A MOMENT IN TIME
Photographer: THOMAS H.P. JERUSALEM
Model: Bernadette von Drachenberg
Thomas H.P. Jerusalem (AKA Jerry) is a German photographer living and working in Chicago, Naperville, and St Charles, IL. Thomas H.P. Jerusalem specializes in fashion and conceptual photography. His work has been published on numerous occasions in international magazines, both online and print, and several photographs have won awards. He is listed in the ONE LIFE 2012 Catalog and has a portfolio at Italian VOGUE/PhotoVogue and Art+Commerce/VOGUE NYC. His clients include: ad agencies, magazines, model agencies, publishing companies, designers, and realtors. Jerry combines his background with his photography and style, creating vintage and surrealistic portraits of models in conceptual environments. His work includes dark romantic, edgy, and vintage space-age photography. Growing up during the Cold War in West Germany, he read his dad’s over-sized NY Photo Academy books from the sixties, which influenced his style. Since he did not speak English at the time, the descriptive words in the pictures did not make much sense, so he focused on the visual stories behind the images. The passion and perfection that Jerry has for photography can be seen reflected in every image.
So…with all these scary traditions and horror-parties everywhere, each of us, ladies, need a lot of time and power to create an original Halloween look. And when I say Halloween look, I mean not just a really cool party dress, but also a fashionable beauty look. An inspired, unique and unusual make-up will help you independently stand out from the crowd.
Each year, we see the typical ghosts, witches, vampires or zombies on Halloween Night and it gets really boring from year to year to see the same ideas. Therefore, looking through the variety of ideas for Halloween makeup, I found a detailed description of an easily recognizable but difficult makeup. And it’s the main character of movie “Carrie”. For Halloween, she remains as an icon whose haunting look is easily recognized. For implementation of the look you can use cosmetics indicated and chosen by me. There are some steps that indicate how to create your own version of the scary girl.
1. Start on a fresh, bare face. Clean your face and remove all traces of any makeup. Firstly, treat your face with moisturizer and your lips with lip conditioner.
2. Use foundation (can use M.A.C Face and Body Foundation) and a concealer (can use M.A.C Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer) to cover where it is really necessary on your face.
3. Define eyebrows which will help make you look younger. (You can use M.A.C 212 Flat Definer Brush with M.A.C Eye Shadow in Concrete).
4. Swirl a coral cream blush (You are able to use M.A.C Crème blend Blush in Lady blush) on to your cheeks and tap the color down with your fingertips for a better accent.
5. For Eye shadow, apply a taupe cream shadow (You can use M.A.C Pro Longwear Paint Pot and Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadow), being sure to diffuse the color as you blend upward without any harsh lines. This paint gives your eyes a natural glow, and you don’t even have to worry about the fake blood affecting your face.
6. Define the creases, sculpt the sockets of your eyes, and apply eye shadow along your outer lash lines as well for added depth.
7. Top your eyes with shimmer by using a pink pigment (You are able to use M.A.C Pro Glitter Reflects Red or Bobbi Brown Sparkle Eye Shadow in Ballet Pink) all over your eye lids, concentrating most of the sparkles in the center.
8. Apply Top Mascara and Bottom Mascara. (You can use M.A.C Haute & Naughty Lash or Haute & Naughty Lash).
9. Swipe on Lip Gloss. Apply a slick, sheer, off-red gloss on your lips, like M.A.C Tinted Lipglass in Viva Glam I or Stila Lip Glaze in Cranberry.
10. Smudge on mascara. To take the look to the next level, continue by smearing mascara onto your lids and underneath your eyes. Make it appear like you’ve been crying.
11. Make mascara run by adding water.
12. Tap a wet makeup brush onto the mascara smudges to create blackened tears. The more water you can load up onto the brush, the better it will look.
13. Apply fake blood. Just no comments.
14. Complete the blood- soaked look with an askew tiara, vengeful eyes, and a demented smirk!
Every Halloween, makeup takes on a different meaning, but we always try someone new and special. Unlike mask, makeup can transforms you in an unpredictable way.
Black Widow can’t be named as a classical figure of Halloween, but still has an influence on Halloween’s Fashion. So here are steps that indicate how to make you a Queen of Spiders.
1. Cover eyebrows. Spread over the brow in the direction of hair growth. Cover with white cream makeup (can use Party City White Cream Make Up). Using black cream makeup (like Party City Black Cream Make Up), paint high, arching brows and extend the color up dramatically, shading above your brows.
2. Apply a thin line of eyelash adhesive to back of false eyelashes, carefully press into place along lash line of each eye.
3. Using black cream makeup or mascara, line each eye.
4. Outline your lips with red lip liner and after that fill your lips with red lipstick (can use Party City Red Lipstick).
5. Use gel to slick back your hair.
6. Using special glue and attach plastic spiders to your face.
7. Finish your look with gloomy manicure – sharp red or long black nails.
And it’s finished. As you see, this Halloween you can try something new and special for your Halloween Party. Amaze your friends and become the Surprise of the Halloween. Good luck!
Everybody knows that jewelry was and still remain as a very important accessory for women, which is an indispensable part of her style. You may be wondering what is the most fashionable jewelry of autumn 2014? And in this case I will propose just to check the main trends in jewelry for the coming season.
As I say, the modern fashion world is a very contradictory thing that just loves to challenge society. Just imagine: while we do our best in minimizing our lives, fashion acts exactly in the opposite way. A proof of this phenomenon consists in the appearance of the massive chains as part of most jewelry and fashion accessories for this autumn. The chunky massive chain is making a strong return for this autumn, and although it’s an allusion to a clear throwback to ‘90s hip-hop style, you don’t have to possess Rihanna’s courage to put them on.
For several seasons in a row, designers abound ideas of hold thicker and large jewelry with the elements of massive chains. And even though massive chains are presented by a variety of materials (like gold, platinum, silver and other alloys of different colors), there is one only mandatory element: a chain or, sometimes, an allusion of it. Besides the precious materials or their similarities, today’s chains can be composed of plastic, textiles, leather, and so on. Some materials that are woven into jewelry, that gives to the accessory an unusual, original, and attractive appearance. If you take a closer look at the fashionable chains of this season, you will understand the main idea: the larger it is and the more numerous levels the chains have, the better it is for autumn fashion time.
Basically, bracelets and necklaces with massive chains are frequent guests of autumn-winter shows. Therefore, this season such well-known fashion houses as Moschino, Chanel, and Just Cavalli show different versions of the main trend of season’s accessories.
And now I would like to offer you some advices – how to implement this accessory to your everyday ensemble in the best way:
1) Among this kind of bracelet even a strict dress or costume will look fresh and coolly. Don’t be afraid to combine bold jewelry with a classic suit.
2) These accessories must be either one or two or an uncountable number.
3) Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and even rings with massive chains – improvise as you want.
4) Chains seem to you a little aggressive? Lace additions and element of flowers, hearts, or other nice things may help you improve the impression about your look.
First Fashionable Aid:
1) Christian Lacroix expressed his favor for the rock or punk style, presenting a collection of jewelry with the massive chain, decorated with pendants and crosses.
2) Jewelry house Tiffany & Co in the new season pleases us with many variations of gothic cuff bracelets (and not only bracelets)!
3) Use a massive chain as a belt (Balmain recommends to us)
4) Roberto Cavalli advises all fashionable ladies to reel in the long metal chain from their clutch’s or their bag’s and turn them into a spectacular bracelet.
Don’t be afraid to look a little scary for others. Keep calm, ’cause it’s autumn coming.

Do you love going to the thrift store or local consignment shops?
Finding vintage or thrift items and incorporating them into your everyday wardrobe is not difficult. If you are going to the thrift store and you feel like you are never finding anything, keep reading and I will give you some tips to always find something while shopping in the thrift store.
Finding vintage or thrift items and incorporating them into your everyday wardrobe is not difficult. If you are going to the thrift store and you feel like you are never finding anything, keep reading and I will give you some tips to always find something while shopping in the thrift store.
1. Understanding sizes, realizing that some of the items you may find were made during a different time period will help you understand why a size 10 looks like a 6, so before you purchase either try the piece on or be able to eye ball it whether it will fit you or not, you never want to go home and wash it and when it’s time to wear it you are not able to fit the item.
2. Know your sale day if something is half off you will not hesitate to purchase it. A lot of thrift stores have VIP member cards which allow you to receive discounts on specific days; also there are color sale days which mean if the item has a blue tag it will be 50% off. And some even have 5 cent shirt days. So talk to your local thrift store and take advantage of all the awesome sales.

3. Take your time, if you are overwhelmed by crowds or unorganized racks full of clothes take a deep breath and take it on rack at a time. Don’t move too fast, you might miss out on an awesome piece. Don’t just show up and expect to find exactly what you want within 20 minutes.
Have fun while thrifting and good luck finding some good pieces. A tip while wearing thrift or vintage items, don’t wear them all at once. Also you can donate clothes to some of your local thrift stores.
We are so inspired by all the creative talents that will and have graced our pages. We leave you with our inspirational piece from our third issue: Beauty Issue
