Falling in style
By Michelle Pulfrey and Amy DenoonPublished: September 01, 2010
A hot item from Patina BoutiqueFall is upon us. While the weather might not be playing along just yet, we’re definitely feeling it. The kids are back in school, the season’s hautest looks are finally in stores, and we’re getting ready to head out to New York Fashion Week. Here’s what else we’re feeling for fall!
• PATINA BOUTIQUE: Must. Lust. Love.
We love Patina, the little hidden gem of a boutique in Costa Mesa – not just for the fabulous finds, but for the great service. The Patina girls love playing stylist as much as we do!
This store is a must for anyone looking for the best in the SoCal season’s hottest trends – from fringe, lace and chunky knits to layering, oversized tees and vintage boots. The accessories are seriously to die for, with a wide variety of statement necklaces and rings to compliment just about any outfit.
Featuring brands such as Wildfox, Winter Kate, Genetic Denim, Stone Cold Fox, Elizabeth and James, Seneca Rising, Tyler Rose Swimwear, House of Harlow, Gorjana, St. Eve, Minx Minx and Vintage Finds, it’s a one-stop boutique for your fall wardrobe – head to toe. Patina Boutique, 178 Wells Place, Costa Mesa. 949.548.1930; patinaboutique.com
• TOO FACED: Naked is in
Local cosmetics fave Too Faced is getting us ready for fall with its new Get Naked collection. Our love affair begins with the Naked Eye Palette, which features nine soft and subtle shades, along with three easy-to-follow step-by-step instruction cards to help you create the perfect “naked” eye – for $35. We’re also loving the Primed and Poreless Powder, which turns any foundation into high-def makeup. The silky finish adjusts to your skin tone to lock down makeup and control shine for a smooth, flawless complexion. Available at Sephora, South Coast Plaza. sephora.com
• INTRACEUTICALS: Secret to the stars
After finding out from Madonna’s makeup artist Gina Brooke that this is Madge’s go-to treatment for pumping her skin full of vitamins, oxygen and antioxidants, we had to know more. The Intraceuticals Infusion Facial is a custom cocktail of serums that are sprayed onto your skin and then infused with oxygen under pressure. It removes fine lines and wrinkles, while rehydrating your skin for increased firmness. There’s even a treatment serum called Atoxaline for those afraid of the Botox needles – or those who want to increase the lasting look of previous shots. $165 per treatment. Available at Jannae Beauty Institute, 366 San Miguel Drive, Suite 307; 949.244.8022; jannae.com
• BLACK HALO: Business casual gets chic
One of the things we like best about our jobs is that we can dress how we feel and not according to a code. But we feel for our friends in biz who struggle to find the right office look. When we do need to play the office part, our go-to line is always Black Halo. This brand has nailed the look of dressy chic, and most of the looks can be paired with a cardigan or blazer for the day, or spiced up with accessories to take you from the office to happy hour. And that means more money for drinks. Our fall faves? The Nadia animal print sheath with cut-out details, and the Laurie mini. Perfectly polished every time. Available at Intermix, South Coast Plaza; blackhalo.com
• THE TWO THINGS YOU MUST HAVE:
Clarisonic Mia and Opal – We are addicted to our Clarisonics. This magical brush has literally transformed our complexions. So we couldn’t be more excited to now have the Mia, which is a smaller, travel-size version of the classic Clarisonic. In fun pastel colors, the one-button, one-speed sonic cleaning system is a must, no matter what type of skin you have. And we’re also obsessing over the new Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System for around the eye area. This amazing little gadget combines sonic infusion technology with a natural, paraben- free anti-aging sea serum that refreshes and renews the delicate skin around your eyes. $149 (Mia); $245 (Opal). Available at Planet Beauty; planetbeauty.com
