Milano Moda Donna 2010: Prada Mode Fashion Shows

Woman Prada Winter 2011 Miss you bon-ton, graceful, austere and rigorous, nearly like a schoolmarm with a set of other times of glasses.

He appeared a preview seem at Milan Moda Donna, Does not give room for smudging, to wander or superficiality.

Chemises from wearing the Print window that is repeated like a photocopy, to pull the strings tight at the waist by a strap thin coat embellished in Jersey plastic raincoat but camel, silk cigarette pants, skirts wheel, small jackets.

While the trend chosen lines from Prada cut retro descending along the bust and open below the waist, this air stiff, also hides a woman’s bold but compex, leading stiletto-heeled sandals with socks heavy and knee-length skirts soft volumes, with ruffles.

Triumph cutting trapezoidal and the bell shape, but and breasts that are concentrated the concentration of Read-Through a particular procedure that exalts.

Stiff bodices fifties-sixties, heels ruffles and attractive, creating it feminine, but not at all over the top. Even when casually ribbed wool wearing clothes socks with Pointed Pumps.

Best of 2008: Fabulous Fashion Week Shows

2008 spawned a tremendous flurry of fabulous Fashion Week shows. Let's see, there were New York Fall and Spring shows, Milan Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, and LA Fashion Week. Oh, and don't forget all of the ravishing Resort and Pre-Fall collections. Some of my faves were Proenza Schouler's Fall line, Alexander Wang's Spring offerings, and Balmain's Spring collection in Paris. All different, all divine. Which were your favorites? Jog your memory, and check out all of our 2008 Fashion Week coverage.

Lauren Conrad’s Fashion Line

You may know Lauren Conrad also known as L.C from her stint on Laguna Beach but she has become more central to the fashion world through her recent show The Hills. This show sees Lauren undergo a Teen Vogue internship and an education in fashion.

Given her experience and successful fame it makes sense that she would go on to create her own fashion line and that she did. The new clothing line is quite plain but incredibly stylish proven less is more. I love the Audrina Dress (inset). It’s flirty, fun and floaty. It’s available in colours, black, godiva and sienna and is priced at $180.

Haute Trash: Fashion from Rubbish

Trash to Fashion Awards New Zealand

Trash to fashion is not a new concept, but might be just a little out there for most. TreeHugger has touched on trash fashion before in the story on Trashin' Fashion and Trashion. Personally I love the inventiveness of anybody willing to turn old trash into wearable art which is what most of these creations are. But ... Who is doing it? And why?

Haute Trash is a troupe of artists and designers who produce runway fashion shows and other performance art featuring haute couture made from society's trash, they create fashion out of trash in order to entertain, educate and empower others to rethink, reuse and recycle. They are appearing at Burning Man's Green Open House on 14 April and Sierra College Earth Day Celebration on 19 April.

Trash to Fashion, New Zealand’s largest recycled art/fashion show is on every year in November. Entrants must first register and then have 4 months to create something in one of the several categories.

Windfall ecology festival June 2007: Trash Fashion & Design Awards combines and celebrates the elements of fashion design with the creative use of garbage.

Junk to Funk: Recycled Fashion Show Contest - a night of trash, fashion, art and sustainability in Portland.

Junk to Funk Vancouver: an Eco-Fashion, Art and Design exhibition part of Vancouver Youth Awards, to be held in May.

Slowing down

"Children can teach us a lot about time. No one has told them there is a shortage of it in the modern world, so they take all the time they need to put on their shoes, make a finger painting, stare at a ladybird on a leaf. Let go and enjoy this moment with them, and you've given them something far more important than a new toy or designer outfit." (Maya Fiennes, Yoga for Real Life.) 

I rush around everywhere and am constantly telling my child to hurry. It's not good, I know (sigh). So this is what I want to try to do this weekend. Slow down. And go at his pace.

Is this something you need to work on, too?

Power Plate challenge!

Ten minutes, twice a week, of standing or sitting on a machine that vibrates. That's all you need to do and you will be fit in no time. Doesn't that sound like a dream? Well, it does to me because I hate going to the gym and as much as I love yoga, I find that it does nothing for the figure.

I have been wanting to try the Power Plate for at least a year and a half now. I was always put off by how expensive it was, though. So imagine my joy when I found a studio that is offering four weeks (twice a week) at a really reasonable price and I (along with a friend) have signed up for it!

There are plenty of celebrities (Claudia Schiffer, Elle MacPherson, Gemma Arterton) and other famous people (Serena Williams, national sports / Olympic teams) who use it. See the list of high profile users here.

Have you ever tried it?

Daily make-up

Before the move, I put a few make-up essentials in a bag and packed everything else away. My make-up drawers don't have a proper home yet (they are in my wardrobe!) and I'm too tired these days to be that creative... so I've just been using these products... for an entire month (I'm shocked, this never happens)!

Face:

NARS Sheer Glow foundation in Stromboli

NARS Laguna bronzer

NARS Penny Lane cream blush - Very pleased with this! Adds a subtle flush. But doesn't always last all day.

NARS Orgasm blush - I sometimes apply this over the cream blush.

Eyes:

NARS Rajasthan eyeshadow duo - I still love this! Good thing I got a back-up! 
MAC Technakohl liner in Graphblack or
Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof in black - Fantastic eyeliner, doesn't budge, I have multiple back-ups of this!
MAC Zoom Lash mascara in black or
Chanel Inimitable Intense mascara in black

Lips:

MAC Patisserie (lustre lipstick) with
MAC Love Nectar (lustreglass lipgloss) - Peachy pink with some golden shimmer. Comes with a brush wand, which I like best. My favourite combination of MAC lip products.

L to R: Patisserie, Love Nectar, both together

Nails:
Chanel Rose Confidentiel (491) - I knew I wasn't going to have the time to look after my nails during the move so I stuck to a neutral dusty rose colour.
