2011 GRAMMY FASHION WRAP-UP

I'm sorry but last night's Grammy awards was really boring. Don't even get me started on the winners...let's jump into the fashion. Shall we?

BEST DRESSED:

Kimmy K is really nice to look at. She looked like a bootylicious golden statue last night. Very circa 1997 J.LO


Miss Kidman looked absolutely amazing in Jean-Paul Gaultier. Now I see why she's obsessed with mermaid style dresses-instant curves for her boyish frame.


J...TO THE LO. Hell-lo. That's a throwback to an old J.Lo song for the youngins. I know if it was an inch or two longer-PERFECTION.Those Christian Louboutin shoes...give me life. Divine!


SELENA GOMEZ,you look amazing! She kept it very sophisticated,sweet&sexy.She's wearing a J. Mendel gown.


HAD POTENTIAL:

Yes,Ciara has a sick bod but the top portion of the dress is just wacky. It flattens her boobs it's just not flattering at all.There was too much going on with the cuts on the sides,the front detail,different patterns,the shoes,the train...just NO!


Miley looks so grown up. I wish she'll do something different with her hair.A messy updo would've done this dress so much more justice. The dress is very shiny and heavily detailed so she didn't need the bracelets.Maybe just a nice cocktail ring?!


I love me some Katy Perry!!! Her song are addictive,she's cute& all about girl power. Now,I wish I could have snipped that train off her dress. And pulled the skirt up a little more so we can't see any peek-a-boo skin. Love u Katy :-)



WORST DRESSED:

Nicki Minaj wins this. WTF ARE YOU WEARING HB? Anyone that knows me well knows that I LOVE NICKI MINAJ but I can't support this. This...this Givenchy Leopard atrocity.
Waaah :(

I want to hear your opinions,Comment xoxo

DIOR SPRING 2011 COUTURE

I AM SPEECHLESS :O Beautiful...

Street Style is back!

New York

The baby pink blouse with a Utilitarian cargo pant gives a outfit a feminine yet tough look.


New York

The mix of textures and prints is a tricky thing. But the leopard cardigan compliments the tee and skirt instead of overwhelming it.


Melbourne

All black =classic not scary. The sheer and flats give it a more casual aesthetic.


Milan

How to wear a Camo jacket 101


Copenhagen

I love this....I don't know where to start. The two toned hair,the sunglasses,the Cindy Crawford mole. I'm in love:-)



Berlin

Shawls are a great to throw over and go in the fall and early winter time. As you can see,MEN can pull this off flawlessly.



London

Louboutins and a cape-Modern day Wonderwoman?


London

Acrylic sweaters are usually a no but this is an exception. Paired with leggings and peekaboo flats it creates a fun and comfy outfit.

XOXO

Thigh High/Over the knee Boots: Yay or Nay

Louis Vuitton
This may just be one of the biggest fashion debates of all time. Some may shudder at the very thought and others cannot resist the leathery temptation.The only problem is the designers don’t actually care about the implied eroticism of the thigh-high boots. In fact, they are frequently related to eroticism, boot fetishism, prostitutes and professional dominatrices, so it’s a good idea to know how to wear them properly.Sexy is not even the word...how about slightly cheeky aka slutty. But when there's a will there's a WAY!

Emilio Pucci
Ways to wear these boots:
.Long jackets w/skinnies,leggings
.Sweater Dresses
.Off the shoulder sweaters
.Ponchos
.Cardigans
Also try more demure colors like black, gray, brown, green and tan.Word to the wise ladies 5'4" under shouldn't wear these styles as it will you swallow you and make you look like puss in boots ***Yay,Shrek reference.

Antonio Berardi

Chloe

Giuseppe-Zanotti

I gotta go with...YAY! Proceed with caution

Trend Report

Hippie Headbands

For some odd reason this trend is coming back. I remember when I rocked this back in '08 and got some pretty weird looks all over Brooklyn. *Sigh*

How to Rock the Hippie Headband:
1. Part hair in either a straight part down the middle, or create a loose jig-jag part down the middle of your head.

2. Wrap a skinny headband around the top of your forehead, avoid tucking your hair behind your ears!

3. If you have bangs, wear the headband over your bangs.

4. Throughout the day/night check your headband and avoid mushroom head(:D) by tucking your hair in.

Multi-Color Nails
It must be the year of LOUD color everywhere-hair,nails,etc.I gave you all an example of my "Purple Zebra" nails a couple post below. It's fun,just try it. That's why they created polish remover!

Now your nails will always match your outfit..


Leopard Scarves
Any animal print (even Zebra) can be very classic and trendy when done in small amounts.

Scarf from Echo


Brown is the color
You must have an essential go to bag without print or any other distraction just for school or work. Trust me,it goes w/everything and looks S-H-A-R-P!

Burberry bag
Tip: Go Brown w/bags,boots and watches:)

Purple Eyeshadow

This a universally beautiful color on every skin tone. Hot Makeup look this fall!
