Pat McGrath, one of my all-time favorite makeup artists states “Summer is the perfect time to experiment with texture and colour. We saw a lot of accessory shades for lips and nails this season.” Pat recommends Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipstick ($34.00) for an effortless application of rich, velvety textured formula that instantly locks in moisture to conditions lips.

I have always liked the duality of the rich pigments of color and the supreme glossy shine that the inside presents on the lips. It makes for a two-in-one …

The hairstyles on the Fall / Winter 2011 runways ran the gamut, but the looks that stood out as the newest and most exciting were 60‘s styles that played with gender norms, from sculpted “bad boy” updos to flirty, feminine beehives. Yes, there were the usual beachy waves, messy buns, braids and ponytails, but the most exciting looks were super slick side-parts that looked modern and clean contrasted by ladylike confections that proved that classics never die.

Tight french twists were paired with sculpted pompadours to create faux “boy” looks.

There are collections that are designed to make you stop and stare, as though you would in a museum. The richness of the vision, packaging and the jewel-like heft of the products by Dolce & Gabbana for Fall 2011 fall into this category.

When I first received the lipsticks and bronzer — the Animalier collection — I went into a bit of a shock. The packaging, the velvet case and enclosed dusting brush with gold handle was more regal than the Medici era. It almost seemed that the line had commissioned …

“Inspired by the Spring 2011 runway, a re-interpretation of Dolce & Gabbana’s bewitching glamour and treasured heritage creates a world of fantasy, desire and luxury with poetic pastels and mercurial tone on tone translucence.”

While I’d love to stay objective and provide all the facts, I prefer to scream like a five year old in a candy store about my excitement over this line. The elegant packaging, the captivating colors, the luxury and the …

It was raining, and Emily Blunt’s hair characterized that tousled, carefree look. And her pale pink chiffon (ahem, and ruffled) strapless gown by Dolce & Gabbana looked both ethereal and romantic.
And since she’s engaged to John Krasinski, it’s apt that she does look romantic.

Emily Blunt’s hair was stylied with NO FRIZZ that contains the new anti-frizz molecule created by MIT scientists. It doesn’t leave hair looking wet or greasy.
Stylist Laini Reeves cut Blunt’s hair to shoulder length just for the Golden Globes and then created a curl that was blunt …

There’s nothing like perfume that elicits a mood and warms up the spirit. Fragrance is sometimes intangible – you don’t realize you’ve entered a “perfume mood” until it’s there and envelopes you.  And these are some of the products we’re crazy about for the holiday season (and why we love them).
Burberry Brit Gift Set ($84)

We love the fruity and lightness of this perfume (we recommend it for the teenager). This set includes a 3.3.oz Eau de Toilette Spray, a Body Lotion and a Shower Gel.
