Organize How You Shop With Lyst!

lyst.com

If there are two things I do compulsively, it’s make lists and online shop. (And also leave things in carts too long and lose my pending purchases). Lyst changed all of that for me! The website lets you shop top brands and designers and create boards so you can shop by style, outfit, season or however else you like to categorize. You then name that Lyst and it’s saved so you can go back and view/purchase items at any time (provided it’s not sold out). There’s also the added functionality of being able to follow your favorite brands and other people’s Lysts to discover more looks.

Naeem Khan beauty look 2015

Backstage at Naeem Khan various teams worked to get the models runway ready for what would be a big showing as the brand celebrates their 10th anniversary collection at New York Fashion Week. Julie Kandalec and the Essie team created a brand new color mixture to accent Khan’s glamorous gowns. It’s a mix of gold and silver that results in a warm, champagne tone. “The idea is to bridge the gap between warm and cool and still get that shine,” said Kandalec. To get the look yourself layer two coats of shifting power with a thin coat of jiggle hi, jiggle lo and polish it off with their glossy good to go topcoat.

From the textured bangs created by Orlando Pita for Tresemme, and intensely hot blacked out, “wide eye wanderlust” eyes by Sarah Lucero for Stila Cosmetics to the edgy negative space chevron manicure by Michelle Saunders for Essie. The entire look was edgy and cool and yet still very natural when it went down the runway.

For the SAUNDER F/W15 collection the designer pays tribute to Henry VII and once again collaborated with accessories designer, Megan Isaacs. Together they brought Tudor themes into contemporary fashion designs. Saunder’s collection mixed feminine and masculine silhouettes and utilized traditional fabrics of tweed and tartan to create romantic looks and tailored jackets and pants. The collection made an abundant use of textures (a big trend were seeing for the season). The accessories encompassed pearls along side studs in gold, silver and gunmetal. The Anglo period was represented throughout the collection in a very modern way. And because we know you can’t stop starring at the makeup the look was created by Mehron Makeup (you can read all about it on their BLOG).

The look, which was created by Madeline Poole, for Christian Louboutin Beauté was inspired by the colors used throughout the line and to complement the collection with geometrical precision nail art. “I had an intuition we would be using a small square motif,” said Poole. “Michelle and Carly had the clever idea to paint the square appliqués in nail colours that matched the collection.”
