O.P.I never fails when bringing the most eccentric colours into their palette as well as giving them artistic and creative names. For the Spring/Summer of 2010, the Hong Kong Collection by OPI is the complete definition of edgy - with inspiration from the contrasts of the city’s own lights.

The motto of this season’s collection is “A Little Fashion Feng Shui.” Feng Shui - pronounced fung-shway - means “wind” and “water.” This refers to our personal energies as well as the energy of the environment around us.

At school (Humber College), I am taking a photo stying and display technique class. Im learning a variety of styling techniques from off figure photo shoots to editoral photo shoots.

Yesterday, a few fellow students and myself conducted our first off figure photo shoot, and I feel it went fabulous! It was actually so much fun, but a lot of work. I never knew how hard it was to manipulate and play with clothing to make it look perfect in photographs, but luckily there is always the handy tool of Photoshop when needed!

Paris, Milan, London and New York, all homes to some of the greatest designers of all time, My favorite being Marc Jacobs. He never fails to succeed as he expresses his unique imagination. His trend setting visions are what women want to wear season after season. As his gorgeous silhouettes graced this years Spring/Summer 2010 runway, there was no lack of his creativity shown through his designs. From the intense detailing of ruffles and beading, to the soft pastel florals, Marc definitely out did himself this year.

Hey Armani,

Just wanted to say thanks.

One of my biggest fears is that I will get cancer.

I read an article last year that scared me. It said when aluminum is used in antiperspirant and deodorants to stop sweating, it clogs the pours and glands in the armpit and in turn locks in toxins. These toxins are thought to be linked to breast cancer.

Obviously, I no longer wanted to use a deodorant that uses aluminum (or any other harsh chemicals for that matter) to stop my B.O., so I made the switch to natural options.

But it wasn't a perfect union, I'll tell you that! I spent a year suffering with the wrong options for me.

One of my key responsibilities as an image consultant is to ensure my client’s new look is “doable” — that it can and will be maintained. With Liz, I know she’ll slip back into a cozy hoodie for an evening at home and that’s to be expected but I’m confident she’ll maintain her new hair colour and highlight regime. I’ve watched her embrace every stage of the process, yet now that we’re about to embark on the final leg of her journey, makeup, I’m anticipating a few challenges.

Before we visit the salon with Liz, some random thoughts on hair — every woman’s crowning glory.

The precise timing of when a “bad hair day” became universally known as a bad day, period, is difficult to pinpoint. We all understand the implications though, all too clearly. Unruly, unmanageable hair can be measured on the same scale as a day that falls apart— in a word, stressful.

Accessories can make or break an outfit. They can update a classic, breathe new life into an old favourite and turn daywear into elegant eveningwear. On the other hand, the wrong accessory can spoil the success of a really great look.

Simple truth #1
Eyewear is the most obvious accessory.

Simple truth #2
The right eyewear is crucial to the right look.

Simple truth #3
Eyewear is tricky.
