When it comes to beauty your lips are the focus point this summer. Gucci, Lacoste, Jil Sander and Diane von Furstenberg all let their models’ lips stand out on the runway.
Judging from the looks of their catwalk beauties there’s no way to better accentuate your lips than by adding some color. Here are some tips on how to create the best looking lips:
- Make sure they’re bright and fully colored.
- Choose your lipstick color out of a range of hues varying from orange to deep pink.
- Get a little bronzed; it will make your lips look even better
- Mix ‘n match the color of your lipstick with the color of your nail polish
- Keep the rest of your make-up sober & simple
Just study the images below and choose your favorite color.
Trend Report SS2011: To Brow Or Not To Brow

If we’re talking eye brows there are two major trends right now. Either you go with the bold and hairy brow, or you bleach to whole thing and make it (almost) disappear.
During fashion season these two big trends alternated each other on the runway. Alexander Wang, Blumarine, Erdem, Valentino, Marc Jacobs, Nina Ricci and Giambattista Valli went for the bleached brow. As where Prada, Ungaro, Stella McCartney, Armani, Dior and Gucci presented the bold brow.
Both are, of course, a bit extreme. But if you’re gonna have to choose between one or the other; the safest choice would be the thicker brow. Which means as much as: don’t pluck too much. Go for a natural full brow and remove only the most annoying little hairs between your eye brows; preventing the unit-brow look.
Look at these photos for some brow-inspiration.

We were able to go backstage at Roberto Cavalli and watch the hair- and make-up team transforming the models in Cavalli-beauties. We actually spotted a new way of killing time at the models: reading thick novels. Our fashion-booklist will follow soon!
Highlights 14th edition AIFW FW2011
We did it again! We survived Amsterdam International Fashion Week, with more than 27 shows, presentations and party’s. We shot front-stage, backstage, street-wear, shows and soirees and we loved every minute of it.
More than 20.000 people attended the AIFW this time – amongst them a large group of international bloggers – and we hope they enjoyed themselves as much as we did. We did see some strong collections, beautifully dressed people and a lot of fashion-enthusiasm. We won’t forget the couture-show of Jan Taminiau or the colorful parade of Bas Kosters full with energy and fantasy. And we were surprised by the collection of Marloes Blaas and the sweet romantic style of Sage & Ivy. Die-hards like Tony Cohen and Addy van den Krommenacker demonstrated us what a real professional catwalk-show looks like. And talking about show: you don’t have to tell Supertrash anything about that. This was glamor tot the max!
And let’s not forget Spijkers & Spijkers, Monique Collignon, the LAB-shows, Ready to Fish by Ilja Visser, Huen Yeu, Velour, Elsien Gringhuis. And the Green Fashion Competition. This is how diverse and inventive Dutch fashion-design is.
Hunkemöller Backstage AIFW FW2011
Actually, it was a great collection of Hunkemöller. Classic with a twist, beautiful colors and a good styling. Backstage you could see the models had big fun and felt sensual yet strong in the lingerie. The bright red wigs added a punch to the whole performance.
Elsien Gringhuis Backstage AIFW FW2011
Backstage at Elsien Gringhuis people were gasping at the shoes of designer Rosanne Bergsma, the futuristic looking wedges in white an metal matched perfect with the collection of Gringhuis. As did the straight hair and make-up with focus at the eyebrow.
Ready to Fish Backstage AIFW FW2011
The hair and colorful make up took some time to get ready backstage at Ready to Fish, the ready to wear-collection of Ilja Visser. Especially the braiding and curling, but the result was stunning and playful. The curly hair fitted perfectly with the theme of the collection.
Marloes Blaas Backstage AIFW FW2011
Marloes Blaas presented a strong and balanced collection. Backstage the details of her clothes were better visible and surprising. The fabrics with prints of roadmaps were wonderful as were the recycled militairy workwear.
