must-be-serendipity asked: Hi Eva! I have an obsession with fashion but in my school people who stand out are considered well.. Weird. I'm only 15 after all. How can I still have a passion for fashion without looking too over the top? -Gillian

moyjessi asked: Hi Eva! I'm a recent journalism grad and I'm interning at Weddingbells Magazine in Toronto. I LOVE it so far! My only concern is that I'm 22 and I feel like a lot of my friends are travelling and having the time of their lives. I told myself if I want to travel and take a year off, I'd go to Korea and teach English (everything is paid for and you can save A LOT), but now...

en-par asked: Hi Eva, what advice do you have for overcoming shyness during internships? I'm finding that it's one of my greatest weaknesses on the job and hardest to overcome. Cheers and hope LA is treating you well!

“I AM VERY CURIOUS. EVERY DAY, I SAY: WHAT AM I GOING TO LEARN TODAY AND WHOM AM...”
– Azzedine Alaïa to the New York Times. Like Azzedine, let’s strive to be curiouser and curiouser (to quote from Alice in Wonderland) everyday. Don’t settle for the safe, the mundane, or the expected. That is all.

LISTEN TO YOUR AUNTIE B
“I’M STILL TRYING TO LEARN THAT I DON’T HAVE TO BE SO HARD ON MYSELF AND BE SO CRITICAL. I CAN SMELL THE ROSES. I DON’T WANT TO NEVER BE SATISFIED. I DON’T THINK THAT’S A HEALTHY WAY TO LIVE.”
-Beyonce Knowles, who isn’t someone whose quotes I throw around regularly. But this statement of hers rang really true with me (especially during the mad...

JASON WU: THE MAKEUP
Before you rhapsodize over the chic, strong blue—wait! At the last minute, makeup artist Diane Kendal actually used a purple eyeshadow instead (from Lancome—out soon!).

PRABAL GURUNG FW13: THE MAKEUP
The makeup was by Charlotte Tilbury, and it was quite a departure from the seriously smoky and dramatic eyes of seasons past. Makeup was soft, feminine, and pretty, to contrast the structured, militaristic look of the clothing.
PRABAL GURUNG FW13, POST 1 OF ABOUT 12913!
Prabal Gurung’s show never fails to inspire me and I absolutely loved his latest collection. the beadwork was out of this world and his slit-up-to-there dresses were absurdly sexy. this one was my favorite!

NYFW, DAY 2: JENNI KAYNE
It’s indisputable that Jenni Kayne is the queen of D’Orsay flats (I had to restrain myself from making a “I daresay that Jenni is the queen of D’Orsay” pun, by the way. 2013 resolution #59 is to be less punny). I trudged through a hailstorm to see her most recent collection, which was a refined collection of sleek LA-modern-retro looks. click through for more...

TOO MUCH JEWELRY? IMPOSSIBLE!
I paid a visit to Jennifer Fisher’s jewelry studio earlier this week. Jennifer and I met when we spoke on a panel together at NYU last year; she asked me about beauty products, I asked her about her jewelry—it was kismet. her aesthetic is distinctly rock and roll and all about layering…[[MORE]]

"DISCIPLINE? OH, I HAVE NONE..."
“…I’M JUST PLEASED WITH WHAT I’M DOING, AND I’M LUCKY TO DO IT IN GREAT CONDITIONS AND WITH PEOPLE I LIKE… PERHAPS THAT IS MY SUGGESTION: IF YOU DO SOMETHING THAT YOU LOVE, YOU DON’T NEED TO FORCE YOURSELF TO DO IT. LOVE AND DISCIPLINE. ARE THEY THAT DIFFERENT?”

LAUREN MOFFATT FW13
of course, the first thing I looked at were the nails. lovely brushed gold by OPI. then, I looked at the hair: soft cascading waves by Redken/Cutler… perfectly soft, swoopy, side-parted waves. [[MORE]]
and, lastly, I loved the little dainty jewelry by Winifred Grace… and the spot-on rustic-chic details like the wooden stumps and lanterns some models held. the show was inspired by...
