Beauty Trend: Spider Lashes

As I was browsing through a few Fall 2011 fashion shows, I noticed that spider lashes were everywhere. Yes, spider lashes are back. I just love the look of big, clumpy lashes. There is something appealing about them.

The look is quite easy to achieve. The two mascaras that were used on the models about were CoverGirl NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara (for Lavin, Gucci, and Valentino) and MAC Fibre Rich Lash (for Cholé).

For the rest of the eyes, try to keep the eyelids simple. The spider lashes are the main focus. As for the lips, you can go with just about any color you would like.

I thought that I should add that spider lashes were also a signature look for Twiggy.

Style.com/Print Magazine Premiere

For the longest time, I have heard rumors, but I was never quite sure whether or not they were true. Now I can confirm that Syle.com/Print Magazine is real and out on the newsstands. At $6.99, the magazine itself is not really expensive. Style.com/Print Issue 01 will go in depth into all the Spring 2012 collection, runway shows, parties, and more. 

On the cover if the first issue is the 17 year old model, Lindsey Wixson. 

 

Below are a few other pages from the magazine.

Versace for H&M

http://gris-agency.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/versace-HM-2011-6.jpg
Donatella recently released the news that Versace will be coming to H&M this month. On November 19th, H&M stores will open their doors the the mobs of shoppers hopping to snag a an item from the line. The entire collection will be sold out in a matter of minutes! The H&M (US) site already opened a promotion page for Versace so you can preview the collection. The collection will feature women's, accessories, men's, and home items. During an interview, Donatella Versace described the collection saying, "The collection for H&M is the essence of Versace. For the collaboration we've brought back from the archives, as well as from more recent collections, some of the icons of Versace, such as the bright prints, the Greek key and daring cuts. I can't wait to see how H&M's wide audience will make these pieces their own."




This dress was worn by Donatella Versace to the Versace mensware show this summer! 



Leather dress, $299
Bracelet, $29.95
Suede boots, $149



















The collection featured "iconic Versace moments right up to the present day," so of course they had to include a dress inspired by her most recent, Spring 2011 collection. 




Silk dress, $149, 
Necklace, $39.95
















 The collection wasn't all classic tailored. This "Techno Japan" print dress is on the crazier side. 




Silk dress, $149, 
Leggings, $29.95



















  


Just look at this metalic mesh dress. I just love the draping!


  

Metallic dress, $249


















This dress is right in between edgy and sweet. The corset top gives it a tough girl look, but the flowy bottom gives it a soft contrast.

Suede boots, $149










Are you planning on buying anything from the collection? What are you favorite pieces?

Welcome To Karina's Corner

I have this idea in my head that every new thing needs an introduction. I like to be neat and orderly, so an introduction is necessary for me to have. However, I hate writing them. They are always so awkward and I never know what to say or what not to say. So for this introduction, I started off by telling you I hate introductions. I think the purpose of that little rant was to stall myself from actually introducing the blog and to make this post seem like a good and somewhat long, welcoming introduction. Okay, enough with that.

Karina's Corner is centered around me. Anything that I feel like writing about will be posted here. It will basically be a collection of random topics. I will be focusing mostly on fashion and beauty. Health and lifestyle are very similar and you will see a few posts in those topics. When I say that I will write posts related to media, I use that word very loosely. Media for me is music, movies, celebrities, magazines, and anything else on the internet. Honestly, I am not quite sure of what I will post about. But, we'll see.
