When it comes to the blush, most of the time (stage performances, festivals, and runway shows notwithstanding), we tend to covet a believable, just-pinched, post-workout, postcoital rosiness — not a Boy-George-during-the-Culture-Club-era flash of scarlet or magenta.
You may think of Glamour as a top-tier women’s fashion and beauty magazine— not to mention the chief architect of the “Do” and “Don’t” schematic — but the brand has as much substance as it does style.
The Wild Wild West galloped onto runways for Fall/Winter 2015, with Gucci, Tom Ford, M Missoni, Valentino and Tory Burch all toying with cowgirl-inspired pieces ranging from playful denim shirt dresses and fringe leather and suede jackets to saddle bags, cowboy boots, and rugged jewelry pieces fashioned with leather, rope, and concho shells.
