LA LA LOUIS VUITTON FALL 2008
2008-03-05 20:26:03
The spring flowers are not ready to peek through the ice and snow, but here we are fast forwarding to Fall 2008 runway fashions with the Louis Vuitton show. Marc Jacobs is such a hottie that it's hard for a girl to keep her eyes glued to the models, but my efforts paid off as I spotted a wild pair of very high heel red wedges in what may or may not have been an exotic skin. The pattern on the shoes resembled eel skin, and I'm not even certain if they were Marc Jacobs shoes. They were quite a pair with a pale dusty blue color which was an unexpected but wild combination as stated by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Wedge heels and platforms seem to be the style that's coming our way. Not surprisingly, Marc Jacobs designed some classic styles that we saw a few decades ago being worn with platforms an


HOW TO APPLY EYELINER like AMY WINEHOUSE
2008-03-04 13:50:48
Whenever a celebrity breaks out with bold, black eye makeup we are hit with loads of questions on how to apply eyeliner. The average lady might not want to wear such dramatic black eyeliner during the day or for that matter; every evening. But the principals of applying eyeliner are basically the same no matter whether you prefer wide eyeliner designs, smudged lines or a thin almost invisible look. Many instructional videos are filled with helpful tips and techniques including more dramatic styles such as is preferred by many movie stars to highlight their eyes when on the stage as well as singing or rock stars like Amy Winehouse. The use of eyeliner is not limited to girls, some male stars like the look of heavy black eyeliner on the top lid as well as under their bottom lashes. T


AMERICAN IDOL'S JASON CASTRO - DREDS or DREADS
2008-02-27 12:54:43
When I quiz my friends on their opinions of the outfits, makeup and hairstyles of the previous night's American Idol episode, we usually agree on the winners and losers of the evening. Today was unusual in that on the issue of Jason Castro's dreadlock hairstyle the votes were split pretty much down the center. Some of the girls who are much more trendy that I could ever dream to be and whom I expected to consider the appearance of dreds to be cutting edge and stylish were surprisingly opposed to this cute guy's fashion statement. One gal pal said if he'd cut the hair that he'd be her favorite hands down, and another said she'd rather see the return of the huge 70s style afro rather than Marley dreds. Some of my more conservative (unofficial of course)voters who are sticklers for classi


IF "BITCH" IS THE NEW BLACK WILL EVERYBODY BE WEARING PANTSUITS?
2008-02-24 12:51:44
Can Hillary Clinton possibly appreciate all the "Bitch is the New Black" jokes going around? Does she even know that the statements are directed at her and depicting her as a power hungry, ball busting masculine sort of femme fatale in a designer skirt or pantsuit. Does she really care? Probably not! She has not become so well positioned politically by being thin skinned and sweating the small stuff. If she will focus on the big picture of building this country back to the level of greatness in the world that it once enjoyed the same way she has tunnel visioned her way into the political spotlight....hang on people we're going up like a rocket. But then again, this blog is not about the political arena. Leave running the country to experts. I have had ever so much fun observing Hill


TIPPI HEDREN's French Twist Hairstyle - Star of Hitchcock's THE BIRDS Blonde Formal Updo
2008-02-23 19:58:08
Few movie stars wear the updo as well as Tippi Hedren and a few other celebrities from the early 60s. Those were the days when people dressed up to go to the laundry. A trip to the grocery store was deserving of fresh lipstick and updo hairstyles. The French Twist hairstyle that she had when she starred in Alfred Hitchcock 's The Birds movie should be studied carefully by hairstylists of today who need French twist instructions. All artists should practice and perfect this style because it is a classic and there will always be a special occasion that calls for it. Wherever there is a red carpet, there will be French Twists and updos. Celebrity hairstyles may be tweaked and updated, but the basics are the same. I'm not fond of the "wings" that stylists of the 50s and 60s put on each s

FORMAL EYE MAKEUP TIPS from TAYLOR SWIFT'S TEARS ON MY GUITAR VIDEO
2008-02-22 22:12:01
Taylor Swift's eyes looked fabulous in the Tears on My Guitar music video. The appearance was very formal but almost gothic with the wayt that the liner was drawn. I knew that we needed some ideas and pointers, but I didn't have a clue on where to find resources and instructions for individual stars makeup colors. Then I found this free video giving eye make up tips so that our eyes can be just as pretty as Taylor Swift's! The makeup artist appears to have hazel green cat eyes and the smokey, dramatic eye makeup simply looks stunning on her. Plus, she makes it look so darn easy! One of the tricks that I see her use that I've simply got to put into place is that she doesn't dab around with small brushes; she has giant fine, hair brushes and she isn't afraid to use them. The results


ARE WE READY FOR GUCCI FALL 2008?
2008-02-22 19:17:09
This video gives us a preview of what's going on in the world of Gucci. The discussion draws lots of discussion to Anita Pallenberg. Her large smokey eyes gives the rock and roll chick a fabulous, timeless look harking to days gone by and yet she looks stunningly cutting edge and modern. It's messy, unkempt in a difficult to achieve fashion. Eyes that took hours to design and perfect, but that have been out clubbing. The long red hairstyle and fringed leather takes us back to the boho days of the late 60s or early 70s patchwork fashions. The commentators are throwing out names like Marianne Faithful and I'm reeling from the long, loose hairstyles that the models are sporting! You almost expect Grace Slick followed by the ghost of Janice Joplin to come sliding down the catwalk!


Is Natasha Sizow Bisexual?
2008-02-22 12:00:40
From the news we read that there's a new student/teacher scandal. Why on earth would Natasha Sizow, a teacher, send photos of herself naked or nearly naked to both boy students as well as girl students? Is she mixed up about her sexuality or is she bisexual or does she believe in equal opportunity corruption of kids? I'm not sure what this latest sexual scandal is supposed to tell us. Natasha Sizow allegedly used her cellphone's camera to take sexy, semi-nude or pics of herself in various stages of undress to two students who have been rumored to be both male and female. She has been reported to have turned herself into the authorities and has been booked with mugshots of her in this video. What are the parents going to do about nasty teachers? Does anybody feel that the profession o


JENNIFER LOPEZ HAS HER TWINS - VIDEO!
2008-02-22 11:46:57
Finally we hear that Jennifer Lopez has had her twins! Yes, it's possible that a beautiful angel like J Lo gives birth just like mere mortals; just with a lot more security paparazzi invading her privacy. The breaking news is that a sweet boy and a girl has been delivered and we can't wait for pics! The press will be haunting the outside of the hospital and every other location for months to come hoping for photos of the happy celebrity mom and dad with their newborn twins in tow. I found this film footage and thought that if my visitors wanted videos I'd satisfy their desires. It's not just some old pics of Jennifer in one of her amazing maternity outfits, there's some video footage of the announcement and other stuff that you may find interesting.

Dooney and Bourke Giraffe Drawstring Bags - Giraffe Purses with Pizazz
2008-02-22 11:36:34
Extra Roomy Giraffe Print Pockets Weekender I heard it said by one of Oprah's wardrobe makeover experts one day that animal prints go with everything. While I don't think you can mix a cheetah print with a spring floral fabric, I will say that the addition of an exotic animal print brings a hot, sexy jungle look to a woman's ensemble. The various species of faux animal prints are stylish and fashionable according which celebrity is seen out on the town wearing them. At the moment, Dooney and Bourke Giraffe Drawstring Bags which offer the matching checkbook cover, clutch purse and wallet are considered to be the sophisticated diva's fashion friend. You can add these bags to outfits in deep, mysterious, dark chocolate brown with accents of blood red for drama. Even the small, (but

LARGE CELEBRITY FRAMES - BIG SUNGLASSES WORN BY MOVIE STARS
2008-03-15 21:10:12
"Have you seen those big sunglasses that everybody’s wearing?" I suppose each generation thinks they are the first to sport lenses that are so huge they could almost be called windshields or sunscreens instead of glasses. However, even I have to say that we haven’t seen designer shades this big in quite a few years.Some fashion columns are making the statement that Jackie Kennedy Onassis was the last diva that wore glasses this large. She might have been the last super sophisticated lady that wore them, but the fashion has never really gone away. There are always those who feel more chic with their eyes and therefore their emotions shaded in mystery. Jackie O was just one famous face that I can remember taking measure of the world from behind smoked glass lenses. There have been man


MAC MAKEUP COUPON CODE
2008-04-20 09:58:00
It's ridiculous what people are charging for shipping a tiny envelope filled with cosmetics. Some Ebay merchants charge an arm and a leg for packing and services as well as postage. I've paid as much as 5.99 (do they think that I think I'm getting a freebie by knocking off one penny to avoid six bucks?) for an eyeliner that weighed a few ounces! There was a time when a discount shipping offer barely made a spot on the radar of discount bargain shoppers searching for completely free product samples and buy one get one free offers. Nowadays we are paying more attention to those sneaky, high shipping fees and we realize that free shipping can offer significant discounts. Use this MAC COUPON CODE for free standard shipping: BRUSH. There is no minimum purchase required to take advantage o


BEST GEL EYELINER TIPS and TECHNIQUES
2008-04-21 22:35:44
Not being blessed with lovely, large eyes and long lashes has pushed me to be pretty dependent on eyeliner. I once considered giving permanent eyeliner tattoos a shot but chickened out; I was that sick of eyeliner that had no need for an eyeliner smudger. It smudged, creased and ran very well all on its own. It just never stayed put. For a eyeliner styles that give a smokey look with undefined edges, it's hard to beat pencils or crayons if you are brave. But it's just hard to beat liquid color applied with a brush for a dramatic look. For a retro look, I have used a technique that involved a broad band of white and a thin black line closer to my lashes. Lookout Twiggy, we're going back to the 60s! If you exercise or shed the occasional tear you will appreciate gel eyeliner. Even


CELEBRITY STYLES and the HOBO BAG
2008-04-25 23:02:17
What sets the celebrities apart from the rest of us where wardrobe is concerned is often the fact that they don't seem to let the fact that they may only have one outfit that looks fabulous with any one pair of shoes or an expensive handbag that doesn't match but one outfit. When I saw this yummy robin's egg blue hobo bag, I began to run over how many dresses or suits that I could wear it with to justify the price. Blue, pink and white look wonderful with basic black, right? Not to mention khaki, saddle brown and many other colors. Let this be reminder to us all that we don't have to stick with basic brown or black leather purses to get our money's worth. This scrumptious baby blue hobo bag will be so much more eyecatching than a plain old hobo handbag in a lesser color, don't you thin


ARE JAMIE LYNN SPEARS' SHOES HOT or NOT?
2008-05-13 13:54:06
In a photo seen online of Jamie Lynn Spears, one has to ask whether her outfit was hot or because she was sporting a pregnant tummy; not hot at all. My problem with the outfit was not that it left her shoulders naked or that her fuller than usual breasts could have born a little more support to look more perky and controlled, but that Jamie Lynn Spears feet were in a pair of sexy shoes that look


Kate Spade Handbags and Wallets
2008-08-29 13:17:41
I'm not waiting until I pick up on that telltale hint of fall. Kate Spade handbags tend to sell out and disappear from the marketplace only to show up on the arms of stunningly dressed females that outpaced me in the competition for the latest in stylish purses and wallets.Last year I had my eye on Kate Spade black patent tote handbag except I couldn't find what I had in mind. I either waited too

Cinderella shoes are perhaps the best place to start assembling your ensemble worthy of would be royalty and the good news is that the modern style of glass slippers is unbreakable and doesn’t revert to carpet shoes at the stroke of midnight. Another nice characteristic of Cinderella glass slippers is that there are


TRENDY, NEW ANKLE BOOTS
2008-09-23 13:24:14
At first glance, the trendy, new ankle boots for fall may not seem that evolved from the shoe booties that were so hot last fall. But, digging deeper you start to see the details that are going to make the new offerings so unique and fashionable you will be motivated to get out and make a few installments to your shoe closet's inventory. As you can see, the use of metal studs, buckles and big z


PERMANENT EYELINER - Eyeliner Tattoos: Cool or Too Painful
2008-09-16 13:40:49
I have really been considering permanent eyeliner but there a few things holding me back from jumping on board and getting my eyeliner tattoos done. First off there's the issue of pain (anybody that tells you that tattoos don't hurt at least a little, depending on the area of application, is lying to you!) and I'm a sissy when it comes to pain. The idea of a tattoo artist working my wrist, my ar
