Make Me Beautiful

Tell me where I can get my personal umbrella handler like Rebecca Romijn? Holding your own umbrella is so taxing.

Well, where has Winona Ryder been hiding all this time? Remember when she was the hot thing in Hollywood? I loved her. Hard to believe she’s almost 40!

Except for the enormous earrings and the length of the pants, I love Rihanna’s outfit. The purple and yellow are fierce.

Paris is going punk now that she’s dating that Madden guy. Avril Levigne is going to be so mad that Paris is dressing like her.

I love this hippie hobo style that Kate Hudson has going on but whenever I dress like this I feel huge and sloppy. I want to know if Kate’s pregnant!

She’s been linked to Justin Timberlake and Owen Wilson lately. Imagine the scandal if she didn’t know who the Baby Daddy was?

I will be seeing the Shopaholic movie starring Isla Fischer as soon as its out. I adore Isla and the books were fabulous.

John Goodman? Can’t wait to see him effect a British accent.

My mother had shoes like Mischa’s when I was a little girl. Those shoes were one of the only things she kept from the late 60’s. I loved dressed up in those ugly things and clomping around. I guess she’s trying to match her shoes to her yellow hair?

I still can’t tell these Olsen moppets apart. Umm, the one with the hat is Ashley I think because the other one’s hair looks more ratty. Did you read People magazine’s article about the billionaire twins? These girls live a weird life. Drugs, alcohol and partying sums it up.

My guilty pleasures include the Millionaire Matchmaker and Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I try to guess how much plastic surgery everyone’s had on the show. I think boobs and noses for sure. The mom must have had a tummy tuck or two (she’s had six kids).

Gwen Stefani doesn’t have to try very hard to look amazing. Whether she’s in mom mode (above) or doing a photo shoot (below), the woman just has star power.

Yuck! Elle Macpherson used to be gorgeous but here she looks like she should be rolling on top of a Camaro in a Whitesnake video.

It’s been posted on alll the websites but I felt that it was necessary to see Angelina’s bump one more time.

And soon you too can have a ratty weave like Amy Winehouse! You know Ken Paves is shaking in his snakeskin boots. Amy is rumored to be creating (and by creating, I mean snorting coke) a line of cosmetics and hair pieces. Brilliant. Every modern woman needs a jet black hive. I could use one instead of carrying around a purse. Think of the things you could fit in there.

This is from the Oscar’s rehersal last week. Jessica Alba without makeup is worth posting.

I recently posted the fall ‘08 trends for New York city which is probably applicable to New Yorkers alone. Buuuut…to the people outside NYC, Apparelnews posted a trend forecast for Fall 2008. These trends were determined in recent shows including the Project Global Trade Show, Action Sports Retailer Trade Expo and the MAGIC Marketplace.

You’ll probably recognize some of the trends you’ll see in this entry (if you read the NY fall trends entry) so don’t worry or fuss about it okay? Lol. So yeah, here are the Fall 2008 trends - which all are wittingly named again!

1. Bomb Squad - jackets are in this season: motorcycle and bomber styles are hot!

2. ’80s Edge - okay, so NY will see the ’70s back in action while the rest of the world (?) will rock with the ’80s.

3. Retro Future Denim - jeans are redesigned and brought back to life for fall - yep, high-waisted ones included.

4. Knits - yep, like in NY, knitted clothes are hot this coming fall.

5. High-Tech - futurism is rampant!

6. Tee Time - t-shirts are in this coming season with bold punk-rock designs.

7. Plaid, Plaid World - plaid still looks great, especially on coats!

8. Frock Talk - vintage-styled frocks will replace the baby doll looks during fall.

9. Rock Chic - relieve the rock era and bring out the rockstar in you…no matter what decade!

10. Uni-Sex - utilitarian-meets-boy-meets-girl fashion. ‘Nuff said.

11. Eco-Logic - environment-friendly industrial fabric-made clothes rev up the runway…and soon, the streets!

Despite the numerous bursts of bright colors for this coming fall, Stella McCartney’s 2008 RTW collection seem to focus on darker and more earthly tones as her clothes and accessories range from the colors gray, brown and black. The single blue dress looks lost amidst a sea of the colors I just mentioned, but it’s cute. I like that lone blue dress.

Here are some of the accessories that goes with the collection. Personally, I think the shoes are hard to walk on!

The luxury retail market is always coming up with gimmicks and limited edition goods to lure customers into buying more and more.
Chanel’s latest Limited Edition product, is this 2.55 in honor of the Chanel Mobile Art Exhibit. Now this may look like any old 2.55, but for once in fashion, the beauty lies on the inside.
Inside the flap to be specific. Inside the flap, is this signature by the legend of fashion himself, KARL LAGERFELD, commemorating the Mobile Art Exhibit in Hong Kong. Logic tells me that Chanel is trying to rip people off, because the scribbling of a few words inside the flap is certainly NOT worth the premium they are charging for it over the standard 2.55’s. A mere signature does NOT bring one closer at any level to the author of the signature. The red/orangey color isn’t even that complimentary!

But the fashionista side of me is in AWE that I have been able to get so close to and even trace Karl Lagerfeld’s signature. I admit, I might have even let out a tiny squeal of delight. A little like what Victory Ford felt when she found Coco Chanel’s dress form in Lipstick Jungle (though of course, this is not QUITE as cool nor meaningful, since I know nothing about designing and making clothes). I know this reaction is probably completely illogical and against my better judgment since it is obviously a marketing ploy to make more money for Chanel, but oh, I just can’t help it!

And I can’t wait to go see the exhibit! Its fully booked this weekend, but I’m definitely going next week! Report back!

Last, but by no means least, this 1950’s party dress features pink roses on the skirt. It is available from VFG member BebopaDiva Vintage.

Feel like a starlet…or a blushing bride…in this frothy little party dress with its stunning floral details.

The dress is made of sheer organza in a warm white, lined in matching satin. The top has a curvy princess fit, with spaghetti straps and layers of pleating at the top to make the most of your girls. The front has stays to keep everything in place and the straps are completely adjustable.

The full skirt falls from a nipped waist in two swirly flared panels in the lining, with two organza layers over that, one cut on the diagonal. A lush 3-D swag of hot pink roses cascades from the upper left to the lower right along that layer. The flowers are made of velvety petals, with wire-backed leaves and brown satin stems. The dress has an attached inner tulle crinoline, so unless you like them really fluffy, you shouldn’t need anything else.

After being hailed as official Style Icon at the Elle UK Style Awards, Kate Hudson will be on the cover of the magazine’s April issue. For this issue, Kate spilled some of her thoughts on fashion and also opened up about the unusual relationship she shares with her ex-husband, Chris Robinson, and her desire to wear as little clothing as possible.

• On her own personal style: “I love clothes! But I would never put something on just because it’s high fashion. . . I like people to have personal style. . . I’m not into the trampy look. I like to mismatch. I like a look that is not too thought out!”
• On keeping in shape: “I’ve always been a dancer. I took ballet from the age of three to 13, then got into jazz dance. Now I have a dance instructor several times a week and I do Pilates.”
• On showing off her figure: “I plan to wear as little as possible for as long as I can. . . I know I won’t have this body forever, she says. and I would like to have another child some day.”
• On her relationship with Chris: “The other day I told someone my husband was coming over and they said, ‘You mean your ex-husband’. I do love my ex. Whatever man I end up with, I’ll always love Chris.”
• On her body image: “If there’s one thing I’ve learnt this year, it’s not to think too much about my image. I don’t dress for anyone but me and the people I love.”
• On what she’ll be wearing this Spring: “Right now I’m in love with colour! Particularly purple. I just bought a purple Dolce sweater. The other color I love for spring is cobalt blue. And that peachy skin-tone colour.”
