Lingerie Display

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

As faithful readers of Citrine’s blog no doubt know, boudoir-inspired styles are having a major moment right now and it’s all about lingerie galore this spring! While your mother might not approve of these lingerie looks, ’tis the season to reveal your underpinnings—in a fashionable way, of course! Of course, showing off one’s foundation garments can be a decidedly tricky proposition, which is why it’s good to know how directional dressers like Gwen Stefani and Irina Lazareanu execute this runway look in real life. 

Of course, it’s also intriguing to see how trendsetters are interpreting the trend—especially since the subsequent outfits are so fabulous! Much like the looks at Fendi, our favourite celebrity styles are perfectly tempered and offer a combination of diaphanous tops with covered legs. The most popular way to balance a lingerie-showing shirt is to pair it with some jaunty pants, as Irina Lazareanu and Margherita Missoni recently did, albeit in very different ways. Lazareanu turned up at Anna Sui’s F/W 10 show wearing a sheer YSL blouse tucked into wide-leg trousers and topped with a tux blazer, while Missoni attended a Tar Magazine dinner in Milan last week clad in Missoni’s Sissy Tank Top and Sofia Cropped Cardigan with a pair of floral Kenzo harem pants.

Celeb Watch… New Wave

Friday, June 26th, 2009

This season, waves have bounced back onto the beauty scene with a twist. The perfect hairstyle for summer and a firm favourite on the sunny, celebrity packed west coast of America.  The A-list are currently showcasing three great ways to wear the trend.

For a true beach wave, look to surfer girl Cameron Diaz and queen of laid back boho style Sienna Miller, who wear their hair loosely waved.

Use big barrel tongs to get the look or plait your hair on holiday, let it dry and then comb out with your fingers. 
If you want to rock this look in the city, emulate New Yorker Chloe Sevigny who adds edge to the look by mixing waves with straight sections and texture. Use a texturiser to get this disheveled look.

If you’re more groomed than grunge, take your cue from so-chic Kate Bosworth. She gets the look right for night with perfectly prepped and polished waves pulled back into a loose ponytail. Use a shine spray to add extra polish.

4 Ways to stay fresh faced for longer

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

It’s a myth that all models have flawless skin; they just work extra hard at keeping it in picture-perfect condition – for now and in the future.

 

Here’s how. . .

 

1 They shun the sun:

On beach beauty shoots, the models

wear broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen

and duck under an umbrella between

shots.

 

2 They never sleep in make-up:

 

With weeks of back-to-back shows,

even supermodels get spots.  That’s

why they carry hypoallergenic

make-up remover in their handbags.

 

3 They’re mad for facial massage:

 

Make-up artists at fashion shows

routinely use a face rub to wake

up the skin and drain toxins, but

top models are demanding the

process more and more!.

 

4 They indulge in antioxidants:

 

Backstage, it’s the fruit and carrot

sticks that disappear first because

models know vitamins C and E are

great skin food.
