Recently I was turned on to the RE9 line from Arbonne skincare. I was a little hesitant to try it at first as the look and packaging seemed a little off, but liked that they are a green company with a strict ingredient policy so I decided to give it a go. The 9 high quality organic ingredients such as stabilized vitamin c, and peptides work very quickly (This shit works fast !), and give you a dewy appearance from the inside out.  Two of my favorite products included the restorative day cream, SPF 20, and the corrective eye cream.

My mission in covering beauty is sharing products, images and tips  that give you a paticular look, and can really make the difference in giving that to you.   Otherwise, there is really no point in me covering it and sharing this with you, and it would be completely random.  In this case, what I was going for was a modern glow, the freshly dewey paler skin vibe that looks like you went on the perricone diet, not that cheezy J-Lo  glow of yesteryear : layering a bunch of synthetic luminizers.

Beauty is so much a part of wearing fashion and exuding your style.  The canvas of beauty really does begin with your skin, which is precisely why me being a product junky can serve someone else in a productive way.

Congrats to Haleh Nematzadeh dark side  denim vest on her mention in Luckymag.com’s  ” fall’s most stylish music girls”  story!    Click on the image above to see my friends Nervo (thanks guys),  and a great selection of songstresses like Twin Sister, Zola Jesus, and High Places, showing their favorite digs.

Thank you to myfashioncogitation.com for the fun interview ! (click on image above to read).  The fashion establishment chooses to ignore the blogs continuing instead to give attention to a few top style sites, 2 or 3 famous bloggers, and print media.  Something is off in my book, revolutions always start with DIY, and many of them are giving print publications a run for their money.  Here’s to the future, and those tasteful style blogs that do it for the love.  I support you.

You know an accessory is good when you can take a plain wardrobe pairing, and create some other story by adding them to your ensemble.

I have cultivated an incredible knee high collection for the past few seasons.  Great when transitioning from summer to fall, and fall to winter.  When you just can’t give up showing your legs: when those desperate few inches of skin can make all the difference: Here’s to our favorite naughty accessory.

These are sold out everywhere, and then I luckily stumbled upon lovelylegsandintimates.com,  a great hosiery site that carries a dazzling array of some pretty major tights besides these.   It’s just these that I’m obsessed with now.

Paired with my current favorite low heeled boots, the Knee highs are less vampy, even if paired with a garter skirt which is separate.

Super casual with vintage PIL concert tee for running errands.

A night out on the town.  I’m really over wearing heels to any parties, unless It’s a function.  Anytime the knee highs are paired with any heels it’s too much, anyway.   Instead opt to wear them with some majorly unsexy footwear.

It’s fun to break on through to the nightlife side sometimes. Click on the image and read the rest of my recent dj interview with the girls over at socialscience.com.

M E E T  H A L E H… WE LOVE YOUR NAME HALEH, WHAT’S THE ORIGIN?THANK YOU! IT’S A PERSIAN NAME AND MEANS EITHER HALO, OR THE MIST IN THE MOON DURING A LUNAR ECLIPSE.  I KEPT HEARING ALL THESE DIFFERENT MEANINGS GROWING UP.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DJING? I’VE BEEN AWARE OF MUSIC MAKING AN IMPACT ON ME AT THE AGE OF 3., BUT STARTED DJ’ING A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO.

DESIGNING CAME FIRST TO YOU, WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START SPINNING? MY COLLECTION IS BASED ON THE INTERCHANGE BETWEEN HIGH FASHION, STREET CULTURE, AND MUSIC. I’VE ALWAYS LOVED  HOW DIFFERENT MUSICIAL MOVEMENTS HAVE INSPIRED FASHION OR VICE VERSA.  I ALWAYS CREATED SOUNDTRACKS NATURALLY TO CREATE A FEELING FOR EACH SEASON, SO IT SEEMED LIKE A NATURAL PROGRESSION.

Sarah jean is in the spirit of only wearing clothes that are from another era, eccentric and have an owned quality to them.  I love it when people just commit to a time period  that works inherently with their looks and makes them seem as though they carry a recontextualized version of that  era with them wherever they go.  In this case edwardian looks inherently modern, breezy and is making me crave vintage Guinne sax eyelet dresses and a mass of curly hair to match.  Throw in a neon lip to throw off the look.

This track has got me mesmerized. Click on pic for link.

Red lights, red alert.  Here is a little sneak peak of me messing around in my new space,  Haleh Nematzadeh Archive and Studio.  If creation is a choice, I have made mine in this bathroom, along side that cheezy ass fake christian dior tube top I just can’t seem to get rid of.  Is it just me, or do any tops that say “Christian Dior” not have a very dated 90’s sex in the city kitchiness to them ?

I never thought I would crave messy weather. I’m in hott, hotter, the hottest of pursuits, lust, whatever you want to call it over these wicked solutions to taking on rain.   Before the countless knock offs, take off, (because you know they will) I’m picturing myself sloshing around  to at a bunch of  summer music festivals wearing these.
