Pretty Bows

Bows of all sizes are making a trend and unlike Eva Longoria's bow dress at the Emmy's, I love this stylish Zac Posen Oversized Bow Dress (on sale for $1,650 at Net-a-Porter) from Zac's Spring 08 Collection.

I've also become obsessed with the Bravo TV show, The Rachel Zoe Project where she sports that classic vintage bow top.

Here are some stylish looks with bows:

DKNY Plaid Bracelet Sleeve Dress with Bow ($225 at Shopbop)

DKNY 3/4 Sleeve Blouse with Bow ($160 at Shopbop)

Mint Jodi Arnold Zelda Bow Top ($297 at Shopbop)

Belfries Tie-Neck ($268 at Anthropologie)

Damask Rose Blouse ($128 at Anthropologie)

Mercurial Mary-Janes ($128 at Anthropologie)

Neutral Lips with NARS

I love the look of a nude lip but never really though I could wear it well. I'll always need a hint of color. That's until I discovered NARS Sheer Lipstick in Masai and NARS Lip Gloss in Supervixen. (The actual colors are shown below the lipstick and lip gloss tubes above.) I mix them together and the golden beige sparkly tones of the lip gloss totally enhance the sheer rose quartz shade of lipstick. These two beauty products will be my makeup staples for the rest of fall for sure. Give it a try!

Fashion Inside Out by Daniel Vosovic - Ask Daniel Your Fashion Questions

I'll be interviewing former Project Runway contestant and fashion designer Daniel Vosovic later this month on the Craftzine.com about his new book Fashion Inside Out: Daniel V's Guide to How Style Happens from Inspiration to Runway and Beyond. The book is a comprehensive guide on how to create fashion -- from inspiration and design, to the technical process of pattern-making and sewing, and finally selling your work to a client and taking it down the runway. Interspersed in the book are Q&A's from industry professionals too! There's never been such a book like this before so I'm really excited that it will be out soon.

He's agreed to take questions from readers so go to the post on Craftzine and add your question by Monday, October 6th at Noon PST.
