Prada's Barrette-Bedecked Pony

Fall Trend to Try Now:

 

I loved the lock look at Prada’s fall 2011 show. Hairstylist Guido anchored the 1960s Catherine Deneuve-inspired ponytails with a simple, silver Goody barrette.

For a “very girly, very young, innocent sophistication,” he explained. Key styling product: Redken Forceful 23 Super Strength Finishing Spray (AED 58) for lots of texture and hold.

Benefit Finding Mr. Bright

Luminous skin isn’t a trend—it’s a necessity. So to help you easily achieve that lit-from-within glow, Benefit Cosmetics has combined miniature versions of their four top-selling complexion brighteners into one really cool kit (AED 132). Mix and match them day or night and never look dull again: Erase Paste (a creamy camouflage concealer), Girl Meets Pearl (sheer highlighter), PosieTint (poppy tinted lip and cheek stain), and High Beam (pink shimmer complexion enhancer).

Un Jour Dans Ma Vie: 24 Hours in London

8:00 AM: Rise and shine. Have not had a day off in the past few weeks so feeling groggy! 

8:30 AM: Big cup of coffee while catching up on emails. It's cold. Have wrapped myself up in my favorite Toushih cashmere wrap.

9:00 AM: Getting ready, love the Serge Lutens bronzer it gives my tired face a little glow.

9:22 AM: Have to figure out what to wear fast. Decide on a  leopard Stella McCartney dress, YSL platforms and vintage Gucci fur coat and insane Garrard diamond ring.

10:45 AM: Driver Pizza (Yes! That's really  his name. LOL),  pulls up and I jump in and it's off to Harrods.

11:00 AM: Rendez-vous brunch at Caffè Florian with the girls, then a Shopping pit stop was in order. Blown away by Roja Dove scents! Love the twisted glamour.

12:50 PM: Yet another quick shopping spree at Harvey Nicks and Sloane.

2:45 PM: Damage done! Heading to lunch at Joe's.

4:00 PM: Back in the car and headed to Bond then Liberty. Need my retail fix!

5:48 PM: Off to the Hummingbird Bakery for the red velvet—TDF! Insane cue, Pizza goes in to grab us a box.

6:00 PM: Speed back to Knightsbrige.

9:00 PM: Dinner at Hakkasan with the gang. The atmosphere is relaxed, really fun.

12:00 AM: Lights out!

XOXO

Candice Swanepoel Dominates the Runway at PFW

Sure, Miranda Kerr walked the runway again at Balenciaga and Adriana Lima was seen in Givenchy's lineup, but the award for best Victoria's Secret model-to-Paris Fashion Week transition would have to go to Candice Swanepoel. In her first Fashion Week appearance since the Fall 2008 season, she rocked Stop Making Sense shoulders at Stella McCartney and Ghost World specs for Givenchy, got red-faced and avant-garde at Viktor & Rolf, and looked fetching in pink python for Christian Dior. She also hit Isabel Marant this week. What's next for the VS beauty — a luxury campaign, perhaps?
