10 Questions with Summer of Blood's Juliette Fairley

By
Staff
-

Congratulations on your film premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival. We hear this is one of your first carpets. Are you excited to get all glammed up?

Yes. Very much so. I plan to get my makeup done and hair, but I haven’t picked out a dress yet. It might be one of those poofy little bo beep dresses or a long gown.


What is your favorite part about dressing up for the carpet?

I like the pampering part of getting my makeup and hair done. The dressing up part is best when there’s a designer involved. I like going through fashion magazines to see what the latest trends are in heels.


Anything you are nervous about?

Walking in heels and I’m also afraid that my makeup will melt from the lights on the red carpet. I’ve been researching how A-list celebrities pose. Jennifer Aniston really knows how to pose so I’ve been practicing the over the shoulder look.


How was it filming Summer of Blood? Are you close with your castmates?

I made lots of friends on the set. I got to know Anna Margaret Hollyman who starred in an indie film named White Reindeer and it turns out we are both from Texas. I also got to say hello again to Alex Karpovsky from HBO’s Girls because he dropped by on the set when we were filming one of my scenes.


Any fun stories from set?

I am always on a strict diet so the bread eating scene that is in the trailer was hard because I couldn’t swallow. I never eat bread so I had to chew and then spit it out. Also, during that scene, Onur Tukel (the star and director,) was really grossing me out with disgusting food tricks like letting lettuce and sauce dribble, so it was hard not to laugh.

We saw some of the vampire makeup in the trailer. How long did it take to get vampire ready?

It took an hour to be fitted with fangs. That was the longest part. Then everyone was outfitted with contact lenses that made us look like zombies. We all took turns taking showers because the blood was so thick in our hair. Some even got on my shoes but it was easy to rinse out.


As you may know, we are a fashion magazine and we hear you are into fashion and beauty. With Spring finally arriving, what are some of your ‘must-have’ items this season?

A striped Nautica shirt, an off the shoulder dress, boxy shorts, cat eye sunglasses, espadrille shoes, gem studded dress, tiny lady shoulder bag, high waisted jeans, white shirt dress, ballet flat


How would you describe your personal style?

Sexy and classic


Who are some of your favorite designers?

Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Tory Burch, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Moschino. I could go on and on.


Within your career, you must have had some long days on set whether doing your on-air hosting or acting, If you could only bring one beauty product out of your trailer to have on you, what would it be?

Lipstick. I have a bright pink Urban Decay lipstick that pops on camera no matter how sleepy I feel on set. I also slap on a little Beauty Flash Baum from Clarins because it brightens in between takes.

Summer of Blood premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday, April 17th. See more about Juliette on www.juliettefairley.com.

At Home Beauty with SkinCool

She also received certificates in International Business Operation and Contract Management from University of California Irvine in Irvine, California. She has previously worked in the field of Bio-Pharmaceutical, Medical Device and Medical Aesthetic, giving her more expertise in the world of skincare.

In 2012, The SkinCool Ice Roller introduced a safe, at-home treatment in the skincare industry. The roller consists of two parts: the roller and the handle. When you’re not using the tool, it’s easy to snap together to store in your freezer. One important thing to note is to keep the roller away from heat, or else it will melt. There are many ways you can use SkinCool Ice Roller: before and after a cosmetic procedure, for instant pain relief of any kind including burns, minor injury and sores. Other times to use it include post workout, shaving, eyebrow threading or hair removal waxing.

Julia Hart does a wonderful tutorial video on the website, where she shows you how to use the SkinCool Ice Roller. She also talks a little bit more about it in detail as well as discusses some benefits. Hart says it’s not as messy as an ice cube facial, the cold temperature penetrates quickly into the skin, and it increases the circulation and oxygenation in blood. I had the opportunity to use the product for myself and I tried it over several days. I tried the SkinCool Ice Roller at night right before I went to bed. The first time I used the product I was taken aback about how cold it really was. It felt wonderful on my skin and although there is no time limit that you need to use it, I applied it between 2-4 minutes. The very next day I woke up and my skin felt refreshed and my eyes looked brighter! I continued my routine for the next several days of using it right before bed. Over those days I noticed that my skin felt softer, my eyes continued to look brighter and my face overall look revitalized. The SkinCool Ice Roller by Hansderma is the perfect remedy for a little boost at home.

Everyone needs a perfect pair of these, not just to look good in, but to also protect our eyes from those harmful rays. Just like a great necklace, sunglasses can change the entire look of your outfit.

It may take a few tries to find the perfect pair, and as you may know, stylish, quality eyewear that actually protect our precious eyes are harder to come by these days. For the most part, sunglasses are either tacky, cheaply made, and actually absorbs more of the sun’s harmful rays… or worth as much as one month’s rent just for having a silly, although fabulous, name stamped on the sides. Fortunately, ICU Eyewear has come forward to bridge the gap between affordable and fashionable, quality made eyewear. Established in 1997 by Patricia Kesten, ICU Eyewear has become a recognized pioneer in eyewear fashion and has been featured in Vogue, O, (the Oprah magazine) The Today Show, Women’s Wear Daily, Better Homes & Gardens, as well as many other media outlets.

Women’s designs include vintage-inspired glamour with cool and modern color combinations as well as pieces with a little more dazzle with dainty detailing.

Aside from sunglasses, ICU Eyewear is world renowned for their reading glasses and just like their sunglasses, they come in a variety of variant hues, styles, and prints to suit anyone’s wardrobe and start at around $23.

A portion of all proceeds from the sale of the “Pink Ribbon Reader” is donated to organizations that support breast cancer research and awareness.

Opening the show, we got a glimpse of one of the aforementioned bodysuits. Multi-textured and designed in metallic tones, the fringed one-piece glittered under the catwalk lights. Gowns, which dominated the line, were primarily sheer, with cap sleeves and plunging sweetheart necklines, looks that simply exuded sensual femininity. Embellished with feathers, fringe and leather, sequin belts adorned the waists for a finishing touch.

For Costarella’s chosen palette, lime, fuchsia and white dominated. With white sheer gowns grabbing attention with their 3D additions, and strapless minis featuring silver sequin scales, the models appeared as inspired sea goddesses.


Costarella closed the show with jumpers and dresses in silk color block patterns in orange, fuchsia and lavender, infusing a mod throwback feel.

This collection was truly a personal favorite of fashion week so far. Stay tuned for more fashion coverage and designer spotlights from Australia Fashion Week right here on Runway Live and through Facebook and Instagram.


The Anti-Aging Ingredient More Important Than Sunscreen

By
Clarissa
-

But have we been wrong this whole time? Here’s the thing SPF is NOT enough to protect you from sun damage. Sunscreens block UVA and UVB rays, but those rays only account for 7% of the sun’s energy!

New research finds that infrared radiation, which makes up 54% of solar energy, also causes aging – and it might even be worse than UV rays. While there is no one product that can totally guard you from infrared radiation, studies show that antioxidants in skin care help!

We have all heard the word “free radical” and we know that they aren’t good. But now we found that there isn’t just one free radical. There are *3 FAMILIES of free radicals that age us rapidly. What can we do to stop the madness? Eat fruits and veggies containing antioxidants and use products rich in Antioxidants.

http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/how-antioxidants-work1

More and more skin care experts now recommend wearing an antioxidant like TRS 24/7 Defense AND a sunscreen and many of them believe that the anti-oxidant portion is the most important of the duo!

What are free radicals?

To break it down, a free radical is an unstable oxygen molecule with an uneven number of electrons. These free radicals are looking to steal electrons from your cells in order to complete themselves and the result is damage in the form of inflammation, pigmentation and even DNA damage. Basically free radicals are our enemy! The more they accumulate in our skin the more they damage our healthy cells and the faster we age!

To the good news…antioxidants are the best-known way to neutralize these free radicals before they start attacking our healthy cells!

How do antioxidants work?

If free radicals are your enemies, then antioxidants are your heroes! Antioxidants provide the missing electron, so the free radicals don’t try to take them from your skin.

Antioxidants work to stop this damaging, disease-causing chain reaction that free radicals have started. Each type of antioxidant works either to prevent the chain reaction or stop it after it’s started.

To conclude, here are 5 ways antioxidants can help save your skin!

1) Anti-inflammation

2) Skin firming:

3) Reduced appearance of wrinkles

4) Scar treatment

5) Repair of sun damage

Antioxidants help prevent the breakdown of elastin and when used with Retinols which speed up cell turnover and peptides which tell your skin to make more collagen the results are amazing! Bottom line: Remember to use an antioxidant serum, like TRS 24/7 Defense, which has 18 potent powerhouse antioxidants that wipe out all 3 free radical families. And is the only one of its kind on the market. So don’t wait any longer, start using antioxidants today!

Fight Against Foodborne Illness with the Fit Foodie

By
Clarissa
-

Food remains a deeply personal part of Mareya’s life. Part of her interest in eating healthfully stemmed from a dark point in her life. “I developed an eating disorder that plagued me for 10 years of my life…Food became an enemy,” Mareya admits.

From that difficult time came her desire to learn to treat food as a good thing for her body. “I got my holistic nutrition certificate as one of the steps to really heal myself,” she says. “I think a lot of [my eating disorder] had to do with media and pressure to look a certain way […] I wanted to be able to come out of that and not just cook food, but cook food that heals.”

Continuing her father’s longstanding work to improve food safety regulations, Mareya is a passionate advocate for ensuring our food supplies are safe. Currently, one of her greatest concerns regards the efficacy of just using tap water to clean our produce. Many studies have been released showing that just rinsing with tap water does not remove enough residual bacteria on produce. Mareya’s solution through her Eat Cleaner movement is her range of biodegradable, all natural, antimicrobial and antioxidant produce washes and wipes that remove up to 99.9% of harmful pathogens from produce.

 


Some of the most fatal outbreaks of foodborne illnesses in history have been recorded recently. In the past two years, 50 deaths and over 3,000 reported cases of illness were associated with an E. coli outbreak in sprouts from Germany. This was the deadliest recorded outbreak of E. coli in history. In another case, cantaloupe contaminated with listeria led to 29 deaths across 28 states, the second deadliest outbreak in the United States.

 


The fact of the matter is that our food supplies are increasingly at risk for exposure to contaminating pathogens as our global population continues to grow exponentially. But why do we see fit to merely rinse off our produce with a hasty splash of tap water before eating it, when we obsessively wash nearly everything else in our lives with tap water and a cleansing agent? Most people won’t even drink their tap water, so why is it considered sufficient to clean our food? It’s problems like these that Mareya Ibrahim is out to fight.

 

 

 

Mareya continues to act in her role as a national food safety expert and collaborates with third-party organizations to push for, amongst other things, better recommendations for how to handle produce.

Mareya contributed to the New York Times bestselling book The Daniel Plan. She designed its meal and detox plans with a person who had never heard of clean eating before in mind. It’s a simple plan with an effectiveness that still resonates years later. Mareya stresses the importance of using ingredients that actually heal your body at the cellular level. “It’s about smart substitutions and portion control,” she says.

We Are Handsome Makes a Splash in Sydney at Australia Fashion Week

By
Runway Magazine Editorial Team

Models delightfully walked through the Paddington Reservoir Gardens donning oversized metallic necklaces representative of tropical animals and live banana snakes. Coiled as elegantly as a large reptile can be; the large yellow carnivorous additions shocked the crowd and pulled them in even closer to an already captivating show.

Swimwear is the focus of this duo’s fashion house and come summer 2015 the options will be seemingly endless. From zip-front tankinis, to halters and strapless two pieces, the designers are a cut above the rest. Pardon my pun; I was just highly impressed with the variety seen throughout the show. Animal patterns such as tigers, eagles and zebras were dominant and the color palette ranged from oceanic aqua and sunny yellows, to the most electric pinks and oranges. Men’s suits were just as bright and cut shorter than the traditional suits seen stateside.

A highlight included the belted cover-ups that featured large gold or silver lion heads on a brightly colored, sheer pieces. The bold details, that also included customized headphones that matched the suit patterns, floral headdresses and the aforementioned oversized metal neckwear, made the line feel youthful and fun.

Jeremy and Katinka wanted to create a show that was “happy fun”, and our smiles have yet to fade.


Australia Fashion Week Spotlight: Strateas Carlucci Keeps It Simple For SS 2015

By
Runway Magazine Editorial Team
-

Yet it is the simplicity and exquisite tailoring that gives his line edge. Utilizing a neutral palette of black, white, silver, taupe and olive, Carlucci incorporated layering into almost every look. Leather cropped jackets and long knit sweaters with oversized sleeves were popular, with zippers being the favored embellishment. Makeup was dewy and clean, with hair slicked back and out of the way, further highlighting the crisp lines in the pieces.

When asked what he believes his brand is known for, Carlucci stated, “STRATEAS.CARLUCCI is about staying true to its aesthetic, which is a fine balance between sharp, architectural construction and tailoring, combined with dark moods and conceptual themes. Often surrounded by a thick and opaque color palette, the aesthetic allures a sense of purity and intrigue via Masculine/Feminine duality through shape, form, fabric and detail.”

It is refreshing when a designer sets out to create their vision and executes it so brilliantly. The masculine edge in the design of the new collection is carried well by the models, with the subtle feminine infusions showing through in a peekaboo sheer top under a cropped blazer, or a soft gathered fabric on a dress paired with an aforementioned leather jacket.

Inspired by “movements in life”, Carlucci says that he draws inspiration and concepts from literature, music, architecture or film. Worldly things that can captivate ones imagination without having one set formula.

The beauty is that, you can feel the inspiration, and be inspired by, this collection. A collection is highly versatile with pieces essential to any S/S 2015 wardrobe.
