Backstage antics...or lack of!

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of the world’s most glamorous catwalk shows? As much as we would love to reveal a scandalous world of tantrums and catfights the reality is far less exciting, especially for the models. Check out these shots of Elite girls behind the scenes at the couture shows...backstage must haves include: ipod, phone, snack, book and a cup of tea!

Leopard Nails by Sally Hansen Nail Effects

My love for nail art, leopard print, and drug store makeup all collided this weekend with a fun DIY project. It also just so happened that it was so cold out that the only option was to cozy up inside, spend probably too much time doing nails, and watching movies. These Sally Hansen Nail Effects Polish Strips are a clear rip on Minx and OPI's Chic Prints for Sephora, but they're cheaper and available at your friendly Duane Reade so I was sold. The application process was not as easy as I had hoped and I was skeptical of them even lasting through the weekend, but here I am 4 days later, still loving the perfect metallic leopard print. Next time I'll go for the denim print for a complete Texas tuxedo.
