I think I have found my inspiration for my next season- I've been obsessed with stop-motion animation and I've always had a soft spot for all things ye old curiosity shoppe like... so I had to share this amazing and inspiring video called "Lost Things" featuring music by A Fine Frenzy. Concept and photography by Angela Kohler.

My friend Heather who I graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with recently branched out on her own and has created the most beautiful collection of bridal accessories under the name Borrowed and Blue Bride and when it came time to style our new looks for Layla L'obatti for Between the Sheets, I thought that the ivory lingerie would look gorgeous styled with bridal veils, garters, and a bouquet. Thanks to Heather we have some amazing veils and fascinators that made our collection come to life in these pin-up and bridal themed images.

I don't care whether it's holiday, valentine's day, or labor day- red lipstick never goes out of style! There is no better way to update your look and totally change the way your face looks than to throw on a gorgeous shade of red.
To start you will need:
*A red lipstick in a shade that's right for you (Ask someone at the makeup counter to help you find the right shade for you, and always make sure to walk outside and check it in the daylight too!)
*Matching lipliner
*concealer, liquid foundation, or some sort of lip primer
Here I used Mac satin finish lipstick in "MAC red" and Mac Lip pencil in "redd" with a touch of MAC Dazzleglass creme in "Do it up", and I think it's the perfect shade for a wide range of skin tones and to get that fresh "pin-up-y" look!
If you have chapped lips (and right now it's the middle of a blizzard here in NYC so many of us might!) a good way to prep your lips and get rid of any flakiness is to brush them, yes brush them with a toothbrush! Not to hard but just enough to bascially exfoliate your lips.
Apply your primer/foundation/concealer. If you are putting on foundation anyways it's easy just to cover your lips as well, and what this does is give a dry base to prevent cracking in the color
Next line your lip with a red liner to define your lips edge and also to help prevent the color from bleeding
Apply lipstick, and you can do this with a brush or from the tube. A brush will layer on the color whereas straight from the tube will go on thicker.
Blot between your lips with tissue, and run your finger between your lips like a lollipop (this takes out any lipstick that might've gotten on your teeth!)
I usually go back and add more color if blotting took too much off, and also a dab of gloss to the pout to accentuate
Another neat trick I picked up is to add a highlighter like Benefit's HighBeam to the outside corner of your mouth, this emphasizes the sharp corners you've drawn in
Now get ready to break some hearts!

I think people are surprised to find out that I do the hair and makeup for our shoots, but I'm too much of a perfectionist to keep my hands off!! I've spent years tackling my own persian mane, and also getting friends and roomates to sit still for me to do makeup has been a much loved past-time. I've had to lend a hand to fix or touch up hair on shoots in the past, and also am no stranger to the fashion show backstage, and along the way I have picked up the tricks of the trade and developed my own technique for that perfect sexy tousled just slept in look.
To start you will need:
Blow Dryer
Strong Hold Hairspray
Large Barrel Curling Iron (1 1/2 to 2" should do it!)
Basic Hair clips (bobby pins will work if you're in a pinch but are harder to handle and can leave a crease)
Large Velcro Rollers
Shine Spray/Serum
-You want to start with semi-straight hair
*do not use a flattening iron or you'll never get the volume back in!!** so blow dry your hair straight and dry or let it air dry
-Next you're going to section your hair off into 3 parts
1. The hair around your neck below your ears
2. The hair between your ear's and the crown of your head
3. The crown (by the crown I mean just where a crown would sit on your head, simple right?)
- Pin the hair above your ears up so you have room to move, and moving around your head start curling your hair by wrapping sections around the curling iron
TIP **To remove frizz run the curling iron along your hair from root to tip like a straightening iron before wrapping
**For fine or super straight hair spray the hairspray on your hands and run over each section
-You know when to release the hair from the iron when you touch it and it feels hot, not warm (this may singe your fingers a little depending on the temp your iron goes up to, but it's worth the end result and also keeps you from over-heating your hair!)
-When you release the curl, don't let it fall open! Keep the curl wrapped as it was around the barrel and pin it to the scalp like in the picture. This may take some practice, but once you get the hang of it you can work through sections rather quickly.
-For the hair on the crown I like to "smooth curl" the hair, and then roll it over BIG velcro curlers. Running the curling iron over it heats it up so it takes the shape of the velcro roller better, and the velcro keeps itself in place without any pins that could cause lines.
- At this point it's important to let your hair SIT & COOL, if you don't the curls will fall out much faster, once the hair cools the shape gets set in and you'll have springy bouncy curls! So do your makeup, read a magazine, relax until your hair gets cool
-Remove the pinned curls and rollers, and at this point you can spritz with shine serum or apply a small amount of a liquid shine serum to your hands. Run your hands through the curls, breaking them up and evenly distributing the shine which returns luster that hairspray can take away
-Finally you may want to recurl the front of your hair from your crown to blend in and define depending on your hair's length you may or may not need to.
VOILA!
(To get Jaime's look here, take the hair at the front of your crown and smooth back and push forward until you get a "pouf", anchor with two criss-crossed bobby pins at your crown.)
Now you too can be ready for your moment in the spotlight, and no matter who your partner is they will be sure to want to reach out and touch your seriously sexy locks!
