Taking a bath seems pretty straightforward. Turn on the water, soap up, scrub, rinse off, and you’re done. Simple enough, right? Well, with the brutal frigid winter air drying out your skin, things can get a bit complicated. One key winter beauty concern is how to keep your skin looking moisturized and beautiful in spite of the harsh weather. The solution starts in the shower:
1. Ease up on the long, hot showers and baths
Scalding hot showers feel absolutely divine when the weather outside is frightful, but they dry out your skin by removing the natural oils already being attacked by the winter air. Opt for a short lukewarm bath. It’s much gentler on you skin and keeps in moisture.
2. Use a moisturizing soap or body wash: Most soaps contain alkalines that dry your skin. Look for fatted products, ie, products with lots of oils to make sure you stay moisturized.
3. Pat your skin dry: Rubbing that towel over your skin may be tempting when your bathroom isn’t filled with glorious steam from your scalding hot shower, and you feel a little chilly after getting out of the water. But rubbing is harsh, and takes away much of the little moisture left after you bathe. Patting your skin locks in moisture, and will keep your skin looking radiant.
4. Oils and butters: Using lotion in the winter is like drinking flavored water when what you really need is a hearty smoothie. Buy skin products like coconut oil, shea and cocoa butter. These usually have thicker, more solid and greasy consistencies and come in tubs rather than bottles. And absolutely stay away from alcohol-based products.

“To be honest, I don’t know why they pulled [that image] off. I thought it was a beautiful photo. We did a lot of photos that day, and working with Steven [Meisel], working with Pat [McGrath], working with Oribe and Carlyne [Cerf de Dudzeele] — we were creating art. I think they’re beautiful photos and I’m very proud of all of them. I’m happy with the results. I think that they’re photos that are hopefully going to become iconic. I had so much fun with the shoot, I was so happy to do it.”
–Karlie Kloss to Styleite on the now-infamous image from her Vogue Italia editorial being removed from the magazine’s website.
There is arguably not a single pair of shoes that has more legend or nostalgia surrounding them than the famous ruby slippers that Judy Garland wore as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, courtesy of Glinda the Good Witch. They were ill-begotten (the Wicked Witch of the East was smashed by Dorothy’s house), not practical for roaming around a forest full of scary flying monkeys, and magical (or horrifying, depending on how you feel about going home).
The ruby slippers will be available to the highest bidder courtesy of auction Profiles in History on December 16, but you can see them now–up close and in person–at the Solange Azagury-Partridge boutique in NYC (809 Madison Ave). It’s fitting that the jeweler should play host to the glittery kicks–she’s well known for covering her jewelry in rainbow-colored gems (and she even has a rainbow carpet at her store).

Today’s WWD has a sneak peek at Karl Lagerfeld’s new lower-priced womenswear line, Karl, and it seems that his growing fashion empire is becoming Kardashian-esque in many ways. In addition to developing a comparable number of fashion lines and licensing deals (albeit of better quality, we hope), Karl has apparently adopted the letter ‘K,’ the Kut Cut, has noticed. As in, according to WWD, Karl’s “K-riddled” brand book includes descriptors like “ironiK,” “artistiK” and “aKcessible.”
This of course begs the question: who deserves the privilege of using the letter ‘k’ to replace the letter ‘c’ wherever possible, Karl Lagerfeld or the Kardashians? I don’t think there is enough room in this business for both of them to overuse this konsonant, so here are our arguments for each party:

Chanel’s pre-fall 2012 show was nothing if not sumptuous. Kohl-smudged eyes and a lavish Indian banquet set the tone for a collection that was definitely not subtle. Peter Philips, Chanel’s creative director of makeup, wielded his gold fairy dust liberally on the models, adding golden highlights to cheeks and eyes, Style.com is reporting. So this was not the setting for a subtle, nude polish.

It’s fairly widespread knowledge at this point in time that reality television isn’t exactly what we’d consider “reality.” Stars of these cheap-to-produce shows generally keep mum on the subject until their contracts expire and their fame dwindles, at which point they release a tell-all about how staged their “realities” actually were. The latest example of this phenomenon comes to us via Janice Dickinson, the self-proclaimed “World’s First Supermodel” and former judge on America’s Next Top Model.

Left: Elle France November 2011, Right: American Vogue October 2010
Look: Carey Mulligan is on the November cover of French Elle. Except wait, the photograph is literally identical to the one that covered American Vogue‘s October issue last year. It was the actresses’ first Vogue cover and was shot by Peter Lindbergh (shortly after he started shooting for the mag again after an 18-year hiatus). And this French Elle cover is blatantly from the same shoot, which took place in the South of France last year and was styled by Vogue‘s Grace Coddington. Here’s a behind-the-scenes video.
There might be very minor differences–her mouth looks slightly different and Elle‘s is a bit more zoomed out–but the pose, background and Chanel couture dress are all the same (it’s like a really tricky game of Photohunt!). Or it’s just the exact same shot.
Magazines sharing photographs within the same publishing house is not uncommon. So if this photograph had appeared on, say, Glamour Netherlands (another Condé Nast publication), it wouldn’t have been that surprising. However, French Elle is part of Hachette Filipacchi, which is completely separate. So, is this even legal? Read more »
Last week I ran into Pamela Love at the launch party for her collaboration with Shopstyle, the encyclopedic shopping website. Love is Shopstyle’s first designer collaboration ever, and for the occasion she reimagined some of her classic pieces in rose gold and red resin, to be sold at a lower price point (because not everyone can afford $700 cuffs).
I got the chance to speak with Pamela about the collaboration, her CFDA win, and her best memories in her hometown in Florida, and lucky for me, her best friend from high school, Jen, was sitting right beside her to provide some comic relief and insight.

The very handsome Viggo Mortensen stars on T’s Holiday 2011 issue cover. While we’ve never complained about Viggo’s appearance (or Aragorn’s, as he is known in my brain…) Gabe Delahaye at Videogum has pointed out that Viggo is looking a little weird, like 30 years younger weird. You should read his full rant, but here’s a sampling:
I didn’t realize Delia’s was doing catalogues for boys now…The dude is 53 years old. 53 YEARS OLD! So we’re not even just talking about the age-inappropriate outfit, which makes him look like he’s not sure if he’s going to make it to Jacob’s bar mitzvah this weekend because the new skate park opened two towns over and if he can convince his mom to drive him and Brad then the two of them are going to go shred. It’s also the FACE HE IS MAKING. He looks like he’s asking to borrow your lip balm as a pretext to fingerbang you under the bleachers.
He is looking a little Jordan Catalano-ish, right? Read more »
