MAC Cosmetics {Fabulous Felines}

words_dena rochelle

Behold the gorgeous palettes from MAC’s just-launched fall collex, Fabulous Felines. Everything you need to make the switch to a fall face is comprised in three sets: Burmese Beauty + Palace Pedigreed + Leopard Luxe. My three faves, which have been added to my makeup arsenal: Pet Me Mineral Blush light yellow pink with soft pearl (limited edition), Out Minxed Lipstick light yellow glaze (limited edition) and A Quiet Roar Lip Glass pale white gold (limited edition).

Now check out this how-to video with MAC Senior Artist Tiffany Johnston, which shows you how to create the cat eye. Tiffany did my makeup a few months ago at a MAC event and we follow each other on twitter now @MAC_Tiffany_J … you should do the same!

Founders & Followers {Art + Fashion Online Shop}

words_dena rochelle

Last week marked the debut of a new online shopping haven offering fashion finds and art. The founders, Alicia R. and Aurelia M., share a background in design and a love of fashion and other artistic mediums. “The concept behind Founders & Followers is that finally there will be a space that intimately interconnects the designer’s world with the consumer”, said Alicia R., co-founder. “We are seeking to offer a different shopping experience—not only will ‘Founders & Followers’ feel like opening a beautiful fashion magazine or entering a concept store, it will also have enough rotation of material non-related to the shop including atelier and exclusive illustration prints.”

In addition to shopping indie designer wares from the likes of Bodkin, Gar-De, Surface to Air, Shipley + Halmos, and Risto, shoppers will also have access to established and renowned fashion illustrators including Sophie Toulouse, Stephane Manel, Marie Molterer, and Esra Roise.

I had early access to the site and found many tempting pieces. It’s been bookmarked for future editorial reference and wardrobe additions. It’s a one-stop shop for art and fashion, two of my favorite things. FoundersandFollowers.com

Be & D {Barclay Camo Bag}

BARCLAY Camo lores 

words_dena rochelle

Currently coveting this edgy camo bag. It's a luxe beauty from Be & D featuring the brand's signature stud details. I've been obsessing over this line ever since I did a designer q+a with Founder/Creative Director Steve Dumain earlier this year. 

How about building your fall wardrobe around this satchel? It's versatile, cool and begs to be noticed. Add it to your wishlist and follow @beandd and @treschicnow on twitter for updates on when the Barclay Camo hits stores. But while the new incarnation of the Barclay is quite tempting, I'm still not over the Genesis bag and Woodstock Shopper…
