Neon Lights Eye Shadow by GIVENCHY

At first glance GIVENCHY's NEW Le Prismissime 9-Colors Eyeshadow could be mistaken for an artist's palette of insanely bright Miami Beach inspired paint colors better suited for a blank white canvas. But while these colors look intimidatingly bold they are in fact soft and flattering. This limited-edition eye shadow palette features nine gorgeous shades inspired by neon lights which go on like a sheer wash of shimmery color. So pretty, so summer! Available at Sephora

Paris Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Week: Christian Dior

Paris Haute Couture is here! The fashion week all couture lovers can't wait for has arrived as we gladly spend the next couple of days oohing and aahing over some very delectable confections of fabric! Here are some photos from the first Christian Dior show sans John Galliano, who has since been replaced as Creative Director by the design team's talented Bill Gaytten. I love the playful headpieces, bright dancing colors, painterly influences along geometric lines, textures, patterns...No one, least of all me, will forget Galliano's spectacular ode to flower power last season, but if this new collection is anything to go by, long time design team member Gaytten is already doing the Galliano/Dior legacy proud...

Red White & Blue Weekend

The Fourth of July weekend is just around the corner and I am ready as ever for the shows of celebration and freedom that will take place all over the United States. I am talking of course about dazzling (and deafening) fireworks displays lighting up the night sky, smoky barbecues dotting the hot city landscape, pairs of red white and blue shorts proudly worn by your patriotic neighbors, loud family picnics, musical parades, and so much more. So in the spirit of independence I say march yourself over to your favorite clothing store and indulge yourself! Treat yourself to something lovely, just as long as it's red, white, and blue.... Have a lovely weekend everyone!
Kisses, RedPoppy xoxo
