I am anxiously awaiting the Givenchy SS09 India collection which features the ultimate color combo for the season, pink and orange. These two colors look superb on tanned skin and will make you look radiant, fresh and most of all au courant. Here are some images of the products from the collection. I'm mostly intrigued by the gold and silver liquid eye shadows called precious sari eye shadows which will look ridiculously glamorous at night offering lots of shine and shimmer. 
Black is my favorite color. It's chic, its sophisticated and it will never go out of style. Here are my picks from Forever21. Recessionistas rejoice, everything here is under $50.00.

Paris 1962 (Rizzoli) is a collection of photographs taken by, fashion photographer and filmmaker Jerry Schatzberg while on assignment from Esquire magazine. Schatzberg shot candids of the icons of the parisian fashion world. The photos are breathtaking and spectacular. This memoir will transport you to the era where dreams became reality and also a time where luxury still existed.
Daring. Desirable. Distinguished. Catherine Malandrino understands the importance of seduction. Her collections never fail to embrace the vivacious energy of Manhattan and the subtle romance of Paris. A bohemian influence is evident in many of Malandrino's designs, as she garners inspiration from her worldly adventures. She is well known for creating the American flag dress, which was exhibited at the Fashion & Textile Museum in London. Wearing a Malandrino creation can make even the shyest girl the center of attention. To add some sizzle, adorn yourself with a dress from her spring/summer collection. You'll be the fiesta. It's worth every penny.
M-A-C has done it again. Last Spring I was going mad for the Barbie Loves MAC collection and now I'm swooning over the Fafinette collection. Fafi the French artist who has made her fame conjuring up curvaceous, sexy and edgy characters called Fafinettes, has joined forces with MAC to create this fabulous new collection. Fafi's look is all about color, provocation, and fun. I especially adore this collection for two reasons. The first being that it's extremely french with a modern twist. Second being it's fresh, young and in sync with the Spring 08 artsy trends. The line ranges from violets and pinks to creams and blues. The products are indeed strong but the consistency is virtually weightless. This is one collection to get your hands on. -M.M.
