mixing prints: a primer
if you love mixing prints (and, oh boy, do I), the key is to have their general color-schemes match up… and having them both be from Kenzo doesn’t hurt either ^_^

simplyailin asked: Dear Eva, lately I've been doubting about going into the magazine industry despite majoring in Journalism and having a head position of an Ed2010 club, writer for a fashion blog, etc. I feel like its a cut-throat, almost backstabbing and extremely shallow industry. I have wanted to write for magazines since my mom gave me my first Teen Vogue subscription at age 13. Am I wrong for what i am...

red carpet roundup: SAG Awards
darlings, I had the incredible experience of being on the red carpet for the first time ever this Sunday as a guest of L’Oreal Paris. it’s hard to explain the experience—to be out-numbered by celebrities (oh, hey, Bradley Cooper! oh, hi, cast of Glee!) was definitely surreal. the main thing I learned, really, is that stars are just like us—except perfectly coiffed and maintained....

everyone should look like this at awards shows
by “this”, I mean model Barbara Palvin, who looked incandescently and just ridiculously gorgeous at the Golden Globes. now, those of you who follow me on twitter, know about my obsession with awards shows. I live for them and, yes, live-tweet them exhaustively until my fingers get crampy and sore. so…big announcement… the Screen Actor’s Guild awards are just 48...

trangnguyen28 asked: Greetings Eva! Without sounding like a total dork, you are a skincare spirit animal! I've since changed the way I take care of my skin from just following you on Twitter, IG, and here. Although I've been able to change my skin for the better, I'm still curious about serums! There are just so many on the market and its all so intimidating. I have fairly good skin, I think the only...

whimsical sweatshirt + serious skirt = outfit of...
last week I was lucky enough to host a dinner with the CFDA. I had just returned from Korea, was a bleary, jet-lagged mess. this is the outfit I pulled together in a nanosecond: [[MORE]]sweatshirt and pencil skirt from Korean brand Top Ten (it’s like their H&M),

I want candy (colored shoes)
oh, oh, oh, I know I’ve been delinquent in my posts these last few days. deadlines for 924721 different articles I’m writing and—exciting—working on the design of this little blog of mine! but I digress: this post is all about the plethora of chic spring shoes that have been streaming into my inbox (and therefore stream of consciousness). like these new ones from Sigerson Morrison. I...

perilouspearls asked: Dear Eva, I was wondering what your opinion on men in the fashion editing business was? I am aware of that their a number of male editors out there but I still wonder whether or not their is room for a man to be successful. My mother and school guidance counselor insist there is no future for me in fashion due to my being a man. Fashion is my life and working for a fashion magazine is my dream...

breakingupisthenewblack asked: Hi Eva. I love your Tumblr; your personality and aesthetic really brighten my day. So my question is really thorough. I have always treated my skin quite terribly - I don't take my makeup off at night, I don't ever use any treatments or masks, and I pretty much just use an acne cleanser and maybe Dove moisturizing cream. It was all OK until I turned the big 30. Now, I feel like my skin...

“I see beauty everywhere”
– the late, great Kevyn Aucoin. I never got to meet him, in all my years as a beauty editor, but he seemed like such a beacon of positivity and light—rarities in the fashion industry, to be honest! anyway, lately I’ve been obsessed with his eyelash curler. love that it’s red, so you can...

rays-and-carrots asked: Dear Eva, I am planning on majoring in median and communications at one of SUNY universities in New York. I am torn between going to university or going to pursue my passion for modeling. I feel like I have what it takes and can manage it but either way what are my chances if growing up and sustaining a family's yet on? I don't want to be only a housewife and I want to be a good...

– very true words spoken by Grace Coddington in The September Issue. I wish I had learned this lesson in my teens and in college instead of being a wee shy lass. girls (and guys), never be afraid to speak your mind. you have nothing to lose

shuweet-deactivated20130513 asked: Hi Eva! So this is kind of random question but I'd love to hear you opinion because you're really good at doling out advice. I know what I want to do with my life after I graduate from college, but I'm terrified to tell my parents because I know they won't approve but waiting to tell them is really weighing on me and I'm just stuck in a rut. I can't wait to go for it,...
