Ciao, Milano! Now, it’s onto Paris. But before we turn our attention from Piazza Oberdan to the Grand Palais, we wanted to share some of our favourite beauty looks from MFW. Here are five we love.
Minx nails at Missoni
A departure from the nude nails seen on Milan runways last season, these custom-printed Minx nail appliqués were applied over an iridescent base. We’re praying that like Missoni for Target, these beauties make it to the masses, too.

In our DIY Nails series, we take the average manicure to the next level by including an element of nail art. Last time around, we played around with one of our favourite shades for fall, Chanel’s “Peridot.” In this episode, we’re hitting the runway for another of our favourite fall looks: the Yigal Azrouël black and gold glitter nail from his Fall 2011 show.

There was a distinct cloud of dust hovering in the air backstage at Thakoon. Some models were coughing, a drop cloth had been laid on the floor, and there was a film of particles covering my iPhone. The culprit? Clay powders of varying shades that hair stylist Odile Gilbert had Fed Ex’d from Europe where they’re sold in pharmacies and health food stores. Applying it to the girls—either mixed with water or in its innate, powdery texture—was a nod to Holi, the annual festival of colour in India where the civilians throw coloured powder and water at each other. To give the illusion of bobs—albeit ones with tons of texture—hair was braided up into two different styles. (And yes, they were washing everything out post-show.) As an extension of the Indian influence, nails were painted with Nars nail polish in “Versailles,” a pale gold.

Opening in June, the new outpost of hipster haven Heritage by Old Gold Boutique (4357 St-Laurent Blvd., 514-509-1675, oldgoldboutique.com) is a treasure trove of sassy dresses, borrowed-from-the-boys oxfords and bold baubles. These cheeky rings (from $48) make me smile from ear to ear.

Happy (belated) birthday to poor Lanvin creative director Alber Elbaz, who describes his lavish celebration as such: “I was at the Air France lounge waiting to get on the flight to New York, and the airline attendant presented me with a muffin. I think we both felt embarrassed.” [Racked]

We love these nerdy chic necklaces from Survival of the Hippest, available in white or yellow gold and sterling silver with custom-made Twitter iconography–you can also add diamonds. Get your Twitter ID (or preferred hashtag) carved out of metal to rest around your neck (or ankle or wrist) for the rest of your tweeting days. A 14k gold @FashionCanada with a smattering of hard candy would run us $210 US with delivery. Would you wear this twitterific name plate? What would your hash tag be? Would you get diamonds? (We totally would.) [via @FashionableHFX]
