Layering is key for the look, it’s a mix between girly and tough. The collection was inspired by the most influential catwalks for Spring 2013. Key garments includes: the transparent checked shirt, ripped denim, bold front printed tee and the apron dress. Print-wise, the check is the most important print; combined with patchwork, flowers and bold text prints.

MAC Archie Girls Makeup Collection

MAC’s new big makeup collaboration has the 12-year-old girl in me very excited.

It’s ARCHIE COMICS, you guys. Betty! Veronica! All recreated a lá MAC.

I always thought I was a Betty at heart — the quiet girl-next-door with a sweet disposition — but the Veronica line of makeup? Full of vampy reds and moody purples? Dang, I might be swayed toward the dark (haired) side.

Take a look below at the Betty and Veronica “Archie’s Girls” collections:

Sugar-sweet peach and bubblegum pink personifies the cheerful, innocent Betty.

The Veronica line — deep red, purple, navy, etc. — is as bold and daring as the dark-haired heartbreaker herself.

The entire “Archie’s Girls” MAC Collection is available online NOW, and in stores February 7…just in time for Valentine’s Day.

rag & bone launches its first ad campaign for Spring/Summer 2013 featuring the one and only Kate Moss. The campaign was shot in England, photographed by Alasdair McLellan, and produced by Laird+Partners. Spring/Summer 2013 is a continuation of the minimalistic concept of creating unique, stripped back imagery. I WANT IT ALL!!

“We shot our first campaign on a deserted North London street so thought it would be an interesting contrast to follow up in a remote English village, which Kate happens to have an affinity for. It was also a fun play on our British heritage,” says Marcus Wainwright, Managing Partner.

OPI celebrates a region where history meets modern design, featuring the Euro Centrale by OPI for Spring/Summer 2013. The collection consists of twelve new nail lacquers with a mix of glamorous metallic hues; playful bright shades in periwinkle, aqua and pink; and creamy blues in indigo, midnight and aubergine. The collection will be available February 6th for $9.00 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each Nail Lacquer.

“Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania make up an exciting new fashion hotspot,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “When visiting these countries, you’ll view Gothic churches alongside vibrant graffiti murals, blending two very different aesthetics. This fusion of old and new was also seen in runway looks during New York Fashion Week, where classic styles were reinvented with modern silhouettes and patterns.

Euro Centrale by OPI includes the following shades:
Polka.com – Blue and violet are dancing partners in this glittery combo.
OPI…Eurso Euro – This deep blue cream is very continental.
Suzi’s Hungary AGAIN! – Thank goodness there are zero calories in this warm and yummy pink!
You’re Such a BudaPest – If I let you borrow this periwinkle-purple, will you go away?
Can’t Find My Czechbook – I hope you take credit, because I must have this aqua!
My Paprika is Hotter than Yours! – Get the extinguisher…this fiery red is sizzling!
Hands Off My Kielbasa! – Get your own…this bronzy tan is all mine!
OY–Another Polish Joke! – So this shimmery-gold walks into a bar…
A Woman’s Prague-ative – I’m changing this shimmery copper for…never mind!
Vant to Bite My Neck? – You know you want to…wear this deep eggplant.
I Saw…U Saw…We Saw…Warsaw – Be seen in this deep midnight blue.
My Vampire is Buff – Creamy, pale and nude…just how I like my vampires.
