Techno Color with Bobbi Brown

The last show of the week for Bobbi Brown was Tibi, and she decided to go for it--bright color that is!  Tibi's spring collection is simplistic in structure allowing the signature bright prints and colorful palette to make this season's statement. The makeup for the show is bold, yet pretty, featuring a vibrant, electric-pink eye with hints of yellow that looks great paired with a nude lip.

For Bobbi this was really a runway look. Bright-colored pigments she used on eyes are colors that she brought with her backstage just for use for this show. It's fashion, and it's fun, but maybe not the best look for your everyday makeup. If you do choose to use pink around your eyes, she recommends you use a dark gel liner close to the lash line so you won't look tired.

What was exciting to see backstage were a few new products that will make it to the Bobbi Brown counters next season. Coral Pot Rouge was used high on cheekbones and will hit our counters in February. Coral seems to be one of the big trends everyone is talking about for spring 2010. Also, a new Treatment Lipstick (launching next spring) in a nude color was on lips to keep all the attention on those techno-color eyes.

Fashion Week has to be the best time to check out all the amazing shoes out there. How do you ever pick a favorite? Pumps, flats, slingbacks, kitten heels, platform, peep toe, loafers, knee high boots, ankle boots and of course, the stiletto.

Phillip Lim: The Best Kind of After Party

While we knew that Phillip Lim's after party, fashion party, was a hip hop party, what we didn't know, is what that really meant was a full-on dance party. Last night at The Soho Grand Hotel, we were all in the penthouse dancing between the bedrooms and the terrace overlooking the city while Phillip's show played on the flat screen TV next to the living room dance floor. This might go down in our books as our favorite after party EVER.

What We're Seeing: Bow Ties

Bowties

We think the men are looking particularly dapper this year at the tents sporting the bow tie, a staple of men's fashion for years and by the looks of it, the accessory of choice amongst gentlemen this season.
