Cara Delevingne Takes Manhattan
Since signing on as the face of Burberry a few seasons ago Cara Delevingne has gone from Poppy’s little sister to the girl with the mega brows—in our book at least. Delevingne opened Christopher Bailey’s Spring show in London in a world exclusive for Burberry, but that was last season. And, well, this is this [...]
Ming Dynasty Meets Old Hollywood, Backstage At Jason Wu
After making its debut backstage at Marc Jacobs two seasons ago, the “dominatrix ponytail” has been getting a lot of backstage play.

The 411: Gucci Westman
Every international fashion week has its fixtures, and the New York shows just wouldn’t be the same without Gucci Westman.

EXCLUSIVE: The Kiwis Are Coming! The Kiwis Are Coming!
As New Zealand native Soraya Hendesi tells it, the rationale behind launching her own skincare brand was fairly simple. “I [was] horrified that some so-called ’skincare’ can, over time, actually do more damage than good.” A trained cosmetologist, Hendesi was “determined to create something better.” Enter Snowberry, her collection of face-savers formulated with homegrown natural [...]
One Love’s Early Riser
While we usually prefer to reserve fragrance for our pulse points, a subtly scented skincare product never fails to woo us. Linda Rodin’s exceptional, jasmine-heavy Olio Lusso immediately comes to mind but others have struck our fancy, including One Love Organic’s latest concoction. The niche-brand-that-could’s new Morning Glory Brightening Complexion Booster is an aromatic [...]

Diamond Dolls
There are a few things about star-studded award galas that always remain constant. The (borrowed) rocks will be big, and celebrities’ pores will be small as they take their turn on the red carpet. The right jewelry and the right facial can be the difference between winding up on a best-dressed list and becoming fodder [...]
Getting Even With Sun Spots
Summer might be a distant memory at this point, but the effects of those sun-drenched days often appear around now in the form of freckles, age spots, and dark patches. Getting rid of stubborn pigmentation requires diligence, as the slightest slip-up in your SPF application (even in the light-deprived days of winter) can trigger new [...]
Vitamin D Does A Body Good
Vitamin D, and specifically how we’re not getting nearly enough of it (a recent study found three out of four people are deficient), has been a hot topic in the media for the past few years, as a true depletion of the nutrient can spell trouble for most everything in your body, including your bones, [...]
That’s “Doctor” Aniston To You; Megan Fox Gets Made Up; And More…
If Jennifer Aniston wasn’t an actress, she’d be a dermatologist, she admits in the March issue of InStyle. “I’m fascinated by skin, products, and lasers. I go on the Internet and read all about it. I call it ‘laser porn,’ ” Aniston jokes. [Hollywood Life]
