The ever-important question LustreLife editors and mavens are consistently asked: what’s in this season?  And the all-important answer for F/W ‘15: imagination, nonconformity, mixed with a little attitude and a little sass.  Picture Alice and Wonderland. The fashion flock took a bold and eclectic approach to their offerings this season with statement making and conversation starting accessories.  From pop culture […]

Outerwear has reached new heights this season. Designers pulled out all the stops to give us a newfound love for jackets, coats and vests. Whether you opt for shearling or cocoon, or graphic or plaid, we say make this piece the focal point of your entire look. There are so many standout designs out there that you are going to […]

You don’t have to come up with a high-concept costume to be festive on All Hallow’s Eve. In fact, putting together a last-minute look with a couple of cool beauty products can be just as creative as any pop art zombie or pretty kitty. Here are a few ideas to get you started.   Lux Lids Adorning your eyelids with […]

Wearability and practicality often don’t appear in the same sentence as Paris Fashion Week.  We expect big, boisterous declarations of artful, dramatic fashion, particularly from a city that showcases Haute Couture shows like it’s normal daily wear. But surprisingly some (not every one, it’s still Paris after all!) shows asserted that clothing should be for the everyday girl.  That’s not […]

Well the weather outside isn’t getting terribly frightful just yet, but every day that we are nearing freezing temps makes us downright worried.  Not necessarily about surviving the cold again, we do that every year.

But perhaps the most notable change for all of us die hard fashionistas is the all important wardrobe turnover – out with the old (read: anything summery) and in with the new (hello autumn!) What […]

Fashion Week favorites Kendall Jenner, Karlie Kloss and Gigi Hadid rocked some sweet, 70s-inspired curls on the DVF runway, all to complement the designer’s retro-glam wrap dresses and flirty, floor-length gowns. Big, bouncy waves like these are fairly easy to achieve—the trick is to use a bodybuilding shampoo and conditioner before styling, and to finish off with a few spritzes […]

It must be fall, because we are gearing up for all things pumpkin and we aren’t talking spiced lattes and Halloween treats. All those delectable tones of orange have our heads spinning.  From deep rich shades like rust and amber to bold pops of color like mango and papaya to perennial classics like tangerine and carrot, the diversity of orange […]

We’ll fully admit that we didn’t think these two words would wind up in our fashion trend lexicon, but the Autumn/Winter ’15 shows demonstrated that sweater vests are not only a must-have this fall, but one of the best styling tricks to nail multiple trends in one look. This sleeveless knit will become your new staple when you need to […]

Just because it is the second city on the fashion tour and the shortest of all the fashion weeks doesn’t mean London doesn’t pack quite a punch of show stopping moments during Fashion Month.  All that eccentricity, audacity and ingenuity grants London with a certain swagger.  A swagger that proves London is not only an unstoppable force in the fashion […]
