Made in New York was a spotlight in the fashion retail world on September 17th launched by Caroline Rodehau Publisher and team at New York Girl Style, one of our favorites top brands participated in the campaign: Betsey Johnson stores in Manhattan. The ones were providing a special discount to the Made in New York customers, while they enjoyed the trendy edgy vibe of Betsey Johnson popular Fall 2009 Collection. The customers were excited and the environment was buzzing with savvy shoppers.

Some people may think that she is a total eccentric; others may well consider that she’s one of the most original designers out there. The truth is, that Betsey Johnson has been one of the most talked-about and remarkable designers out there for three long decades now.

With a low-profiled start in the sixties, the young designer member of Andy Warhol’s studio called The Factor; decided to move to Mexico, and rented a small apartment in New York City as she needed an operational spot. She always explains that her first initiative was to paint the condo in a very minimalist white color. But then, she realized that she needed her family photos, antiques (as she is a devotee), endless decorations and pink walls in order to feel comfortable and cheerful. Since then, the inspiration started to grow greater.

The platinum fanciful blonde’s designs are hard-edged, punk/rock/kitsch-influenced, yet super feminine and extravagant. Garments which have been the most fun, colorful and out of this word since the sixties.
She is a breast cancer survivor (and matter supporter) and also a former ballerina, so Betsy knows with perfection how the woman body fits clothes, and what female public wants. Always answering to customer’s needs and respecting her own outrageous essence, through the years, she built an empire in woman’s apparel which is one of the trendiest and most powerful in our time.

Her last Spring/Summer 2010 RTW collection, showed a new visual direction for the brand. Establishing a never-seen side of the designer, the line included very elegant, neat and sophisticated pieces with wonderful lines and silhouettes. Fabulous girlie party dresses, great shoes, few liberty-flowered patterns, tulle, and beautiful pink, blue and white accents, made a great mix… Demonstrating, once more, she is the rocking-peculiar runway queen, just very…Betsey!

Summer 2007 trend makeup can be summed up by two words: translucent color. Eyeshadow is strong and highly pigmented but translucent; reminiscent of a stained glass window. Violet, green, and most notably orange are the colors of the season for the eyes. Lips are very glossy with a sheer tint of color. Pink and all shades of peach and corals keep this summer makeup from looking dull. Skin is slightly dewy and natural, with a bronzed (faux!) glow.
The overall appearance of summer 2007 makeup is a pop of bright color on the eyes with shiny, tinted lips to compliment a casually glowing skin. Very fresh!

Only one minute? Try a brighter blush! A peachy or pinky blush will brighten your entire face, emphasize your eyes and draw attention away from dark circles. Sounds more like a one minute miracle! Try Nars Blush in Organsm or Mac Powder Blush in Dollymix.

With the summer heat and fun ahead, you’re tempted to leave the house without any makeup….don’t! With all the fast and easy options, there are no more excuses for not looking your best! Here’s a quick look that is both polished and quick. Swipe on a light, neutral shade of eyeshadow over your entire lid, from lashline to your eyebrow. (Try Cassia by Stila) Line into your lashline with a waterproof pencil. Colored liner is more forgiving in a hurry, use Make Up For Ever in Bronze Green. It is flattering for all eye colors! Coat on that mascara now…use your favorite! Now a light dusting of powder foundation. (Hands down try Studio Fix by Mac Cosmetics.) With a large brush, highlight your cheeks with bronzer. A nice inexpensive one is by Rimmel. Finish it all with a shiny, peachy lip. Lancome Juicy Gelee Orange Burst looks bright but goes on your lips perfectly.
So there you have it! In just a few minutes, you can look put together and chic in the summer.
