Just Cavalli

By Nicole Phelps

"At another label, the sand on the runway might've meant we were in for a rugged safari, perhaps featuring clothes with a utilitarian or, at the very least, sporty bent. Not at Just Cavalli. Even in the desert, the designer's party girls wear platform sandals, sequins, and big-time costume baubles. The only real nod to the show's "Back to Nature" title were leopard and zebra prints, but even they were done up in candy-colored silks that were patched together to create vaguely twenties-ish drop-waist dresses, a silhouette that reappeared in peekaboo black lace. The eighties had their moment, too, in the form of flippy denim or leather minis worn with slouchy rolled-sleeve tees featuring—believe it or not—macro-prints of the faces of Roberto and his wife, Eva. The little bit of this, little bit of that approach gave the show an I-just-nicked-this-from-my-mom's-closet vibe, totally in keeping with the way girls too young to remember the eighties dress today. The designers may have indulged their wacky side, but chances are that's just the way their customers like it."

LAURA MERCIER SECRET CAMOUFLAGE,

PERFECT FOR SARAH JESSICA PARKER Sex and the City fever is upon us with the four women in London for the world premiere of the new movie. While everyone focuses on what SJP and the gang are wearing, the make-up that keeps them looking air-brushed is of interest to us.

A self-confessed fan of Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage, SJP wears it daily for seamless cover. She told us: "It covers, it blends, and it doesn't look like you're wearing anything". Well, if it's good enough for her…

BOOK WORM

Keira Knightley has announced that she will be taking a break from Hollywood – and plans to catch up on a bit of reading. The Duchess star might be one of the hottest names at the moment but she’s got an empty schedule and wants to make the most of it. "It's been a strange year as far as films go. With the writers' strike in Hollywood, a lot of financing has fallen through,” she said. "I'm going to sit in my flat, read books and cook."

Beauty Mistakes

Beauty Mistakes We've All Made

I have read very nice article about the mistakes we've made, so please read it very carefully.

A few makeup mistakes I've seen friends, my mom, myself and a few people on the subway make:

1. We apply eyeshadow with our fingertips. Don't use your fingers and don't use the cheapie sponge-y thing that comes with your makeup. Instead, invest in an eyeshadow brush. It's worth the $10-$40 and could last your lifetime.

2. We over apply foundation. I've seen women apply tinted moisturizer as a base and then apply foundation over it. Tinted moisturizer acts as a (light and sheer) foundation. You don't need both.

3. We buy foundations and lipsticks at drugstores We all have a "bad shade" drawer -- a bag or drawer of makeup full of wrong shades we bought but couldn't return. Always try before you buy foundations and lipsticks at a department store such as Sephora. You'll save money in the end.

4. We leave the house with dripping wet hair. Yes, curls should air dry. Yes, that can take forever. So do it the night before, or wake up early. Or use a diffuser on your hair dryer or roll your wet hair into a bun. But please do not go out into public with a dripping wet head.
