GOLDEN GLOBES BEAUTY- How to get Zoey Dechanel’s 60’s inspired makeup

Red Carpet Beauty Review: Dolly Girl pretty makeup It's hard not to love the one-of-a-kind Prada embellished gown with emerald bodice. After all, it totally compliments the one-of-a-kind style of its wearer. Zoey Dechanel beats to her own quirky fashion drum, and that's what we love about her, right down to her kooky "tuxedo" nails. No natural makeup needed, but a quirky, pretty doll look mastered by Rimmel of London makeup artist Jorgee.

Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci Golden Globes Fashion Red Carpet Review: As the celebrities make their way through red carpet arrivals, it's clear the minimalist looks are the most stunning. It's easy to make a frothy dress look glam. Pile on the fabric, cinch in the waist, add some glimmer and the princess is good to go. But when it comes to sophisticated chic, a well-cut dress with strong lines is stunning beyond compare without wearing the wearer. Rooney Mara in perfect black Nina Ricci that she described to E! as being "comfortable and simple" is one of the most spectacular looks on the red carpet that we've seen in a while. Well, except for the last time Rooney was on the

Pippa Middleton with her Aruna Seth Romana Bag

I (Don't) Want What She's Having: Legs that look stumpy from poor fashion choices Pippa Middleton, the every-girl style icon is looking decidedly edgy for herself. While the particular wash of her fuchsia jeans is not our favorite with its strange dye markings down the side, we appreciate her effort to spunk up a classic dark blazer with a burst of color paired with her go-to Aruna Seth Romina bag. But, here's where Pippa went wrong... Her calf-high black boots completely cut her body off into thirds! It's a color blocking disaster gone short and dumpy, while over-emphasizing muscular legs. The Aldo Elks bootie is short enough to create a longer leg and its platform will make Pippa's legs look even

It's no secret that we're big fans of the direction Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli have taken Valentino since taking the helm of the storied house a few years ago and their latest outing for Fall 2012 men's wear was another remarkable achievement of masterful tailoring updated with a subtle sense of subversion. While the base of the collection was a dashing yet familiar classic suit, collared shirt and tie, jackets and outerwear were updated in sculpted cocoon shapes and color-blocking and featured dropped shoulders, contrasting fabrications and collar tabs that allowed for coats to be worn elegantly over the shoulders. This lent the collection a thoroughly modern appeal that was original, while a moody color palette kept it

Since it can be challenging to not only remember what we’ve seen, and getting a second chance to glance at all of the astonishing details seems sadly unlikely, we wanted to take a moment and look back at everything one could easily miss. Here’s a look at our favorite elements from all of the Spring 2012 shows starting with Rochas’ angular techno take on 50′s starlet glamor as seen above. >> MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Rochas (above) At Rochas, calculated retro sensibilities go a long way and Spring's angular sunglasses made a chic case for easy vintage flair, making them the coolest, must-have frames of the season. >>MORE: Notes on Spring 2012 Prada Vintage ladylike bags got revved up with ingenious graphic appliqué

What looks pretty on the model can be rather tricky on an everyday woman

Faux fur vests are probably one of the hottest fashion trends of the moment. The thing is that they are also rather tricky to wear. If you are not careful, you could look like a wild hairy beast that took over the mall. Not to mention that fur vests are not the most practical way to stay warm on anything other than a mild day. Let's get the faux fur vest trend right. Here we have a lovely, chic model wearing the Quotation: Sanctuary Original Natalie Faux Fur Vest from Bloomingdales, picture left above. To the right, we have a real woman buried in one too many trends of the moment, including a faux fur vest. Our real lady in the photo

Just as the Spring 2012 collections are set to hit stores next month comes a quick review of our favorite outings from the season to keep you looking fresh and updated on all of the best of the season. From Balenciaga's sic-fi futurism to Rochas' retro regality, we've got you covered on all the must-have collections full of covetable cool. >>MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Balenciaga After 10 years of riveting, out-of-this-world collections season in & season out, Nicolas Ghesquiere was back with another astounding sci-fi take on 60′s futurism mashed with the rigor and depth of Cristobal Balenciaga’s couture minded trapeze shapes. Paired with his sense of modernity, his continual references to the house’s heritage have made his latest collections enviable winners. Opening with a

Over the past few years London based designer Mary Katrantzou has made quite a name for herself with collections that boast signature out-of-this-world collaged prints and could be considered a harbinger of the digital print craze that has had designers of all types trying to out-do each other with the never-before-seen. Starting Jan. 23rd fans of Katrantzou's namesake collection and her witty use of vivid prints will now be able to get their hands on something a bit more practical than a peplum floral printed dress from Katrantzou's collection of covetable totes for Longchamp. Featuring festive Chinese interiors and an "East meets West" theme, they are certain to be quite the conversation starter for seasons to come and are destined to

By the looks of the collections we've seen so far from some of our favorite go-to labels, Pre-Fall seems to be about a continuation of key-trends and trademarks with a fresh, indulgent spin.

I'll Have What She's Having: A modern take on feminine style Michelle Williams recently made a sophisticated ladylike statement on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in an elegant Jason Wu black & ivory ensemble that boasted a prim peplum and decadent embroidery and made a case for the demure, figure flattering power of one of the season's top trends: the peplum. Topped off with a girlish pixie cut, Williams makes a striking argument on the updated retro-minded appeal of a proper day dress.

I can see clearly now, the baby's here... First time moms always lament over the right crib to buy... I know I drove myself crazy. Cribs, for the most part, are not particularly decor friendly when you live in a modern home. Then there are the cribs that look like prisons with their safety rails blocking view of the precious one. US magazine reports that Beyonce purchased a lucite Nurseyworks Vetro crib back in November for baby Blue Ivy. The crib has a hefty price tag, but if you can afford it, it offers a full-on view of baby so concerned parents can have an uninterrupted view of their little one. It's gorgeous and super sleek too. Available at Amazon.com

Growing up addicted to fashion and the haute bourgeois campiness of the endless sales pitches of HSN & QVC t.v hosts, Steven Meisel's recent editorial for Vogue Italia makes for a remarkably gorgeous spoof of the at home shopping networks featuring major looks from all of the best collections of the season. And while those networks have come along way since yesteryear, there's no denying how refreshingly cool and inventive this latest outing from Meisel is. Enjoy the short video below as an end of the day pick-me-up.-Naveed Hussain
