>Vanity Fairest, Angels Style

>They kissed. It’s weird. Lighting up online and blowing hot air out of your blog; we think it’s time to log off style. If you’re from New York City and love rock n’ roll and leather and don’t really care who’s looking or what they’re saying, and yeah, your daddy, too, then you know what we think about red carpet style and what it really takes to steal the scene.

BOND GIRL STYLE
by Tamsen Fadal

Bond Girl Style is the sexy, sleek, and smart style every woman should know. Feeling your best and looking your best when you date is the ultimate style must. The Bond Girl always gets her James Bond, too, so you’ll want to learn her secrets. Here’s how to be a Bond Girl on your next date, or at least look one…

Eyes

Bond Girl eyes will make you look alert and wide-awake, even if you’ve spent all day at the office and the last place you want to be is out to dinner with some guy you met at a bar. First, use concealer to cover under-eye circles. Then use a little eyeshadow in a natural shade and smooth it all over the crease of your eyelid. Finally, pick up some false lashes (ones that look natural) at your local drugstore and add a few to the outer corner of your eyes. Viola! Wide awake.

Hair

Guys love long, sleek hair, but don’t try to pull off that look unless it suits you. Feel free to experiment with natural-looking rinses and highlights, and definitely make regular trips to the salon if you have any gray hairs peeking through. Also be sure to get regular trims to get rid of any split ends and keep your ‘do looking fresh. A sexy head of hair will make him go gaga on your first date too, always remember the details!

Skin

Great skin is the ultimate foundation for any great Bond Girl look. Be sure to use high-quality makeup to reduce your risk of breakouts, and don’t cake it on– wearing too much makeup actually makes you look older. If you have serious skin issues, visit your dermatologist and explore treatment options. Remember to do this before a big date night so your skin won’t be sensitive on your evening out.

Lips
To give your mouth that kissable look, put a light gloss over your favorite neutral lip color. You can also explore drugstore lip plumpers, which make your lips look fuller by temporarily swelling the tissue around your mouth.
Teeth
Make regular visits to your dentist a priority. If you can’t afford expensive aesthetic treatments, check out at-home teeth whitening kits, which will cost much less and give you near-professional results. Nothing like flashing those pearly-whites to bring on a stampede of eligible bachelors. . .or just THE one!



>Mackage

>We like how this company sounds. We like to linger over the “age” part and feel extremely April in Paris style. Mah-kaggggeeeeeeee très chic style. We turn to the company’s founders, Eran Elfassy and Elisa Dahan, for the profound meaning.

Mackage me style. . .

Eran Elfassy and Elisa Dahan
Turns out the mellifluous word has no meaning. . .but simultaneously means everything in the world. Eran’s niece mispronounces “maquillage,” the French word for makeup. She calls it simply, “Mackage.” Disappointed? Mais non style – we like them even better. When the doodles and dreams of two twelve year olds manifest into one of the most prestigious outerwear brands in the country, and the parent company APP Group, founded by Eran’s older brother Michel (father of famous niece) and Ilan is regarded as a veritable leader in the outwear market, there are no appropriate words. It’s the stuff of dreams. Mackage indeed. And in 2010, the dream got just a little bigger. . .

Their first ready-to-wear line – an immediate success and dubbed “edgy” and the ultimate accolade – “cool kid” – by the grand dame of fashion editorial – WWD Style.  This season JBCStyle’s Lisa R. went to check out the Fall 2011 line, and they killed it again. Lisa shared, “I loved the leather. . . the deep hues. The music was cutting edge – from the UK electronic group Ladytron. The opening number was Ghosts. The clothes, the music – it all went together seamlessly. You kinda wanted everything.”
See for yourself style.

Urban glam Mackage style.

NYSD’s David Patrick Columbia asks, “Who is Chris Del Gatto anyway” and (unthinkable style) he only has nice things to say. The New York Post calls him “a gem of a guy” (what happened to their snarkster style?) and after profiles in WSJ, The New York Times, Whitewall, Interview, and countless other magazines (yeah, most of them were cover style) AND the recent, unprecedented collaboration with the CFDA during NYFW, there’s not much we can say about the CEO and Founder of Circa Jewelry. Did we mention he’s under 40, cites Steve McQueen as his style icon, and likes horses, jewelry, and fashion? We don’t believe he’s real, Casper the friendly ghost style. 
In the rare instance InsiderStyle finds itself without words (we’re kinda under shock and awe, Desert Storm style) we turn to Chris Del Gatto today and ask him, “How do you define style?”

ON STYLE
by Chris Del Gatto
The people who always leave the greatest impression on me are the ones with an almost natural, or innate elegance. This is not only in the clothing category, but simply in how they live. It almost doesn’t matter who or what they’re wearing; these people rarely follow trends, they just live stylishly. The way they look at life or treat people is done with a thoughtfulness that to me is the epitome of elegance. Whether being asked for advice when you’re not in the mood, or putting an outfit together; there’s a sensibility that’s always there that equates to being elegant. You can be the most beautifully dressed person in the world and not look right when certain things are missing on the inside……
The End

Talk about dope definition style. . .

>Wednesday After Work Cocktails at Lavo

Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

No minimums. No lines. No who you knows. You can place a call and make a simple table reservation, old school style. Elegant, easy, and en route from the Fashion District to the Upper East Side (we’re down with reverse commute style, too). 
Saturday brunch wildness is reserved for Saturday. The girls in stilts are resting up for the weekend. Ditto on the chicks who came out in the bathtubs and the. . . bird cages.

It’s Wednesday perfection style; quiet, dark, roomy. . .for when your tastes grow up, Canada Dry style. Tip toe in tonight as Richard Thomas takes a little break from the Avenue and kicks back with some dope beats and smooth drinks. Set Adrift on Memory Bliss Style. Tell him we invited you, because we just did style.

Paris’ party is over. Your turn style.

>Paris Hilton’s Lavo Rising Birthday Style

>

If a life and death situation kept you from attending, give us two minutes and it will feel like you did. . .

Paris Hilton arrived at Lavo for her 30th birthday blowout, arms linked with new flame (and rumored potential hubby in the making according to CNN) Cy Waits.

Posed for photogs in a black, sequined Mark Bouwer dress. . .

Here’s where it gets weird (depends on your definition style) – the cake got hijacked and the thief posted his, er, theft on Facebook here.

Prior to that, TMZ erroneously reported that Paris received a yellow Lexus from her boyfriend. . .
Silly TMZ, it was just a funny joke. Who would want yellow? Trickster style. He actually got her a white one, and Paris was so happy she could not stop making out with Cy. . . right up until she went live with Dave Letterman.

Paris’ Lavo was sizzlin’ style.

First Lady Style

The essence of luxury, with an eye for restraint. The opulence of Jaipur juxtaposed with the modern silhouette and masterful art of draping acquired at Halston. But quintessentially Naeem Khan.

If Lincoln Center was Mount Olympus this week, Naeem’s Fall 2011 collection was its ambrosia. The final toast was his, and his dresses spilled from the stage into the night sky. A thousand stars glittered and Ranjana was the eternal, sparkling front-row Sita.

Embodiment of style; ancient, modern, and ever-present. Urban maharani style.

The show-stopping gowns and the show. . .

>New York Post Scary Shih Tzu Style

>

Harold Moscowitz and Luigi Maestro are NOT pleased with The New York Post today. This article suggests, “New York’s most vicious dogs are, in this order, the pit bull, the Rottweiler, the Shih Tzu, Chihuahua and standard poodle.”  First of all, Chihuahuas, Harold believes, are 100 percent more violent than he is. Aren’t they those nasty little guys that eat all the tacos? Shih Tzus, on the other hand, stem from dog royalty; the oldest variety of the Tibetan holy dogs and the treasured gems of the Chinese Imperial Palace. Needless to say, JBCStyle resident Shih Tzus Harold Moscowitz and Luigi Maestro are furious. They are convinced Lorena Mongelli and Kevin Fasick (authors of troubling piece) must have cats. There is just no other explanation.

Not very stylish style. . .

An outrage

Luigi is little and cries while Nikki assuages his aching heart (Note our stylish new logo and new, red accent walls!)
It all started this morning at the newstand. . . right after JBCStyle Creative Director Anisha received a buzz of text messages. Many people thought it was her dog on the cover (due to a little, er, misunderstanding last week – more on that later). Harold and Luigi wanted to come investigate this incredible breach of style for themselves. . . 


Largely, they are not happy. But they will let it go. There may have been an incident just last week involving one of the little guys above, a nose, some blood, an emergency room, and stitches. There’s some worry that The Post really might be Big Brother.

Harold and Luigi conclude that the cover stems from jealousy (if Lorena and Kevin don’t have cats, then the only explanation is that they wish they were Shih Tzus). An outlandish breach of DoggieStyle. 
Sorry, Billy. – H.M.

Someone who has style demonstrates confidence. One of the things I love best about style is that it is unique and is diverse. Style does not need to follow rules. In my opinion, someone with true style is a trailblazer others can’t help but follow.
