Former Supermodel Iman, is an entertaining host who understands design. The competion has highlighted some wonderful Canadian talent. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOhAoTQ70h96Uit56ZlBKcpnloUNSWpZMohmEC_Bn6iB-nbx6zJpFsMyyZNAg45XrgWnUl9JCWSZX77RdQLnhO-XYwDlxoS3uEp1NK3JuZPjtCe3gR1vyS65AmWv5E4ConD-JJ5b5LinQ/s1600-h/lucian.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOhAoTQ70h96Uit56ZlBKcpnloUNSWpZMohmEC_Bn6iB-nbx6zJpFsMyyZNAg45XrgWnUl9JCWSZX77RdQLnhO-XYwDlxoS3uEp1NK3JuZPjtCe3gR1vyS65AmWv5E4ConD-JJ5b5LinQ/s400/lucian.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134004531257147186" /></a><br />Lucian is a designer who is originally from Romania, but he has settled in Canada. With his exquiste tailoring, he has been my favourite designer throughout the competition. He has been critiqued for too much embellishment, but he has a distinctive style that you either love or hate. I personally love it. He is a perfectionist, whose work is always feminine and haute couture. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh7LhtgDEO2BD56ter6fGvK_V_-YRja2BbghU2cOTaodBpmDKQHF4pCNJxp02N1Vsscq9oYFE7nCwZYSW20gKbSflrMIGRmfUMBsjrN0XEk6LBBKqRXqwoxVfS5sU8hpPVWqrMeH0cwlk/s1600-h/shernett.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh7LhtgDEO2BD56ter6fGvK_V_-YRja2BbghU2cOTaodBpmDKQHF4pCNJxp02N1Vsscq9oYFE7nCwZYSW20gKbSflrMIGRmfUMBsjrN0XEk6LBBKqRXqwoxVfS5sU8hpPVWqrMeH0cwlk/s400/shernett.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134004539847081794" /></a><br />Shernett Swaby is a successful designer who has her own line and store "Swaby". She is the most focused designer on the show She is extremely determined to win, and I think she could pose a serious threath to Lucian. Her casual outfits are always wearable and stylish. However, her eveningwear tends to be too theatrical and not very flattering.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQZpij-1Rrj80RpPcFHe11jBMjhVLAfPBRBMidrRZgYz81ePNYptpFipV0rcSZd4dq0d5RwpKAPqg8bkTPm5tt6qQmkCkWdwnsBj7Y5XWlR-eDcPQOKG5gx8NNNfCvflqRR7iaaLltF-w/s1600-h/carlie.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQZpij-1Rrj80RpPcFHe11jBMjhVLAfPBRBMidrRZgYz81ePNYptpFipV0rcSZd4dq0d5RwpKAPqg8bkTPm5tt6qQmkCkWdwnsBj7Y5XWlR-eDcPQOKG5gx8NNNfCvflqRR7iaaLltF-w/s400/carlie.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134004187659763490" /></a><br />Despite Megan's sloppy tailoring and unimaginative design she has continued to be passed through each stage of the competion at the expense of talented designers. On the 6th episode, Carlie was let go for poor execution of her design. This was very disappointing. I had picked Carlie to be one of the top three.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKhcsQEIatEGDOknY3atWa3HotYjSDODuiwgU10EKiIoBeSOk42MFlZIWt4o91drVZHCVTMWo0wZ0XTHWlWQfWPQyaW5NUIth3JCwKvKJxdf3rc58tDMH-uXq_rAsmFWhnPFLnKK2u5iw/s1600-h/bidell.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKhcsQEIatEGDOknY3atWa3HotYjSDODuiwgU10EKiIoBeSOk42MFlZIWt4o91drVZHCVTMWo0wZ0XTHWlWQfWPQyaW5NUIth3JCwKvKJxdf3rc58tDMH-uXq_rAsmFWhnPFLnKK2u5iw/s400/bidell.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134002770320555794" /></a><br />In place of Carlie, my next choice is Bidell. He has a street style, which reminds me of former Project Runway winner Jeffery Sebelia. He is a very fast worker, who does a lot of creative designs. I would love to own the skinny fit pants with the puff pockets.Jaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16088540779683687077noreply@blogger.com43tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489186653920012809.post-31863169180905237382007-11-15T18:54:00.000-08:002008-12-09T21:12:14.634-08:00Hot Winter LookIt gets boring wearing the same coat, day in and day out through the long winter months. The alternative to buying a new coat is warming up your winter look with expressive accessories. I wouldn't suggest wearing all these accesories at once. Instead buy a couple of scarves, belts and a great brooch and mix and match two pieces at a time. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMhmTsbvf3kI4qTPmg-Pa7IbiyKmKqQjY-2jEIm13jVDGRgWSdkfVXIrzB-MUelcNjEQEUPvMpqymJFb6ZXJiRhEFp7ZkuvmCk-aFjDnpmV6QgMym2dJQa6rEh1syBKU6IK5BcaDgzvb0/s1600-h/coat.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMhmTsbvf3kI4qTPmg-Pa7IbiyKmKqQjY-2jEIm13jVDGRgWSdkfVXIrzB-MUelcNjEQEUPvMpqymJFb6ZXJiRhEFp7ZkuvmCk-aFjDnpmV6QgMym2dJQa6rEh1syBKU6IK5BcaDgzvb0/s400/coat.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133537664017104642" /></a><br /><br />The best winter accessory this season is the silk scarf. Silk scarves are more colourful and stylish than traditional knit ones. They brigthen up your overall look. If you need the extra warmth of a traditional knit scarf, you can still get a fashionable look, by using classic patterns like hounsdtooth, plaid and animal print or even solid bright colours.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEDTaEIcwnmo90r9VtAqILCTeK-WXBAg6dfkWfw7_7Pcvndg1_qAUIeMVpgeDgVcVSNTcWJd3a_irsyfZgvh8BueZ0a80rh65WGcJkfezrs_m-kXt2CimLXxzxE1dZrt7homgVPpy0fKA/s1600-h/scarves.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEDTaEIcwnmo90r9VtAqILCTeK-WXBAg6dfkWfw7_7Pcvndg1_qAUIeMVpgeDgVcVSNTcWJd3a_irsyfZgvh8BueZ0a80rh65WGcJkfezrs_m-kXt2CimLXxzxE1dZrt7homgVPpy0fKA/s400/scarves.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133521549299810018" /></a><br />A) Mauve Leaf 18"x72" Satin Chiffon Shawl $79.00 Deebozzz.com<br />B) Veronica Long Silk Scarves $36.00 Belsi.com<br />C)Houndstooth scarf $49.50 Bananarepublic.com<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9tOuXohnuDqwM8HhY_O1mq5EtSon7HHdAnxTm85ZEa6j0SSBSY9749fgZF1oF399fxVPP667XpMUiVdXT-DO79vo4FSkmhQ_ofyctPiJP49WpP8K2eXLMPsLcUs0ekpFjSSu3gAhaIYQ/s1600-h/belts.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9tOuXohnuDqwM8HhY_O1mq5EtSon7HHdAnxTm85ZEa6j0SSBSY9749fgZF1oF399fxVPP667XpMUiVdXT-DO79vo4FSkmhQ_ofyctPiJP49WpP8K2eXLMPsLcUs0ekpFjSSu3gAhaIYQ/s400/belts.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133521502055169730" /></a><br />Corset belts with buckle detail are a flattering trend.

A beautiful brooch is a great investment, since it can be worn with many items and is a timeless classic. More than just pinning your brooch to your lapel, you can also attach it to your scarf to keep it in place. <br /><br />A) Sterling Silver Antiqued Marcasite Brooch 19.99 Limogesjewelry.com<br />B) Judith Jack 'Snowflake Special' Pin $125.00 Nordstrom.com<br />C) Blue Winged Swarovski Crystal Dragonfly Brooch $34.00 Silverme.comJaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16088540779683687077noreply@blogger.com336tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489186653920012809.post-59061286973563790222007-11-13T14:14:00.000-08:002008-12-09T21:12:15.091-08:00Sale Item of the Week: Chiffon Babydoll DressNormally, I don't like to use sale items in my trendsetter and shopping bag posts because there are limited sizes and quantities.

Granted, she is in great shape, but no one over the age of 25 should be wearing a lycra catsuit. The fact that she wore this to a fundraising gala, where formal or semi-formal attire is the dress code is more shocking. I can't believe she tried to dress it up with her blinged out watch and cross necklace and she just had to add that gaudy Fendi bag. Maybe she was trying to have fun with the outfit, but we are not amused!Jaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16088540779683687077noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489186653920012809.post-55443480742272350042007-10-30T12:58:00.000-07:002008-12-09T21:12:17.455-08:00Byblos Spring 2008 RTWItalian fashion house Byblos' latest collection is up to the Byblos standard.

Grey is definetly the colour of the season. I'm not sure how I feel about pairing grey with brown, but overall it is a good look. I find that men's fashions can often be repetitive, so the solution is to pay attention to detail. I choose pants which like Ne-yo's have some plaid detail. For the shoes I went with something daring- a grey purple crocodile embossed dress shoe. It is a subtle shade of purple but it makes the outfit look original without being outrageous.Jaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16088540779683687077noreply@blogger.com70tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489186653920012809.post-87374020819594804962007-10-25T12:56:00.000-07:002008-12-09T21:12:17.920-08:00Halle Berry Style<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUyEZzbs-4X2Rj4EW84aKdRqS3E2C-cxocAy3fQ2p1NOzjP2LrFiGhn3CyfNBZ2VfFfcrieV8BqbhPmtTCoa96E3dOtKX23Y8QEGVIkCfmGO6CiiFU1a6V0Ev7Fe6GVtoSWutTjIbjl1s/s1600-h/halle2.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUyEZzbs-4X2Rj4EW84aKdRqS3E2C-cxocAy3fQ2p1NOzjP2LrFiGhn3CyfNBZ2VfFfcrieV8BqbhPmtTCoa96E3dOtKX23Y8QEGVIkCfmGO6CiiFU1a6V0Ev7Fe6GVtoSWutTjIbjl1s/s400/halle2.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125367430736283154" /></a><br /><br />Halle Berry is definetly the hottness. She looks flawless at the premiere in London of her film Things We Lost in the Fire. I love her simple gold bangles and earrings. She is wearing a gown from the Versace Spring 2008 Ready to Wear Collection. The model is wearing the gown in yellow, the picture doesn't show the strap details, but I don't think it makes a difference.

The look is very feminine and delicate. Hair is curled or set in loose waves and the key make-up item is red lipstick. I strongly recommend having a make-up artist pick out the right shade of red lipstick for you. Since it is a very bold colour the wrong shade can look harsh, however the right shade looks dramatic and sexy.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNeudUHmYvPGSZ53aivRdrbqIq_l0CtBpSlHFtNDfE7jjnJb7mDHEK2AB3XOdHWklGC73NydHwV8Ziy6VazNSfTEMhQ95v9VCwdrvAw1A80l4chqqf-q7czEwWK2uEIXm1WPv0Lu2ryZc/s1600-h/curls.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNeudUHmYvPGSZ53aivRdrbqIq_l0CtBpSlHFtNDfE7jjnJb7mDHEK2AB3XOdHWklGC73NydHwV8Ziy6VazNSfTEMhQ95v9VCwdrvAw1A80l4chqqf-q7czEwWK2uEIXm1WPv0Lu2ryZc/s400/curls.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5123680305532516866" /></a><br /><br />Blouses with femine details such as bows and ruffles are pefect for getting the vintage look.

At the same time it is important to buy the pieces from the same store or brand to ensure that the colours are from the same dylot and that the materials are the same.<br /><br /><br />To get the maximum value out of your suit, wear the pieces seperately. Pair the blazer with jeans and flats for a more casual chic look. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghJSbNF3-gDganJ4Ab7Lt7L7rNS1XV9MUwDU0jZB0mfkI8Wk12-OMmOBPZBhhSVj2d1nAXyseLnkum1Oo8SsOCiu0OA6UZqs-V9M-oMLfJ_YFgwY9UrgYNoA1CIdGkKvzxHz7fk2o0p-M/s1600-h/blazer.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghJSbNF3-gDganJ4Ab7Lt7L7rNS1XV9MUwDU0jZB0mfkI8Wk12-OMmOBPZBhhSVj2d1nAXyseLnkum1Oo8SsOCiu0OA6UZqs-V9M-oMLfJ_YFgwY9UrgYNoA1CIdGkKvzxHz7fk2o0p-M/s400/blazer.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5077092253919310674" /></a><br /><b>A)Cotton chino blazer $168.00 Bananarepublic.com<br />B) Striped Tube Top $15.80 Forever21.com<br />C) Seven Jeans Farrah Stretch Jean $209.00 Shopbob.com<br />D) Corso Como Jala Blue patent flats $130.00 Piperlime.com</b><br /><br />Wear the trousers with a silk blouse and open toe d'orsay heels for a more dressy look.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipJtDPMk-WHBSvMRNzITqAudnkC5dZAsAQHbPw_KaSDHglGswbCDmHRreH2derM81nCFTKfcZ98AtRNdjRpHc8hIGAMlNXFfC9x8g4qq85_ZU9j6EmudmoQL7514lJQ0OT33Vr3xJwkk8/s1600-h/pants.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipJtDPMk-WHBSvMRNzITqAudnkC5dZAsAQHbPw_KaSDHglGswbCDmHRreH2derM81nCFTKfcZ98AtRNdjRpHc8hIGAMlNXFfC9x8g4qq85_ZU9j6EmudmoQL7514lJQ0OT33Vr3xJwkk8/s400/pants.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5077247538461897570" /></a><br /><b>A)Plunging Silk Halter Top $69.00 Bebe.com<br />B)Martin chino suit trouser $78.00 Bananarepublic.com<br />C)Betsey Johnson Holden $162.00 Zappos.com<br />D)Alfani "Genova" Metallic Clutch $88.00 Macys.com</b><br />Often times when you buy a pair of trousers, the pockets are sewn shut. I think that if you buy trousers with pockets instead of flat front ones, it is best to leave them sewn shut. I find that after putting your hands in the pockets for a while, they become stretched out and the pockets look very bulky on your hips.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpocjOIVXpkTThyIXlUh81l7AyJTYf4v2vB9SLfn9MUAusWUFlBk7qCzPj4ipmf15H_BMVPBEqDSVcY3zc8nwjlCPkNrpTjauv37zY9E5LrFQs14jhCvI7xsS6aGdmuFq4BRftju_XFSw/s1600-h/BLAZERB.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpocjOIVXpkTThyIXlUh81l7AyJTYf4v2vB9SLfn9MUAusWUFlBk7qCzPj4ipmf15H_BMVPBEqDSVcY3zc8nwjlCPkNrpTjauv37zY9E5LrFQs14jhCvI7xsS6aGdmuFq4BRftju_XFSw/s400/BLAZERB.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5077258821340984178" /></a><br /><b>A) Corset dress in solids $75.00 Victoriassecret.com<br />B) Cotton chino blazer $168.00 Bananarepublic.com<br />C) Necessary Objects™ High Waist Pencil Skirt $42.00 Nordstrom.com<br />D) Martin chino suit short $68.00 Bananarepublic.com</b><br /><br />The jacket is the most versatile part of the suit.

She opted to pair the dress with turqouise jewellery. I think that the turquoise was a really good stylish idea, but the earrings were too much. They were too heavy. She should have done the necklace and a turqoise evening bag. I think she looked much better than the model, simply because she didn't wear the matching hat!Jaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16088540779683687077noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489186653920012809.post-46750709572277073612007-06-03T09:24:00.001-07:002008-12-09T21:12:21.136-08:00Rompers / Jumpsuits / PlaysuitsA new style that I really love are rompers.

Nelly looks great in their "the last part" dress at the Brit awards....even though she is wearing it backwards! The buttons on the collar are supposed to be in the back and the joint at the neck is slightly different in the front. Click on the post title to see the dress on the Sass and Bide webside.

Olive green or royal blue shirts look great with natural coloured linen pants. I recommend tucking the shirt in for this look. I did like the cuff in picture A and it would compliment this look if there were one less item in dark brown leather. Be careful not to over-accessorize.The Chelsea boots are the best item here, This London look is extrememly fashionable right now. I love them because they are an orginal style and an alternative to the lace up dress shoes.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigBXkGbaNG0s5hACMrwBg_SBfBySVZ7eVBse_aVXzb8NtP8H7zOues75GNdw3fHm7VZ-CMqSf2Vu7QYFjNECGbRgeaiMCkX_XMZKDZeaodjl_q3UezaQbcRdoztUUFYb14sS5rE98jz0k/s1600-h/classicman2.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigBXkGbaNG0s5hACMrwBg_SBfBySVZ7eVBse_aVXzb8NtP8H7zOues75GNdw3fHm7VZ-CMqSf2Vu7QYFjNECGbRgeaiMCkX_XMZKDZeaodjl_q3UezaQbcRdoztUUFYb14sS5rE98jz0k/s400/classicman2.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063143973872990162" /></a><br />A) Mavi Jeans San Remo Linen Shirt $68.00 Macys.com<br />B) Merona belt $21.99 Target.com<br />C) Relaxed flap-pocket linen pant $68.00 Bananarepublic.com<br />D) 'Chelsea' pull-on boot $168.00 Bananarepublic.com<br /><br /><br />This look is casual but stylish.

It is definetly a fashion mistake to wear a logo tee. I will never understand how people are persuaded to buy expensive t-shirts that are plain except for a strategically placed company's logo. These shoppers are getting ripped off AND they are acting as a walking advertisement.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqHxnX4cj080izHo7sJPw99f8rEw6YDH5iy1mHl9wA5CmE71-Xjk0F4XX4NSkoEeylwo70NL5I-ehbUtJTFSW45EVLxZqwodLJ8K6TK2tiZR4bJGrbblI31SgJDeRZkbt_nRkDyYbhcg/s1600-h/bigg.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqHxnX4cj080izHo7sJPw99f8rEw6YDH5iy1mHl9wA5CmE71-Xjk0F4XX4NSkoEeylwo70NL5I-ehbUtJTFSW45EVLxZqwodLJ8K6TK2tiZR4bJGrbblI31SgJDeRZkbt_nRkDyYbhcg/s400/bigg.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063701001066510322" /></a><br /><br />This t-shirt was my favourite. It would be even better if they had printed "Biggie was right..." above the picture. I found that a lot of a humour in the t-shirt designs comes from the title.

I vote for Nia, she seems to fill out the dress better and I prefer black shoes with this outfit. Lindsay also looks great.<br /><br />You may not have to buy new pieces to achieve this look since most people have black and white in their closet. If you want an excuse for shopping though, there are some great options below. My favourite is the dress by BCBG Max AzrIa. A more affordable choice is the colour block dress from Victoria's secret.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaPVQGCgZjVhyphenhyphenXitZafVMWEF31r2ArDlFFthyphenhyphenGKeIlRJSUY7Ld-zG7eQ2ib8TiliyHFSmyie7jaLf46-y9lpR14zMrOpwVO8AkBwwljzErLAak0WeGNk32gj-IiCgnhTuU5ZroSN9qfHc/s1600-h/blkwhit.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaPVQGCgZjVhyphenhyphenXitZafVMWEF31r2ArDlFFthyphenhyphenGKeIlRJSUY7Ld-zG7eQ2ib8TiliyHFSmyie7jaLf46-y9lpR14zMrOpwVO8AkBwwljzErLAak0WeGNk32gj-IiCgnhTuU5ZroSN9qfHc/s400/blkwhit.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061228259545184114" /></a><br />A) Dannii Ruched Tie Dress $75.08 Asos.com<br />B) BCBG Max Azria Black and White Cocktail Dresses $260.00 Edressme.com<br />C) Contrast Bra Top dress $29.00 Victoriassecret.com<br />D) Colour Block Mini Dress $53.63 Asos.com<br />E) Chetta B Beaded Top Shutter Pleat Dress $460.00 Bloomingdales.comJaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16088540779683687077noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489186653920012809.post-40035810080924283682007-05-04T08:21:00.000-07:002008-12-09T21:12:25.905-08:00Fashion 911 Emergency: Scarlett JohanssonScarlett Johansson at the Louis Vuitton LOVE party at the Louis Vuitton store in New York.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQR6MhmmtRG62JeZHkS_N66DbU0-I7OD_jeenv6p0ZtIah8ec2Tjemp22yI0HvzzhFtYgXaj6E_RkOl542cc8MKYNclixjJZ1rAshQwFf5FpUEnk9otXLYFNwFf4yFJGAdfoQTla3xFpI/s1600-h/scarlettjohanssonlv.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQR6MhmmtRG62JeZHkS_N66DbU0-I7OD_jeenv6p0ZtIah8ec2Tjemp22yI0HvzzhFtYgXaj6E_RkOl542cc8MKYNclixjJZ1rAshQwFf5FpUEnk9otXLYFNwFf4yFJGAdfoQTla3xFpI/s400/scarlettjohanssonlv.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5060726139213576018" /></a><br />I love Scarlett Johansonn, I love her movies, her attidue and normally, I love her style.

Her hair looks overprocessed, like it has been straightened too much and has no body left to it. The colouring of the dress and the pleating of the skirt is very unflattering. Yuck!

You can wear it to the office with a white or black sweater or in the evening with red heels and a red belt. The line will be sold by Steve and Barry's and debuts on June 7th. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_ws9s1dJ1koYPaKtS2on6yEG6lAIdbWYjImbr6oFzkLAGDjHHNxnlx6gAGS95qJX4RqHaMqKfs6FVWnjMtOwBAwx24RA-y_XYjH4YGWVNAleuMgKvW7ppay3-vznRJQhGwvlJJS9e24A/s1600-h/sjp2.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_ws9s1dJ1koYPaKtS2on6yEG6lAIdbWYjImbr6oFzkLAGDjHHNxnlx6gAGS95qJX4RqHaMqKfs6FVWnjMtOwBAwx24RA-y_XYjH4YGWVNAleuMgKvW7ppay3-vznRJQhGwvlJJS9e24A/s400/sjp2.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059812221712594754" /></a><br /><br />Bitten dress $20.00 Bittensjp.comJaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16088540779683687077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489186653920012809.post-56544171196002330412007-05-01T11:59:00.000-07:002008-12-09T21:12:27.783-08:00Dressed to Impress: 21 Dresses for Spring/SummerBright colours are perfect for spring and summer party dresses. For the woman that wants to be in Vogue the bubble dresses are a great option. They are high fashion and definetly stand out. A more traditonal A-line dress is complimentary to most figures. This season the past trend of black and white floral patterns is continued. It is a classic look that is even better when highlighted by bright red accessories. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiZ7oNqpqs8Bmb56_YqFyq2jvYibT6W0RnGDFMuDjSHlYGSRrvbIxwpIKhDBp2PhdQXLIMff_r_p2sHlyWgcab7x1neubv-HzHkxgHPZamFNsF6c2sJfDWzTolMmNcU1fj2UddRyvG1Uw/s1600-h/dresses.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiZ7oNqpqs8Bmb56_YqFyq2jvYibT6W0RnGDFMuDjSHlYGSRrvbIxwpIKhDBp2PhdQXLIMff_r_p2sHlyWgcab7x1neubv-HzHkxgHPZamFNsF6c2sJfDWzTolMmNcU1fj2UddRyvG1Uw/s400/dresses.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059669448409740994" /></a><br />A) Knot-front matte jersey dress $75.00 Victoriassecret.com<br />B) ABS by Allen Schwartz Cream Bow and Black Bubble dress $250.00 Bloomingdales.com<br />C) Lily Strapless Print Party Dress $108.00 Nordstrom.com<br /><br />Floral is in for spring.

Certain celebrities like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen shell out thousands of dollars for that 'urban' look - boho chic.

Buy clothes and accessories because they look good and you like them; not because of the label. If you can't afford the brands you like, don't break the bank to get them. It is fine to get the imitation version sometimes, but make sure you are buying it because you like it and not just to keep up with the joneses!Jaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16088540779683687077noreply@blogger.com0
