Makeup for tweens and teens: What's appropriate?
As girls return to school, the pressure is on for them to look their best. Celebrity make-up artist Joanna Schlip offers tips on helping them do it right.
Whether it's their first Bonne Bell Lip Smackers or playing dress-up with their mothers' lipstick, many girls start experimenting with makeup early. For tweens and teens, one of the rituals of back-to-school time is the fight with Mom over what is and isn't age- and school-appropriate.
This year, a busy Fashion's Night Out
Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and West Hollywood have hundreds of shopping events planned for the Vogue-sponsored celebration next Friday.
Last year's first installment of Fashion's Night Out, an effort to jump-start a sagging industry with an evening full of shopping events in major cities all over the world that was brought to us by New York-based Vogue magazine and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, was, not surprisingly, very Manhattan-centric. Southern California was barely represented, with a few local scattered efforts staged at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills and the Fred Segal Center on Melrose Avenue.
Fall fashions for women look back to the 1950s
Think ladylike: longer skirts, figure-hugging sweaters and floral cocktail dresses. Camisoles, leopard prints and fun jewelry and scarves add a modern touch.
Fashion is having a bit of an identity crisis this fall. The military-tough, almost street-warrior vibe is still going strong with cargo pants, utility jackets and tailored coats, while fur (both real and faux) is aggressively adorning almost everything from boots to anorak collars. But on the flip side of this heavy, edgy approach to fall dressing is the season's pulled-together 1950s aesthetic, inspired by the ladylike look of that decade.
This fall, fashion is a bit schizophrenic. On one hand, you have "Mad Men" beauties in retro full skirts, tight sweaters and kitten heels. On the other hand, you have "Mad Max" beasties in cargo pants, shaggy fur vests, animal prints and tough-looking boots.
Taryn Rose returns with new comfort fashion shoe lines
The orthopedist's luxury shoe line Haute Footure is exclusive to Neiman Marcus. A less expensive line, High Heel Power, is available on the Home Shopping Network.
Two years after selling her original namesake company, Taryn Rose is back in full force. The orthopedist/shoe designer, who made her name crafting fashion-forward designs that are as comfortable as they are pretty, has debuted a luxury line that is available at Neiman Marcus, with new designs rolling out this fall. A less expensive division is featured on the Home Shopping Network. And with new partners the Schottenstein Group, Rose will have a midrange line available at stores including Bloomingdales, Nordstrom and Macy's next year.
Like fellow Brits Kate Moss and Sienna Miller before her, model and TV host Alexa Chung is known as much for her enviable personal style as she is for her professional accomplishments. And her penchant for boyish, effortless-looking getups makes her a fitting collaborator for Madewell, a brand steeped in classic casual clothes tweaked slightly for the trendy set.

Well-dressed walls: Retail boutiques showcasing artists' works
Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Paul Smith, Armani Exchange, Code C and Noni are among the retailers displaying artworks for sale among the fashions. The art-fashion relationship has grown stronger in recent years.
When Louis Vuitton's 20,000-square-foot flagship opened on New Bond Street in London this spring, the coveted fashions and handbags weren't the only things on display.
