Valentine's Day Freebie From Bliss

Valentine's Day Freebie From Bliss

There's nothing more welcomed before Valentine's Day and more importantly, Fashion Week, than beautifying spa treatments. Bliss is offering a special giveaway during the month of February in which you will be sent a free full-size Love Handler with any purchase on their website. Purchase an oxidizing facial and toss in a hot cream manicure and you'll be ready for one last season at Bryant Park and a date this weekend for Valentine's Day. If you can't be bothered to spa at home (or if your bathroom is the size of a broom closet) check if a Bliss Spa has landed in your area, and book a visit Love Handler or no.

Anna Wintour Styles Adele, Hamish Bowles Escorts Her to the Grammys

>> Last week, British singer Adele announced she was getting the Vogue treatment for the Grammys — she was scheduled to shoot a spread for the magazine with Annie Leibovitz, and Anna Wintour wanted to meet her during her final fitting last Monday.  "It was just like The Devil Wears Prada," Adele said.

>> Last week, British singer Adele announced she was getting the Vogue treatment for the Grammys — she was scheduled to shoot a spread for the magazine with Annie Leibovitz, and Anna Wintour wanted to meet her during her final fitting last Monday.  "It was just like The Devil Wears Prada," Adele said. "It was amazing. I was really frightened and I went in and she was so nice. She was like, 'What labels do you like?' I was trying to make up these designers that I was quite sure I had read in Vogue or something before."  Anna ended up offering to style her for the awards show, and Adele got "a really nice dress" out of the bargain.

Adele walked the red carpet last night in a Barbara Tfank flared black dress — which Vogue had custom-made for the occasion — and a green jacket that looked like something Wintour might wear herself, a tuxedoed Hamish Bowles on her arm.  Another Vogue celebrity styling debacle has been avoided, and we might even get a chronicle of the experience in Vogue — my best guess for Hamish's appearance on the red carpet.

We're just days away from the start of New York Fashion Week and there's nothing much else on our minds (save for Philo) than that. Above, two sketches from the Twinkle By Wenlan Fall 2009 collection which is said to be a "1950's-flaired" and which "sings of joie de vivre for the modern day Audrey Hepburn".

Quote Of The Day: Pheobe Philo Discusses Her Plans For Celine

From a design point of view, it’s very considered, and when it’s merchandised and styled, I hope it’s accessible.
by coutorture From a design point of view, it’s very considered, and when it’s merchandised and styled, I hope it’s accessible. I want to make the experience of buying and wearing clothes an easy experience. There’s a soberness to it, and a classicism to it. I hope the pieces will be relevant for a while to come.

Recession or no, it's pretty obvious that those nipped-in waists from Marc Jacobs' Spring 2009 collection will influence the waistline of a fall collection or two.

Recession or no, it's pretty obvious that those nipped-in waists from Marc Jacobs' Spring 2009 collection will influence the waistline of a fall collection or two. What better way is there, after all, to tidy a mixture of patterns or layers of separates? So far, we've seen eye-catching examples at the Stockholm and Copenhagen shows. Our favorites, above.
