ALL GROWN UP

THERE ARE A LOT OF FASHION SHOOTS THAT WENT ON FOR THE SUMMER ISSUES OF MAGAZINES; BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT ONE OF MY FAVORITES HAS TO BE EMMA WATSON ON THE COVER OF VOGUE. THE PICTURES ARE JUST VERY FASHION FORWARD, NOT TO MENTION GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY (LIKE WE COULD EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE FROM VOGUE). HERE IS A LOOK INTO THE PHOTO SHOOT.

 

WHEN SHE FIRST STEPPED ON THE SCENE SHE BECAME INSTANTLY FAMOUS WITH HER BREAKOUT ROLE IN HARRY POTTER. WHEN THE FIRST MOVIE DEBUTED SHE WAS ONLY NINE YEARS OLD; AND NOW AT TWENTY ONE I THINK ITS SAFE TO SAY THAT SHE HAS MADE A COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION. HAS OF LATELY SHE BEEN DOMINATING THE RED CARPET WITH HER GORGEOUS SMILE AND EDGY HAIRCUT.

AFTER:

I'M SURE THAT WE WILL SEE HER SOON EVEN THOUGH THE HARRY POTTER SERIES IS COMING TO AN END. SHE HAS DEFINITELY EARNED HER TITLE AS THE NEWEST HOLLYWOOD DIVA.

The Feather Frenzy

One of the hottest things in fashion right now are feathers. Feathers worn in all types of ways; feathers on clothes, shoes, earrings, even feathers in the hair. So today I will show some of the hottest ways to follow the trend and discuss what not to do. First off the feather earrings. Here are some celebrity looks:

All of these are fab examples of the feather look. Except for one....(sorry Jessica Biel) ... When wearing this look it important to realize that it is going to enhance the look that you are wearing. So heads up you might want to make sure that it is a look that you want enhanced. Also look at the difference in Jessica Biel (Second from the left) and Vanessa Hudgens. The feather look is best pulled off with a hairstyle that is worn down but if you do decide to pull it up then the feathers should be bold, full, and vibrant.



Next we will show some of the feather hair extensions that so many are into. Once again there is a right way and a wrong way to do everything. Right? In my opinion not so much with feather extensions. To me, this look can do no wrong. It's great no matter how you wear it or what feathers you use.

Next we will move on to the feather dresses. There is definitely a wrong way to do this trend! Some people just get a little out of hand and it ends up looking more like a hot mess than a fashionable ensemble. We will start off with the wrong.

(I don't even think that I have to hit on all the points this a big No No!)











And the right way to wear it is:

In my opinion if you are going to wear a feather dress or skirt, then you need to have the top form fitting and solid. Feathers from head to toe is not cute; at all; in any way; I don't care how beautiful you are. Here are some additional dresses that I think are fabulously fashionable.














Now for the most amazing feather design that I have found.... I introduce you to the peacock wedding dress. If you would like to wear one of these for your wedding it would take 8 designers, 8 months, oh and about 1.5 million dollars.

BET Awards Fashion

I know that I previously stated that I would do a "Before the Fame' series and I still plan on finishing that but in the meantime I just wanted to do a quick break so that I could cover the Bet Awards red carpet fashion. This post will just be some of the looks; I will not go into opinionated detail but if you go to the Hot or Not page I will address it further.

Before The Fame

Since I've been noticing a strong trend recently of stars (especially in the music industry who have gone through complete transformations.) I will begin my series of Before the Fame. First on the list is Lady Gaga. Just a few years ago she was a brunette named Stefani.

She was actually strikingly beautiful. Well obviously she's still beautiful since she hasnt undergone any reconstructive surgery; but what
has drastically changed is her since of "fashion".








Outlandish as it is...majority will rule that will go down in history as a fashion icon and trend setter. Stepping to the beat of her own music here are some of Lady Gaga's most infamous fashion moments.

Most will say that she changed once she became famous and her outlandish and most times "naked" sense of fashion came after being on the top; but her are additional pictures of her before she was famous when she first started performing.

So...The final verdict? In my opinion I don't think that the fame has changed her. I think that it just gave the tools she needed to enhance what was already there. You be the judge. Was she just "Born This Way"?

Beyonce's new "Pulse"

Beyonce announced yesterday she is to release a new scent called Pulse; and if it's anything like the Heat series it is sure to be amazing. I must admit that with  the new trend of celebrities rushing to make their own scents I was a little skeptical when Heat first came out; but out of all the celebrity scents I have smelled I must admit this was one of the best. I would definitely recommend it. In an interview with Elle B stated "Women always tell me that my music makes them feel strong and confident, and Pulse is about finding that inner power." While I am sure that all are excited to give it a try they will not be on sell until September 2011. Check back frequently and be sure to follow because I will definitely do a giveaway. Here is the newly launched ad:

W magazine's first ever music issue

Next month W is doing it's first ever music issue. What better way to celebrate the occasion than to have Beyonce and Christina battle it out with double covers. While Christina's is definitely more artistic Beyonce's has a undeniable appeal to your fashion senses. So who rocked it better? You be the judge.
