Celeb Birthday: The Olsen Twins

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are another year older, and their lives are still busier than ever. Besides designing clothes, acting in movies, and attending fabulous events, they are now adding jewelry designing and book writing to their long résumés.

Mary-Kate and Ashley’s clothing line Elizabeth and James (named after their siblings) is all geared up for the fall, and they’ve recently teamed up with jewelry designer and sculptor Robert Lee Morris to create a line of jewelry called Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James. Can’t wait to see it.

Until then, here’s a peek at their Fall 2008 Collection for Elizabeth and James. It’s a mix of uptown and downtown, masculine and feminine, and casual and dressy pieces. Leave it to Ashley and Mary-Kate to design the coolest menswear-inspired pieces for fall.

Look for menswear-inspired blazers and shirts with delicate mini-dresses, feminine detailing, sequins and unusual fabrics which all make up this unique line.

If you still crave fashion from the twins, you’re in for a treat. The girls are working on a coffee table book, Influence, about fashion trendsetters. Look for it this fall.

Celeb Beauty: Natalie Portman and the Perfect Nude Lipcolor

Natalie Portman

Hollywood’s gorgeous green gal Natalie Portman looks amazing in neutral makeup colors. Her beautiful topaz-brown eyes and ivory skin are enhanced with shades of nude, beige, and sand—earthy colors. Create your own natural look with a fabulous nude lip color just for your skin tone.

Here’s how to find that perfect barely-there shade of nude for your lips.

Keep it real. Choose lipstick in colors as close to your skin tone as possible. Don’t think nude means naked—appearing natural, yet polished, takes a little know-how when picking out your perfect shade.

FAIR SKIN—Look for peachy nudes. Kevyn Aucoin The Expert Lip Tint in Caramellina, $23 at beauty.com

BEIGE SKIN—Look for warm nudes. Ramy Lipstick in Laugh, $17 at ramy.com

GOLDEN SKIN—Look for honey and golden nudes. LORAC Lotsa Lip Plumping Lipstick in Misbehavin, $18.50 at sephora.com

BRONZE SKIN—Look for warm camel, caramel, and toasty nudes. Lulu Beauty Lipstick in Ida, $17 at lulubeauty.com

DEEP SKIN—Look for coffee and mocha nudes. NARS Sheer Lipstick in Corinthe, $24 at beauty.com

Tips:

•Nude colors with shimmer make lips appear fuller.

•Applying gloss over nude lipstick takes lips from natural-looking to pouty-perfection.

Ka-Pow! Wonder Woman Fashion and Beauty

Wonder Woman is such an inspiration. She’s tough, gorgeous, and has one great sense of style. When Lynda Carter starred in the Wonder Woman TV series during the late 1970’s, teens (and housewives) admired her dark brown hair and strong sense of girl power.

Wonder Woman’s influence and style can still be seen today. With star-printed bottoms and silver cuffs, she could fit right in with Chanel’s spring 2008 runway show. Just imagine her protecting the catwalk with her bulletproof bracelets while strutting her superheroine powers down the runway.
