMT If you are planning a wedding, you should consider purchasing a designer wedding dress.

Love the many silver-tipped straps, the shiny black leather, &  the sky-high wedge that would cause me to fall considerably more often than usual. Love that they"re not feminine or masculine, that they aren"t casual or dressy; they are wonderfully ambiguous. 
Also, I assume, expensive. 
Pshh, keep your wonderfully ambiguous / assumed expensive shoes, Miss Sevigny! For the sake of my bank account, I will drool over my keyboard and write love letters blog posts on their multi-buckled glory.

To celebrate the opening of the Chanel beauty boutique in Aoyama, Tokyo, Chanel will release a limited-edition Tokyo-exclusive makeup collection. The collection will include a pressed powder, four shades of Glossimer Lèvres Scintellantes and four shades of Nail Colour. Pink, blue, gold, and silver are the chosen shades for the collection. Everything looks very fresh and lovely, and I can"t take my eyes off the blue-tinted lip gloss!

The boutique in Aoyama will be the largest Chanel beauty boutique in the world and will showcase ......... ]]> http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/marc-jacobs-splash-cucumber.php http://www.fashionblogsite.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2009/marc-jacobs-splash-cucumber.php Thu, 02 Apr 2009 03:30:56 GMT "I know I like the taste of cucumbers, but some of the cucumber scented beauty products that I"ve smelled over the years just didn"t capture that essence for me, so I put the concept of cucumber fragrances in the back of my mind.

That is until now. I recently had the opportunity to try the limited edition Marc Jacobs Splash - Cucumber . I was so amazed at how fresh, clean and crisp it smelled - and actually reminded me of how I feel when I eat cucumbers (it"s not an exact copy - but rather a really smart and modern scent influenced by the essence of Cucumber).
