HOL Beauty Trend: Fresh Faced

Another great beauty trend from the fall runways that is a definite favorite of ours around House of Lavande is the fresh, clean look of neutral colors and flawless skin. Achieving this look begins with a steady routine of cleansing and moisturizing, and is completed using simple colors and minimal application.

Mad for Monochrome

The fall 2012 runways had much to offer this year at Fashion Week, and one of the trends we are loving most is the classic look of black and white monochrome. From edgier menswear cuts, to beautiful flowing chiffon and organza, the simplicity of black and white is sure to be a chic staple this coming fall season.

Louis and Marc's Big Night

Last night in Paris the Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs exhibition had it's grand opening night! We gave you a small sneak peek a few weeks ago, but check out the slideshow below for some of the glorious sights from last night's opening. Celebrating Marc Jacobs' 15 years as Creative Director for the brand, the stars came out to celebrate. Vintage trunks, masked nurses carrying handbags done in collaboration with Richard Prince, and 19th century doll clothes were all on display, taking visitors throughout Louis Vuitton's history. Watch this video to see red carpet arrivals, and for a great look into the show last night! 

Also yesterday was the magnificent Fall 2012 ready to wear show. Held inside the Louvre, models stepped out of an old fashion train car, escorted down the runway with their own porters, carrying multiple bags. Jacobs inspiration for the show was for "Things to look like they were from a different time" Which no doubt, goes hand in hand with the exhibition as well. Check out the video of the show, courtesy of Louisvuitton.com, and some still shots from the show as well!
