New York Shopping: Make-Up and Skin Care

My New York make-up and skin care shopping!
So far I'm really happy with the Caudalie skin care set, the eye and lip creme is the first creme that my skin doesn't over-react on! Jayyy! (I have a very sensitive skin) and I just love the porefessionally set I use as a primer! A little trick I learned is to dab a little eyecreme on top of your foundation around the eye-area when creases appear (works like a miracle!)

1 Caudalie skin care set 

2 Stila illuminating foundation, powder and eyeshadow palette

3 Benefit the POREfessionally pretty set

4 Per-fekt body perfection gel

5 Bobbi Brown corrector

6 Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on eye pencil

Shopping: velvet blue tapestry boots

Jeffrey Campbell Yuma Fab from LFstores (or at Solestruck online)

Of course there was plenty of shopping while being in New York! I bought a lot of Make-Up and Skin Care products and yes, clothing and shoes too! The suitcase totally restricted me in shopping as I just didn't see any possibility (packing wise) in bringing back Anthropologie's tableware (ceramics) and heavy books. 

Luckily there was some space left for shoes to squeeze in and I found these on sale (50% off) at the LFstores in Soho. Now its just waiting for the weather to allow me to wear these bare legged with dresses!

Alice + Olivia fall 2012

Alice + Olivia fall 2012 

It are the Bold graphic prints and Bold colors that start to grow on me after seeing various AW12 shows and presentations in New York. One of the returning prints in various colors that I saw in more collections is what I call the "dalmatian polkadot print" (keep an eye on that one) 

The Alice + Olivia presentation was very good, it was crowded but the overall atmosphere was like a party, kind of like the collection.. 

It was nice to meet up with other bloggers for a chat. Note that after the reward style party we all got the same Asos leather/leopard tote and thus on all events and shows there was a flock of bloggers (including me) with the same tote.. So by following the leather/leopard tote I easily found and rounded up my fellow blogger friends... priceless, I think it says a lot about how perfect this tote is that we all decided to wear it, knowing very well that everyone has the same tote!

After the discovering of a Magnum Ice-cream booth I became terribly distracted and I don't think I have ever eaten so many ice-creams in my life, it almost made me miss the little giftbag filled with Stila Make-Up (eyeshadow box) and yes.. a leather Magnum note book!

see the full Alice + Olivia collection here

Kim Pham in the International Fur Remix Competition

Congratulations to Junior student Kim Pham whose design was chosen as the United States winner in the International Fur Remix Competition, sponsored by the International Fur Trade Federation. The Fur Information Council of America had chosen her as one of the three winners in US and she was paired with the Dennis Basso design team to help manufacture her design. Kim had a very limited amount of time to drape and pattern her design, and to sew a sample muslin to send to New York for production. Kim designed an oversized bell shape coat with asymmetrical piecing, accompanied by a fox scarf and matching handbag that Kim had made on her own. The coat was made with blue iris mink, silver pearl fox, and leather piecing, which were generously provided by Mr. Steve Gold of the North American Fur Auction.


After the photos were submitted to Milan for the international judging (photography by Sterling Steves), Kim's coat was chosen as the top design of US and was asked to send her coat to Milan for the next phase of judging. Her fur design will be featured in the Remix MiFur International Fur and Leather Exhibition during Milan Fashion Week in March 2012. She will be representing US among 21 other countries in the competition. Judging is currently taking place in Milan to select the top 8 designers in the world who will fly to Milan to compete for the top three awards.

Congratulations Kim! The Fashion Design Program is very proud of your accomplishments and we wish you the best in the competition!
