Who, what and where!
Braving Snow Storm 'Nemo' for New York Fashion Week:
A snow storm rocked the east coast this weekend, but that didn’t deter these fearless fashion editors (from left: Julee Wilson – Beauty & Style Editor for Huffington Post, Ericka Goodman, Fashion Editor for Ebony Magazine and Marielle Bobo, Style Director for Ebony Magazine) from stepping into their stiletto and braving the elements. – Ericka N. Goodman, Fashion Editor
The Face at Alexander Wang:
The epitome of downtown cool didn't disappoint with his carefully crafted beauty look. The face remained sculpted with no color except for a grey shadow to create a "hooded" eye. CND polished models' tips with "Impossibly Plush", to craft androgynous nails. However the show stopper was Guido's "cognac" ponytail inspired by red-headed model Irina Kravchenko, who opened Wang's show last year.- Janell Hickman, Associate Beauty and Grooming Editor
David Tlale Fall 2013 Presentation:
Over the nine years since he launched his brand, South Africa native David Tlale has showcased his designs at all the premium fashion week platforms and etched his mark as a favorite on the South African and African fashion landscapes. And now, he’s bringing his talents to the States. The designer’s use of feminine prints and intricate details blew the crowd of editors away.- EG
Dell Lounge at the Empire Hotel:
I stopped by the Dell Lounge at the Empire Hotel in between New York Fashion Week shows to test-drive the brand's latest launches while snacking on French fries and mini cheeseburgers. Loving the new tablet with removable keyboard!--Marielle Bobo, Style Director
Smokey Eye at Rafael Cennamo:
Bobbi Brown’s cosmetics team created a super smoky eye partnered with a glossy red lip evoking old Hollywood glamour at Rafael Cennamo . A flawless canvas was created by opting for a BB Cream opposed to a true foundation. Want to know more about the backstage beauty look?

Duro Olowu For JCPenney Collection:
Loving the bold prints that Duro Olowu debuted at his JCPenny launch! Super wearable at an amazing price point. Living for the amazing home items too–tres chic!–MB
Backstage Beauty at Mara Hoffman:
Backstage beauty ideas bounced around to describe Mara Hoffman's look: "mystic gypsies" and “new age traveler." The makeup keyed by Maybelline was super simple with an exaggerated cat eye and neutral lips. Our favorite part? The hair "necklace" draped across the model's hair for a look that equated to one part hippie, one part sophisticated lady about town. – JH
Herve Leger Fall 2013 Show:
Our favorite models strutted their stuff at Herve Leger while rocking leather baseball caps and the line’s signature bandage dresses in bold autumn colors. This season’s updates include fitted dresses with pants worn underneath. Expect to see this as a continued trend for next fall. – EG
