Return Of A Swoosh...

-
Remember those 60s and 70s when pretty every woman was making a swoosh eyeliner? Well, these times are back and at the full force. And while you don't yet see many women on the streets wearing a swoosh, you will soon as the recent fashion runaways showed - from Marni to Monique Lhuillier - they are back!
Now, tell me, have you ever managed to do a perfect swoosh eyeliner?

I could never master it! It never looks as perfect as on those cover and runway models. Then, again, they have a whole professional make-up team at their disposal; I'm sure it's not as easy to make ones at home for them as well.

Nevertheless, I've been doing them, but in moderation, not as Amy Winehouse' trademark swoosh eyeliners!


Her eyeliners were just so damn prominent, so - perfect. It was sooooo Amy - [sigh...we'll all miss you!] By the way, I can't believe her website is still active. A very strange feeling - there's no Amy anymore, but there's her site with a last post on December 11, 2011 to remind us all, when it's all abruptly ended...


Watch backstage at Marni, Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012: watch how they do the swoosh eyeliner - [wishing at this moment I had a personal make-up assistant, ha!]


So tell me your secrets to a perfect swoosh eyeliner, because, guess what, we'd all need to master it for the Spring/Summer 2012!

Small Town Profile: The Texan Style

  It's been my fifth year in a row spending Christmas in College Station, Texas - a town that I would have never thought I'd end up going to more than I do to any other places in the world. [How many times I wished my parents settled in places like Paris, London, Florence, Split, Berlin, or at least - in San Francisco and/or Washington, DC - the places that I'd be more than happy to visit them at more often!] So, it's a true battle when the holidays or vacation times come - to go visit my parents in Texas or to go to Paris, Amsterdam or Tokyo - or places I've never visited before? - a battle that I often loose in favor of my parents, and, thus - in favor of the little Texan town, College Station...

Take Me To The City, Take Me To Safari: Or Just Stay On My Feet. Forever.

The spring is almost here, which means - soon-to-be-packed and stored away winter boots are in much need to be replaced with the next sexy-thing on the shoe markets. And not just replaced with any shoes, but with the shoes that make a statement. That is - a  big city kind of statement. These should be the ultimate shoes for both a stylish day and night out on a city. Here's what I call statement shoes perfect for many reasons, including for the reasons appreciate a good piece of art, nature and sexiness in the details:

My Travels: Vermont In Night And Day

OK, here's why I'm not gonna post much this weekend - I'm trying to get the last of what's left of the winter. I'm hitting the slops up in Vermont: one day of skiing at the Killington, VT - today, and tomorrow - it's Stratton, VT . I'm excited about both, especially because I don't get to go skiing often, first of all. Second of all - as I got older, I realized that I'm not really a 'winter sports' person, I'm more of a summer sports person. I prefer to be out in the sun in shorts, rollerblading, playing beach volleyball and/or tennis, or going for a jog and/or a bike ride. That's said, I am , actually, excited for this snowy weekend, but mostly because... The huge part of my excitement lays within the fact that aside from skiing, I'm spending this weekend with my friends at a beautiful house with a fire place in the middle of the woods. And waking up to a smell of freshly brewed coffee and a view to die for - i
