Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2012-2013 – Video Sneak Peek!

by The Backseat Stylers | November 12th, 2012

The television air date is still a way’s away, but we’re already getting more than a few sneak peeks of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2012-2013. First there were those 60+ runway images we posted, then the close-up of Nicholas Kirkwood‘s custom-designed shoes for the VS Angels, and now we’re getting our first look at the show in motion, via an exclusive video shot by the folks over at The Coveteur.

After watching that clip, the CBS air date can’t come soon enough. Is it December 4 yet?

The Backseat Stylers in ELLE Canada’s ’60 Seconds to…TIFF Red Carpet Ready’ Beauty Video

by The Backseat Stylers | September 12th, 2012

I may be all about the fashion, but when it comes to makeup I’m a complete neophyte.

I have my handful of trusty products I stick to and rarely try new ones, mostly on account of my lack of skill. I won’t attempt a smoky eye, for example, because I just know I’ll end up looking like a raccoon. I envy those of you who can pick up a new cosmetic product and know exactly what to do with it to give yourself a new, fabulous look every day.

I desperately need a makeup lesson or two, so when Jennifer Weatherhead of ELLE Canada reached out to me with the opportunity to play model for their video, ’60 Seconds to…TIFF Red Carpet Ready’, I was definitely in! Off I went to Gee Beauty in Toronto, fresh-faced and ready for my red carpet transformation.

There, the lovely Celene Gee worked her magic, giving me a perfect complexion, sharp cheekbones, smoldering eyes (hurray for false lashes!), and a bold red lip – in no time flat. I was so thrilled with the results that I (a) asked Celene to move in with me (she politely declined) and (b) called the Mister and demanded an impromptu, fancy date.

TIFF had yet to arrive, but the look the Gee Beauty ladies gave me was exactly what I’d want for a trip down a red carpet. This ol’ mug has never looked better. Thank you, ELLE Canada and Gee Beauty!

Check out the video over on ElleCanada.com for a 60-second tutorial on how to achieve a red carpet-ready makeup look in a rush, including application tips, recommended Gee Beauty products and…me!

Tom Ford Spring 2011 Womenswear Collection Video

by The Backseat Stylers | January 4th, 2011

After what’s been a slow and, at times, painful reveal of his Spring 2011 womenswear collection, Tom Ford has finally released a video of his NYFW presentation back in September. The video has already made the rounds of the Twitterverse and blogosphere, but in case you missed it, check it out here. If you’ve already seen it, watch it again. This collection is magnificent.
