Even Lady Gaga is following this trend!

Which is you favorite? Yay or Nay??

 

A big thank you to Giorgio Armani for the wonderful styling and images.

Big lashes for your big day!

Don’t you just love the va-va-voom lashes!? Recently, when we partnered on a wedding with Jet Kaiser Films and we noticed that Danielle Kaiser had gorgeous lashes! www.jetkaiser.com Well, guess what her secret was? It was the Andrea Perma Lashes. www.sallybeauty.com These are salon quality lashes that are very simple to apply, plus they stay on for up to six weeks. We loved discovering the starter kit that comes with everything you need to have for sassy and sultry lashes. These are perfect for daytime or night wear; a great addition to any special event! The lashes  come in different colors and lengths too. Best of all, you may purchase them from Walgreen’s, Sally’s Beauty Supply or Amazon. Starter kits were only $11! Ladies, these could be a lot of fun!!!!! Let us know what you think!

Backstage at the Jason Wu fashion show, makeup professionals are layering hand painted metallic gold leaf on the back of each model’s head, just above a low, twisted bun. If you aren’t so keen on painting gold flakes in your hair, try accessorizing yourself with touches of gold that are easier to add to your morning routine. Adding a cute pair of golden earrings or a headband that has a golden broach on it will dazzle everyone. If you consider yourself a crafty person, you can easily make your own perfect headband. Mix up gold bangles and find Grandma’s gold brooch to add to your denim lapel. You can also look just as glamorous as any model on the runway with NYX’s Loose Pearl Eye Shadow in gold yellow, which will add a pop to your normal eye makeup. Go for the Gold this fall! You will dazzle everyone!

A big thank you to Jason Wu and NYX for their glamorous designs and images.

(Also, notice that all of the models are wearing red lipstick – the hot new trend that we told you about just a few posts ago!)

Thanks so much to Gucci for these remarkable designs and images.

PS: Kim just loves Alexander Wang!

Thanks to Alexander Wang for these gorgeous fashions and images.

Check out some of these short and sweet mini wedding dresses that we have picked out as our favorites. This first dress has a plunging V-neckline and beautiful crystal beading, rhinestones, sequins and pearls at the natural waist. The layering from the waist down is a bubble-shaped dress was uniquely designed by Alfred Angelo. So cute!

Our next pick is an extraordinary two-piece mini dress that is not only perfect for walking down the aisle, but also for getting your groove on the dance floor all night long. With an ivory floral embellished corset paired on top of an ivory draped satin mini-skirt, this mini-dress is a stunning design by Monique Lhuillier.

At Kim King Smith Events, we just love the super glamorous gowns that Pnina Tornai makes every season. Her latest collection features an enchanting one-shouldered mini wedding dress that is the definition of glamour. This little beauty has a sparkly sweetheart neckline that flows down to a large ruffled asymmetrical skirt with just a touch of flair.

After sharing with you a few of our favorite short and chic styles, which one would you love to wear down the aisle for your wedding?

Thank you to Alfred Angelo, Monique Lhuillier and Pnina Tornai for these gorgeous designs and images.

If you don’t like blush, try adding a rosy bronzer to get the fall glow.

InStyle’s little beauty tip?  Lightly apply a pink lipstick to the apple of your cheeks and blend it in toward your jaw line – we agree!  It might seem a tad bit strange to put your lipstick on your face, but it won’t wear off throughout the day and you won’t stop looking fabulous.

Thank you InStyle magazine for these spectacular tips and images.

Thank you to Estée Lauder for this fabulous line of lipsticks and images.
