New York Fashion Week Fall 2011: Wine-stained lips and 70s glam rules the runways

New York Fashion Week is in full swing with designers showing their Fall 2011 collections and providing us beauty junkies with some hard core inspiration. At the Porter Grey presentation on Thursday, models wore wine stained lips and wavy hair with a deep side part.

Meanwhile, over at the Farah Angsana show on Friday the look was all about 70s glamour, featuring smoky eyes, red lips, beehive updos and sleek bobs. I guess it's time to re-think the old rule that a statement eye and lip shouldn't be worn together.

What do think of these two looks? I'm inspired to duplicate the Porter Grey look right now! And the ultra glam look Farah Angsana would be perfect for a special Valentines Day date.

My newest obsession

Lacoste Women's Robe, Basic Terry - $125

Oh my gosh, guys. I was lucky enough to receive this amazing robe as a Christmas gift from my mom and I never want to take it off! It is so extremely soft and plush -- it's just yummy! Plus, it looks super cute on. I have the white one but I also love the turquoise color. If you're in the market for a new robe, I highly recommend this one. It's a splurge but I promise, it's totally worth it.

Un-boring black winter coats for under $200

Prettied Up reader Stephanie recently contacted me on Facebook because she needs help finding a cute winter coat. Here's what she wrote:

"I want to ask for a winter coat for Christmas. I want a warm black winter coat that's cute and not too bulky. Where is a good store to look for one at?"

Ideally, the coat should be less than $200, she said. 

Well, Stephanie, you're in luck because lots of retailers have coats on sale right now! I've scoured the internet and found tons of cute and affordable options. These coats prove that basic black does not have to be boring! Take a look:

Kenneth Cole New York black wool blend asymmetrical zip front belted coat - $141.60
If you love this coat, order it soon because it's extremely limited! If not, here are some other great options:

1. Urban Outfitters Joyce coat - $79
2. Zara seamed jacket with belt - $129
3. J Crew Stadium-cloth Sasha peacoat - $169.99
