Inspiration.

The swooping stacked cut lines of artist Noriko Ambe. The organic splendor of artist Tara Donovan. Citing these two biomorphic artists as his springboard for the season, J. Mendel designer Gilles Mendel cultivates a collection seeded in elegant technicality and fluid emotion. "It's the idea of using structured fabrics and adding an element of softness by using curved seams and intricate cut work," says Mendel. "Each piece is an emotion." Hair. To mirror this dance between tailored precision and soft, sloping curves, and to evoke a feeling of ethereal airiness, stylist Odile Gilbert fashions a voluminous hairstyle that revels in the organic, chaotic nature of mussed curls. "It's all about volume -- tons of volume -- and a round, fluid shape. This look is very feminine." says Gilbert, adding "It's not feminine-frilly; rather it's femininity with a modern twist." Style Steps. First, take one to two-inch sections, and mist on new Moroccanoil® Luminous Hair Spray (previewed at Fashion Week and available in December, 2009) to increase holding power, enhance the coil of each curl and provide protection against heat-styling. Apply Moroccanoil® Intense Curl Cream and curl each section from roots to ends using a 1/2" curling iron. Gently release the barrel and allow each curl to fall like a spiral. After curls cool, run Moroccanoil® Intense Curl Cream through the curls as you gently separate them with your fingers. (Tip: When used as a finishing product, Moroccanoil® Intense Curl Cream not only adds a sensual definition without crispiness, it also gives silky shine and soft hold while eliminating unwanted frizz Flip head upside-down, fluff the curls, and spray with Moroccanoil® Luminous Hair Spray for lasting, touchable hold. Finally, arrange curls to ensure the perfect amount of airy texture, and finish with another mist of Moroccanoil® Luminous Hair Spray to seal in the style while increasing hair's shine. The Products.

It wasn’t just the casual cool chignons spotted on the runway, it was the faces too. The edgy look is everywhere this season and it was no exception at Venexiana – eyes full of drama and a pop of color on the lips filled the runway. But don’t worry – CUPCAKE MAG has got it covered so you can get the look, straight from the runway.

THE COLOR STORY:

To compliment a sophisticated and bold collection, the makeup look features DARK DRAMATIC eyes, a smokey/cat eye combination, completed with a semi-matte complexion and peachy pink lips and cheeks.

HOW TO GET THE LOOK:

• Complexion: Try SEPHORA MATIFYING COMPACT FOUNDATION to create a flawless canvas. Add a pop of color with a cream blush or powder such as SEPHORA BLUSH ME! MONO in Rose Rebelle 1.

• Eyes: For a smokey look, apply SEPHORA MONO EYESHADOW in Must Have 06 all over lid. Line both upper and lower lash lines for a cat eye effect. Finish by applying false lashes like SEPHORA FLIRT IT LASH DUO to add extra drama.

• Lips: To get the ultimate peachy, coral pout, start with a lip liner, then fill in with SEPHORA LIP ATTITUDE CHIC in Elegant Pink 05, a creamy pink lipstick. Top it off with SEPHORA PURE LIPGLOSS in Peachy Pink.

Bon Appetit: tinytongs for TINY HANDS are the ULTIMATE IDEAL MEALTIME SOLUTION

tinytongs: The Easy Way for Kids to Eat!

Easy to Use, Child Size Tongs Make Mealtime Less Stressful, Less Messy

Easy doesn't cover it. When we received our tinytongs in the mail we were eager to try them out. Our little ones have a tendency to forget the fork and use their hands but with tinytongs it's like the simplicity of using your fingers but without the mess; it fills in the gap between finger eating & using utensils. With tinytongs you can guarantee they are getting all the food in their mouth which means less for you to clean up off the floor! Not only are they great to use for little hands but they are aesthetically pleasing and ergonomic shape for a child.

We suggest getting the 4 pack for $24.99 because otherwise you will be washing them all day long. And it gets even better - tinytongs are non toxic, dishwasher safe, lead free, BPA free, and phthalate free for all the "eco-chic" mommas. They are also free of sharp edges (like some forks can be) and have a soft tactile feel. Your little tot won't want to put them down.

BACKGROUND: tinytongs™ was founded in 2008 by Carys Bice. With three children under the age of five, Carys spent countless hours at the dining room table watching her children drop more food onto the floor than into their mouths. She also watched them become increasingly frustrated trying to use standard utensils when the use of their fingers, unfortunately, would be easier. Looking for a solution in her kitchen, Carys thought tongs would be an ideal solution to make mealtime more successful, less messy and more enjoyable for everyone. After launching a search to find the right utensil suitable for tiny hands and finding a void in the marketplace for any such product, she and her husband Justin developed tinytongs. The innovative, safe eating utensil is designed to grip food and keep it in place and provides for an easier way for children to get small bites of food into their mouths.

tinytongs ESSENTIALS

Age Range: 12+ months - 5+years
Retail: $7.99 and worth every penny!

Backstage Beauty at Carolina Herrera Spring 2010 Collection

Moroccanoil® Sponsors Orlando Pita during Mercedes - Benz Fashion Week New York backstage at the Carolina Herrera Spring 2010 Collection

During Fashion Week it is all about the glitz and the glam of the clothes and we have a tendency to forget about the beauty behind the scenes. But, this year, we just couldn't forget the backstage beauties and the product at Carolina Herrerea.

The Inspiration.

The Carolina Herrera Spring 2010 collection was inspired by intricate forms woven in Japanese baskets. The texture of the fabrics and prints was taken from patterns found in the details of these baskets. Colors including amber, rose and caramel were drawn from the waning light cast at the end of a summer’s day, with the luminous quality of this light reflected in the fabrics and embroidery used for evening.

The Hair.

Orlando Pita, using Moroccanoil®, created beautiful, fine-textured low twisted chignons with touches of delicate long strings of intricate seed-beads swept throughout strands of the hair. The looks, created with Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream, highlighted smooth elegance with a natural ease, texture and flow.

“We used argan-oil infused Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream to prime the hair and give it a natural-looking, frizz-free texture with a soft hold,” noted Pita. “The beads were designed to blend subtly through the hair; appearing almost as if they’re embedded in the strands themselves.”

Pita plays with texture and keeps the look relaxed and piece-y, without stiffness or tight structure (Tip: Rather than using a brush to blow-dry strands, Pita mussed hair with his fingers as he blow-dried to enhance the tresses’ natural separation and create further definition.)

Style Steps.

First prep the hair for blow-drying using argan-oil infused Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream to give silky shine and soft hold while eliminating unwanted frizz.

While blow-drying each section, lightly mist new argan-oil infused Moroccanoil® Luminous Hair Spray (available in December, 2009) over hair to lend increased holding power. (Tip: Another coat of Moroccanoil® Luminous Hair Spray “lends even more texture and helps provide grip when pinning the chignon into place,” said Pita.) The argan-oil infused hair spray, previewed at Fashion Week, will be available in December, 2009. It holds a style while maintaining hair’s healthy condition.

Sectioning off the very front of the hair from ear to ear, place the beaded headband on the part and pull the front section back over the band, interweaving its beaded strands with the natural hair.

Gently twist the hair and beads back into a knot, and twist under. Finish with a light misting of Moroccanoil® Luminous Hair Spray for healthy-looking and lasting hold.


The Products.

Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream is an argan-oil infused leave in styling cream formulated to eliminate frizz, condition and hydrate, while adding definition and brilliant shine to all hair types. It provides soft hold and creates an ideal texture for styling. (MSRP: $30.00 / 10.2 fl oz)

WHY WE LOVE ALL THINGS TORI

Tori Spelling isn’t just a versatile actress with a career span over film, television and theater but most recently has been seen on her hit reality TV show that follows her life, “Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood”. Just a few months ago, the season premiere was the most watch season debut and highest rated Oxygen original series ever, as it pulled in over half a million viewers. As many of you may know Spelling is best known for her roll as Donna Martin on “Beverly Hills 90210” – Spelling is now reprising her role as Donna in the CW spinoff series 90201 which started last September. In April 2009, Spelling published her second memoir Mommywood, a follow up to her New York Times bestseller sTori Telling. But Tori Spelling isn’t just an actress, writer and mom – she is also an accomplished jewelry designer and clothing designer. Her latest designs from “The Tori Spelling Collection” can be viewed exclusively on HSN and HSN.com. Little Maven, her new children’s line, inspired by her own little ones, just debuted this fall and is already selling out.

GET TO KNOW TORI SPELLING

After many thanks for the amazing compliments, and congratulating me on my newest belly, CUPCAKE MAG'S one on one with Tori Spelling reminded us that celebrities are just regular human beings too! From being a mommy that manages it all to her new clothing line Little Maven - Tori answered all our questions with great pleasure.

Cupcake Mag: As a mother of 2 girls under the age of 6 and a third little one on the way, I was able to really relate to "Mommywood". You have a very busy life. How do you balance all of your responsibilities, both professional and personal?

Tori Spelling: It’s easy to juggle it all cause I know that my family comes first. With them as my focus and my rock I'm able to multi task. Everything I do is for my children and their future. But every endeavor I take on is time consuming yet a labor of passion. It’s all organic to me or my family.

CM: What brought you to designing your own children's line, Little Maven? What was important to you when designing?

T: Little Maven was 100% inspired by Liam and Stella. I love being a mom and I love fashion so the two together was an organic fit. As a style conscious mom I wanted to create clothes for my babes that were fun and stylish yet comfortable. Then it was important to me to make the line affordable for my mommy friends everywhere.

CM: What is behind the line's name?

T: I knew I always wanted to design and to be a part of the fashion world. I thought of the name Maven years ago and thought it encompassed the essence of a brand I wanted to create. Maven is all knowing about a certain subject. A STYLE maven is all knowing about the fashionista's lifestyle they want to encompass. So, a LITTLE MAVEN is a mini fashionista!

CM: What one piece of advice would you give to someone wanting to start a fashion line?

T: As with any business you venture into, it’s all about passion. I say fashion is my passion! You have to believe in your point of view a 100% yet you have to be able to know your customer! It’s a fun world and creating pieces you'd personally wear or in this case that I'd personally dress my own children in is really what it’s about. Always dream big and never compromise!

CM: Little Maven is by far budget friendly and affordable for many moms - was that a goal of yours?

T: I grew up in a very luxe lifestyle yet I knew from an early age that fashion doesn't have to cost a fortune to look good! I love people and especially moms and I love that thru my reality show and my books I now have mom fans/friends everywhere that can relate to me. So, it was VERY important to me to develop a line that was stylish without compromising comfortability or quality and that was also affordable to moms everywhere.

CM: Liam has such a cute rocker style and Stella is definitely a true fashionista already - If they aren't wearing Little Maven, what are some of your fave kid’s labels?

T: First of all I love that you GET my kids style! Made me smile. I also am a fan of Splendid, Ella Moss, Kingsley, Lucky, Gap, Paul Frank, C & C, Cynthia Vincent, and Target!

CM: You are already a superhero mom - with two NY times bestselling memoirs (we hope for another soon!), reprising your role as Donna Martin, an accomplished jewelry designer, reality show with millions of viewers, and now a kid's clothing line, what could possibly be up next for you?

T: I recently completed my 1st children's book. It'll be released Fall 2010. Very excited for that! That's one of my favorite times is story time with the kids! I also hope to create a women's fashion line soon as well!

CM: And lastly, what are your fashion obsessions of the moment?

T: As a style conscious mommy of 2 it’s all about affordable, quick, yet chic fashion! I love pops of color to complete an outfit. I'm into boots, belts, scarves, headbands, and metallic or jeweled toned flats.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT LITTLE MAVEN:

In the Fall, Tori’s new children clothing line, Little Maven, hit stores this September, but she gave us a sneak peak at some items in the collection so stay tuned for Cupcake Mag's feature and photo shoot on trendy childrens clothing lines that we just can't get enough of!

Monkey-Toes’: The Perfect Fit for your TOT

We just can't get ENOUGH of the fashion forward Monkey-Toes

It is time to pack up the cute sandals now that the winter chill is upon all the little toes. Luckily, Monkey Toes’ has the perfect transition for your tot instead of just another pair of plain old sneaker.

The company’s canvas too cute sneakers and sassy Mary Janes (both $31-$35) have rubber soles and every pair is individually hand painted with cuteness. You have it all with adorable spring laces that kids can put on by themselves with no constant tying, or for us moms, constant bending over.

Among the fun designs that teach your little babes about bugs and insects are leap frogs, piggies, spiders, and bumble bees. When we received our sample pair of Flutterflies Sneaks, they were packaged with ribbon and ready for gift-giving. We couldn’t just be spoiled with one pair and immediately placed a personal order.

About the Designer

MOMpreneur, Jenny Ford is behind the genius idea of Monkey-Toes’ and is responsible for keeping our little ones toes uber stylish. Her dream of being a stay-at-home mom and business owner has come true as we see; Jenny has quite the eye for style. So just who inspired the line? You can thank her daughter’s long toes for the name “Monkey-Toes.”

MBFWNY --- Whitney Port mixes prints, gives us office-chic & gets us ready for SPRING 2010

Text, Dwayne Knight

The darling fashionista from MTV’s “The City” showed us just how talented and focused she is on her true passion as she made her Mercedes Benz Fashion Week debut in New York on September 10th showing the “Whitney Eve” Spring/Summer 2010 collection.

The Promenade was jammed packed with excited attendees. Among those in the front row were R & B songstress Amerie, singer/song writer Tina Parol, and fellow “The City” cast mates Olivia Palermo and Erin Kaplan. Kelly Cutrone of both “The City” and power house of People’s Revolution was working behind the scenes supporting Port by making sure the show was orchestrated with perfection in true Cutrone form.

From the beginning, we could tell this was going to be a collection of youthful beauty. Port brought us an array of fabrics and textures. The color pallet ranged from metallic’s (the hot trend of the season) to neutrals to vibrant pinks, blues, greens, and yellows. Our mouths dropped as we watched the delectable dresses, suits, shorts, jumpsuits, vests, and blouses. One of our favorite items was the strapless rainbow dress with bow belt, which can be described as Park Avenue meets sunny California and the re-creating of the pant/short suit – making it very office chic. Getting us right in the mood for spring was the sequence ruffle dress which defined flirty and light as it was presented beautifully in a purple, orange, and slate blue pattern. The lace inset of the v-neck was the perfect accent to compliment the look.

The Whitney Eve collection brightened our day and has us seriously looking forward to the spring season. It may have been raining outside the tents at Bryant Park, but it was a blissful warm day inside with Whitney Port.
