THE DREAMER? Rosie O’laskey

My mother was a professional ballet dancer in her youth and although I didn’t inherit her talent, I grew up with a respect for the aesthetic of ballet. ?This look is my Spring 2012 ode to the ballerina? a bit otherworldly and delicate but still modern.

THE ROARING 20’S… Mariko

I’ve always loved the 1920’s… ?the look was?sexy, a bit gothic, playful and innocent! ?It was a decade of decadence and social change. ?Along with the right to vote, women began to openly display an independence that was shocking given the conventions of the previous era. ?Gone were the corsets, the ornate hats and long… Read more »

NEW ROMANTIC? Leore Hayon

While I adore the look of bleached brows, groomed arches, severe straight slashes, wicked peaks and even thin 20’s lines, I have to admit that Leore’s full, natural eyebrows make my heart beat just a little bit faster. ?They remind me of the 1980’s, of Boy George, Adam and the Ants, Duran Duran and the… Read more »

SMILE… Beck Trumbo

I wish D?a de los Muertos was in May? or maybe even June. ?And while a monster mouth is appropriate all year long, I find it particularly fun as a Spring/Summer look. ?It says, “Hey, just because the sun is shining doesn’t mean my inner goth has to stay hidden.” ?As demonstrated by my frequent… Read more »

SPRING COLOR #2? Erin Axtell

Another take on Spring color? the opaque texture and matte intensity makes this cooler than the usual pastel shade of mint. ?This is like if mint was really into rock & roll, smoked cigarettes and dated Kate Moss.
