I live for the daily Eva Chen pose. Kidding. But I do enjoy sneaking a peek at what shoes, purse and piece of fruit the
Lucky EIC is flaunting in transit from designer appointment to star-studded event. The Instagram series yields familiarity mixed with anticipation, and it's a brilliant little concept that (I think) is strengthening the
Lucky brand—I never buy that magazine, but 34 year-old Eva, the youngest to steer a major fashion magazine, is the
only fashion editor I follow on Instagram (while I subscribe to several other titles). The building feeling of kinship with the woman at the top of the masthead has at least restored
Lucky's place on my radar. And it stands to reason that if I like what she puts in her Instagrams, I'll like what she puts in the magazine. Whether or not I'm swayed by all of her sartorial choices (I will never do the "clompy" loafers she has a current affinity for), Eva's established herself as a certified style star—and has the added edge of being
inside the industry. That credibility combined with her endearing
confusion over the latest lingo, adorably
expanding baby bump and
gelato-fueled journey through fashion week keeps me coming back, and hungrily (there is a LOT of gelato) absorbing everything. She recently 'grammed a gorgeous
army green nail lacquer that made me double-tap with rocket speed—and start brainstorming what shades to add to my own collection for fall. I quickly found
OPI's Nordic Collection hits all the high points of this colorful time of year. A sampling:
The spot in your collection: The Neutral.
The color: Apple cider donuts.
The look: Every season needs a go-to day shade that doesn't scream for attention.
On fair skin, this is slightly darker than nude for a natural,
easy-to-maintain look and Parisian-chic sophistication.
The spot in your collection: The Pop.
The color: A bright mix of damp leaves.
The look: Some zing is necessary as the weather starts to cool, but pinks
feel too beach-and-boat for me. This blue-violet will light up against dark clothing,
chunky knits and luxe leather in an energizing but complementary way.
The spot in your collection: The Date.
The color: Plump cranberries and mulled wine.
The look: There's something inherently seductive about red that will
set the tone for a spicy night. This is brighter and juicier than a dull bordeaux,
with a warm rosiness that will make you want to cuddle under the covers.
What colors are you swiping on this season?
