We are dialing on the keypad to get a hold of…Ciara! She can sing, she can her dance her butt off and oh yeah, she has model good looks as well. Ciara was definitely born to be a star.
The fabulous new mommy has her fit little body back and has been sporting some amazing couture style. Nevertheless, this call is strictly beauty related so let’s talk makeup. We think Ciara pulls off the natural face look extremely well. With that bone structure and smile you really don’t need much. However, we love when starlets mix it up, so Ciara’s red lip look definitely caught our attention. A bold look that was showcased well thanks to the rest of her makeup being more muted.

Jason Ryan stole the show at last night’s Metropolitan Fashion Week and one thing is clear, Los Angeles is in love.
At the garden oasis of Greystone Mansion, guests sat in awe of Ryan’s monotone avant-garde collection. Opera singer Nicolette Holman opened the show with a haunting voice that perfectly represented the theme of Jason Ryan’s collection. The designer debuted 10 menswear and 7 womenswear pieces from his collection Resentment. Run. Evil.
In the dramatic presentation, all the models wore pale body suits covering them from head to toe and ornate headpieces that sat as crowns on their heads. All eyes were locked on the designs, and as the finale gown made its way down the runway the entire audience was under Jason Ryan’s spell.
As the favorite of Los Angeles fashion week, it is clear the designer has made his mark on the fashion community, and all doors are now open.
JASON RYAN features masterfully created ready-to-wear and avant-garde high end menswear. Each collection is highly stylized and driven by a strong central theme. The designs are known for their impeccable artistry and thoughtful embellishment.
Often full of high-drama, the meticulous detailing and innovative structures of the designs create an encompassing sensory experience. The current 2014 Holiday Collection, Resentment.Run.Evil, features several womens-wear pieces showcasing a feminine edge.
The Designer
Avant-garde menswear designer, Jason Ryan has rapidly gained attention as one of the most watched breakout designers of the season.

Metropolitan Fashion Week events are held in dramatic, non-traditional venues that showcase not just best fashion designers or costume designers, but the most beautiful venues each city has to offer.
Hair Notes: Rapunzel let down your hair! The jaw-dropping fashions of Jason Ryan’s collection were definitely the belle of the ball, but we couldn’t help but fall in love with the overall styling of the models. The lovely and dramatic hair was adorned with floral and rope detailing. The couture and the styling were simply divine!
Want more couture fashion? Here’s a fashion book we are absolutely crushing on right now: Saint Laurent Rive Gauche: Fashion Revolution. As any fashionista knows, Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to launch the modern concept of luxury ready-to-wear clothing with a collection called Rive Gauche in 1966. Our favorite year 😉
Exploring Laurent’s progressive approach to fashion, Saint Laurent Rive Gauche highlights the cultural impact of the brand, especially its influence on women during the late 60s and 70s. Enjoy the book!
It does not matter what season it is, it is never wrong to wear color. Vibrant tints do not need to be reserved for spring and summer only. Now of course we do not want anyone looking like they belong in a pack of Skittles, but color when done correctly is very fresh and hip.
Case in point, check out Kelly Rowland when she attended New York Fashion Week. Her skirt pops yet it does not overpower her overall look. We love the two-tone skirt being paired with a tee shirt. The outfit is very laid back, but still comes off super stylish. Therefore, add some color this season to add some dimension to your fall and winter looks.
Hair Quickie: Sulfates can be found in products such as shampoo or conditioner and are designed to help remove dirt and oil. The removal of such of debris is a good thing, but as mama always said, “Too much of a good thing can be bad.” Using products with sulfates too often can lead to your hair being stripped, not good especially if you are trying to grow out your mane. Limiting sulfate products and using sulfate-free products instead is the best defense against this harmful hair offense. If possible, try to use sulfate products once a month.
Every woman should have a few sophisticated handbags to tote around town tucked away safely in her wardrobe. A chic black bag will go with many of your cute ensembles adding a luxe and classy factor. Fabi’s collection for this autumn/winter includes well-crafted as well as designed handbags for the modern woman. Remember a great accessory makes an outfit even grander.
Hair Quickie: Your tap water could be stripping your hair of the moisture it needs to stay healthy. Pure water has a PH balance of 7, however, the water supply in many areas do not match this number. The mineral deposits that can be left behind on tresses will not only cause them to be drier than the desert, but this dryness could then lead to breakage. Testing your water with PH Balance strips can help you gauge what type of water may be affecting your hair. Now, please note your water may not be the culprit behind your hair’s dryness. Nevertheless, knowledge and prevention is the best way to grow and maintain the length of your hair.
