Estee’s Picks for September
Fashion Director Estee Stanley shares her favorites for September.
Tom Ford for Estee Lauder Lipsticks |
Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream |
| The colors are DYNAMIC! | This holistic, natural cream seals in moisture with no harsh chemicals and keeps skin looking fresh and dewy. |
Giambattista Valli Multi Color Kitten Heels |
The Row Jenston Tee |
| These shoes are heaven! They have a very cool, ’60s vibe to them. I love a kitten heel for day because they are less painful than a high heel and more glamorous than a flat. | My search for the perfect T-shirt is finally over! These Tee’s come in different colors and can be worn casual or very dressy. |
Citizens of Humanity Edge SlouchySkinny Jeans |
Oscar de la Renta Beaded Jewelry |
| I’m not a skinny jeans girl, they look like leggings to me. So I love that these jeans are skinny and slouchy at the same time, they are so sexy. | I love his big, beaded jewelry to give a punch of color and pop to even the simplest of outfits. |
Amanda Crew
Amanda Crew might just be Hollywood’s nicest starlet. But don’t blame her for it—she’s Canadian. “I apologize for everything!” confesses the 24-year-old actress. “I was recently filming in Toronto and a hybrid taxi drove by, so I couldn’t hear it. He hit me with his side mirror—and I apologized!” This month, she stars as Zac Efron’s love interest in Charlie St. Cloud, and while she’s unflappable when it comes to er, minor accidents—starring opposite the hottest teen idol of our time was a teensy bit nerve-wracking. “There I am, it’s my first big studio film as a lead, and I’m hanging out with this good looking boy who’s pretty successful. I was like a 13-year-old girl again,” she says. Happily, Crew found her groove as the fearless, self-propelled Tess Carroll after just a few weeks of rehearsal: “Zac’s an amazing person. Any nervousness I brought with me was put to ease.” Perhaps it’s this adaptability that made her the ideal model for one of the most versatile hairstyles out there: A ponytail. Mark Townsend gave the star four innovative takes on the quintessential. The results? Drop dead gorgeous—and no apologies needed.
THE WORK PONY
A deep side-part, a sweep of bangs across the forehead, and brushed-out waves keep this mid-level ponytail from feeling too gym-ready. Crew’s favorite part of this look, however, was the nude lip. “I’ve been looking for a nude lipstick forever, but I’m a germaphobe so I don’t like trying them on in the stores,” she says. Makeup artist Fiona Stiles cracked the code with YSL Rouge Volupte in #2 Sensual Silk.
