Musings on Style
According to J.Crew, the inspiration for this dress came from underclothing worn in the Elizabethan period beneath gowns. We just think it’s really cute. An essential go-anywhere frock for the summer, you can’t help but feel just a little Roman Holiday wearing this.
We love the short brim hats that overflowed in Marc Jacobs’ recent Fall 2007 New York runway show. These cloche-eque toppers seem to bring the 1920’s into today, and anything that makes us look like we stepped out of The Great Gatsby is ok by us!
It seems that this hellish freeze-over is not coming to a halt anytime soon. To help keep you looking absolutely fabulous during this season, here are Haute’s Winter 2007 survival picks:
FOR YOUR FACE
Laura Mercier’s Hydra Soothing Gel Mask is a cooling, hydrating mask that instantly relieves dry, damaged skin. With it’s combination of Vitamin B, Aloe Vera, Chamomile, and Cucumber extracts you can expect your skin to be flawlessly smooth and well nourished.
FOR YOUR LIPS
Caudalie’s Lip Conditioner is your best bet. Caudalie’s patented “vinotherapy” skincare line uses stablized grape seed polyphenols.This intensive lip treatment hydrates and repairs dry damaged lips with its enriched antioxidants. Good-bye chapped lips!
FOR YOUR HANDS
For hands, Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve will help repair the most severe dryness. It has been said that this thick rich formula forms a “glove-like” protection against moisture loss. This treatment contains a mixture of botanical oils as well as natural wax derived from Olive Oil.
FOR YOUR FEET
As for your feet, a staple item to keep is L’Occitane’s Shea Butter Foot Cream. This formula is enriched with 15% nourishing Shea Butter for that extra added moisture. Not only does this product contain an antiseptic A.O.C. lavender essential oil which helps purify the skin but it also includes an anti-inflammatory arnica extract to help reduce redness and irritation. Add a tinge of refreshing mint, and you’ll experience soft, cooling feet for the rest of this winter.
