4 Great Fashion and Beauty Finds for February
Print This
Graphic prints—they’re what to buy now. Take a cue from Stella McCartney, who telegraphed the perfect blend of mixed prints in black and white for a bold look. Not only will you make an appearance, it’ll be obvious you have your finger on the pulse of what’s hot right now. Find bold prints at The Met, Macy’s and Free People.
Blue Mood
Seemed like nearly every spring runway channeled some hue of blue on the eyes, from Diane von Furstenberg to 3.1 Phillip Lim to Marc Jacobs. Richly textured eye shadow defines eyes with brilliance and depth whether along lash lines, inner corners or even with an imperfect swath of color on the lids. Fab! M.A.C., $16 each
“Shoes are always the most important thing for me because they are who you are. They change the way you walk, the way you move.” – Tom Ford, designer
Brooch the Subject
The brooch is back. Style stars everywhere are dusting off pins collected by their loving grandmammas. Didn’t inherit something chic? Check out the estate collection at McCarver & Moser. I’m particularly fond of this vintage platinum diamond wreath with dangling pears and special cut baguettes, 13 carats of VVS2/VS1 quality. McCarver & Moser, $32,000
Pump it Up
Manolo Blahnik BB is iconic for a reason; it’s the do-it-all pump. And a modern woman needs stylish shoes to go from desk to dinner. This classic navy version is just the thing, but also nice is a pop of color like pink or cobalt suede. Go all in for the tie-dye version for extra style points Saks Fifth Avenue, $695
