Vivienne Tam SS13

Vivienne Tam is always such a pleasure to watch.

She always utilizes creativity, her heritage and her love of yoga into her collections.

Spring/Summer 2013, inspired by the five elements of Chinese cosmology: metal, wood, water, fire and earth, was a refreshing sight to behold. [Read more...]

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Premiere: Osklen SS13

Our dream is to one day sip a caipirinha along the coastline in Rio with a saucer-shaped straw hat atop our tresses, clad in a body-con dress, with our over-sized Aviators upon our perfectly lined, in liquid noir, eyes gazing into the sunset…

…until such time we can embrace Osklen’s SS13 collection, which oozed every ounce of an “endless summer.”

Oskar Metsavaht (a former surfer), titled his well-respected Brazilian-based Osklen’s SS13 collection appropriately. An “endless summer,” in every which way, the collection was inspired by the California surf culture and the Brazilian soul of Ipanema. [Read more...]

Usually when dealing with cats whether stray or domestic, they run from you or hide under the bed and are very “keep-to-themselves” loner types.

Well, not this kitty!

She’s popping up everywhere around the world showing off her famous mug and saying ‘Hello’ to everyone!

She’s been doing this for over 35 years and is showing no sign of slowing down.

If you ask me, she’s a bit of a an attention whore.

I’m talking about the uber famous Kitty White, who’s stage name is Hello Kitty. [Read more...]

MAD WOMEN logo/name/likeness by Sasha H. Muradali. 2009 All Rights Reserved.

AMC’s Emmy-Award Winning and ultra golden oldies hip television show Mad Men is pure vintage goodness.

So, while, there is a fine line between looking contemporary classic and actually looking like you are going to a 1960s themed dance party, a few period-inspired pieces can go a long way.

…You too, can look the part without looking like you stepped back in time, literally. [Read more...]

{Beautirati} I Touch Roses: Spidergirl & some Eurphoria

Beautirati logo by Sasha H. Muradali. 2009 All Rights Reserved.

Have you ever come across something that exceeded whatever expectations you set for it? Well, that was me with a mineral makeup brand called I Touch Roses. It’s my new favourite eye shadow brand.

It’s afforable, lively, rich in colour and flat-out awesome! If you have ever used MAC and know anything about pigments – then you’ll completely understand where I am coming from when I say this – this has the pigment of MAC products.

It’s really rare that I come across a brand and would automatically feel comfortable purchasing their products just like that – I would do that with I Touch Roses. [Read more...]

Pink may be ‘the color’ of Spring 2009, but I’m convinced the fashion world is still reeling off of last winter’s lapis binge and are hanging onto lavender as a happy haven. 

 

It’s shown up on Fergie for MAC’s latest set of Viva Glam advertisements. Then, back-to-back, lavender lipsticks appeared in two separate campaigns: Cream Team (Lavender Whip) and Hello Kitty (Fashion Mews and Fast Friends).

 

Selling out quicker than most any other color from [Read more...]
