Lianne Spiderbaby! We designed a custom gown for Tarantino’s girl to wear on the big night and we think she looked gorgeous! The black and gold hand-beaded, low cut bodice was the perfect fit for the evening. Quentin might’ve won a statue for Best Original Screenplay, but Lianne definitely won Best Dressed!

Over here in the Mara Hoffman studio we are constantly adding to our office playlist (suggestions always welcome) and have come up with a list of the most frequently played jams of late that we’re sharing with you. From the beautiful and emotive voice of Misun to our girl Solange‘s hit “Losing You” (this video is ridiculously good), as well as a few electro-pop tracks from Purity Ring‘s latest album, we think we’ve got you covered for the weekend!

Bonus: Spotify users can download the entire playlist!

We loved the beauty look that Maybelline’s lead makeup artist Charlotte Willer created to represent the mystic & misfits theme for our fall 13 show at NYFW. Luckily, they created a great video tutorial on how to get the makeup & nail looks!
