Naeem Khan‘s spring 2018 bridal collection is everything you could ask the designer for, with a little bit extra thrown in for good measure. The luxurious looks and incredible embellishments were everything ” top to bottom the styling was absolutely incredible.

Backstage, Naeem Khan explained the aesthetic, saying: “It’s about luxury. This woman really wants the best, and these brides come from all across the world, from Saudi Arabia to Israel to Santo Domingo, Peru to North America. It’s the cr‚Äö√†√∂¬¨√Üme de la cr‚Äö√†√∂¬¨√Üme,’ and the sentiment is evident in every inch of every look. A Naeem Khan gown is distinctive, gorgeous, romantic and dreamy, always.

The Naeem Khan bridal spring 2018 collection is well-rounded offering a lot of different options for every preferred aesthetic and silhouette. The modern take on flapper style made a very big impression on the runway for this collection and it was breathtakingly beautiful.

There were plenty of gown options, but the drop-waist gown with ostrich feathered skirt worked stunningly with the embellished bodice is definitely for the bride with a sultrier and more adventurous look.

My personal favorite, however, was the glittering, shimmering jumpsuit that was completely covered in caviar beading in a detailed and organized fashion. The jumpsuit was stunning and unbelievably beautiful. Perhaps the bride wants a laid-back wedding but still wants to stand out and certainly sparkle. She can do that in this pantsuit. Perhaps it would be the reception outfit, but the point is the option was beautiful.

To explain how he views his clientele, Naeem Khan said: “The idea is, Who is this woman who wears my clothes? She’s fashion-conscious, she travels, she obviously wants multiple wares. She wants to get married in an important dress, and then she wants to change for the rest of the evening.’

There are classic options in the collection as well, but the inclusion of such classics like the A-line gown, the fluttering sleeves, the veils and the stunning train will have plenty of appeal. The best touches of the collection though ” as usual with a Naeem Khan collection ” is in the details. The lace and beading line up perfectly symmetrically to flatter the figure. The well placed ruffles add volume and movement but not unflattering bulk.

The movement in each option is just right for the style, there is nothing jarring or out of place, everything just looks right. What else could a bride want but to know that she can depend on her dress to look and feel beautiful on, to be beautiful in photos and to wow everyone who lays eyes on her?

Vera Wang is synonymous with incredible bridal wear, many brides dream of Vera Wang even before they are engaged. This season, the Vera Wang bridal spring 2018 collection is edgy and different, just another evolution of fashion, this time for brides and not the least bit regrettable apparently.

Some of the looks are a severe push away from the expectations of wedding gowns and bridal wear, though if a designer is going to push your aesthetic on your big day, who better than Vera Wang? We know she takes her clienteles desires and preferences to task, pushing them to be more while still providing a wearable option that elevates how you look on your special day. That is what every bride wants ” to look memorable and that is a goal easily achieved with a Vera Wang bridal option.

Vera Wang described her intentions and the desire to create a stunning fusion between ready-to-wear clothes and bridal options. She said: “I’ve wanted that, I’ve wanted that forever, but we have 24 stores globally now with very different clients. Because of that, we really have to satisfy a lot of needs and they aren’t purely inspirational or artistic. Each culture seems to have a different kind of bride.’

Though she appears to have taken the tastes of her variety of clientele to heart, she is also clearly intent on pushing the envelope ” something Vera Wang has been very good at, for a very long time. The results ” seen in the Vera Wang spring 2018 bridal collection ” are beautiful in their own way, ranging from awe-inspiring to intriguing, with a marked difference from anything else out right now.

Though the designs are different, none of the bridal options is so far away from the tastes of her clientele that the collection would have to rely on the Vera Wang name alone. There are elements of romance, touches of chicness and interesting anecdotes clearly visible in each and every gown. Some, however, shine much more brightly than others.

The elongated sleeves from her previous collection seem to have carried over, the aesthetic not leaving her design style yet, but rather being incorporated into other silhouettes. The styling on the models does nothing to aid the looks, but accessorized right, the majority of these gowns will be knockouts.

The element of ready-to-wear that is incorporated into the collection is obvious and adds another note to the aesthetic. The edgier aesthetic elements are not easy to miss, and could clearly be accentuated with the right piece of jewelry, a touch of body makeup or clever undergarments. One thing is for certain ” you do not have to worry about looking like anyone else on your wedding day in one of these gowns.

Oscar de la Renta‘s bridal spring 2018 collection was a well-rounded procession of wedding day options with a good range of designs to appeal to a varied number of brides for their big day. Some of the most neglected options for brides were beautifully addressed, like pants.

The minds behind this runway presentation of the Oscar de la Renta bridal spring 2018 collection ” Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia ” did an exceptional job, and it was clear that the wedding gown design was well within their purview and expertise. Though this is their first collaborative effort for Oscar de la Renta Bridal, both have had experience with the bridal arena before.

The bridal collection they created was seamlessly similar to the work of Oscar himself, and it is no wonder as both Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia have been working closely with Oscar. The collection is romantic and textured in an exquisite way. The two co-directors of the Oscar de la Renta really put their knowledge to work.

Fernando Garcia even went so far as to explain the intention built into the aesthetic of the bridal collection by saying: “We kept some Oscar-isms, like sashes and ferns and foliage as a strong base for embroideries, because he loved gardens so much.’

Laura Kim followed up to remind us that fashion is always evolving and why the two were picked to co-direct the brand when she added: “But we’re making it much lighter and more relaxed.’

The show was thorough, including ideally adorned, picturesque little flower girls. The designs held appeal for every sensibility and fashion tone out there in more than just puffy layers of tulle but sleek layers, full skirts, ultra chic pant suits! The show was just incredible.

Centering a moment on the inclusion of the pantsuits, one in particular ” a strapless neckline and a tight lace bodice with slim fitting white high waisted pants and a hanging sash was a breathtaking addition for women to choose from. Pant options for brides are almost never included and when they are they are rarely so chic and incredible and inescapably pretty and feminine. The other pant option was actually a suit with a bit of retro flair to it and a liquid silver cummerbund that is certainly an eye-catching feature.

Truth be told there was not a disappointing design in the bunch ” the range of sashes, tied at an angle and hanging behind offered a bit of a divergence from what was expected with the front of many of these dresses, but the romantic, dreaminess of the collection was certainly seen throughout.

It seemed that no style was excluded, chic and sexy well-fitted mermaid gowns were in the show, one with a plunging neckline and smooth silhouette. The use of tulle here was iconic as well; something for everything from a southern belle to a more contemporary style was shown. There was even illusion netting paired with 3D appliques and lace. This bridal collection was everything.

The Elie Saab bridal spring 2018 collection was inspired by a garden where everything is in full bloom, but still managed to be soft, charming and striking. The designs featured the opulence we would expect from Elie Saab, who chose to present his third bridal collection in Elizabeth Taylor’s former midtown Manhattan townhouse.

The collection featured 13 pieces that vary clearly reference to the inspiration Elie Saab mentioned for his third bridal collection. Femininity is not a concept that has escaped Elie Saab, his designs, though dripping in splendor at all times, are not unflattering or bulky under the embellishments he includes. This is a brand that delivers glamour and in large shares at that.

Floral motifs and the use of blush in the collection harkened back to Japanese cherry blossoms, a very romantic style and design that always evokes movement even when standing still. Each of the designs had an elevated level of pomp to them, though the impressiveness of the collection as a whole is hard to describe. The mix of glamour and utility with the versatile designs included in the collection is also very fashion forward, and in the Elie Saab bridal spring 2018 collection there were quite a few.

The sheath dress with the detachable skirt is a brilliant option for brides who do not want a reception outfit that is too far removed from the glory of their wedding dress. The long-sleeved jumpsuit that featured tonal crystal embellishments and the accessories were an incredible draw as well.

The jewelry shown in the collection was outstanding ” simple but very interesting with unexpected swirls, dips and adjustments. The inclusion of capes did not go unnoticed, though a finely embroidered luxurious cape veil with a floral motif had an inescapable brilliance of its own. The fur shrug was soft and sweet and the unexpected inclusion of eyewear was not distracting, but very cool.

Smooth silhouettes and flowing lines gave a great canvas for the embellishments, keeping the opulence going from head to toe. The variety of necklines and cuts did not diverge all over the place, but managed to keep the consistent romantic, soft and blooming aesthetic throughout.

Starting at $7000 the pieces in this collection are actually designed to be more accessible. The body accentuating designs and always impressive detail work are set to make your walk a 306-degree experience as the embellishments are not focused solely on the front, but extend naturally and beautifully around the back to wow the assembled audience of family and friends from all angles.

This is especially true for the gown featuring the pearl and crystal embellished illusion bodice that continued the sparkling and shimmering design completely around the bodice and dipping into the full tulle skirt.

Bobbi Brown has been shocking people for months since she announced that she would be leaving the helm of her brand, but we all knew that wasn’t it for her. All of us who knew we would hear from her again in a professional manner were correct!

There have been several different options coming from Bobbi Brown like her book, titled Beauty From the Inside Out. In the book Bobbi Brown discusses the recipes and tips and discussions with wellness experts all designed to help her readers and followers to care for themselves.

Furthermore Bobbi Brown has entered into an agreement and recently announced that in a partnership with Lord & Taylor will launch an instore pop-up shop named JustBobbi. There will be an online offering with exclusive livestreams and new videos created by Bobbi Brown on a weekly basis, perfect for any of her over 200,000 followers that cannot make it to the JustBobbi instore pop-up shops.

The offerings in the pop-up shop are full of Bobbi’s personal choices for comfort and seem to lean more to ‘off duty’ and weekend wear. The choices are all popular in their own right or will be, not only because Bobbi picked them, but also because they are great in their own right.

The accessories, clothes and shoes are great, but there are even pieces in the pop-up shop that are geared towards charitable giving. An example of this is the T-shirt brand Good Hyouman, a company dedicated to comfortable clothes that dedicates a portion of the sales of collaborative limited edition shirt concepts to the charity of choice for the collaborator.

Popular accessories like the Parker Thatch totes and bags and shoes like Adidas Stan Smith sneakers, which have a full following of their own, are carried in the JustBobbi pop-up shops.

JustBobbi will be a big draw for the already popular Lord & Taylor, creating a win-win for both the company and Bobbi Brown. The president of Lord & Taylor, Liz Rodbell, said: “We want to entertain, and at the same time, we want to create things that are relevant and important. This kind of checks all those boxes, plus it checks health and wellness as a top priority for where the consumer is going.’

For the wellness products, which Bobbi made certain were represented in each of the Lord & Taylor instore pop-up shops, they included are Dr. Lipman supplements and Apa tooth whitening kits, Ella Macpherson’s super elixir and Bkr water bottle. There are, of course, Bobbi Brown makeup items throughout the popup store, but that is because Bobbi wants to offer a well-rounded shop that can meet several needs simultaneously.

The Giorgio Armani Charmani spring/summer 2017 makeup collection is designed to go in conjunction with the fashion collection. During Milan Fashion Week in September 2016, when Giorgio Armani presented his runway for the Charmani spring/summer 2017 collection, the makeup shown was the same that was used on the models on the runway. The collection is actually already available for purchase right now at Giorgio Armani Beauty and other select markets as well, including Nordstrom, Harrods and Saks Fifth Avenue.

As with all makeup, this collection by Giorgio Armani is designed to enhance the natural beauty of a person’s face. The collection is designed to showcase a delicacy in the features of the person wearing them.

To tie the Giorgio Armani Charmani spring/summer 2017 makeup collection in perfectly with the runway fashion counterpart, each item in the collection comes encased in a custom pouch created with the fabric of one of the looks from the runway. The material is iridescent, shimmering with a silvery and blue toned sheen and a drawstring.

Let’s take a look at the collection below and see what it includes!

Giorgio Armani Runway Face & Eyes Palette SS 2017 ($120.00)

The Runway Face & Eyes Palette is just as beautiful on the outside as the products are on the inside. The palette features two different sections that hold products and a nice size mirror as well. The outside has the same beautiful shimmering and iridescent blue print that the pouch is made of, solidifying the experience of the packaging.

The top section of the palette houses the bronzing face powder, pressed with the necessities in the formula for a healthy, summery complexion and the Armani Runway logo. Housed in the second section below are three eyeshadow shades that perfectly complement the runway collection.

The shades ” cobalt blue, which has been running the trends for deep strong color, pastel pink and deep dreamy black, are set above the applicators. The compact closes smoothly and easily, perfect for being on the go.

Giorgio Armani Runway Eye Tint Eyeshadow ($42.00)

The Giorgio Armani Runway Eye Tint eyeshadow has an incredibly bright vivid cobalt blue shade. As one of the products in the collection, it also comes in a beautiful themed pouch and box that match the collection. The shadow is easy to blend and can be built upon to enhance the look.

Giorgio Armani Runway Ecstasy Lacquer Lip Gloss ($40.00)

The Ecstasy Lacquer Lip Gloss is ideally pigmented and has a high shine that can ideally promote the ‘no makeup’ makeup look. The lip-gloss can be layered for intensity and even used as a top coat for other Armani lipsticks for a high shine look on any color, deep or light.

Just recently we wrote about the BECCA Cosmetics and Chrissy Teigen collaboration, specifically about hints for a stunning highlight. Now we know that the truth is even better ” the collaboration has created a highlighter palette! The BECCA x Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette will retail for $46 and will be available at all BECCA Cosmetics counters and can also be purchased online at Sephora’s website.

Chrissy Teigen was as hands on and involved in the process of creating her Glow Face Palette as her Instagram posts indicated. She has been a fan of BECCA Cosmetic highlighters for a good while, proudly declaring herself to be so on a few occasions.

The custom designed palette features four different options, each hand chosen for the Glow Face Palette. One of these cheek-enhancing shades is a current BECCA Cosmetics highlighter option that happens to be Chrissy Teigen’s favorite, and was quickly included in the palette.

Chrissy Teigen’s favorite highlighter is Rose Gold, and the shades that will accompany them are equally soft, shimmering with just the right touch of light reflecting brightness. The other three shades were designed specifically for this highlighting palette, carefully created with enough nuance to flatter a wide range of skin tones, and each one is a brand new offering for BECCA Cosmetics.

The actual contents of the limited edition BECCA x Chrissy Teigen Glow Face Palette are two shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighters, a Sunlit Bronzer and a Luminous Blush. Again, the Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in the color Rose Gold is Chrissy Teigen’s favorite shade by BECCA that she did not have to custom create.

Rose gold is on trend right now and has been for a little bit, so although this shade is very complementary on a variety of skin tones, it also fits right in with a very flattering and eye-catching trend.

The other pressed highlighter color is Beach Nectar, a color that features hints of gold and apricot. The Sunlit Bronzer in the color Malibu Soleil is reminiscent of a good summer tan and the Luminous Blush in Hibiscus Bloom is the limited edition golden and pink tinted coral.

The package is very springtime fresh with a summery cute feel thanks to the shades of gold, pink and cream swirled marble like on the top with cold lettering for BECCA and a heart with Chrissy’s signature on the lower half of the lid. The pink hues of the face palette are cute, but the very large square shaped mirror inside is as important and great as the shades the BECCA x Chrissy Teigen collaboration has created.

So many different palettes have the shades, and no mirror or a small ineffective mirror instead of a good sized one as shown here. Clearly, we can trust Chrissy Teigen to give us what we really want.
