August 5th, 2010 by kpriss
Red Soles are soooo last season! Here’s the new it soles! Cesare Paciotti’s lace soles! Can you honestly resist to exposing the lace on your shoes soles? I can’t imagine how, really!
I mean who cares about how your shoes look like? Forget that, bet it all on your soles! Your lace soles! Undoubtedly easy to mistake with Louboutins, the Paciotti red soles with lace on feel like another little find to shove heavy prices down on consumers throats. Ahem feet. Glamorous feet, nonetheless!

Would You Wear Fake Eyelashes Made From Flies Legs?
August 5th, 2010 by kpriss
So many daring things out there, all in the name of beauty! Remember the snake venom beauty serum? Challenging cosmetics for challenging times.
However, I wouldn’t go as far as wearing flies legs as false eyelashes! Jessica Harrison did! In the name of art and more. Now if we take a minute and reflect on the state of the cosmetics market, some of the compounds in those daily products we’re so attached to may contain far worse ingredients than leg flies. Now the question is simple: are we ready to ditch our sick routine for the ugly (but natural) truth? (Jessica Harrison via)
Cosmetics, Dare to wear, Unstyle
And Photoshop Created The Distorted Woman
August 5th, 2010 by kpriss
Have you seen the latest in airbrushed ad campaigns? It comes from Ann Taylor and it looks like the one below (the untouched photo at left and the after-photoshop image at right).
There’s really nothing wrong in smoothing the skin a bit, hiding the blemishes, adding a bit of luminosity here, enhancing the shade there. However, there’s something seriously wrong with those who choose to distort the very physical appearance of a woman’s body for advertorial purposes (or whatever purposes). I read an interview with Erin Wasson the other day saying that the fashion industry is run by gay men who don’t fully understand women. How about photoretouching departments? Are they run by blind men/women who have no real representation of the human physical proportions? (Jezebel via nymag)
Designers Manicure
August 5th, 2010 by kpriss
Have you had time to experiment with the latest zipper manicure? Because it’s already soooooo last week! Get ready for the designers manicure now!
It may proved to be a bit trickier than the previous (or not?), however, it’s definitely something you’d want to see! Karl Lagerfeld is on your ring finger and dame Vivienne on your middle finger (how appropriate!) Giorgio Armani holds the index power while Donatella Versace is your pinkie and Alber Elbaz is on your thumb. A handful of designers, are you ready to make your own designers manicure? Which ones would you choose and where would you put them? (via)
Kristen McMenamy Dazed And Confused Vs. Vogue Italy August 2010
August 5th, 2010 by kpriss
There’s definitely something grey in the air as we approach the fall days! Take for instance the August 2010 issue of Dazed and Confused with Kristen Mcmenamy and the August 2010 issue of Vogue Italy (with the same Kristen McMenamy).
As hard to believe as it may be for the fashpopulation out there (and more), Kristen’s grey hair is the result of her normal aging process. No wig (Lady Gaga, anyone?), no fancy dying (Tavi looks familiar, right?), just plain ol’ Kristen thinking that growing old can also be rock’n’roll without layering makeup and disguises. If early on I wished I followed Natalia Vodianova’s fountain of youth policy, now I have to state, in a more realistic note, that I wish I’d be like Kristen Mcmenamy when I grow old and grey. And beautiful. And fashionable. Aaand… I should stop, right? (more images right after the jump, click here for the gallery! Don’t miss the Vogue Italy video!)
The New Sofa Style The Cushionized Sofa
August 4th, 2010 by kpriss
If you’ve been around the Internet lately and haven’t found the new viral Ikea catalog that’s just been released, chances are you’ll be more reluctant to the idea of home interior decoration in the middle of the vacationing season.
However, a single quick look at this Cushionized sofa by Christiane Högner will most definitely change your mind. It’s your childhood dream assembled as a sofa! Pillows, multiplied and piled up to make it look like a sofa. How can you resist? (Christiane Högner via sm; you can see the new Ikea catalog here)
Missoni Fall Winter 2010 2011 Ad Campaign Video
August 4th, 2010 by kpriss
With a little will and drive, anything normal and sweet can become trendy, fancy, artsy and schmancy! Take this new video ad campaign for Missoni Fall Winter 2010 2011! Made by Kenneth Anger, it just takes my love for all things (read prints) Missoni and put it into a bottle, then seal it and throw it away at large.
It just doesn’t … feel right. I imagine it has a significant artistic value and it highlights the main features and strong points of the Missoni label, however, it just fails to be inviting to me. I suppose that back there, at the tip top of the artistic breed, you couple up this kind of video with an illegal substances cocktail and it all makes sense. Well, back here, does it make any sense to you? (via)
How About A Honeymoon Fragrance?
August 4th, 2010 by kpriss
There’s a new thing on the market right now called the Honeymoon fragrance. It’s an all natural perfume made by Stephanie Simek from plant-based oils with no chemicals or alcohol added.
While the description brightens up my day (I love everything-cosmetic that’s natural and chemicals-free), I can’t say the same about the looks of it (or its name). Sea urchins don’t play an inviting tune for me, as for my honeymoon – I like to think of myself and my Adored Husband we’re still there: and endless, daily honeymoon for the rest of our lives! How about you, then? Have you ever imagined your honeymoon to smell like grapefruit and basil essential oils? (via)
