Spring / Summer 2012- makeup trends

Here's a look at some of the best makeup trends from the Spring/Summer 2012 runways....

Derek Lam. This is one of my favourite looks this spring. Strong brow and lips

Jeremy Scott

Givenchy. I love this hair. It's a great transition for my clients who are growing out their fringe.

Louis Vuitton.  Natural makeup, with false lashes.

Michael Kors. Another of my favourite looks from the spring runways. Love those peach cheeks!

Soft, muted neutrals shown at Valentino.

What are your favourite makeup trends for Spring/Summer?

White, Coral and Floral...

There's three things in fashion that let me know that Summer is around the corner:  White, Coral and Floral.

Even though I don't wear a ton of white, coral or floral...it still makes me happy to see them in the stores and on the streets. When done well, they can really look amazing!

Not to mention that Coral is the hottest nail colour of the season!

After a long Canadian winter, I find them really refreshing!

Alexa Chung....Behind the Scenes (Elle uk)

Alexa Chung graces this month's cover of Elle UK.
She's extremely stylish, beautiful and has killer legs.....I'd like to hate her, but she's just really cool and seems pretty down to earth.
Check out the link below to a video on Elle TV, that shows the "behind the scenes" from the photo shoot.

Dreaming of NYC...

I'll be heading down to New York City at the end of November. I go with the same great girlfriends every year and (since we missed our annual spring trip) I'm dieing with anticipation!

Two stores I simply love to shop when I'm in NYC is Topshop, (no surprise there) and Uniqlo.

I can't wait to see this +J line. Hope it's still there when I arrive. Love this model's hair too! It reminds me of when I had extensions in. I love messy hair. (When it's cool messy, with lots of disconnection).

Topshop......

How I love thee.....

Leopard sunglasses. Yes please!

 This coat is to die for!

love high waisted skirts!

this leaf cuff is soooo fall!

I'm not sure if I would wear this, but it's so cute!

I'll take a pair of these!

Love, love, love knee high socks.

Ode to Summer....

Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE Fall fashion! It is my all-time favourite season to shop and dress for. I know that I will be blogging about it a lot at Stells and Co, so I thought (with Fall being around the corner), I would post once more about what I loved this Summer for fashion. Here is my "Ode to Summer"....

Cute floral dresses. They can be worn "cutesy" or "grungy", either way I love them.

Moschino Cheap and Chic. I love this line. Every one of these outfits is very "ME"!

Dresses, leggings and sandals..... pretty much my summer uniform.

White 3/4 length blazers...hot for summer.

"Resort Chic" a summer party must.

Summer Blonde's. Love how they are "root-y" this year.

Guy's with tattoos. Summer= more exposed skin. HOT!

Celebrity Home Decor#1

If you're like me,.... you love to look inside the homes of celebrities. Especially, to see how they've decorated them. Here are a few pics of celeb and designers rooms that I just love. Hope you enjoy! It really makes me want to re-paint my whole apartment!!!

The first one is the living room of fashion model, Jessica Stam. I just love the colour palette..... SO pretty and fresh.

Next we have the living room of "Sex and the City" author, Candace Bushnell. Love a great bookcase! Not to mention that great chaise!

Here's what fashion designers Gilles Mendel's bedroom looks like. HOT!

Check out fashion designers Nanette Lapore's bedroom looks like. (This is my fave pic).

Lastly, we have celebrity hairstylist Frederic Fekkai's living room.

Marc Jacob- spring 2010 makeup

I'm loving the theatrical, gothic-like makeup at Marc Jacobs spring 2010 show. (The hair you can tell was very much inspired by ballet dancers). Very pale faces and a certain air from the 80's "New Romantic" scene...... Siouxsie Sue, or Adam Ant, anyone?
I can't say this is an everyday (wear to the office) kind of look. But one can take certain elements from the look to update their style. That tight bun would not be very comfortable to wear, but I love it for the runway, especially because it lets the makeup really shine.
What do you think? What other runway looks for 2010 inspire you? What will you be changing/ updating for the new trends?
