Okay, so you might not go for the shape of the lips Thom Browne chose for his models this season, but you should certainly go for the color. MAC went with Ruby Woo lipstick, dusted over with Red Pigment to create a hyper-saturated finish. Click through the above links to see what you can score on eBay.

I’m a firm believer that you can never own too many red lipsticks. Lately, we’re obssesed with MAC’s “Ronnie Red”, named after bad girl Veronica from Archie Comics. eBay has a plethora of Ronnie Reds available at great prices. Other options include Elizabeth Arden’s or Chanel’s rouge sticks. Make those lips count!

![6 Things Every Girl Should Have in Her Closet: Kate Schelter
By Jauretsi
Kate Schelter is a curious lady with her hands in many pots. In her younger years, Kate studied graphic art and adored fashion, so she decided to open her own firm, Kate Schelter LLC, specializing in both passions — creative direction and fashion styling. She’s styled campaigns for Lulu Frost, Hollywould, and Wren and styled for names ranging from the Olsen twins to Margherita Missoni. We asked the image consultant to share her top six essentials for any woman’s wardrobe.
(1) Underpinnings: Hanky Panky, Woldford stockings, Ten Undies. Once you know your size, you can’t mess it up on eBay
(2) Heels: Gianvitto Rossi Black 4” stilleto. Cheap shoes scream “I ruined your look”, great ones complete it
[MORE]
(3) Coats: Comme des Garcons camel trench, Yves Saint Laurent faux leopard print coat
(4) Fabulous Dress: Something wonderful, colorful, memorable. For example, Vintage YSL, Ungaro, Oscar de la Renta
(5) Accessories: Beaver felt trilby (Lock and Co), antique jewelry (gifted by someone very special)
(6) Red Lipstick (Chanel): eBay is a dream for finding your favorite discontinued colors and products

No matter how boyish and low-maintenance I like to think I am, sometimes it’s nice to dress like a proper lady. Lipstick, knee-length dresses, high heels, the works. Peplum skirts and tops are a flirty favorite of mine. A full skirt paired with a polite button-up is another way to dip your toes into uncharted girl territory. The trick is to never make it look too precious. If you’re feeling like a cupcake, throw on a harder shoe, like Valentino’s studded cheetah numbers or Acne’s (very comfortable, I might add) wedge sandals.

Fresh in the airwaves this week is Chanel’s new fashion film, I Love Chanel, introducing their brand new Rouge Allure lipstick. The vignette, scored by Goldfrapps “Strict Machine”, is a tribute to a vintage Vogue cover (specifically a 1950 image by Erwin Blumenfeld). The script is short and sweet… taken from the mouth of Coco Chanel: “If you are sad, if you are heartbroken, make yourself up, dress up, add more lipstick, and attack. Men hate women who weep.”
