Shifting Gears

Regretfully, my schedule (taking on evening classes in addition to working full-time and the need to dedicate myself more to some much needed projects!) has forced me to take an indefinite hiatus from my blogging activities. Thank you to everyone that has followed and supported Style-Haus. This isn't goodbye...just shifting gears. :) Take care and Happy Holidays! Image source: WeHeartIt

Gowns S/S 2011

I imagine many of you have seen these images from Spring / Summer 2011 shows, but while browsing through my favorite saved pics I was inspired by the broad spectrum of evening wear presented by designers. These looks are from the J Mendel, Marchesa, Zac Posen and Alexander Mcqueen collections; illustrating the many facets of gowns...from ethereal, airy and fluid like to bold, dramatic and sultry.

I'd like to say "THANK YOU" to Sylvia from California Candy for the fantastic Hot Trend giveaway and yours truly was the very lucky winner! Many thanks Sylvia and I can't wait to sport the amazing snake ring. For those of you aren't already followers of Sylvia's site, she's an incredibly stylish California gal and her blog California Candy is definitely worth checking out!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Bold Brows

The look of bold eyebrows, reminiscent of old Hollywood beauties such as Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor, never seem to go out of style and can come across as magnetic. Strong, well groomed brows not only draw attention to the eyes but can also add shape, definition and beautifully frame the face.

Fresh Face

Since starting her modeling career in 2009, Lindsey Wixson has quickly emerged as one of "the" fresh faces of the modeling scene. In addition to being in demand on the runways, she's also appeared in ad campaigns for Miu Miu, Versace, Barneys, Jill Stuart and Galliano. While her look is undoubtedly unique, memorable and youthful, these photographs also show her range and versatility as a model.

Young Hollywood
