hile doing research for the Decades inspired spread (Six Decades of Style, page 16) this month, I came across the July 2010 Vogue narrative spread that inspired me to really get into fashion, specifically fashion publishing. When I first saw the spread, I was in a waiting room in New York, getting my dad’s watch fixed while on vacation. It was a beautiful, 1950s-inspired spread photographed by Peter Lindbergh that told the story of an impeccably dressed woman (Natalie Vodianova) and her seemingly perfect family life. Through photographs, the story progresses: she has an affair, fights with her husband, and eventually separates from him ---- but she gets the kids, the money and the James Dean look-alike, so she still wins. This spread taught me that an outfit can tell a story, make a memory, empower a person and, above all, make an impression. What you wear is the story you want to tell the world. I hope you are inspired by the amazing talent and appreciate the hard work that went into producing this issue. My personal favorite is the mens fashion spread photographed by the incredibly talented Zack Jafek (Fashion on the Field, page 26). As much as I love fashion and this magazine, I am a writer at heart. I just want to tell stories.

Unlike embellished Christmas sweaters, your holiday makeup look does not have to be flamboyantly festive. Take inspiration from silky fabrics and elegant sheath dresses for a softer approach this winter.
Dior 5 Couleurs Couture Colour Eyeshadow Palette in Mitzah: The pattern of the season, this leopard print palette features beautiful warm-toned colors that go from contoured neutrals to naturally smoky without missing a beat. $60, Sephora Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Color in Siren: This classic orange red formula is not to be overlooked in a crowd. We love how this lipstick color pops against a bare face and subtle eye makeup. $7, Ulta MAC Mattene Lipstick in Delectable: Forget other dry formulas, this gorgeous matte peach lipstick offers lips a surprisingly creamy finish that actually feels comfortable without sacrificing a true velvety finish. $15, Nordstrom
Ardell Fashion Lashes in 120 Demi Black: These false, natural-looking lashes are your secret this holiday season. We recommend this particular style. These lashes have thickened clusters and gradually flare at the outer corners. $4, Ulta

Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes Mascara: Designed to emulate a runway model’s lush, doll-like lashes, this mascara’s cone-shaped brush thickens each lash for an accentuated fringe. $25, Sephora

A Fragran Tom Ford Violet Blonde Eau de Parfum: This magnificently rich floral envelops the wearer in a heady blend of passionate jasmine and piquant iris. With a green wood base, this rich scent promises to linger on the skin until after-hours. $65-$145, Sephora Jo Malone Wild Bluebell Cologne: Those who like a soft and light scent will appreciate this dew-misted vision. A valley of delicate florals, this airy fragrance touches on a fruity heart with a hint of persimmon. $55-$110, Nordstrom Lavanila Vanilla Blackberry Eau de Parfum: This exotic mix of luscious blackberries, dark raspberries, and velvety iris is a creamier, sexier interpretation of the usually sugary vanilla. $58, Nordstrom Lolita Lempicka Si Lolita Eau de Parfum: Change your perception of sweet peas with this perfume. Enhancing its fresh sharpness with pink peppercorn, heliotrope, and tonka, this whimsical scent offers a spicier concept to other floral Asian types. $72-$92, Nordstrom
22 habit//november:december 2011
nt Attraction Bvlgari Black Eau de Toilette: The type of fragrance to be worn with a motorcycle jacket, this edgy, smoky scent concentrates on a black tea note but hints at worn leather and spicy tobacco. $77, Sephora John Varvatos Vintage Eau de Toilette: With an exotic background, this cologne is appreciated by those with a sophisticated palate. With striking notes of cinnamon, rhubarb, oak moss, and Fir balsam, this scent offers a floral infusion to the woody base. $60-$80, Sephora Givenchy Pi Eau de Toilette: Though vanilla may not be a typical scent for men, this cologne offers a pleasing balance of sandalwood and resin, spicing up the scent and making this the ideal pick for sensual types. $54-$73, Nordstrom Kenzo Pour Homme Eau de Toilette: An aquatic fragrance, this is a unique blend, with traces of marine, vetiver, and cloves that creates subtle contrasts; it exemplifies the power of an understatement. $73, Sephora

A person’s choice in fragrance is as deeply tied to his or her first impression as appearance is. Both leave a long-lasting, lingering memory. When attraction is equally chemical as it is physical, an alluring fragrance is paramount. -Crystal Park

FEATURE Avoid the Holiday
by Crystal Park
F
rom Thanksgiving to New Year’s (and all too often beyond), Americans love to indulge in hearty home-cooked meals and sumptuous desserts ---- most would agree that the holidays would not be complete without them. Yet they would also have to admit that weight gain around this season is commonly due to these tempting treats. According to Tara Coleman, a clinical nutritionist, most people do not lose all the weight they gain over the holidays since they deviate from their usual fitness routine and diet. The holidays are also “the only time of the year where there’s always cookies and cakes around.” Shreya Gollamudi (11), who maintains an active lifestyle through tennis and dance, agrees that during the holidays she eats more sweets and finds it harder to motivate herself to exercise. “Typically, people get very busy,” Coleman said. “People skip exercise and eat out more and react to their hunger instead of planning.” However, Coleman said that making your own lunch and buying groceries is “a huge step since you’re more likely to eat healthier.”
Traditional holiday foods like turkey, mashed potatoes and bread are not necessarily unhealthy according to Coleman. It is the size of the portions and the processed, calorie-dense nature of holiday foods that contribute to weight gain. In a social setting, Coleman recommends taking a few pieces and moving away from the food to keep calories in check. “A lot of the times, it’s mindless eating,” said Coleman. “Meals don’t tend to be that bad, but the appetizers and desserts add up.” To stay fit during the holidays, Coleman advises her clients to be realistic and consistent when scheduling workouts. “Don’t stick to your normal five times a week,” Coleman said. “Switch to three.” Even after the holidays, when losing gained weight is the goal, “going extreme, like intense dieting, is the worst thing to do,” according to Coleman. Instead, staying on a regular plan is more likely to produce results and keep the weight off. “You can have your holiday favorites and Thanksgiving dinner and still be in good shape,” Coleman said. “Just don’t use the holidays as an excuse and skip lunch without exercising.” To stay healthy this holiday, Gollamudi plans to eat sweets in moderation and engage in “physical activities everyday, even if it’s for a short amount of time.”

style according to... KELSEY KARP From light up shoes on the playground to lighting up the night in a pair of sparkling Stuart Weitzman stilettos, personal style is definitely something that develops over time. Just as a taste for certain foods can develop, the same can be done for certain fashions. Style is very real, something we see everyday, and tangible for those who seek it; Everyone has an equal opportunity to develop his or her own unique style The way you present yourself through your style is how the world sees you without having to dig any deeper. Unfortunately, in today’s society we are hung up on the fact that having personal style equals following the norm and stereotypical teen trends or having a significant amount of money to spend on the season’s latest high fashion or haute couture. Looking back, I appreciate the glorious days when GapKids, Abercrombie, Limited Too, and Juicy Couture ruled the playground. Then again, I am appreciative that I am older and able to expand my tastes with many different brands, styles, and that I have the ability to try new things. As a child, I wore bright and playful Lilly Pulitzer fashions. My grandmother would buy the fabric and sew it into dresses, skirts, and shorts. Funny how 18 years later I still sport a lively Lilly frock. It’s truly been ingrained into my personal style. It’s in my room, decoupaged all over my dress mannequin and my desk. Style is something you will carry with you for the rest of your life because it’s the most basic form of self. You will never need to worry about your personal style going out of style because what makes fashion beautiful is that it movies in cycles. Style is cyclical. Style is forever. 30 habit//november:december 2011
