Perfect Collabo!

Hot Pink accented by subtle hints of Black is a flawless personification of a fun, wild, and chic living!!
as noted in Julie Haus's Judy Dress
Voila! A drama worthy tafetta hot magenta mini is perfectly balanced by the simplicity of a three black button detailing at the bust!!

Color Me August!!

We are into the second week of August, Fall is hastily waiting around the bend. But before we dump our bikini clad wardrobes for ankle booties and rocker chic minis for fall, lets indulge in some last minute summer styles!!

Colors inspired by a box of Crayola leaves much inspiration to the trend of neon and brights seen mostly on mini dresses or rocker jackets.

Brilliant Disaster? When Actors turn Designers...

As Fall Fashions Rush Into the Department Stores, Celebrity Designers are Pushing to sell their own Designs.

Gwen Stefani opened the doors for the influx of "designers" banking on their celebrity fame and name. After Stefani's urban sport line Harajuku Lovers and higher end brand L.A.M.B others soon began to follow. From Sarah Jessica Parker low priced Bitten and Kate Moss's cheap designs for Topshop- to Sienna Miller's high end line Twenty8Twelve.

However, the question that remains fizzling long after the debut of their lines, is if these Celebs have what it takes to last and sell in the Fashion House?

Bitten_Sarah Jessica Parker's line is extremely cheap and too casual, hence its accessibility to be bargain prices. Cheap fabrics and simple designs.

L.A.M.B_Gwen Stefani *the bottom lime: chic, eccentric, and fun for an expensive price

Twenty8Twelve_Sienna Miller's uber stylish fashion line incorporating fresh new silhouettes through rich fabrics and lusty metallics. But, for a high price, in the high hundreds and up!!! I'm not sure I'd pay half a grand for a 50's inspired housewife frock from a designer who most likely does not dress herself!!

The Stinger -Most of The Celeb Lines are selling for a pretty expensive penny, but still finding their way into the closests of thousands dying to get a bit closer to Hollywood!! As if these actresses were not wealthy enough, their profit margins are through the roof with their labels...

Good Look: Wrong Person

If you look to my May 21 blog entry: "Jump to this New Hot Trend for Spring and Summer..Jumpsuits" and you'll notice Charlotte Solnicki's sexy one piece tube jumper in a variety of colors...super sexy and chic...Not so much on Britney Spears, however!
-The infamous Britney Spears was recently photographed wearing the jumper by paps during a night of careless partying at Winston's. Take a look, I'll warn you in advance it is not the prettiest sight...
