Cue the Girls

I like to equate fashion shows to an all grown up version of dress-up. With the Disney costumes now replaced with designer creations and the make-up painted on by true professionals, it's what every girl was pretending in her mind. While there is something to be said for the avante garde make-up that comes down the runway, these fresh faced looks are easily attainable with a couple eyeshadows and lipstick colors. You might even get a double take...in a good way, of course!

Mixing and Not Matching

A few of my favorite styling techniques were quite apparent in new looks during fashion week. By mixing femininity and boyish charm, these designers always have me wanting and waiting for more. I couldn't be happier that some of my favorite trends are here to stay... all the way into fall.

The Hills to Bryant Park

Whitney Port wouldn't be the first name I would associate with fashion week, but I'll give the girl props. Her spring line for Whitney Eve debuted Thursday with a whimsical and flirty vibe that isn't afraid to show a little leg. Something that can come in handy here in the Valley, where it's always ten degrees hotter. With typical spring pastels, the line showcases pieces I would love to have in my closet several months down the road. Hey! I've gotta get through fall first.

Not too shabby, right? I'm happy that the most grounded and mature girl of that show(at least that's my opinion) has created a name for herself outside reality television. She could have easily joined the group of fame whores like that blonde married couple I shall not even name.

Have a great weekend everyone!
