23.Jun.2006, 07:11 am

Duques de Kristopher do escritor da formaAmor do la de Ooh.

Eu gosto de começar todo dolled acima por datas do latte do soy com meu laptop, meu pouco iBook trato-me como uma princesa (ao contrário do meu PC parasite-montado).

Lotta Stensson vestido: Eu penso que eu moldarei apenas este vestido em vez de o pendurar acima em meu armário. Beading Gorgeous, um corte elegante, e uma cintura da gota fazem-lhe o flapper, bordas cruas e um neckline baixo mantê-lo fresco.

Bombas de Ponyskin: Calfhair imprimi com leopardo, plataforma emparelhada com um stiletto, cintas delicadas do slingback, eu estou desgastando estes saltos à morte, posso você responsabilizar-me? Uma polegada mais alto, e estes saltos seria colado a meus pés.

E minha receita diária para a cara:

5 libras. e.l.f. Sombra do “Drama”
preto de 3 revestimentos mascara
Mancha do preto forro do olho
Traço de e.l.f Do “balm do bordo da nata Strawberry”
Pinch de e.l.f “Blusher do Radiance natural”

Se você não souber já, todo o e.l.f. os cosméticos são $1 um o PNF, e você pode comece um estojo compacto livre quando você comprar quatro ou mais elementos.

Melhor dos elementos do estilo: Terno curto dos Shorts

16.Jun.2006, 07:50 am

Duques de Kristopher do escritor da formaEu encontrei este terno em uma caixa de minha roupa velha da escola elementar; perdoe-me seus enrugamentos.

Terno de vestido de linho da marinha: Seja repugnado, seja divertido - este terno de linho da marinha é da terceira classe; Eu acredito meu mom comprado lhe para Easter domingo. Que sorte de rochas oito-ano-velhas um terno de linho da marinha? Que sorte da lata 20 algo-ano-velha coube ainda em sua roupa de pre-puberty? Em duds do desenhador antes que eu poderia se importar, agora uma senhora nova dos hábitos questionáveis comer, que outro poderia I ser mas um escritor da forma.

Scarf do Vintage: Comprou este scarf hand-painted do vintage em um boutique do vintage do San Francisco esse roupa dos pimps pela libra.

Plataformas da cunha do ouro: Meu amante platonic - “mais melhor amigo de menina lido” - deu-me estes sandals do ouro como um presente do aniversário. Com um amor para os saltos do hooker e sono substituir com lattes do soy, nós somos alma/únicos mates.

And my daily recipe for face:

5 lbs. e.l.f.’s “Drama” eyeshadow
3 coats black mascara
Smear of black eye liner
Dash of e.l.f’s “Strawberry Creme” lip balm
Pinch of e.l.f’s “Natural Radiance” blusher

Best of Elements of Style: A Muumuu Turned Miu Miu

02.Jun.2006, 08:29 am

Elements of Style Fashion Writer Kristopher DukesThis is one of my favorite outfits - translated into catty fashionista-ese, that means, yes, I’ve mismatched these shoes with this dress before.

I adore this dress - the psychedelic pattern, the simple cut. It was actually my friend’s mother’s muu-muu from the 70’s. I trimmed it down and accidentally shrunk it in the washer, et voila! Eva Franco makes a similar floral frock you could rock.

The belt is by Yudit M - it’s a tad hard to make out, but it has these beautiful cut-outs similar to those that decorate their handbags. Sometimes I also sport a Chanel knock-off Chanel-inspired leather and chain belt over the dress.

Everyone thinks the tights are by Dolce Dior & Gabbana Gucci Pucci, but I actually bought them at Target a few years ago. I’m eying these Frederick’s of Hollywood leaf-patterned tights as their successor.

I bought my lime and black-spotted peep-toe pumps on sale a year or so ago at an Upper East Side boutique. The poor darlings’ leather is getting crackly since I’ve soaked them in New York rain, so I might replace them with C Label peep-toe wedges. targettightsEva Franco green bright floral strapless dressC Label navy leather peep toe 'Spellbound' wedges

Best of Elements of Style: Cocktail Dress and Cowgirl Boots

26.May.2006, 09:15 am

Fashion Writer Kristopher DukesWe all have those little outfits we toss on to run errands. Here’s what I rock when I run out for soy milk and Italian roast coffee beans.

Vintage Beaded Cocktail Dress: Originally a frightening full-length 80’s beaded gown, I took my scissors to it, got my tailored involved, and voila! A neo flapper frock.

Cowgirl Boots: Suede pull-on boots with a great stiletto heel and a bit of a cowgirl feel. It’s a secret where they’re from.

Vintage silk paisley scarf: I can’t remember how or when this scarf made it into my wardrobe, but it’s practically disintegrating after years of being worn around my waist, tied onto a purse, and sported as a head scarf.

And my daily recipe for face:

5 lbs. e.l.f.’s “Drama” eyeshadow

3 coats black mascara

Smear of black eye liner

Dash of e.l.f’s “Strawberry Creme” lip balm

Pinch of e.l.f’s “Natural Radiance” blusher

If you didn’t already know, all e.l.f. cosmetics are $1 a pop, and you can get a free compact when you purchase four or more elements.

Elements of Style: More Chiffon, Please

19.May.2006, 10:04 am

Fashion Writer Kristopher DukesGreat Gatsby gone Gap? J Crew jazz baby? I believe I’m saved from prep overdose with my minky pal on my shoulders.

Max Studio Green Chiffon Dress: I slip on this chiffon dress and I can’t figure out why only 70% of my wardrobe is made up of silk dresses.

Vintage belt: Hard to make out, but it’s navy and maroon striped deliciousness. I’m boycotting waist-cinching belts and everything neo 1950’s.

Vintage cap: My mink rosette cap has been glamorously hiding that I desperately need my hair trimmed. Shh.

Vintage wedge platforms: 5″ inches of easy to wear wooden heel. New York City jogging shoes.
And my daily recipe for face:

5 lbs. e.l.f.’s “Drama” eyeshadow
3 coats black mascara
Smear of black eye liner
Dash of e.l.f’s “Strawberry Creme” lip balm
Pinch of e.l.f’s “Natural Radiance” blusher

If you didn’t already know, all e.l.f. cosmetics are $1 a pop, and you can get a free compact when you purchase four or more elements.

Elements of Style: Nautical Dress

14.Apr.2006, 12:33 pm

Fashion Writer Kristopher Dukes Navy and white striped nautical dress: A chic, second-skin-tight birthday gift from Mom.

Brown faux fur coat, vintage: I bought it for a buck from an Los Angelese yardsale. I prefer real dead animals, but faux fur can be sweet, especially a la Rebecca Taylor.

Wooden bangle by Jill.i Designs: it’s made of tiny squares of wood, set between two 14k gold wires.

Leopard-print ponyskin pumps: One of my fav pets, I ooh la love their pin-thin 4″ stiletto. Brian Atwood makes similar leopard slingbacks.

And my daily recipe for face:

5 lbs. e.l.f.’s “Drama” eyeshadow

3 coats black mascara

Smear of black eye liner

Dash of e.l.f’s “Strawberry Creme” lip balm

Pinch of e.l.f’s “Natural Radiance” blusher

Let’s Be Practical - Summer Dress in the Winter

27.Feb.2006, 02:03 am

Blame a Los Angelena childhood, but I refuse to put away my summer dresses even in the middle of Manhattan winter.

Still, I’m not all insensibility — picture one of my summer dresses with a pair of (painted on) jeans, a (ridiculously large cashmere) scarf, (thigh-high) boots, and a (chocolate mink) peacoat.

Slave to fashion, I am not.
