Hair New Era

A few faves shot by Phil Oh for Vogue.com

Celeb stylist Rachel Zoe drops her second collection for Spring of 2012. The line looks good with its very neutral black, white and camel palette however the prices still don't entice me to purchase any of the items. In my opinion the price point could be lower on a lot of the garments. Nordstroms tends to have more "affordable" prices than say a Neiman Marcus or Barney's for what you get however, in the case of  RZ, that's just simply NOT the case.



Take a look at the full line here 

I've been M.I.A. (no pun intended) from the blog for a bit because there is much action happening here in Charlotte. Today is the last day of Charlotte's Fashion Week. It has been so much fun working and learning from the other photographers, shooting runway and meeting new people here in the Queen City. Tonight will be the last night of it all and I am actually very sad. I will put together a collage of images from the exciting week for all to see, but for now I wanted to give you a little somethin' somethin' to hold you over...

I absolutely LOVE Shaunie's look. The color palette, very appropriate for the fall trend of bright color blocking. The blond pop in her hair and the make-up is flawless. A ++ for the effort. Shaunie also trips me out how on the first part of the reunion she wasn't shown saying more than a total of maybe 10 words. I'm curious to know if she'll even talk tonight.

Evelyn, gets a B for effort. Now while her dress is a runway pick with the metallic of the season, it's not as memorable as her neighbor. I did appreciate her royal blue stilettos, but was confused on the fuschia berry combo eyes. I'm excited to watch tonight's second half, tomorrow (I have to tivo - prior plans lol)

A staple color for this Fall/Winter season. My favorite is grey paired with a hot-and-bright pink. It has also been brought to my attention, by a fellow fashion enthusiast , that this years hypothermia look on the runway seen in Doo Ri's show is causing questions among viewers. After some research, the blue/grey lipstick is a usual style in Japanese fashion and was used in the Doo Ri show to accentuate the grey hues in most of the line. It's all in art and it's all in fashion. And I feel is Lady Gaga can sit and accept an award with some red lace covering her whole face and have her dancers rock it out with lace panties on their face, Doo Ri can go for the chilly kiss face.
