I've been in a long time pursuit for the perfect RED lipstick.

Many reds can have a hint of orange, scream fire engine or give off a deep & dark goth feel. My search was for the purest of all reds.

Recently while cruising the beauty aisles at the local culver city Target I spotted the last tube of L'Oreal TARGET RED. Just by eyeing the color I knew I had a winner. At a $6 price point I could not resist the purchase, and am glad I didn't. The lipstick has become one of my favorite make-up essentials - I've used this color on the models in numerous L.A. Vintage Exchange shoots, given as a birthday present to fashionable friends & carry a tube in my purse at all times. While ok for a photo shoot- no need to layer on the eye make-up like many of the ladies above- keep this look wearable with a natural glow and kissable red lips.

Found exclusively at Target Stores - Not available online.

denim Persona

Now this is an interesting duo that made me perk up.

Inspired totally by David Bowie's album, Ziggy Stardust,

J Brand is collaborating with LA surfer now designer,

Henry Duarte, to release three new skinny jeans styles.

Yay!

The styles go like this:

Raygun
indigo with a shiny spray tint wash
exposed zippers
custom pulls
seaming
topstitching

Ziggy
handmade hardware
zipper accents
soft black wash

Suffragette
take on Duarte’s signature lace-up front jeans with a pigment rub wash

The rocker's persona sells for about $250. But then again, you and Gwyneth Paltrow would have something in common.

Starting Dec. 09 you can find these at Barneys, Intermix & Ron Herman.

marc Joseph + palm springs

Just got word about vintage buyer March Joseph's "Secret Back Room" sale taking place this weekend in Palm Springs.

Did I read this correctly- men's Armani suits for $120, Zegna sport coats for $40, and women's shoes by Ferregamo and Bally for $25?

Their collection includes 7000 pieces of vintage designer clothing from the 1930s on. As of recent- he only sells via appointment or online- making sales like this worth the drive for serious vintage lovers.

Secret Back Room Sale
1055 North Palm Canyon, Palm Springs
Sunday, September 6, 12pm-5pm
(818) 823-6079
