by

Fashion Pulse Daily is thrilled to announce that we got featured on Fast Company!

Do Fashion Week Like An Industry Insider

“Even among those with seats at the top four fashion weeks, scoring one-on-one chats with designers, backstage access, and how-to tips from beauty pros styling the models are relative rarities reserved for a select few. Luckily for those craving the insider’s-eye view of the action, there’s a wealth of original content debuting this week and next with that very goal in mind.

Fashion advice, street style, and behind-the-scenes Fashion Week coverage are among the programming on tap this week and next on newly launched Style Coalition TV, a web video series hosted by fashion bloggers Dianna Baros of The Budget Babe, Julia Dinardo of Fashion Pulse Daily, and others from the Style Coalition’s member network.”

by

[Runway images via Style.com]
The Show: BCBGMAXAZRIA
The Theme: The New Femme Fatale
The Color Palette: Creams, blacks, vibrant peach
Best/Collection’s Signature Standout Look: Actual harnesses reigned supreme on the runway; no more where they just a pattern, but where actual, 3-D pieces found on the garments. The combination of filmy, transparent layers with the hardness of the harnesses was the mastery of the collection, although some wonderful pleating and prints also surfaced throughout.
Backstage Beauty: BCBGMAXAZRIA
The Theme: Kate Moss
The Keys: Laurent Phillipon for Bumble & Bumble, Val Garland for Temptu, Jan Arnold for CND
The Color Palette: Dark smokey eyes (sexy, late-night girl with lived-in makeup), a “virgin” nail (Pink Lily polish and Air Dry top coat), and volumized, fussed with hair.
The Execution: Manageable! A clean nail, smokey eye (or best if you do it the night before, and then sleep on it, and blow-dried, rollered, spritzed, and imperfect tresses.

FPD’s Fashion’s Night Out 2012 Report

by

So what did you do for Fashion’s Night Out? Hopefully one of our suggestions! Even though it started in NYC, cities across the globe partook in the phenomenon, and we hope everyone had a blast, shopped, laughed, and danced (we sure did!).

Some of the Fashion Pulse Daily team’s stops included:

Bloomingdale’s: The store was a buzz of activity with every step! We checked out Lady Gaga’s new fragrance (with a moving display), Fame, but spent some time at the Clinique Counter with Teen Vogue’s Eva Chen, where complimentary makeovers to match one’s outfit were going down (and candy was also being passed out!!).

New York & Company: With the Sorrelli gals, FPD hung out at New York & Company while Stacy London styled and met with fans, while we danced to the sweet tunes and tried on the new arrivals, including the amazing Crosby Street City Double Stretch & Faux Leather Jacket and Colorblock NY Trench.

Bloggers Night Out at Arrojo Salon: Hair styling and braiding, designer fashions, nail polishes by Julep and amazing stud earrings from Sorrelli — what’s not to love?

Sigerson Morrison: FPD helped Sigerson Morrison celebrate her 21st birthday complete with balloons, sparklers, chocolate covered bananas and amazing 90s jams. Not to mention shoes any girl would die for…we cant wait to get our hands on those Bachelor suede pumps!

Creatures of Comfort: We just couldn’t get enough of Creatures of Comfort!  Peligroso and Perrier cocktails, nail art and amazing new collections – it doesn’t get much better than that!

BLK DNM: BLK DNM already has one of the best ad campaigns we’ve seen in a while. Combine that with great music by Twin Shadows and you have the perfect storm. As unbelievable as everything was, we spent the entire evening obsessing over their new Leather Jacket 8 in Black Calfskin…
