Following months of speculation, Marc Jacobs, creative director of Louis Vuitton since 1997, has confirmed that he is leaving the French fashion house to focus on his eponymous labels, Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs. This Louis Vuitton Womenswear Spring Summer 2014 was his last creation, and what a finale it was!
Marchesa is one of my timeless favorite designers, this year, her Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week spring/summer 2014, ready to wear collection was flowing with ease as fabrics gently slipped along the bodies of the models like a dream out of a fairy-tale. There were some obvious boudoir influences as well, with lingerie detailing on some of the more slip-like numbers and wispy lace cardigans thrown over bralets, worn with big organza and tulle skirts.
Feminine, minimal, and edgy, came to us Victoria Beckhams’s spring/summer 2014 ready to wear collection at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week. White shirts, camisole tops, dresses over pants, and men’s tailoring. More daring and versatile than Victoria ever was with her collections over the last few years. To me, it still carries her signature style in different cuts. I absolutely love Victoria and everything she does, so enjoy the show.
The Gulf region’s only designers on Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week’s schedule, Sheikha Noor Al Khalifa and Sheikha Haya Al Khalifa of Noon by Noor, delivered their spring/summer 2014 ready to wear collection in full-bloom at NYFW to the likes of front row admirers, Solange Knowles and DJ Leigh Lezark. Silhouettes were streamlined, elegant, and femininely authoritative as displayed by voluminous rounded shoulders and slim-fit suits. Bahrain is making me proud!
I’m a product junkie! So i must admit, I try A LOT of products before I can really stick to one that I love, and I’m a very tough judge when it comes to which products those would be! But when I came across this one, I though not sharing it with you dolls would almost feel like a crime! Soap & Glory’s Heel Genius: Amazing Foot Cream, and it literally live up to its name!
Better than a pedicure? Oh yeah! It renovates rough feet in a single overnight session, doubles as a foot cream, and will give even the roughest of cuticles a run for its money. Featuring allantoin, glycerin, macadamia oil, menthol, bilberry, orange and lemon fruit acid smoothers. long story short, byebye cracked summer heels!
The way it works for me? Before bedtime, I scrub my feet while washing them, then run to my beloved cream, massage a good chunk onto my feet, and I don’t rub it all the way through, I kinda leave a light layer of it on, sort of looks like foot mask, then slip my feet into cotton socks, and let it work its wonders while I’m getting my beauty sleep! Result: Waking up to soft-as-ever gorgeous feet from heel to toes.
Heel Genius is available at all Boots stores.
