In an effort to expand a teenager's musical taste beyond Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, I've been watching and sharing a lot of music videos lately. Kate Nash, who is adorable and amazing, has a kitschy retro flight attendant video for her song "Do-Wah-Doo." I can't quite tell if she has rhinestones at the base of her lashes or if she swooped silver liner over her black. We'll leave the former option to British pop stars, but a swipe of silver eyeliner over an otherwise bare lid sounds like a fun way to dress up a sleepy day. Drug store staple, Revlon, has a standard pencil liner ($8.49 at Target) that looks like it has plenty of sparkle. Sephora has a waterproof option ($12) and a super glittery gel liner ($12). Happy eyes for everyone!
October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
Jean Paul Gaultier's runway promoted one of my favorite fashion looks: pinstripes with a delicate, feminine print. He had high-waisted pants, suspenders, lingerie elements, lace, sheer fabrics, softly geometric designs, and monochrome dominated, much to my glee. His menswear-inspired looks are a testament to how graceful the style can be. Christian Lacroix also paid homage to menswear with pieces inspired by matadors and soldiers. The complete collection wasn't cohesive, but even the breaks from theme were lovely. It's hard to argue with so many colors, ruffles and embroidery. Plus, I want that polka dot coat!
I love Miu Miu's harlequin themed show from Spring Summer 2008, especially this sweetly sexy striped mini dress. Kensie created a cute green version that's more wearable for everyday life. It's $118 at Macy's and perfect for spring. Now if I could find an inexpensive version of that show's teacup heels... Runway image: style.com .
