Christian Dior Paris, Jessica Alba in Ariel Gordon & Florals For Spring: Groundbreaking!

Dior Jessica Alba Ariel Gordon Necklace Christian Dior Paris, Jessica Alba in Ariel Gordon & Florals For Spring: Groundbreaking!

Monday’s Christian Dior Haute Couture show in Paris was a stunner. Set in a tent in the Jardin des Tuileries, Raf Simons’ second haute couture collection for the design house sort of seemed like it took place in Never Never Land. Models so waiflike they almost seemed like they were going to fly away strutted through the tent in pixie-cut Jean Seberg wigs. With their flawless, effervescent skin and shiny red lips, they looked like Tinkerbell and her friends coming to rescue us with beautiful clothes. Kind of like fairies on haute couture crack.

The collection included ballet-length gowns, beautifully tailored suits, and lots and lots of layering and draping. Models walked down runways lined with perfectly manicured trees and landscapes designed by Belgian landscape architect Martin Wirtz. The tangerine oranges, rose pinks, lilac purples and bright greens were a good compliment to the backdrop, as were the tiny little silk flowers and petals that decorated many of the pieces in the collection. They were a great take on a typical trend for Spring, but I couldn’t help but think to myself, “Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking.Miranda Priestly, you own my soul.

But enough about the couture gowns, let’s talk about what the real people were wearing—the celebrities. Celebrities like Jessica Alba. One of our best dressed at the Golden Globes winners, Alba looked like she was straight out of a 1920’s Paris photograph. With her hair pulled back in an elegant bun at the nape of her neck, a flawless brown smoky eye, and red lips, she could easily pass for a doll. She sported a navy blue velvet coat worn with a black dress underneath, black tights, black heels, and a black clutch (navy blue and black—we told you it was good). Around her neck, Jessica wore an Ariel Gordon Jewelry Signet Dog Tag Necklace. And for just $590, you can have your own beautiful 14k gold Ariel Gordon necklace. Now if only we could just have Jessica Alba’s closet… Oh, and all the florals from Dior.

MAC & Carine Roitfeld | “Violating Codes of Bourgeois Elegance”

MAC Carine Roitfeld MAC & Carine Roitfeld | Violating Codes of Bourgeois Elegance

Waiter, we’ll have a little virtue with a side of feminine corruption, thank you very much! We are beyond excited about the collab between M•A•C Cosmetics and Carine Roitfeld. Yesterday, Roitfeld and John Demsey, Group President, The Estée Lauder Companies hosted an exclusive ball to celebrate the launch of Roitfeld’s first-ever color collection at the historic Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild, during Paris fashion week. Roitfeld, stylist, image-maker and muse, has revolutionized the world of fashion with what she calls “violating the codes of bourgeois elegance.”  Blurring the line between sensuality and sophistication, with a bit of rock’n’roll and a sense of humor, her irreverence and razor-sharp instinct has penetrated fashion with street style laced with discreet erotic Parisian femininity. Roitfeld has taken the classic smoky eye and transformed it into a true work of art. For the M•A•C and Roitfeld partnership, she edits her signature look into a collection of chic colors and tools for recreating her couture looks. The FLUIDLINE Blacktrack ($15) can be used to create cat eyes that will have your date purring in the palm of your hands and his eyes will follow your CARINE ROITFELD NAIL LACQUER Undercover Nude ($17.50) fingertips all the way home. You can only dream of being a fly on the wall at this party! Beauty and fashion die-hards rocked the night away to live music performed by “Brit blue-eyed soul” singer, Paloma Faith, (the newly minted pop star’s “Picking Up The Pieces” is a must-download) and guests were invited to experience Roitfeld’s avant-garde version of the smoky eye look with the “Good Luck Star” beauty spot. The VIP guest list is a biggie, but we were lucky enough to rub elbows with some of the notable attendees including Karl Lagerfeld, Kanye West, Alexander Wang, Jenna and Prisca Courtin Clarins and Karlie Kloss.
