Blanka Dudas makeup workshops

Regularly spotted backstage at the likes of New York Fashion Week, makeup artist Blanka Dudas is something of a veteran. I won't go into the long list of celebrities she's worked with, suffice to say we were interested to hear that Blanka will be running makeup workshops in Melbourne, starting on May 1st. The workshops are aimed at "demystifying the confusion of makeup application, simplifying the beauty regime, and educating women in the basics of natural makeup application." We expect Blanka will have plenty of gems of knowledge to impart, so worth a look if you're Melbourne-based.

Mini Skirts With Mega Style

Mini skirts are fierce and it seems like they’re everywhere. Worn right, they’re a sophisticated bottom that’s alluring without trying too hard. Dress it up or dress it down, and the mini will take you from a weekend brunch to a post-work happy hour. And before you say you’re too tall or too modest for this style, grab yourself a pair of opaque tights and hit the dressing room with our favorites as a guide. You’re sure to find a mini perfect for you.

1. Flirty and fun, this ruffled mini ($48) from Free People hits on all this season’s trends.

2. A paper bag waist and gauzy material make Victoria’s Secret’s zebra mini ($39.50) a more forgiving and seasonless style.

3. For tall girls, Banana Republic’s corduroy mini ($29.99) has extra length and a classic style that’ll go anywhere.

4. Preppy gray plaid cozies up Juicy’s mini ($82) which is practically begging to be paired with cabled tights and a turtleneck sweater.

5. This Elizabeth and James beaded skirt is so perfectly embellished–it’s hard to resist.

See more of the best skirts, plus tall boots, really cute booties to go with everything, and leather jackets to pump up the look to an edgier level.

Zippora Seven beach babe

Balmain Homme Spring

Balmain, under the guiding hand of Christophe Decarnin, has become an unmistakable force to be reckoned with; particularly when it comes to some of the sexiest, shiniest, most rock star-worthy womenswear going. But does Decarnin's menswear carry the same sexual intensity and effortless cool factor that makes his womens lines such a success? Judging by the label's Spring 2010 menswear lookbook, the resounding answer is "yes".
