Best in Fashion at the 2010 Oscars!

Award season finally came to a close last night! No other award show can compare to the drama that is brought at the Oscars. This year in particular most of the looks were just incredible! SJP, Cameron Diaz, and Nicole Richie were just some of our favorites.

Sandra Bullock looked every bit of the 1920s siren, with a popping pink lip, wearing a sleek beaded Marchesa.

Wedding Wednesday: Dress Hunting in the Digital Age

intro_imageWe hear that finding the perfect wedding dress can be a little like the proverbial needle in a haystack. Only in this version of the fable, the needle will cost thousands of dollars when you do finally find it! Yay!

All joking aside, if you’re at a loss and need some help narrowing down your dress options, try the main_imageknot’s interactive photo dress search. Whether your perfect dress is long-sleeved, short-sleeved, or no-sleeved, you can filter through a host of dress options to find the one that calls your name.

Search by designer, or by silhouette, or neckline - or the all-important price range. It’s a little idea, but it’s an overdue one!

Best of Fall: Top Model Falls of Fall 2010 NY Fashion Week

Today marks the end of the craziness that is New York Fashion Week.  In lieu of all the panic, stress, hustle and bustle,  lack of sufficient sleep and adequate meals, we’d like to let out a huge sigh of relief. It’s finally over!  To ease off the seriousness, and rid ourselves of the not so friendly scowls, we dissected the top two model falls to occur this season. Brit model Agyness Deyn and her Parisian cohort, Mathilde Frachon took a pair of ugly spills down the runway.
59625574Mathilde’s slip-up is a head-scratcher, but takes home the gold in our race of reverse gravity defying stumbles. We can’t understand how on earth she fell with all the elements on her side. Wearing two-inch kitten heels, a simple dress, no weird contraptions, glasses, or funky hair styles blocking her view. Ouch! Maybe it’s all due to some freaky newcomers curse.

Coming in second to claim the silver medal is Agyness Deyn who fell not once but twice! We credit Agyness’ fall to those dangerous 7-inch Burberry sandals she had to wear. Can you imagine losing your balance tumbling six feet on to a cold runway. Double ouch!

After her final recovery she made the wise choice to take off her dangerous stilettos and walked the rest of the way bare foot. Smart girl.

Did we miss anyone? Who deserves the bronze medal?

Australian Model, Shanina, Talks about Pilates, Zits and Being Naughty

New York Fashion Week Model Moment: Shanina, an Australian model from the Iodice Fall 2010 presentation, takes a breather with Spa Week Daily.

Spa Week Daily: What time did you start today?

Shanina: I started at 10:30 AM for hair and makeup. At the moment it was very busy for all models, of course it’s fashion week so I’ve had a lot of castings and running around with fittings to go to and my day doesn’t end after this actually.

SWD:What did you eat this morning?

Shanina: I’m a little naughty. I didn’t eat this morning. I had water. When I’m home and I have time after this I need to eat because it’s important to keep your energy up.

SWD: Is there a certain time of night that you stop eating on a normal basis?

Shanina: For myself I’m a bit of health freak. Usually after 4 o’clock when it slows down and its not good to have a lot of heavy stuff after that time. Probably the latest would be about 8 and don’t eat two hours before you go to bed.

SWD: Do you work out often? Do yoga?

Shanina: I like to do Pilates. I don’t like yoga. I don’t know why. I like Pilates because of the core work and I jump rope for a half and hour when I can.

SWD: How many times a day do you wash your face?

Shanina: I think it’s always important to take your makeup off. After shows you should always try to take your makeup off just to air your skin out. At night I always wash off my makeup and cleanse, tone and moisturize. At the moment in the winter it’s very important to moisturize your face.

SWD: Do you ever get zits?

Shanina: Everyone get zits. All models get them. There are certain times when you do get them, but you can always look after your skin with a lot of water. It really keeps your skin looking healthy and fresh.

SWD: When was the last time you’ve been to a spa?

Shanina: I’ve never been to a spa actually. I’ve never had a facial done before. I have all these products at home that I use. (Never?? That’s what WE call naughty!)

SWD: When was the last time you took a relaxing bubble bath?

Shanina: I have a really big bath at home but I never use it. I like really hot showers and I use products to exfoliate my body. That’s when I’m really relaxed. It’s like my pampering day.
