Staying Cozy This Winter

December 11th, 2009

Fashion and freeze – Cozy and blah….  Should you have to compromise your fashion sense for the sake of staying warm and even healthy?  The art of layering may be the solution to this common winter fashion predicament.  See the following photos for the perfect example!

First begin with a simple tee and tights

Rusnak’s Night of Luxury – Saturday, Oct 17, 2009

Rusnak's Night of Luxury

A night of elegance and Hollywood Glamour! Kevan Hall’s Spring 2010 show takes us back to the classic 1960’s with polished and graceful gowns and day dresses. The show, which took place in the Hollywood Hills, was nothing but splendid! Beginning with the “runway” which consisted of a set of grand steps, each model looked stunning and statuesque. Hall’s vintage-inspired collection, including beehive bouffants, was rich, vibrant, and beautiful!

Balmain Spring 2010 Minidress – Who Wore it Better?

October 23rd, 2009

Sometimes we wonder where runway fashion ends up. There just aren’t many people who can pull off the looks that we’ve grown so accustomed to seeing during Fashion Week – even in New York City.

In fact, one of the few places we can consistently look towards to see designer fashion in action is the red carpet. This week, we New Yorkers were treated to a display of designer fashion at a Broadway red carpet event. Sienna Miller, now starring in After Miss Julie, arrived in a sleek, asymmetrical minidress from the Balmain Spring 2010 collection – a dress that we recognized immediately from the runway.

For your enjoyment, we have photos of Sienna Miller and Balmain’s runway model (below). Who do you think wore it better?

The Shoulder Pads Are Back On!

October 13th, 2009

Nearly after a two-decade hiatus, it appears that the stars are leading us back to rock the pads.  While some may be averse to the trend (been there done that), this look offer some valuable benefits.  First off, it creates the illusion of a  slender or more waist, and lets not forget the physical protection…  Lets see who rocked the look!
