Guest Bloger Klara from Click Your Heels With Me!

We invited our fans to become a Guest Bloger for us and today we run the first of those Guest Blogers Klara Burgess. Read a little about Klara and then you can see what her focus is for the blog..its a great read..

My name is Klara, and I am the author of Click Your Heels a new Aussie beauty blog on the scene. Really I'm just another twenty-something with an unhealthy appetite for all things makeup, beauty and fashion related. I began Click Your Heels because I wanted a place to share with others my interest in beauty and fashion. I hope you enjoy my guest post for MakeupNet!


As the great Giorgio Armani once said:
"Accessories are important and becoming more and more important every day. They can completely change the look of an outfit, and women like the idea of having a wardrobe that's versatile. For instance, a strong piece of jewellery can make a simple outfit look elegant."

Prada Python Boot Fall 2011



This season it is all about the fashion accessory, statement necklaces, beaded bracelets, fringe, fringe and more fringe and  python print are all flavours of the moment. When your wardrobe is looking a little tired and boring adding a few key accessories can totally transform your look. Invest in good quality basic  pieces of clothing then each season spend your money on the trend accessories
of the moment.  Animal print is a pattern that seems to never really go out of fashion. This year the animal print du jour is the python print seen at Prada Fall 2011 Ready to Wear. The easiest way to get some python  in your life is to add a simple print clutch to your outfit. It’s simple and understated so you will be on trend without looking like you’ve tried too hard.






If your jewellery collection needs an update don’t think dainty pretty pieces, this season it is all about statement jewellery. A torque necklace in silver or brushed gold adds instant interest to a simple black or white tee shirt. The most covetable wrist candy of the season
has to be the Shamballa bracelet, layer up the colourful beads on each
arm and you’re set.                                          Olivia Palermo at DKNY's Sun Soiree




Miu

 

Miu Fall/Winter 2011 showcased vintage ladylike style with fun accessories; the cat eye sunglasses. These don’t have to be reminiscent of 1960’s housewife glamour. The new take on this style is a more
subtle and rounded shape than its predecessor. You can go for a classic black frame or even try out some coloured frame versions.

Miu Miu Fall/Winter

2011 Ready-to-Wear Collection

At Isabel Marant Fall/Winter 2011 it was the fringe boots which were the standout of the collection. Fringe is finding its way into many accessories this season notably the across the shoulder bag. This piece is perfect for the current festival season. It’s large enough to fit the essentials and an easy way to indulge in the fringe trend.

Gothic Vamp Makeup & Indy Brands

 

I love ‘indy’ makeup.  Its unique and creative and offers us something some of the major brands don’t..something different.  Major brands really are very much the same and when I shop the ‘indy’ brands I know I will find something exciting to bring to our customers. 

Read about Morgana and how she got started in her business making some very good quality lipsticks.

Beautiful Bold Lipsticks are a must and this one from Morgana is stunning

This is called 'Bees Knees" and is my favorite colour from the 1920's collection

Morgana Cryptoria is a woman owned small business located in Arizona.  Cryptoria is an expansion of Morgana Minerals, a company created in November 2006. 

From 2006-2008 Morgana spent time learning about ingredients, experimenting with formulas, & web design. In 2008, orders would trickle in once in awhile. By 2009, orders began to increase due to word of mouth. Mid 2009 Morgana Minerals began to get recognized by beauty blogs and started to get the exposure it really needed. 

In late 2010 Morgana opened Morgana Cryptoria & closed Morgana Minerals.

Morgana’s plan is to become less of a mineral makeup company and focus on traditional cosmetics while working on plans to expand into gothic clothing, decor, and jewellery in the future.

Morgana is mostly known for her famous handcrafted vegan lipsticks.

Do you aspire to start your own makeup range..if so we would love to hear from you and help promote your brand.

 
This brand is now avaiable in Australia from www.makeupnet.com.au Lipsticks are $13.99

Limecriem Makeup is for everyone

 

If you have read this blog before you know that I am a BIG fan of Limecrime makeup and that most of the pictures that we run show the amazing looks you can create with the bold brand of Limecrime Makeup. 

Most of the looks we post are not for the shy types...so I was really delighted when I saw these pictures from Doe Deere's blog showing her in a very demur look using Limecrime.  This look could be worn by anyone from ages 13 to 75!  So if you have looked at Limecrimes makeup and thoguth you would love to buy some of it but hesitated because you don't think you could wear it.......................think again!

Australian Launch of New Limecrime Colours late March!

If you think lipstick should only come in reds and browns, stop right here and think again. Lime Crime’s Pop Romance collection is for the bravest of trend-setters aiming to stand out — all the while remaining as cute as a button.
3 revolutionaryshades — paled-out nude, banana yellow and pastel mint — come in a 100% vegan formula and speak volumes of the wearer before she even opens her mouth. Coquette loves to mix feminine with edgy and can’t live a day without smoky eye, New Yolk City is a fearless experimental fashionista, and Mint To Be is for the cooky side in all of us.
Here at Lime Crime we like to speak our mind. Pop Romance is your lips, uncensored

Beauty Bits: Pucker Worthy Pinks For Valentine's Day

Feb 8th 2011 4:30PM / by Rachel Raczka

Get your smooches ready, girls. Valentine's Day is just around the corner so we scouted out some of this season's hottest lip shades in perfect pinks, guaranteed to make your guy swoon.

We asked Brooklyn-based cosmetics expert and Lime Crime founder Doe Deere for her best tip on wearing a proper pink: "There is no better time to wear a bright lip than Valentine's Day! Before you start, make sure your lips are kissably soft by prepping them with lip balm and exfoliating gently with a Q-tip. Define shape and fill in with a matching pencil and apply lipstick directly from the bullet. Blot to remove excess, re-apply and blot again. Top with clear lip gloss for maximum "wow" effect, or leave it matte to last you through many smooches!"

Lime Crime's Opaque Lipstick in "Countessa Fluorescent": This super creamy, super pigmented neon pink gives hot and heavy coverage. The part lipstick, part lip stain formula gives it the ultimate SWAC seal of approval, and the unicorn hologram-embellished tube... Well, that confirms it: we think we're in love.
$16
Space NK, 217 Columbus Ave.; 212-362-2840.

MAC's Lipstick in "Girl About Town": Finally a solid magenta -- sans undertones -- that can flatter every skin shade without washing you out with the winter blues. A creamy finish without a trace of shine or shimmer gives you a sophisticated shade.
$14.50
MAC, 46th & Broadway and locations throughout the city.

L'Oréal Paris True Match Naturale Gentle Lip Conditioner in "Soft Bloom": A demure choice for the sweetest of Valentine's, this mineral-based lip treatment provides a sheer wash of petal pink with a moisturizing formula of Sweet Almond Oil and Vitamin E.
$9.95
Duane Reade, locations everywhere.

Tarte's LipSurgence Natural Lip Luster in "Pouty": The latest in Tarte's popular LipSurgence pen-shaped lip tint comes with a touch of sparkle and plenty of naturally restorative properties that keep this a favorite among beauty counter regulars. Pouty is a rich glittering berry that is just pleading to be picked.
$24
Sephora, 711 Lexington Ave. and locations throughout the city.

Stella McCartney Gear very disappointed ? Were you?

Well I went off today to get a look at the much awaited Stella McCartney range.  I actually expect to find very little left in the Target store near our place as the radio shows yesterday were portraying the opening and sales as absolutely crazy.

So I was amazed at the amount of the range that was sitting on the many many racks and shelves. 

I was particularly interested in looking at the bags as the designs leaked in the promo material showed them to be very stylish and just what I was looking for in a big black tote.  

I cannot say just how disappointed I was in the bags..the shapes and styles are all good as are the colours, but the actual quality of the material used on the outside of the bags leaves them looking very cheap indeed!!!  They appear to be beautifully made on the inside, but outside...I would not part with $100.00 for a bag that looks plastic.

The clothes were nice, nothing that made me feel like buying though I have to say..so all round I was a little let down on the total range.  

Have you seen the range?  What did you think overall?  Love to hear your views?

Cheers...a disappointed Jill

Stella McCartney

Perhaps the biggest perk of being a fashion designer is the ability to design not for yourself but for your kids. Just ask Stella McCartney. Not only is she about to bring her fourth child into the world, she’s also about to introduce a new collection specifically for the 12-and-under set. Pieces like cashmere blend pea jackets and floral dresses are designed to be both affordable and timeless, so you don’t have to choose between dressing your child well and sending her to college. And the line even features shrunken versions of pieces from her main collection. Still, McCartney knows that as fashion consumers go, kids are as fickle as anyone.

Q.

Do you take more pleasure in designing for yourself (and your friends) or for your kids (and their friends)?

A.

I take pleasure in designing for both myself and my kids. Being so pregnant right now probably means I want to dress myself a little less, but hopefully when I have had my fourth baby and (fingers crossed) regained a waist, I might dream of dressing myself again! The two things are so separate yet so related. I think most mums secretly take more delight in dressing their kids, but maybe as I get older, I might find myself spoiling myself more! The reality is I am so lucky to be able to design for both myself and my kids; luckily, it is not all about just me or them, but lots of other people wearing it too!

Do you let your kids weigh in on the design process at all? If so, have they vetoed anything? Or have they asked for anything in particular? And do you oblige them?

‎ The kids are involved just by the mere fact that they are the most important things in my life, so are present in my brain at all times. Their likes and dislikes creep in, and sometimes I have to be careful of that, as my daughter is 3 and deep in the pink thing and I have to remind myself she will probably hate it in six months!

I try to think beyond just my experience of kids. When working on the collection, though, I have to go beyond their ages and think of older kids, think about all their needs, their parents, the timelessness, the ability to hand down to other generations, gifts, quality, cost, accessibility, distribution — every element is key, as it all makes kids’ clothing important. I am not just dressing kids, I am creating memories … hopefully!

Did you learn anything particularly noteworthy about kids’ design from the capsule collection you designed for the Gap?

I’ve wanted to do kids ever since I’ve had kids and probably even a little bit before. And everyone has said to me over the last years, “When are you going do kids?” So I had a lot of pressure with the collaboration I did with the Gap, and I continue to feel that pressure still now, because it’s really about always having a great collection.

When I collaborated with the Gap, it was a “one-off” collection, and it really had to appeal to such a wide range of people. And now, launching my own kid collection, it is still really important — especially since children’s clothes have sort of become disposable — for it to be accessible and realistic on the price points but still be timeless, have great quality and can be passed down for generations. For me, those were the points that were really key to achieve.

It’s really a modern way of looking at kids’ clothing, especially being a designer brand that is trying to be more considerate to the needs of the market. I think it’s the right thing to do. I find it inconsiderate to do kids’ wear and be incredibly expensive, because you are a designer brand. Our biggest challenge was trying to tick all of the boxes. We really wanted to make it modern from creating the right design for the right age group, to having unisex styles, to being available online immediately and to the price point. It really made the most sense for us right now to do it this way.
