This post has been brought to you by the color grey, and soft, luscious fabrics. February 25, 2010 In the midst of a messy wintry mix pelting Manhattan, industry professionals and celebrities dashed nimbly from their cars and taxis into the inviting arms of the IAC Building, the location playing host to the second annual USA Network’s Character Approved Awards. Meant to honor individuals in the arts whose work has influenced and inspired our world and culture, the awards presentation was a lively, opulent affair that drew a remarkably large and impressive crowd despite the bad weather. Story continued and photos after the cut…
Continue reading IFB Presents Links à la Mode: “Fashion Flashback” 1. Minnie Mouse Makeup Tutorial: I have been a long time fan of Doe Deere’s makeup tutorials, but this Minnie Mouse one takes the cake. Cuteness! 2. IE6 Funeral: I know this isn’t polite to say about the deceased, but I have to be honest - he was crotchety, cruel, and incredibly corrupt. I’m glad he’s dead. They can’t dig a hole deep enough, IMO. 3. Magical Flowers: A rare Buddhist flower that blooms once every 3,000 years? Growing under your washing machine? That’s not news - THAT is the plot of a kung-fu movie.
1. If you had your own ship, what would you name it? 2. Learn how to make a house of cards. 3. If you could be a bird, which kind would you choose, and why? I wore this little number to the USA Character Approved Awards last week (article coming later this week in which I will dish). As the eastcoasters will know, it was rather horrible weather on Thursday, so I was looking for something warm and spiffy.
Reading through the links this week, I realized that fashion week or no fashion week, fashion will most certainly go on! A winter snowstorm couldn’t even slow down New York Fashion Week, and the links below are testament to the wonderful style that exists beyond the runway, such as Ode to Awe’s jewelry discovery, how to look chic while lounging by Cafe Fashionista, and tips for vintage shoe shopping by Wicked Whimsy. Don’t get me wrong, I love being ‘in the know’ on runway looks and trends, but how you interpret them and work them into your personal style is so much more important than remembering which designers showed one-shoulder looks this season! As expected, there was a fabulous round-up of links in the forum as well, all worthy of your eyeballs! Continue reading IFB Presents Links à la Mode: “Project Beyond the Runway” 1. Zach Genin: Loving the photography collection posted by BOOOOOOOM. So simple and unaffected, and pure beauty. 2. How They Became…The Flaming Lips: The Flaming Lips explain the origins of their band name, and some of their favorite/most hated band names out there. (PS: I am tingling with anticipation about seeing them live next month, so prepare to be inundated by Flaming Lips stuff from me.) 3. Top 10 Plants for Removing Indoor Toxins: As if I didn’t have enough to worry about, now I have to be concerned about INDOOR POLLUTION in my house. Ick. Fortunately, there are some plants that can assist me in cleaning my air, so I don’t have to go around my domicile with one of those creepy face masks.
1. Memorize the names of all the world’s seas. 2. Write a list of 10 amazing adventures you wish to have. 3. Wear a pocket watch. 4. Collect daggers. 5. Invent a new milkshake flavor. I wore this little number to the IFB Conference on Evolving Influence, which I will be reporting on in more detail later. I adore this dress, which I snapped up at the local Goodwill a couple of months ago. The color palette is so warm, and the gradation of color is still as fresh visually as it was when created lord knows back when. Also, it fits me rather wonderfully.
