Branded a NECESSITY for those who are wild at heart, SpiritHoods are handmade with the best quality faux fur. “In no way would we harm our furry friends. But don’t be mistaken, this fake fur truly feels and looks real. A great deal of time and energy was spent in the design of each hood, each having its own unique characteristics and charm, from ears to buttons – no two hoods are the same.”

SpiritHoods actively donates money to wildlife conservation including Wolf Hollow, Snow Leopard Conservancy, Polar Bear International, and Panda International.

“I’ve been calling it ‘noble naivity’ – it’s taking the soft, sculpted, shaded beauty of an 18th century painting then giving it a whimsical, light sense of humour, as if a child has graffiti’d all over it.” Said Alex Box of MAC Cosmetics, who created this fiasco for Vivienne Westwood Red Label Fall 2011. What do you guys think? Fashion, funny, or straight FUGLY?

It’s warming up around these parts, so what better way to brace yourself than with this cute little number from Hellz Bellz. Inspired by the emotional thriller and theater blockbuster – Black Swan, HELLZ is pre-releasing one of S/S 2011’s most popular styles for a bone chillingly flawless kick-start to Spring. The ‘Bed Time Stories’ dress has been hand picked by clothing brand designer, Lanie Alabanza-Barcena directly to give all fashion insiders the opportunity to be the first to own this limited edition style. With geometric strap detail along with a feminine tu-tu like silhouette, the ‘Bed Time Stories’dress will make any good girl want to go bad. Available in small, medium, and large, the dress is said to run on the smaller side- perfect for teeny tinies. If you’re shy about showing that much skin (as I am), a pair of fishnets and a cropped cardigan will put you at ease. Hurry up, Bed Time Stories is only available until February 28th and once they’re gone, they’re GONE. Shop HERE

Spring is right around the corner but I’m still lusting after a few fall finds. On my radar: Betsey Johnson’s “I Fucking Love You” chocolate box hats, MAC x Wonder Woman, and of course, more  Jonathan Adler. Supreme hit a home run with their quirky little spring accessories. Add a pair of Miu Miu clogs, some breath freshener, and a creepy clown cuff and voila! February faves!

A few of my favorite looks from the Betsey Johnson RTW Fall 2011 collection titled “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not”. The lineup showcased “references to punk, Edwardian, goth, hippie, rock ‘n’ roll, and everything in between.” I love how BJ is never afraid to be dramatic and pile on tons of makeup on the models (or herself). She’s what I LOVE about being a girl.

Redken stylist, Peter Gray created two looks, one of which involved black wigs that were spray painted with a gold shade (then sprayed again with black, using lace fabric as a stencil).

Maybelline New York’s global makeup artist, Charlotte Willer covered models’ eyes in blue eye shadow and thick black liner extended to the temples. Cheeks were kept pale, while lips were stained a deep crimson hue.

Inspired by the eclectic style of an urban ballerina, this striking collection infuses a punk-rock edge with the typically soft, sweet (and pink) palette of classical ballet. The shades in the Urban Ballerina collection reflect the urban dancer’s dynamic textures and colors, like shimmering pink satin, the steely gray of downtown buildings, and the neutral tones of a city landscape.

Available individually for $9 or in a mini set of four select colors on Sephora.com
