Clad in Plaid!

Enough said. Always a notational pattern that Autumn is here, we celebrate the first few days with this post. Showing ways all members of the family can welcome this time of the year. The Sex and the City Movie enters my mind when I think about plaid accessories, how Charlotte is always shown jogging in Central Park wearing her Burberry ear muffs, walking her Cavalier King Charles family all wearing Burberry sweaters. Well, I dont know about you..that's real great for Char and the Upper East, but as I prefer more subtle smatterings of the fantastic pattern. Starting with the Little Marc Jacobs Romper! His new line is truly adorable, as if I was reluctant to kids before, now I must have! John Galliano knows just how to make me grin with his "Tailored to a Ty" fit. This woven is the poster child to Lux-Grunge. Flowing into a woman's wardrobe comes a Nanette Lepore Gigi wool skirt. Her A-symmetrical lines and "moth eaten" fabrications give an edge to this class. Forgetting our four legged family members? No, not talking about Aunt Patrice after three Dry Martinis, I happen to be speaking more along the lines of K-9. The fabulous Florence plaid check custom bed, quick to remind us why these little guys are mans best friend. And to keep the whole fam dry during those sweet smelling rain storms? We just had to take a leaf from the book of Charlotte York Goldenblatt and pick up Walker umbrella. With the Burberry double black lacquered handle, this piece of iconography will stand the test of time as does the classic check. Welcome to Fall!

Begining to Beautify!

I was a make-up artist for a few years before entering the world of fashion; as the face so many times will complete the look of a designer, I thought it was imperative to have the know-how to do anything. You name it, I have been up against it. Woman falling asleep during a blush application? Yes( I can't help that my blending technique creates a buffing face massage and puts clients into a trance.) Finding a bronzer for the local college quarterback? Check. Explaining to an Russian immigrant why it is necessary to have two, yes two eye brows. Yepper!

It was always surprising to me how many women... and men, knew absolutely nothing about make-up. It occurred to me, this world that was mine, could be quite intimidating to an on looker. Needless to say, I got your back ladies...and gents.

Clarins has provided the best in class brow kit. This baby, is my obsession. Kept brows, mascara, and a lip balm will get you out the door in one minute. Flat. This ultra fit compact holds three brow powders( so much more impactfull than a brow pencil) a wax to keep them tidy, a highlighting cream to provide depth to your delightful arch, tweezers, and a grooming wand. All for $35.00 nordstrom.com

Enter the MAC quad. Thier Fall foursome is brilliant in color and even more clever in composition. The blue-grey tones of this fantastic pallet are sure to bring out any eye this season, works well with all eye colors. Explore your options! Darkest for crease of the eye, or liner, lightest under brow, mid? To the lid! $35.00maccosmetics.comSuper size your cheek this Autumn with NARS "Super Orgasim" The lines cult classic "Orgasm" comes to us in full effect with a finely milled shimmer. Adding a glow to the harvest apple of your face. $25.00 narscosmetics.com
Dior comes to us with one hell of an amazing color. "Biege Satin Crepe" when I say this is the most versital lipstick, I mean it. Wear her light alone, add a plum or berry liner, blend and you will have your own custome shade! Love that! $28.00 nordstrom.com
Ohh Chanel. The one and only that I recomend for nails. Now, I truley believe that some products are all the same, nail polish remover is nail polish remover, a nail file is a nail file. Fair enough. As for polish? Polish is as different as you and I. The only one I constantly coat on my clients, is Chanel. This seasonal shade is Rouge Noir. Need I say more? $23.00 neimanmarcus.com
