Update: if you’d like to know how to create the look for yourself, visit our Chanel glittery eye makeup tutorial. Finding a happy medium between being too dull and being completely over-bedazzled, the beauty look at this morning’s Chanel fall 2013 show was just glittery enough. It may have been a little too much for your average daytime street look, but you can imagine it…

It’s as much anticipated for its high energy performances and props as it is for the actual lingerie… and each year Victoria’s Secret delivers something that’s as bouncy and glittery as you can possibly imagine. While this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show won’t be broadcast until Tuesday, Dec. 4 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, that doesn’t mean we can’t get some sneak…

A tuxedo doesn’t just offer the wearer a sharp outfit option; it bestows a kind of confidence. When wearing one, it’s hard not to saunter into a room with the masculine-meets-feminine swagger of a Marlene Dietrich or a Katherine Hepburn. A soft, ultra-now take may not meet the same level of imposing tailoring and structure; but the essence of the tuxedo seeps through. The confidence…

With any Chloe collection comes a certain expectation. Its an expectation of effortless glamour, an expectation that you’ll fall in love at first sight with the soft Parisian quality and mood of the clothing.
