New York Spring 2009: Thakoon

“I was feeling a lot of sexuality and seduction. You’ll see that in the softness of the fabrics and silhouettes-the idea of dressing and undressing.” This is how the designer Thakoon Panichgul described his Spring collection. The softness and the almost-naked appeal was evident as the sheer chiffon skirts and vinyl corset dresses came down the runway. Prints were playful like the kisses lipstick marks and the eyelashes print. The dresses were sensual with cutouts, in wraps, and as a bondage style. Nonetheless, the impeccable construction of the pieces made them look classy and sophisticated. And without a doubt, the highlight of the collection were the dresses made of pleated and molded chiffon and georgette which climaxed the romanticism and sensuality of the entire collection.

In Love With: Dior’s Diorshow Iconic Mascara

For years I have tried to find the perfect mascara and a month ago I finally did. I have been in love with it ever since and still cannot believe its magic! The Diorshow Iconic Mascara is a high definition, lash curling mascara that was created backstage for fashion shows and celebrity red carpet events. It is the single most alluring weapon for dramatic and stunning lashes! Its innovative formula comes with a revolutionary curvy Oblique Brush that is especially designed to create curvier, ticker and sexier lashes while the hairspray-derived polymers will help you keep this gorgeous look for a long time.

No other product in the market can curl your lashes as much as this mascara can which is amazing especially for people like me who are anti-using eyelash curlers. The mascara goes on very smoothly and it is very easy to roll up the brush, which gives more lash separation. It feels extremely light on your lashes and your eyes pop out with the curl, volume and length of the Iconic Mascara. It is priced at $28 and you can find it at most retailers and Dior counters.
