AMFAR NY Gala

On Wednesday night, the annual amfAR New York Gala kicked off the city's Fashion Week festivities with a black-tie affair honoring Patrick Demarchelier, Rosario Dawson and Harry Belafonte for their efforts to raise awareness about the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It was also an excuse for the well-dressed crowd — including an impressive number of models — to hit the step-and-repeat in stunning formal wear.

Even Iman, made a rare appearance in a head-to-toe Balmain striped look that stood out amongst the evening's thigh-slit gowns. Another standout was model Crystal Renn, whose look channeled old-Hollywood glamour. Her tucked-under, wavy hair and wide-necked gown weren't even the best parts of her ensemble — we are all about her reverse cat eye and red pout.

How to Not go from OMG! Heels! to ... Ouch!

This post will probably solve the woes of those women including myself ..to stand in heels for hours and remain pain free. No,this is not a fluke.Don't believe me ? Please read the post and scroll down to check out the tips :

1. Chunky heels are your friend.

Stilettos are often uncomfortable because they place so much pressure on a very tiny heel. Chunky heels have a wider base, allowing for a more even application of pressure.

2. A platform is always a good idea.

Platforms offer the same benefits as shorter heels (reducing the distance your heels are elevated above the balls of your feet) without sacrificing height.

3. Wear shoes that cover the top of your foot.

Heeled boots or heels with a thick strap over the stop of your foot hold your foot steadier in your shoe. This helps keep your feet from sliding forward as much, which will help prevent toe blisters.

4. Switch into a different pair of heels.

 Different heels have different pain points—perhaps one always creates blisters on your heels while a different pair always crams your toes. Switching to a new pair half way through the day will help alleviate some of the pain that comes from standing in the same heels for many hours.

5. Shift your weight to the outside edge of your feet.

According to Vogue’s shoe expert, Yamuna Zake, you should try shifting your weight toward the outside edge of your feet if you plan to be standing for a long time. This will take some of the pressure off the arch of your foot.

6. Invest in quality shoes.

Quality shoes offer a lot more support, padding, and comfort than cheaply-made shoes. They also mold to your feet better (if you’ve ever walked in inexpensive heels, you’re familiar with the rigid, cardboard-like feel of them), which makes it easier to walk.

7. Do exercises that help strengthen the foot and alleviate pain.

Sure, being a supermodel helps with the whole awesome date outfit thing, but Huntington-Whiteley’s ensemble at a Violet Grey event is achievable for anyone. She paired a printed Chloe dress with lace-up boots for a look that was some parts boho and all parts perfect.STYLE TIP :Sure,I mean you can't afford the Free People Joe Lace-Up Boots or Chloe Printed Silk Dress ($2150) right this month..fear not!..buy a flirty or  skater skirt style dress and pair it with boots,but not too much of a high heel.After all,we can't have a heel debacle in the midst of..you-know-what...

STYLE TIP : Tuck a white blouse into a feminine full skirt, and accessorize with a printed clutch and pointy-toed heels.
*Or you can just pair your white blouse with jeans and pointy-toed red heels.


 For a more down-to-earth ensemble, try a look inspired by Palermo’s denim-on-denim outfit. She wore a chambray shirt with Black Orchid’s Jean Skirt ($119), and added an extra personal touch with her drool-worthy Aquazzura + Olivia Palermo Cutout Leather Sandals ($810).
STYLE TIP:..Instead of a jean skirt,wear a midi skirt or a mini A-line skirt will do too ..yes,it will be the perfect outfit for a day-out.



The House of Cards actress punched up her black Stella McCartney dress with an embellished clutch and pumps, and the result was head-to-toe chic.
STYLE TIP: Pair your LBD with a sequined clutch..If not a clutch then add glitz in the form of any other accessory..shoe or an ear-cuff.


Style a slightly sheer shirt like Kerr did with her Frame Denim Le High Skinny Jeans ($209) and flats for a well-balanced ensemble.


Take a page from Delevingne’s playbook, and give your date night outfit romantic finishes, like a draped jacket, sparkly clutch, and pink pumps.

Mix it up and consider the following: A knitted mini looks chic when paired with ankle- strap sandals. Need proof? Look at Chung in this amazing Calvin Klein Collection dress!

A Flirty Ruffle Skirt

If you want to go all-out girly girl, work some ruffles! A tiered skirt like blogger Blair Eadie's look is festive and chic with a black turtleneck and peacoat.

Ladylike Lace

Repeat after us: Lace dresses don't have to scream bridal. Stark white sneakers can lend a downtown feel to a long-sleeve style like blogger Hedvig Opshaug's dress, making it worthy of a V-Day outing.

Head-to-Toe Red

Going full-on red is an obvious Valentine's Day choice. Steal a page from blogger Helena Glazer's style playbook and use your accessories to shake up the monochromatic look.

A Winter Crop Top

Date night with your dude calls for a cold-weather cropped look like Editorialist cofounder Kate Davidson Hudson's top. Her turtleneck option works with a high-waist black midiskirt, proving you need to flash only a hint of skin to catch someone's eye.

Whimsical Novelty Prints

Have a little fun with the day's theme and go with a novelty shirt. Keep it in check by steering clear of bright hues, and instead choose a rich jewel tone like blogger Chiara Ferragni's Burberry top.

An Always Chic Little Black Dress

Heading to an I Hate Valentine's Day party? Might we suggest a dress-code-appropriate LBD! Pick one that has mixed materials or an interesting hemline—special touches that update the goes-with-everything dress. Style it with a long-line blazer and slip-on flats for a comfy, cool look.

A Thigh-High Slit Skirt

Leave it to blogger Leandra Medine to combine a lace crop top, high-slit skirt, and menswear oxfords. Her outfit nails it for those looking to straddle the sexy-but-not-trying-too-hard line.

Sultry Slips or Camis

As far as we're concerned, there is nothing sexier than a slip dress or silk camisole. Blogger Irina Lakicevic's slinky dress is a toss-on-and-go must-have, so add it to the list of Valentine's Day options.

Sporty Red Sneakers

Hanging with your girlfriends? Denim it is! Make like blogger Danielle Bernstein and add a punch of color in honor of the day with red slip-ons and a matching cozy knit.

An Edgy Leather Mini

Editor Barbara Martelo is no stranger to leather, so consider taking a cue from her: Balance rock-star edge and vintage glamour in a leather mini and slim cashmere sweater.

Organize your Closet with a bit o' help

According to Who What Wear,when left up to our own devices, most of our closets become overstuffed, chaotic jumbles—and if your closet is immaculate, I tip my hat to you! But for the rest of us, we could likely use a little help from a professional. And just in case hiring an organizer isn't quite in your budget, here's some sage advice from a favorite celebrity closet organizer and owner of Clutter Healing, Lili Pettit. We asked Pettit for the first thing she does to help organize a closet (a.k.a. the first major closet mistake she often corrects for her clients).

Scroll down to see her unexpected response,it just might inspire your next closet cleanout!

The first problem Pettit tackles? Getting rid of duplicates.

“I know it’s important to have a great white T-shirt, but I see people keeping 20 white shirts, and then saying, ‘I can’t get organized,' and 'It’s so hard for me to get dressed.’ I think having a lot of the same kinds of things makes it hard for people to stay organized because they feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff they have in their closet.” –Lili Pettit, Clutter Healing

How she does it:

“I like to ask people, 'If you were to go shopping today, would you buy this T-shirt off of the sales floor?' Most likely the answer is no.” –Lili Pettit, Clutter Healing
