The largest sign that my life is in shambles?

I missed last nights’ Gossip Girl. I missed it not because I had a prior engagement or an important meeting (who am I kidding, nothing could be more important than that standing date with the CW every Monday), but because I am currently so bombarded with deadlines and must-dos that I couldn’t even take an hour to turn on the TV. Sad, sad, sad.

Maybe I could have found an hour if I hadn’t spent the past week “multitasking” my way through homework, writing assignments, and… style week coverage. Although I haven’t had a chance to discover any budding designers or exciting new collections (thanksgiving break, perhaps?), my old favorites definitely have not disappointed.

Trovata: pushed-sleeve blazers, cuffed chinos, gingam

Shipley & Halmos: little skirts with grandpa sweaters, whimsical cocktail dresses

Karen Walker: ankle pants, “spectator” Keds, boy blazers

Boy by Band of Outsiders: elongated blazers with mini dresses, sassy buttondowns

Jenni Kayne: antique denim with gold sequins, vintage brown belts

Clearly there has been no shortage of wonderful menswear-inspired collections for women, but the menswear collections themselves have been even more divine. Trovata, Shipley & Halmos, Band of Outsiders… sometimes I wish I had a boyfriend, but only to dress him.

Speaking of menswear, I might have missed GG but all is not lost, because I get to take off and see Vampire Weekend (i.e. purveyors of preppy Trovata-eque threads) in concert tomorrow! After missing them in such a heartbreaking way over the summer, it will be truly monumental to finally catch them live. Pictures are promised!

It happens, I know. You get all excited about the new blush color you bought and get a little heavy-handed; or you’re getting ready when it’s still dark out (and you’re still half asleep) and the next thing you know, your cheeks have so much color on them you resemble Bozo the Clown’s kid sister.

So what do you do when your blush takes over your whole face? Easy.

• Grab some translucent powder and swipe away.
• Be sure to use a loose powder – pressed will do in a real pinch, but loose works better here and gives you more control.
• Try to use the biggest, fluffiest brush in your collection (rather than a puff, which could streak).
• Dip the brush in the powder, and gently tap the handle of the brush with your hand to shake off any excess.
• Then…just dust over your color mishap until a more natural look emerges, and voila! A beautiful, healthy glow!
