00170mThings have got a whole lot more interesting in the brow department for Autumn/Winter 2010 as predicated by LA’s very own Astrid Kearney back in February.

00340mThe runway displayed an array of pastal coloured eyebrows as seen here on the Balenciaga catwalk from shades of blue to green to citrus yellow.

Pat Mc Grath was the key artist for the show, she kept the entire face super clean, with just a touch of baby pink blush and a hint of pink on the lips. The perfect canvas for such unique brows!

What do you think of this new trend? Love it or hate it?

Poolside at L.A….

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

L.A.’s fashion A-listers partied poolside last night to celebrate Mulberry’s Autumn/Winter 2010 collection.

Alexa Chung wore her heart on the nails, literally working the nail art craze donned by a host of our favourite stars such a Rhianna, Beyonce and Katy Perry. We were in awe in the LA office as we clapped eyes on Ms. Chung, we’re loving her relaxed California look, check out that silk Mulberry blouse and shorts combo teamed with that glowing tan. Very LA chic!
