Colleen Quen Debut at Shanghai MOCA

For all you jet-setting folks traveling near Shanghai, don't miss Colleen Quen's international debut at the Shanghai MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art). As part of the 80+ artists participating in the second Envisage "Butterfly Dream" exhibition, her gown is showcased in support of the emerging Chinese contemporary art community within the international art world. This gown is simply divine. I can't even describe its infinite beauty. Whoever is lucky enough to wear this gown will feel as if she's flying over filigree dreams.

I ran across Carolina Herrera's Spring 2009 collection from NYFW at Second City Style, and there are tons of gorgeous, feminine frocks. Lots of romantic ruffles, bright colors, and beautiful silhouettes. Here's a couple images to drool at from the runway: carolina%20herrera09.jpg The floral design on this piece reminds me of Audrey Hepburn's Givenchy gown in Sabrina: carolina%20herrera%2009spring.jpg Photo credit: WireImage

Eminence DiVine Collection

The DiVine Collection from Eminence is really a decadent walk through Hungary's famous wine region. Ripe with polyphenols, this new fall line will fortify, tone, and restore your skin to its youthful vitality. Champagne grapes, orange, and quince are also included to maximize the healing properties of this wonderful line. I really liked the Quince & Ice Wine Masque. Good for normal skin, it's especially beneficial for rosacea and oily types. Tokay grapes, quince, and echinacea come together to calm inflammation. The Tokay Ice Wine Masque is also another yummy winner. Packed with pieces of grape and apple, it helps nourish and restore vitality to the skin. These masques are great after a long night of partying, that's for sure! Don't forget to follow up with their Mimosa Champagne Tonique, which helps tighten and detox the visage. DiVine%20Collection%20eminence.jpg For body care, you're in for a treat. The Mimosa Champagne Sugar Scrub will exfoliate your entire body into a soft, sweet bonbon. Champagne grapes, orange and raw sugar cane contain tons of antioxidants to buff your skin into a glowing pearl. You can then further detox with the Mimosa Body Lotion. This non-greasy moisturizer is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory - perfect for restoring the skin after a full summer of sun, surf and sand. Last, but not least, the Mimosa Champagne Massage Oil is great for dry skin. Rub a few drops onto your elbows, hands, feet, and knees after a shower, or put some in the bath. The scent is nice and light, so you can still use your own perfume without clashing with it. www.eminenceorganics.com (San Francisco skin goddesses can check out the entire collection at www.danaleslieorganics.net)
