In honor of one of our fave Monday night shows Gossip Girl we bring you the Angelic Headband in Silver as today’s Fashion Find. Not only does this sweet and polished look work for Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, but it looks equally as chic on actresses like Sophia Bush for red carpet events.

Shop SeenON! for this fab headband - and come back tomorrow for another great Fashion Find!

It wouldn’t seem like Kim Raver – who stands at a model-esque 5’8” – needs towering platforms with every outfit. But if this is what it takes to look as amazing as she does in every frame, we’ll look into it.

Here’s what we found, thanks to SeenON: In last night’s episode, Raver (as Nico Reilly) wears these Brian Atwood sandals ($680) in on-trend purple, and Dior’s calfskin peep-toes ($590). They’re both gorgeous, but the upwards-of-$500 shoe market isn’t where we usually fall.

To get the look of Nico’s purple patent platforms without the price tag, try these Chinese Laundry sandals ($80). They’re chunkier than the Brian Atwood ones, but that really just means you’ll be able to walk in these.

These Nine West slingbacks ($56) provide the luxe textured look of Nico’s Dior pumps, along with a 4” lift and that same peep toe to show off your pedicure.

One pair whose price tag doesn’t send us running: Nico’s Calvin Klein platform pumps , available on Amazon for $104 – a pretty good deal for a pair of interesting but staple-worthy, walkable work shoes.

Krizia from www.myBeautyMatch.com reveals Norman Sands’ 18 steps to creating the perfect face

Norman created a face chart for Leighton Meester, actress and Gossip Girl star, who is fast becoming one of Hollywood’s “It Girls”. Norman was responsible for giving Leighton a perfect fresh-faced look for her front-row seat at the 3.1 Phillip Lim show during New York City’s recent Fashion Week events.

I had the opportunity to interview Norman a few weeks ago (just before NY Fashion Week), and not only is he one of the most approachable Celebrity makeup artists I’ve come across, he’s also one of the most dedicated and passionate about his craft.

Personally, I think that Norman created the perfect face for Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester (all the makeup used is NARS Cosmetics). Here are all the steps he used to create Leighton’s fresh-face.

18 steps to the perfect red carpet makeup From Norman Sand:

1) After bonding over mutual our love of good skincare, I prepped her skin with Mud Mask for about 10 minutes to make her beautiful skin even more flawless.

2) I used Balancing Toning Lotion to remove the mask, soften the skin and prep the skin for moisture.

3) I mixed Aqua Gel Hydrator with Brightening Serum to give the skin instant hydration and radiance.

4) Aqua Gel is a secret weapon used for photo shoots and during Fashion Week as it is 87% water with Aloe and Grape Seed Oil.  It soothes, plumps and hydrates tired and overworked skin.  The Brightening Serum is a lightweight moisturizer with a pealescent finish that instantly lights up any complexion.

5) I then applied Firming Foundation in Punjab under the eyes and around the nose with clean fingertips.

6) I also applied the Multiple Bronzer in Tuomota to the cheeks and temples to warm up the complexion.

7) I buffed St. Tropez Powder Foundation into the skin with the NARS Botan brush to set the complexion and bring luster back to avoid a powdery look.

I highlighted her cheeks and the center of her face with the Multiple in Maldives to give a pink-champagne glow.

9) I set the cheeks with Luster blush and then added golden-ethereal finish using the Yachiyo brush #27.

10) For her eyes, I used bright shimmering in Cyprus Single Eyeshadow. I used a sheer bronze as a base and I also smudged it under the bottom lashes.

11) I blended Blondie Single Shadow in the bridge of the eye to give a slight contour and I used the shimmering lilac side of Elsa Duo Eyeshadow on the lid to give the lids a pop.

12) I used damp #2 Push Brush mixturing Single Eyeshadow in China Blue and Bali to line the eye.

13) The eye look was finished with Kaliste Eyeliner Pencil (a true teal) in the inner rim to set off Leighton’s honey colored eyes.

14) I applied two coats of Bamboo Waterproof mascara (a pure brown). This coated the lashes without making the lashes look clumpy.

15) The lips were moisturized with Sabrina Lip Treatment with SPF 20 to give the lips a sheer melon shimmer pout.  Fantasia Lipliner Pencil is one of my favorites because it creates a barely-there-peach when you don’t want to see the lipliner color.

16) I topped off the lips with the Giza/Boogie Nights Gloss Duo (a sheer nectar and metallic raspberry).

17) Final touches:  I blended Super Orgasm blush on the apples of the cheeks.  I then added Luster blush under the browbone (by adding a bit of the blush color it gives the eye a brightening lift).

18) I also used Brightening Serum on her arms and legs for a moisturizing healthy glow.

I’ll admit that might be a lot of steps for the average woman and since you don’t have to walk the carpets of New York fashion week every single day of your life, I’m sure that if you take this face-chart to your nearest NARS Cosmetic counter a beauty expert can help you find the 5-minute face version to this. You’ll also want to take a look at the NARS Cosmetic Fall 2008 collection because the colors are superb!

Even though it’s interesting to see all the designs from Project Runway in person, I do have my favorites. And I finally was able to get a better look at two of my favorite designs from 501–Daniel and Jennifer.

I absolutely loved Daniel’s plastic cup dress on the runway and it didn’t disappoint in person. His dress was just as fabulous as I imagined it. Daniel thought outside the box with his material selection and chose Solo blue plastic cups for his dress. Surprisingly, Daniel was able to create the illusion of a smooth surface with the cups. The dress had a muslin lining which served as a foundation to hot glue the plastic cup pieces onto. This was another dress that was glued onto the model and had to be cut off. The only downside to the dress was its sweaty smell, as the plastic cups don’t breathe. Overall, it’s obvious that Daniel knows how to highlight a women’s silhouette; the plastic pieces were arranged it perfectly follow the model’s hourglass shape. In the auction, Daniel’s dress did well, raising $105.

I also got to peek at Jennifer’s lipstick paper towel dress. While this dress was just ho-hum on the runway, it was marvelous in person. This dress was really well made–from the sweetheart neckline, to the fitted waist, and the immaculate ruffles. I especially liked the back detailing and tiers of ruffles; these fabulous details made the dress. Jennifer was also smart about the lipstick–making her prints on separate paper towels that she sewed on. Like to so many others, this dress was sewn onto the model and cut off. “Gojengo” was the auction winner–guess Jennifer has a fan club already, or a devoted bff. Hmmm.

Make sure you check back tomorrow as I will be giving up all the details on the rest of the designs from 501. And don’t forget to nab your own Project Runway original in this week’s auction: Bright Lights/Big City!

I’m back with another update on the dirty details of the Project Runway Episode 501 Designs. Today I got a peek at both the good & the bad!

First for the bad. While Jerry was upset about leaving the show on the first episode, it had to be someone; and after seeing his garment in person, I know why it was him! The judges stormed on Jerry’s rainy day fun outfit. His idea was had potential, but his execution was nowhere near making the cut. Jerry’s rain jacket was made out of a shower curtain liner, using the hooks for buttons. Props for the creative buttons and the unique cut of the jacket hem. However, it was poorly constructed–it was cut so small across the back, it had to be taped to the model for the runway. Jerry also made a shift dress out of gauze and a lavender plastic tablecloth to go underneath the jacket. This also was badly executed: it did not hang well and was badly sewn. Interestingly enough, Jerry’s garment wasn’t last in the auction–it was second to last, raising $50. To Jerry’s credit, it was difficult to be the first to leave, but it seems his party would’ve been rained on sooner or later.

Now for the nitty gritty on Keith. While I would love to dish on him for using an unoriginal fabric–a checkered black and white tablecloth–I just can’t. His dress was well constructed with good detailing. Keith’s dress had a deep v neck with a volumious bubble skirt. I absolutely loved the skirt on the dress–it had a fabulous, flirty shape and movement. Keith also incorporated laundry bag netting into his skirt to add interest and texture, which he dip-dyed black. The only fault to this dress was the pins holding the back seam together. Keith also made a belt out of shinny silver squares–a trendy touch. Keith’s dress went for $105 to a “mommydelbear,” do you think his mom is starting a collection like Blayne’s mom?

Check back tomorrow for another update on the designs–I’m covering a few of my favorites! Make sure you bid on your favorite auction designs!
