Spotted:Valeisha Butterfield and Blake Lively in the same Herve Leger Dress
Actress Valeisha Butterfield wore the black and gray Herve Leger dress at the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network's Fifth Annual Action Awards at Capitale last February 25, 2008 in New York City. Meanwhile, Gossip Girl star Blake Lively dressed into the same dress during the shooting of Gossip Girl TV series at the STK restaurant in New York City last Tuesday.
I'm not feeling these floppy wedges by Chloe at all. I'm usually a huge fan of Chloe... but this time I think they missed the mark. Big time. I think these are matronly and sloppy looking and I'm not sure which trend they think this supposed to represent.
I've never been to Macy's store (obviously) but seeing Christina Aguilera in the store's campaign ad, I decided to write a post about it.
According to Pop Crunch, as Macy's celebrates its 150th anniversary this October, celebrities such as Christina Aguilera, Donald Trump, Martha Stewart, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein were commissioned to pose and have their photos taken by famed Rolling Stone photographer Mark Seliger for a series of commemorative photos.
For a start, Christina Aguilera had a photo in a stunning vibrant dress by a wall of flowers.
She looks good in this photo but I just wish that it was somebody else's face. How about you?
"One World One Dream", this is the theme of the upcoming 2008 Beijing (China) Olympics which will be held on August 8-24, 2008. As of today, China and other countries seems to be Olympic-themed and focused when it comes to fashion. Vogue and Harper's Bazaar magazines as well as Polo and Adidas comapanies set up a fashion shoot, presented campaign ads and created special collections to follow the crowd.
For China Vogue August 2008 Issue: The magazine seems to be having some fun with their idea of Olympic fashion. The following shots are remarkable because of a fine selection of exquisite and colorful sporty apparel and sports equipment.
For Harper's Bazaar: Lucy Lui have teamed up with Harper’s Bazaar to create an Olympic themed spread. The photos aimed to demonstrate that it doesn't matter whether you lose or win, it's how you dressed that counts.
For Polo: Inspired by the rich past of the Olympic Games, Polo Ralph Lauren brings an elegant and contemporary style to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams. The collection offers casual sportswear styles in patriotic combinations of red, white and blue adorned with the U.S. Olympic Team and iconic Polo Pony logos that Olympic fans will surely adore.
Ok, so I'm not exactly crazy on the color here... it's a little 70's/Chrissy Snow for me, but I do love how high up the vamp is. (vamp= upper, or "front thingy")
I really like this trend of choaked up vamps. Don't get me wrong, I still love a sexy shoe with toe cleavage, but this is a whole different animal. This has a different kind of sex appeal. It's more of a vintage feeling.
Anyway, just wanted to share this with you. Open your mind to something new... I think we'll be seeing a lot more of these high vamp pumps in the near future. You can find these online for $720 at Barneys.
I came to know Gossip Girl TV series through a blog of a Filipina celebrity where she cited Blair Waldorf's fashionable outfits. After reading her post, I got curious with the series so I do some online search and finally watched the whole Season 1 episode.
I admit that I am so into it because of the show's fashion statement. Outfits of Blair, Serena, Lily, Jenny and others appealed to me so much that I enjoyed watching it. I can't just can't get enough with the crested blazers, layered polo shirts, kilts, argyle sweaters, daazling jewelries, plaids,knee socks, high boots and most of all headbands!
It's good to hear the news that the Gossip Girl's 2nd season will be aired on September 1. However, amidst the "much anticipation" of fashionistas and glamoristas, "Gossip Girl" is getting lots of attention because of its sexy new ad campaign that depicts its main characters in steamy situations with negative quotes from the Boston Herald ("Every Parent's Nightmare"), the Parents Television Council ("Mind-Blowingly Inappropriate"), the New York Post ("A Nasty Piece of Work") and the San Diego Union Tribune ("Very Bad for You").
As for me, inspite of the critics and negative comments, I will continue to watch closely at what Blair and Serena will be wearing for the rest of the season. Why? Because I'm already 25 years old and I'm totally old enough to be subjected under Parental Guidance..hehehe
By the way, Gossip Girl has already an online store where you can find your fave outfit worn by your fave character.
Here's a slideshow of the Gossip Girl stars with definitely superb outfit:
Shoes for under $25?? This baffles me. Even if we made shoes out of toilet paper we wouldn't be able to get that kind of price on a shoe from our factories! I'm sure these are super cheap looking in person, even more so than in the picture, and even cheaper feeling; but, I suppose if you want a Chloe knockoff for less than you'd pay for a nice dinner... here's your answer.
They're cute. Like I said, total knockoff, but cute. You guys know I struggle with this copying shoes thing. I'm all for shoes inspired by designer shoes, but when you go ahead an copy a shoe stitch for stitch, it just seems unfair. It ruins the shoe for the people who buy the real deal.
Can you imagine saving up for a shoe that you adore... say it costs $700, and then seeing the same thing for like 95% less! I'd be so bummed. Here's the original.
You see what I mean? Sure us Shoe Girls can tell tell difference right away- but still. Close enough.
I know we've seen a lot of Doc Martins on the runway, but I'm still not totally convinced. I think a certain girl can rock them. She probably wears them with flowy floral skirts and opaque tights... VERY 90's.
There's a girl with a fashion blog that I just adore! She wears them and pulls them off so well. Then again she's gorgeous and about 90 lbs, so... she pulls a lot of things off. Check her out at Fashion Toast
So anyhow, I found these on Brown's of London online for about $600 if you're interested. What do you think??
A great way we at Lela New York personalize invitations is by adding a custom designed logo. It's a modern way of having a monogram. It may include the names of our clients, their first initials and elements that are included in their wedding or part of their wedding theme. It can include your flowers and colors as well. Here are some examples of Lela New York logos.
As much as I love warm weather, I am of the belief that fall and winter call for much cuter clothes! I love ankle boots and tights and sweaters and coats!! It's July and I am already excited for Fall. Is that sick or what? Not that we really have too much of a season change over here in California.
Anyway, back to the bootie. This one is super cute cause it's a total classic. The shape is flattering and the height is perfect to wear either with jeans or with tights/leggings.
They remind me a little of these Christian Louboutins I got last year with spikes on the back. These are a little more tame though. ;)
Celebrity stylesetters are jumping into summer in sleek jumpsuits. They wanted wear the new all-in-one chic outfit, something you can put on and be done but feel totally together in.
Last July 17, Maggie Gyllenhaal jumps on the trend train and sports out a backless Stella McCartney satin jumpsuit with a plunging neckline at the UK premiere of The Dark Knight.
Here's some celebrities who already joined the trend too:
