The Whisper Collection

I have to admit something… I’ve never paid a lot of attention to the beauty industry. As someone who’s interested in fashion, I do have an interest in beauty, but not nearly as much. I think a big part of it is that the concept of makeup and techniques required to maximize it’s potential baffles me and so in part I don’t have a connection to it as most women do. That said, I have always been someone who cares about her nails. Ever since I went for my first manicure a few years ago, they have been one of my favourite treats when I can go and get one. I’ll often opt for at home manicures or just bare nails but with the release of Deborah Lippman’s spring collection, I know I’ll be paying more attention to painting them. The four shades are muted nudes that are versatile and elegant. The colours are fairly sheer so she has launched a CC base coat which is like a primer for the nails. You can also use two coats of it as a top coat if you want to get a matte effect. If you’re interested in what the polish looks like on, the colours were used during New York Fashion Week at Badgley Mischka, Theory, and Donna Karan. You can buy the polishes at Sephora.

I’m back again, with my second round up of my favourite shows from New York Fashion Week. After a whirl wind start, designers continue to show their very best for the Spring/Summer 2015 collections. I took it as a personal gift from the fashion industry when some of my favourite designers showed on my 20th birthday (The Row, Thom Browne, Rag & Bone) and as motivation to recap the fashion that followed this week. It continuously blows my mind how much hard work and time goes into these collections and the production of the shows themselves. For seven or eight minutes, the world goes away, and these catwalks become home to hungry eyes looking for the next big thing. I’m so thankful that there are thousands of people out there who love fashion as much as I do, and work so hard to put this together every year. That said, here are some of the shows that took my breathe away:

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for those of us who treat fashion week like Christmas.
