Burberry Prorsum, Zac Posen, ImaxtreeFrom Burberry Prorsum to Zac Posen, 2012 pre-fall collections were packed with models sporting strong, full eyebrows. Using an eyebrow pencil can be daunting, and can wind up giving harsh, unnatural results. Instead, try using an angled brush and eyebrow powder to fill, shape, and accentuate your brows. We’ve broken the process down for you in 3 easy steps so you can have posh, powerful brows in the bat of an eye (literally).1. Wipe off your brows with a cotton ball to remove any traces of make-up or oil.

Dip an eyebrow powder brush, like the one above from Sephora into an eyebrow powder and gently tap it on a flat surface to remove any excess powder (splotchy brows are a no-go). When picking a powder, try to find one that is a shade lighter than your natural brow color if you have dark hair or a shade darker if you have fair hair. Alternatively, use a trio like the one below, which gives you the option of blending a few shades for a customized look.

If you’re worried about going overboard, focus on only applying the powder to the hair of your eyebrows, instead of your skin, a technique that will lighten up your brush hand even more. Unsure where to stop? Holding your brush vertically in front of your face so that it just touches the edge of your nose will show you where your brow should start. Hold your brush at an angle so that it starts at your nose and ends the tips of your eyelashes will show you where your brows should stop. Always remember, you’re shading in your natural brows, not drawing new ones on. Powder v. Pencils There are many reasons to go with a powder instead of a pencil when going bold with your brows. For one thing, it’s much less time consuming, and many powders come with a wax built in for extra hold, eliminating an extra grooming step. Powders also tend to look much more natural, and are easier to blend.

Photo: April, MayDiane Sitbon was only a child when she first realized just how cool a leather jacket could be. “When I was nine or 10, my mother dressed me like a ‘little bourgeoisie’ with smock dresses, hair bands, and velvet coats. I was not happy in these outfits—I wanted to wear flight leather jackets and jeans to school,” remembers the French designer. “I always told myself that when I grew up, I would wear whatever I wanted.” Today, Sitbon doesn’t just get to wear whatever she wants, but she also gets to design whatever she wants. Since 2005 she’s helmed April, May, a Parisian label that manages to be both extremely feminine and effortlessly sexy. While her clothes capture French insouciance—think jersey dresses with cut-out necklines, collar-less blazers, and geometric-print leather jackets that any woman would want in her wardrobe—they’ve not had much face time in the US; after briefly launching in America in the mid-aughts, the recession had April, May focusing on Europe. Their fall 2011 collection marks their triumphant return. For spring, Sitbon’s design inspiration comes from her travels. “My woman has moved from Paris to Santa Fe and Austin. She has gone on a road trip and is still wearing leather and sexy hot pants and feminine dresses and would wear boots everywhere,” explains the designer. While the collection includes sequined band jackets and tuxedo pants, Sitbon asserts that she’s not jumping on the menswear-as-womenswear trend just yet. “I wouldn’t say [the collection] is less feminine, I would say feminine in a different way,” she notes. That Sitbon, an Esmod and Central St. Martins graduate, understands what real women want may come from her years of experience at that other ultra-feminine French label, Paul & Joe. “It’s where I learned everything about running a business and trying to balance design with commercial appeal without compromising my ideas,” says Sitbon, who notes that in the years between leaving Paul & Joe and starting April, May she also freelanced for John Galliano and ran her own accessories line. If her most recent collection is any indicator, Sitbon has done a good job of sticking to her core principals, which she seems to have established as a 10-year-old yearning for a not-so-stuffy jacket. The French designer admits as much: “It’s very hard for me to decide on [a favorite April, May] piece, as I absolutely love everything…but the leather is driving me nuts!”
Amber.Stardoll- Alesha Dixon and Solange Knowles both glows in the same mustard asymmetric Acne dress! Both ladies opted for big glam hair, but Alesha kept it neutral in nude patent heels and nude nails while Solange had tropical orange nails compaired with a beutiful ring. Who do you think wore it the best?

- Glee-fans listen up! Yesterday afternoon we spotted Glee-star Lea Michele Sarfati (Rachel) with an engagement ring on her left finger after filming a scene with her newly cast two of Glee. So, we guess we all know Rachels answer to Finn's proposal? Well, let's just hope that this is not some trick to get attention to the show and that she is screwing with us all! (perezhilton)

You could probably guess the star’s last name just by glancing at her face—it’s Kaia Gerber, the 10-year-old daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. In a press release, Donatella said, “Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift. The camera really, really loves her…It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother’s footsteps!” We could just hug the hairstylist for giving her that 80s supermodel hair.

- It's time for a fashion battle! This time we saw double of this flowery dress on both British model, Amy Childs, and Duchess, Kate Middleton. Amy wore it simply with her red curls while Kate went a bit more proper with black stockings, a belt and a black jacket. So, who wore it best?

- Rachel Zoe was spotted shopping in Beverly Hills, carrying her her two great loves: her baby boy Skyler and her thigh high Brian Atwood boots - which she helped design. Let's push aside the rule 'never wear anything twice', if we had those boots we'd wear them to bed!
