“This year shimmering eyes and bold lips will be a big trend on the red carpet. Expect to see eyes awash in shades like sparkling champagne, polished bronze, smokey taupe…but the biggest trend is going to be flawless glowing, lit-from-within skin.” – Oscars Makeup Department Head and Olay Celebrity Makeup Artist Bruce Grayson.

Who’s going to be watching the Oscars tomorrow?? OK, so the videos below are obviously endorsed by Olay and Pantene, but they have some great hair and makeup tips. Grayson shows us how to make your eyes pop, and where to highlight your face, while Pantene Celebrity Stylist and Global Ambassador Danilo gives a quick run through of how to style this pretty, polished ballerina bun (so regal).

Insound, an awesome online record store, is having an equally awesome sale on a bunch of band shirts–57 shirts to be exact. Every shirt on the list is discounted 25%. These aren’t just the reject shirts that need to be cleared out–there are a lot of quality designs from great bands.

Down vests are the duck-billed platypuses of the clothing world. You know their sleeveless design evolved for some reason, but that original purpose has long since been lost in a foppish undertow. For that reason, we appreciate this Lacoste Puffer Jacket with Removable Sleeves ($325), because it appeases our stylish sensibility while still making our inner pragmatist feel like it got the last word.

Franklin & Marshall have just released a number of reversible American college-style jackets for their Spring/Summer 2011 collection. 

The preppy clothing label’s new garms include a windbreaker and a varsity college jacket fitted with the ability to reverse into different colour schemes and styles.

So in my perspective, you have to have a darn good fashion sense to pull off two or more patterns in one outfit. (and by that I’m not referring to the gipsy mix and match style – that, I’m loving and there’s no right or wrong, it’s just gipsy)
