Blogs!!!!!

It seems that the latest trend is blogging. Everyone seems to have a blog nowadays, even I have one!! Blogs have incresingly grown over the years. There are blogs on just about everything now. Blogs are a way for people to express how they feel about either themselves, the news, or pretty much the world. Some are also to help those who are in desperate need of some fashion advice.

In a way blogs are a good thing becuase other than just gossiping about nonsense, blogs can help with solving crimes as well. Hard to believe but its true, for example there are sick tormented people out there that have their own blogs and they sometimes have some information on their blogs that can help police find leads in their cases.

But for the most part, blogs are just for some clean fun, whether it being about writing about your day or dissing on what a celebrity was wearing at a premiere. Blogs are here to stay might as well get yourself one.

Is Natural now Better?

Have you heard that George Clooney has broken up with his waitress girlfriend? The rumor is that the reason why he broke up with her because she had decided to get a boob job. If it is true does this mean that cosmetic surgery is becomoing less and less popular? I dont know about everyone else, but boob jobs are being less and less mentioned. I remember when it became really popular and everyone was getting them done by now nothing.

Now it seems like everyone has decided to go natural and it also seems thats the way men want it now. Women ae now starting to accept the way they are and they are rocking it. In my opinion, I am glad that natural is now better. I dont think that women should be trying to change the way their body is. If you have small boobs, well at least look at it this way, they wont sag as much when you get older!! lol =)

Make your Wardrobe Season-Proof

When you are a gazillionaire, sure it's easy to buy an etire new wardrobe for every season, but when money is tight or you have a budget, all you need to do is make your wardrobe season proof. How can do that you ask? Well there are some simple to steps to do this. All you have to do is to make you that in your wardrobe you have basic, classy garments. There is nothing wrong with having basic in your wardrobe because first it is a must and second because it never goes out of style.

The key is that not only must the clothes be seasonless but trendless as well. Trends dont last very long so this is why one must avoid trendy garments. I know what you must think, that basics are so boring looking. Well this is where you are wrong. As long as you know how to accessorize then instead of looking boring you will look like a million dollars without having to spend the million dollars.

After surfing the web, I came across an article that will help many women out there that dont know how to dress for a wedding. http://fashion.about.com/cs/tipsadvice/a/weddingguest.htm is the website to visit when it comes to finding the perfect outfit for a wedding. Here you will be able to find fashion do's and dont's for a wedding.

But still if your man does not know what to wear, then have him visit the same website for some quick style tips.

Learn the Lingo: Teen Fashion Style

It's a lot harder for parents nowadays to understand their teenagers. With all the slang and abreviations of words, moms don't know what their teenagers are talking about. Well I have come across a website that has a teen fashion glossary. Parents should visit this website to find out what their teenagers mean when they say that they want a new pair of floods.

The website that Im talking about is http://www.fashion.about.com/. Once you visit that website then it would be a lot easier to understand your teenager when she says that she wants some timbs. This might possibly help moms update their style too!

How to Shop

I was reading an article that listed what was considered the proper way to shop. After going over the list it actually made perfect sense. The list was made to prevent any regrets also known as buyer's remorse. I believe that every women should go over this list beacause it will help a lot when it comes to finding the perfect clothing for one. This is what was listed on the list:

1. Shop by yourself or bring along a totally trusted, stylish friend (or your oh-so fashionable mom, in my case!)

2. Use the three-way mirror. What may look fabulous from the front could look totally drab from the back.

3. Dress/beautify for shopping so you don't look like a troll in the mirrors. Stick with your everyday makeup and jewelry.

4. Set a budget and don't budge!

5. Yeah, you're a junior: so what? If you wear a size 4 or smaller, try shopping in Girls' departments. For all sizes, the Boys' dept. has fabulous basics: tees, buttondowns, sweaters, etc.

6. Try a new store each time at the mall and shop out of your price range (under or over ) to find new looks.
7. Touch, touch touch. Garmentos judge an item by it's "feel."

8.Always try on and makeno exceptions.

9. Don't be in a hurry: allot enough time.

10. Make sure you have on the right undergarments, especially for formal dresses, camisoles, etc.

If I should Dye

I was reading in the Elle magazine and they have an article out about hair color. In the article they say that a lot of people are trying to avoid those crazy expensive touch ups at the salons and doing it themselves. One womans says " For single-process color, it seems like such a waste to spend money at a salon when I can get the same results at home." Even Kerry Daimond, Vice President of public relations for Lancome confessed that she even uses the 13.99 boxes whenever she spots her roots coming back in.

So a popular thing that everyone is doing nowadays is going to the salon once to get the color that they want and instead of going to the same salon, they are now going to CVS for the 13.99 boxes of hair dye to touch up on the roots.

Perez Hilton's Clothing Line Rejected by the Public

Have you heard that Perez Hilton was launching his own line? Neither have I. I was reading an article about how he was launching his own line in the Hot Topic Store in the Los Angeles mall last saturday. I found out that no one showed up to the launch event, NO ONE!!! lol This was what a Hot Topic employee that was there that night had to say about the event:

"Only 7 people showed up. Seven. That's it. Mario was BEYOND upset texting and DEMANDING the right water, food, etc. he was a rude royal pain in the ass and BEYOND crass... My manager was trying to get people to come in and meet Perex by handing out $5 gift cards NO ONE WANTED TO MEET HIM!! ...he left around 8:45 pm without saying goodbye to anyone and it had looked like he had been crying like the little bitch he is. we sold a grand total of $6.45 of Perez Hilton's items between 6pm-9pm. My manager has already talked about discounting his 'line'!"

I cant believe that Hot Topic believed that Perez Hilton's line was gonna do well. What were they thinking?!! Who would want to look like Perez?!!

Wedding Dresses Are No Longer Boring

In "The Knot" magazine Spring 2008 issue, the editor in cheif explains that brides are not wanting a tradtional wedding at all, they want something different. This goes for the dress as well. Brides are wanting change and dresses that are unique. Say goodbye for the traditional wedding dresses and say hello to funky fun dresses. Don't be surprised when you dont see the bride wearing the same dress for the enitre day.

Brides are going as far as to have a different dress for every part of their wedding. There are brides that have on a wedding dress for the actual ceremony, another dress for the reception, and another dress to dance the night away in. Can you say over-the-top? I understand wanting a dress to fit your personality, but why must they have a different dress for every hour of their wedding? That to me sounds a little crazy.

London's New Favorite Shopping Destination

London's fashionistas are willing to wait two hours to shop at the new Primark Store. This store carries fashionable clothing for women, men, and children. Clothes is not the only thing that they carry, they also carry home decor. This is a whole new department store.

At Primark one can find organic cotton tees for just 3 Euros for kids. You can also find backless mini-dresses for just 18 Euros. Alexandra Suhner found some tank tops and t-shirts for less than 5Euros. I see this department store doing well in the future. Hopefully they are willing to expand and bring the company over to the United States.

American Apparel

Last week I visited the American Apparel factory in Downtown LA. I was given a tour and I saw how everything was ran. I will say that I liked what I saw. The reason why I think American Apparel is so successful is because they have everything happening in one place. All there designers, marketing people, sewers, etc. are all located in one place, their factory.

Everything happens in that factory, from the design to the product being made, to photo shoots, and to being advertised. You can also tell that they care for their employees as well. There is a doctor's clinic located inside a factory. This clinic is not some little dinky clinic where the nurse just takes your temperature, this is a full on doctor clinic. They keep their employees happy.

Another reason why they are so successful is because their clothes are so compfortable. They choose the softest fabrics. And the way they make their garments they make sure that it fits the body the way it should. Plus their stuff is cute too!

American Apparel is here to stay and I dont see them going away anytime soon. As a matter of fact I think that other clothing companies should take some pointers from the way American Apparel run their company.

Funny Onesies

Funny onesies are becoming more and more popular. Why wouldn't they? They are funny. But should babies even be wearing them? Are they appropriate? There are onesies that say "my pee pee is bigger than yours" and there are ones that say "nice tits, can I try one?" Should parents be putting these onesies on their children just for a good laugh?

I personally like the funny onesies. I think that they are the cutest thing that a baby can wear. The onsies give the baby a personality. I say continue with the funny sayings!!!

Slides & Mules, They're Back

Slides & mules have definitely been of the radar for quite sometime now. But for some women slides and mules never left. You know those women of a certain age who think clanking around is a sign of sex appeal.

But enough about that, this spring season mules, slides, backless shoes are back. Donna Karan and Prada have out a new line of cute slides, mules, backless shoes, whatever you would like to call them. I personally would like to call them clankers. lol

Marimekko at H&M

There was an international awareness on Marimekko's designs when Jackie Kennedy wore the bold colors during her husband's presidency. Marimekko has always been known as a line with very bold colors and prints. Get some fast fashion added into the mix and you get a limited edition Marimekko collection in H&M stores.

The line can be described as a 1960's vintage inspired look. It has the bright, bold colors and prints that you would be able to find in the 1960's. There was a collection created for both men and women. The color combinations that will be seen will be red and pink; olive and orange; red and turquoise; red, white and black.

My Bag Cares

With everyone being eco-friendly, clothes are being made out of recyclable goods. Not just clothes, but accessories too. One the accessories that is becoming very popular and sells out quickly is a bag that states in big letters "My Bag Cares" right in front of the bag.

This bag is made out of natural fibers and shares you care for a greener planet. Everytime this bag is purchased, a tree will be planted in the name of the buyer. What better way to save the planet and be fashionable at the same time. It's chic to be smart.

Get Your Fall Wardrobe Ready

Stay away from getting clothes that show a lot skin and show off you butt crack, this fall sexy is all about having a sophisticated look. Elegance this season will be considered a more tailored that is feminine, rich, and regal, but never stuffy.

The colors to look for would be gray, purple, navy, teal, emerald, and a golderod shade. Leather will be in as well, leather jackets that is, but forget about the classic black leather. You will see leather in different colors this fall. So keep an eye out for that style because before you know it will be here soon.

Ray Ban Comeback?

It seems like the latest fashion in eye wear in France are those wayfarer sunglasses. The chic “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” Ray-Ban sunglasses that Audrey Hepburn made famous in 1961 made their comeback as a 1980’s downtown club trend, particularly when Madonna wore a pair of them.

Now you can see these fun little glasses being worn by people in paris. It is no longer those big bug-eyed glasses that are being worn. Is it coming back? I think that its making a comback and I think that's a good thing because we need new style in glasses, it's starting to get boring.

Summer Sandals

It seems that this summer's hottest accessory are sandals!! Where ever you go now you see nothing but women flashing their new sandals. Last year it was all about wearing cute little flats. Dont get me wrong, flats are still very cute, but many have thrown out their flats and are wearing sandals.

The hottest type of sandals are the gladiator stlye. These come in many different fun styles. There are even some that come close to the knee. So this year go out and get you some cute little gladiator sandals and you will be ready for the summer.
