Designer Austin Sherbanenko used this season’s latest collection as a platform to condemn our dirty industrial world. The Odyn Vovk S/S 2010 line of tough leather jackets, vests, and exaggerated hooded trenches were drenched in black and cemented gray as a nod to our world’s environmental demolition. Also seen through the collection is Odyn Vovk’s signature wolf head that Sherbanenko incorporates into his line as symbolism to the strength, power of self and courage that his collection possesses.

It was day seven of fashion week, and I was running on very little sleep, lots of espresso, and tons of stress, however Altjana Banja of Dex New York managed to work her artistry and make me look absolutely stunning with both hair and makeup. She had done her magic on me before for the Style Coalition’s Don’t Shop photo and video shoot, which got a response from my boyfriend that I looked absolutely amazing, and he hates when I wear makeup. Some stylists and makup artists from Dex New York were kindly offering their services at The Daily Suite at AKA Hotel, using the Dex Cosmetics line of mineral makeup, and I can’t tell you how glad I was to have stopped by and ran into Altjana! Below are some close-ups of her work; she also works freelance so if you love what she did for me (how could you not?) check out her site, AltjanaStyle.com to inquire about availability and rates. Thanks again Altjana!

A little known secret: I have a thing for owls. I don’t know what it is. I just love owls. It’s not to the point where I know anything about them. I just like looking at them. I think it’s their face. Owls give great face.
So it should come as no surprise that September’s Handbag of the Month is Kate Spade’s Sherwood Ida handbag. Okay, so maybe it’s a bit off-beat to wear an owl on your arm. But fashion can’t be completely serious. I have a great sense of humor, and I like to use fashion to express it. This owl handbag is campy, light-hearted and fun. Only a brave woman with the ability to laugh and enjoy life could pull this off. That’s what I love about designer Kate Spade. While most of her bags are very clean and classy, she always has a few that have a cheeky appeal to them. And this boho-chic, pieced suede handbag named for the mythical forest of Robin Hood is no exception.
