Louis Vuitton Fall 2013 - Belles of the Boudoir


The Louis Vuitton runway transformed into a dimly lit, old world hotel hallway for Marc Jacob's debut of his Fall 2013 Collection during Paris Fashion Week at the Louvre... 
I know, we wish we were there too. 
With disheveled hair and brooding expressions the models channeled Italian actress Anna Magnani.


 Each model appeared behind one of 50 doors to give viewers an intimate and somewhat voyeuristic experience of the mysterious and provocative woman behind the hotel room door. 


Louis Vuitton runway shows have long been about the experience, transporting the viewer to another time and place, and this season Jacobs did not disappoint. For this collection, he wanted to encapsulate the femme fatale and what she would wear, or not wear, whilst sneaking into different hotel chambers in the middle of the night. 


The results were half dressed, effortlessly glamourous and sexy looks that could be converted from nightgown, to day, to evening wear.










The accessories were label free, a trend seen with more and more luxury labels as they try to test the strength of their brands sans logos (i.e. Saint Laurent's departure from Yves).


Kate Moss made an epic appearance on the runway, accompanied with applause from the crowd.
True to bed time form, Marc Jacobs wore pajamas from his men's fall 2013 collection. Oh and by the way, Marc will be celebrating his 50th birthday next week and I think we can all agree he has never looked better!
Marc Jacobs thoroughly impressed us this season, creating a collection that not only addresses the effortlessly chic woman, but also speaks to the darker, more mysterious side, which we Drobers know is in all of us.

The Daily Drobe: Blizzard, Who? Blizzard, What? Blizzard, Where?


Once again NYC was over prepared... with warnings of a blizzard, most of us were looking forward to find the streets covered in white, but alas, twas a grey morning today.
As always, your Drobe Team was avidly prepared with the perfect blizzard look.
Don't fret, even if it's only going to snow for about ten minutes tonight, we better we would share this perfection with you.
You can wear it today, save it for next November or better yet, pack it in your cutest T. Anthony Luggage and jet off to Vail or Sun Valley, where we just KNOW the snow is plentiful. Chic apres ski look over leggings on a day you most certainly didn't go skiing!?
Done and done.

Beautycounter - The Things We Wish We Knew AGES Ago



Drobers... never compromise your health in the name of beauty again! Being on the forefront of fashion goes hand in hand with being on the forefront of beauty, and with the launch of Beautycounter and sales starting today, TODAY is the first day of your new and highly improved healthy life.

The Beautiful CEO Gregg Renfrew at Beautycounter Launch in Haven's Kitchen at the NYC Private Launch
Thursday, February 28th, 2013
When it comes to being on the forefront of beauty, Gregg Renfrew CEO + Founder of Beautycounter is leaps and bounds ahead of the industry and thank goodness she is - reminding us that HEALTHY COUNTS!! We learned some scary things about what hides behind our favorite soaps, skin creams, foundations, and even lipsticks. Oh and don't forget fragrance! That's right Drobers, they have done the homework for you.


1. Whether we realize it or not, we use between 12 to 20 beauty products every day, 365 days out of the year
2. Your skin absorbs about 60 percent of what you put on it, yet 80 percent of what you are putting on it has never been tested for safety. Many of these common chemicals have been linked to cancer, birth defects, and learning disabilities

The ever-so wise Carrie Bradshaw once said, 'I'm picky about my shoes and they only go on my feet'. So why aren't we pickier about our beauty products?! Renfrew boldly asked that question for health conscious human beings everywhere and reacted not only with an answer, but a solution... by demystifying the industry's issues, and producing a product.


Creating Beautycounter, Renfrew provides women and men with not only the knowledge, but also the tools to change the way beauty products affect our well-being with accessibly priced products. Her key initiatives?


And here is where it gets brilliant...as if it wasn't already... every product Renfrew created adheres to the strickest guidelines the beauty industry has ever seen. No ingredients, I repeat NO. INGREDIENTS. are used that have been linked to human health issues.  It's no wonder that incredible women such as Lela Rose, Amanda Nisbet and Bridget Moynahan are the faces you see when you look around the NYC launch.

A true entrepreneur, Renfrew wasn't just concerned about health. She recruited Christy Coleman, one of the industry's top makeup artists, to make sure these products performed at the highest level. Proving we don't have to sacrifice glamour for health.  Don't we do that enough already!!?

Not only is Beautycounter changing our lives for the better, it is run by some of the most intelligent, business savvy women our generation has ever seen. Beautycounter goes full circle by empowering women, providing them with valuable knowledge, and giving them the opportunity to then sell these products to the people they care about and share the experience!  That's right Drobers, you can shop and be one of this incredible company's consultants. AH!

This isn't just about beauty for us anymore, this is a movement. 1 in every 2 women is diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Beautycounter is changing the way we live and taking charge of our health and lifestyles. We think about what we put in our bodies, it's time we started thinking about what we put on them.  Next month, we will see Beautycounter's body care line, followed closely with Children's Care products on Mother's Day and keep an eye out for the color care make-up line coming out Fall 2013. 

BRAVO Gregg Renfrow, we couldn't be more excited about what you are doing. Drobers... join the movement with us and remember "the choices you make today, matter tomorrow". As Renfrow said, "Here's to beauty, here's to change"!
