Charlotte Ronson wanted the hair and makeup for her Fall 2013 collection to be as simple and easy to wear as the clothes coming down the runway. Sara Biria led the Sephora Pro makeup team with a Twiggy-inspired look, while the hair was styled into a low pony by Rafe Hardy for Sexy Hair.
The look: Simple and flirty.
The inspiration: 1960s London.
Who would wear it: The girlie-girl who needs a quick and easy look.
Charlotte Ronson's Fall '13 mix of sweet floral prints and rich hunter-green leather beckons you into the woods with a kind of modern schoolgirl charm. References to Ronson's cooler downtown girl were there, albeit with a girlier, retro twist made most obvious by Petula Clark's "Downtown" melody filling The Box at Lincoln Center as models made their way down the mini-catwalk. We still get Ronson's sportier side with mesh detailing and slouchy leather trousers, but it's the woodsy greens and downright adorable florals that draw you in.
It's only the second day of 20-13, so let's take a moment to reflect on what a year 2012 has been.

And through it all, they shared their top beauty tricks and tips. From Nicole Richie to Miranda Kerr and more, watch to see some of our favourite celebrity beauty advice from the year that was.

The celebrities of the fashion and beauty world had us yearning for summer this week as they taunted us with beautiful summer snaps via Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Whether they were partying it up with fellow fashion icons like Christine Centenera and Kate Bosworth in Sydney, stretched out on a speedboat like Bar Refaeli, striking a pose like Miranda Kerr (for Italian Vogue, if you don't mind) or getting proposed to in one of the coolest ways ever, we couldn't get enough of keeping up with these social media-savvy stars. That's just a fraction of what we saw, though — get clicking through the gallery to see everything else that went on this week!
As much as fashion week is about the clothes, there are plenty of stand out beauty looks to accompany them. We connected with celebrities, designers, and top models behind the scenes on what keeps them fresh-faced, bright-eyed, and perfectly coiffed during this biannual, week-long adventure in New York City. See which hairstyles Lauren Conrad is skilled at creating herself, the iconic hair spray Olivia Palermo can't live without, along with a few top tips from Victoria's Secret models.
Charlotte Ronson's models worked the runway with "dewy, perfect" skin to showcase her Spring 2013 collection, showing off clean faces with bushy eyebrows. Learn what Charlotte is most proud of when it comes to beauty in today's Beauty Beat — straight from New York fashion week.
We'll gladly get behind the I-just-rolled-out-of-bed look, as long as the results look this good. Looking as nearly natural as can be, Charlotte Ronson's cool girl visits a kingdom by the sea for Spring 2013.
The look: Strong brows, nude lips, and hair with a case of the bends.
The inspiration: The ocean, which gave rise to Ronson's collection.
Who would wear it: Easygoing girls who love the beach (or just want to look like they do).
For the sportier styler who dares to appeal to her girlie-girl underneath, Charlotte Ronson has just the solution. Her signature mix of kitschy heart prints and sweet florals — this time, in romantic waterlily and daisy iterations — headed to the high school locker room for a decidedly athletic makeover. Think mesh-infused cap-sleeved dresses with an ultra-pretty trumpet hem, sheer peplum blouses (in the most delicate shade of lemon-meets-eggshell yellow) and sportif vest pairings, old-school varsity jackets, and drawstring bucket bags to start. And if you're craving an easy offset to her ladylike sports vibe, look to the subtle undertones of nautical-inspired wares within, albeit slick ones. We can already predict we'll be clambering for a pair of the dark leather sailor shorts, adorned with gold buttons, and for that matter, trying to get our hands on that two-in-one herringbone-striped tote backpack.
