Stella McCartney :Paris McCartney’s collection provided a complete wardrobe for women who connect with her brand of sophisticated, sleek, easy, wearable fashionable pieces – easily worn from day to night. Viktor & Rolf :Paris Talk about a literal interpretation, Viktor & Rolf’s Fall 2009 collection looked straight out of a Greco-Roman sculpture exhibit.

Giambattista Valli :Paris The two main themes of the collection were ankle length bell shaped skirts, and peacock feathers. Gorgeous double-faced coats, high-waisted pants and draped dresses made up the rest of the collection. Valentino :Paris Dresses in acid yellow, emerald green, turquoise, wine red, and black (Fall 2009’s color of choice) were polished and interestingly cut with twists, folds and pleats. Hermes :Paris Hermes collection left fashionistas flying high, complete with goggles, flying caps and loads or fur trims. There were fur-collared crocodile bombers and leather skirt suits mixed with an amazing array of trenches and tailored trousers. Louis Vuitton :Paris The Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 show gave us a superb color palette with lots of pompoms, ruffles, bows, Playboy bunny ears and ruching. Puffy skirts, delicate lace blouses and knit cardigans were all presented to complete this gorgeous collection.

Dsquared :Milan The Dsquared² models strutted down the catwalk clutching Starbucks venti lattes and BlackBerry phones, wearing preppy shirts and boyfriend jeans topped off with a washed leather jacket and a trucker hat. Nearly every look was accessorized with caps, sunglasses and a little bling. DKNY :New York A modern girl on the go can appreciate this collection. It was modern, polished and pulled together with pencil skirts, boxy coats and clashing patterns that kept things from looking too mature or too vintage

Baby Phat :New York For Baby Phat Fall 2009, Kimora Lee Simmons' muse was the First Lady. The collection was soft, pretty and classic, with a little glamour and a little glitter. Positively lady-like Tracy Reese :New York Tracy Reese worked a schoolgirl vibe for Fall, adding nerdy specs, knit caps, and knee socks to most of her looks. Her dresses could be styled just as easily for a college campus as for a luxury resort. Marc Jacobs :New York He worked his way through little silver-and-black A-line shifts; party dresses in metallic leathers and floral brocades with flaring, full skirts and monster shoulders; velvet bustier tops and high-waisted over-dyed jeans; and Crayola-bright jackets, capes, and hooded coats. Diesel Black Gold :New York The collection took intriguing elements of the heyday of jazz and gave them the Diesel treatment with a contemporary rock and roll feel

Zac Posen :New York The designer's 40’s inspired collection contained gorgeous Victorian gowns, jackets, suits in warm and nude shades, and fabrics from lace, silk, satin and sequins. Nanette Lepore :New York Nanette Lepore is known for creating ultra feminine pieces and her Fall 2009 collection was no different. In her runway show, it was obvious to see the touches of vintage influences in the fabrics, silhouettes and color choices. But Lepore managed to put a modern glamorous spin on it all. Oscar de la Renta :New York This season’s collection followed along with so many of the other collections of the season, lots of dark metallic colors, animal prints, and even hobo bags which are the it item of the Spring season. Marc by Marc Jacobs :New York Taking a spin off your thrift shop favorites, this collection does well in combining a vintage technique into contemporary designs, allowing for an endless amount of stylish combinations.

Vivienne Westwood :Paris Using draping, folding and ruching, the British designer sent out shirt dresses, traveling capes and cowl neckline jackets that were quite brave and refreshing. Issey Miyake :Paris The Issey Miyake show was a homage to Japanese culture and a perfect expression of fashion in motion.

Gucci :Milan Keeping up with the 80’s, Gucci's latest collection in Milan was full of glitter and glamour yet strong - showcasing the independent woman. Isaac Mizrahi :New York What’s there not to like about a collection entitled, 'Smile: Fall 2009’?

Red Dress Collection:New York Celebrities worked their magic at the Heart Truth Red Dress Collection Fall 2009 fashion show. Wearing all different designer dresses, celebs took the stage to raise awareness about heart disease and how important is it for women (and men) to protect their hearts Lacoste :New York Lacoste delivered a retail-ready collection rather than fashion-forward. It was about relaxed elegance with chic and smooth knits and lots of layering. Colors to pick up on were grey, yellow, white, and indigo blue. Diane Von Furstenberg: New York The best word to describe this collection: "funky." The designer sent out a melting pot's worth of fabrics. It was a thick, heavy, comfy look, with lots of prints and lots of textures. Barbie's 50th Anniversary Show: New York Barbie's first-ever runway show featured looks created by 50 American designers, and the world’s top models brought the doll to life. The collection celebrated the past, present and future of fashion, with Barbie as the muse. Pure fun.

~Some Common Foot Complaints & How To Treat Them On Your Own . . .Most of these common foot complaints are easy to treat on your own however Extreme cases Should be dealt with by a Podiatrist!! Dry Feet & Brittle Nails: These can be caused by a diet deficient in fat and certain vitamins. To get healthy feet, "add one or two tablespoons of organic, cold-pressed flaxseed oil to your diet every day," suggests aesthetician Stephanie Tourles, author of Natural Foot Care (Storey Books, 1998). Other vital nutrients are vitamins E (found in whole grains and green leafy vegetables) and C (red peppers, citrus fruits), biotin (a form of vitamin [B.sub.6] found in molasses and milk) and silica (unrefined grains, cereals, root vegetables). To spottreat brittle nails, caused by frequent use of polish and polish removers, rub some olive or vitamin E oil into them twice a day Ingrown Toenails: Too short nails can become painfully imbedded in the soft tissue of your toe. This can also happen if you wear too-tight shoes or rip your nails off without cutting them--a bad habit that leaves jagged edges digging into your nail groove and possibly infecting it. Avoid this by regularly trimming your toenails straight across with clippers ~Yellow Nails: If you wear dark polish regularly, you could develop stained nails. Skip the polish for a month and rub lemon juice onto them. Long, yellowish streaks may indicate onychomycosis, a fungal infection caused by microorganisms lurking in locker rooms, on shoes and clothes. Untreated, onychomycosis can cause nails to thicken, become brittle and flaky and separate from the nail bed. You must treat this with a topical or oral antifungal medication prescribed by a podiatrist. Plantar Warts: These contagious growths appear on the bottoms of your feet and are caused by a virus. You get them from walking barefoot in warm, moist environments like locker rooms, which is why you should always wear a pair of thongs in there. You can't treat plantar warts yourself; your doctor has to freeze them off or remove them with a laser or scalpel. Calluses: These hard patches of skin that build up on soles and heels are caused by ill-fitting shoes and irregular foot care. For heavy calluses, Levine advises making a paste from 1 cup of kosher salt, 8 tablespoons of mineral oil, 1/2 cup of Epsom salt and 1 tablespoon of baking soda, and applying it to your calluses. Then put your feet into two separate plastic bags and wrap in a warm towel. Sit still for 10 minutes, unwrap the towel and plastic and use a pumice stone to slough off dead skin. Corns: Untreated calluses can turn into even more painful corns. You treat these with special round or oval felt or moleskin corn pads available at your local drugstore. Bunions: These inflammations of the joint of the big toe can be painful and unsightly, looking like big lumps. Switching to shoes that fit correctly (i.e., that aren't tight) may help relieve the pain and pressure on your big toe. But if the pain doesn't subside, your podiatrist may have to remove the bunion surgically. Heel Cracks: Neglecting to regularly moisturize your feet can lead to splits in the skin called heel fissures. To treat, apply moisturizer to your feet under a pair of socks every day after you shower or before you get into bed. If your fissures are painful and bright red, they're probably inflamed or infected, and you should see a podiatrist or dermatologist. |

~Tools of the Trade "To perform a home pedicure, you need the right instruments. Quality clippers, exfoliators and cuticle pushers are three of them, all well worth the investment. Not only can you use them at home, but you can bring them to the salon if you elect for professional treatment--this will help prevent bacterial infections that can develop when professionals use poorly sanitized tools. Here's everything that you will need. ~An electric bubbling foot bath (optional). ~A toenail brush to clean both the tops and undersides of the nails, as well as the feet. ~An abrasive pedicure file (wand exfoliator) or pumice stone to get rid of dry, flaky skin. ~A metal cuticle pusher or wooden "orange" stick, a round stick about four inches long with a slanted tip for cleaning under the nails and around the cuticles. ~A massaging foot roller (optional). ~Toenail clippers made to cut thick, hard nails without tearing them. ~Fine-grained nail files or emery boards for shaping and smoothing nails. ~Foam toe dividers (or cotton balls) to separate toes when applying base, polish and top coats to prevent smudging. ~A nail buffer to shine the tops of nails before you polish them or to give bare ones a natural, healthy look. Once you have the right tools, set aside about an hour to get your feet and toes worthy of being in the limelight. 1- Soak It Up The first thing you should do is soak your feet in warm (not hot) water in your bathtub, a small foot tub or foot bath for five to 10 minutes. "Add a few drops of essential oils like rosemary and peppermint to invigorate your feet during an early morning pedicure, or add drops of lavender or rose to help relax them after a long day," suggests aesthetician Stephanie Tourles, author of Natural Foot Care (Storey Books, 1998). A few drops of tea tree oil or clove oil in your foot bath can also help treat fungal infections, she says, and a couple of drops of pine, tea tree, lemongrass or eucalyptus oils can banish odors. Then, as your feet are soaking, use a toenail brush to clean your nails and feet. 2 -Scrub-a-Dub-Dub Once the warm water has softened the skin on your feet, gently scrub the bottoms--concentrating on the heels--with an exfoliating scrub and pumice stone or abrasive pedicure file. You can also use a natural oatmeal-based exfoliator, suggests Tourles. Simply mix 1/4 cup of oatmeal with 1/8 cup of water until it is the consistency of a grainy paste, then gently rub it all over your feet in small circular motions. Be careful not to exfoliate too much of the outer skin away. This thick layer acts as the body's protection--which is why many podiatrists advise against using a callus razor (a special device used for shaving dry skin from the feet). 3- Cuticle Control Dry your feet, making sure to get between the toes, an area that can become a breeding ground for bacteria and cause infection if not dried properly. Then massage a cuticle cream into the cuticles, or use almond, avocado or olive oil around the base of your toenails. Gently push back the cuticles with an orange stick, but don't cut them since they provide protection between your nail and nail bed, the whole piece of skin that the nail is attached to. It runs from the bottom of the white tip of the nail to the base of the cuticle. (You can also take the orange stick and gently run it along the undersides of your toenails to clean them.) Finally, place a tiny drop of one of the cuticle oils onto each nail, and buff them to increase their strength and shine. 4 -Rubbing It In Using small, circular motions, massage your feet and ankles with a moisturizer mixed with a touch of your favorite essential oil (like rosemary, peppermint or eucalyptus), or just massage a little coconut, olive or avocado oil mixed with essential oils into your feet. If you want, you can splurge on a footsie roller (see "Editors' Picks," p. 98) and give yourself a home foot massage. (A rolling pin will also do the job.) Roll each foot over the device for about five minutes, and then slip on a pair of cotton socks for about 15 minutes to help your feet absorb the moisturizer. 5 -Short and Sweet It's much easier to cut thick toenails after moisturizing (which is why this step comes now). Cut them with a straightedge toenail clipper, leaving the nail length closer to the tips of your toes than to the nail bed. (If you cut them too short, they're more likely to grow into the skin, causing painful ingrown toenails.) Then file and shape your nails, making sure to file them in one direction. Sawing back and forth will weaken nails, causing them to split or break. 6 -Pre-Polish Prep Clean the oil and debris from both the tops of your nails and beneath them with a piece of cotton wrapped around an orange stick that you dip into a non-ace-tone nail polish remover (it will be stated on the label). Be sure to separate your toes with cotton balls or foam toe separators to keep them from rubbing against one another and smudging the polish. 7 Polished to Perfection Once you've moisturized, filed and cleaned your toenails, apply a clear base coat of polish--this will help your pedicure last longer. Then apply two coats of color and finish with a top coat, which will help set the polish. For natural-looking toenails, give them a French pedicure. First buff them to a nice luster, then use a white nail pencil (available at any drugstore) to paint a white stripe over the top of the nail tips and finally paint a pale pink polish on the surface. No matter what type you use, polish takes at least 15 minutes to dry. Use the time to put your feet up and relax. 8 -Tool Check Clean your instruments with soap and water each time you use them so your nails don't get infected. Then twice a month you should sterilize them by rinsing them with 90 percent isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Store your tools in a clean plastic container or a zip-lock bag. A full pedicure takes about 70 minutes: 50 minutes to prep the feet and apply polish and 20 minutes to dry. If you don't have the time, simply wash your feet while you're in the shower and give them a quick rub with a pumice stone or foot file. Then, after you dry off, slather your toes and nails with a moisturizer. Do this at least once a week so your skin doesn't become flaky." |
