2011 GRAMMY FASHION WRAP-UP

I'm sorry but last night's Grammy awards was really boring. Don't even get me started on the winners...let's jump into the fashion. Shall we?

BEST DRESSED:

Kimmy K is really nice to look at. She looked like a bootylicious golden statue last night. Very circa 1997 J.LO


Miss Kidman looked absolutely amazing in Jean-Paul Gaultier. Now I see why she's obsessed with mermaid style dresses-instant curves for her boyish frame.


J...TO THE LO. Hell-lo. That's a throwback to an old J.Lo song for the youngins. I know if it was an inch or two longer-PERFECTION.Those Christian Louboutin shoes...give me life. Divine!


SELENA GOMEZ,you look amazing! She kept it very sophisticated,sweet&sexy.She's wearing a J. Mendel gown.


HAD POTENTIAL:

Yes,Ciara has a sick bod but the top portion of the dress is just wacky. It flattens her boobs it's just not flattering at all.There was too much going on with the cuts on the sides,the front detail,different patterns,the shoes,the train...just NO!


Miley looks so grown up. I wish she'll do something different with her hair.A messy updo would've done this dress so much more justice. The dress is very shiny and heavily detailed so she didn't need the bracelets.Maybe just a nice cocktail ring?!


I love me some Katy Perry!!! Her song are addictive,she's cute& all about girl power. Now,I wish I could have snipped that train off her dress. And pulled the skirt up a little more so we can't see any peek-a-boo skin. Love u Katy :-)



WORST DRESSED:

Nicki Minaj wins this. WTF ARE YOU WEARING HB? Anyone that knows me well knows that I LOVE NICKI MINAJ but I can't support this. This...this Givenchy Leopard atrocity.
Waaah :(

I want to hear your opinions,Comment xoxo

On a musical note...

THESE AMAZING ALBUMS ARE IN STORES NOW! ALSO AVAILABLE ON ITUNES & AMAZON. Support good music!

"LOUD"-Rihanna's 5th album gives us the tantalizing Urban Pop we crave.And that made the Bajan songstress a household name. With tracks like "What's my name" "Only girl in the world" and "Raining Men" this is definitely another Platinum record for the 22 year old beauty.


"My beautiful dark twisted fantasy"-Kanye West's 5th album is the lovechild of his last album "808's and Heartbreak" and "Late Registration". The controversial rap genius creates the perfect Hip Hop album with tracks like "Blame Game" ft. Kid Cudi and the hit "Runaway" with Pusha T. Mr. West has done it again with perfect sampling,flawless metaphors and melodic delivery.


"Pink Friday"-Nicki Minaj's debut album is full of wacky voices,catchy beats and good lyrics.The worlds of Pop and Hip/Hop-Rap collide on this record. Miss Minaj rose to fame with her many features this year & seemingly simple defeat of conquering the billboard charts without an album. This is truly a treat from the opener "I'm the Best" to super pop bonus tracks like "Girls fall like dominoes". Nicki also has her own pink lipstick from M.A.C. titled "Pink Friday".

Rainbow Brite!

Vibrant pigmented highlights are ON the rise. Maybe it's a trend inspired by Halloween. Hmmm...?
Recent Runway shows have been incorporating two tone hair but there's a new look on the scene. Maybe thanks to Rap Queen,Nicki Minaj:
Burnt Orange;Black w/pink

In NYC- I've seen just about every color known to man. They were highlights not a full dye.It's a fun way to make winter bright and fun:)


Pink;Rachel McAdams


Purple & Blue;Katy Perry



Yellow&Orange;Hayley Williams


An example of wild hair dye-Rihanna
Why Riri Why?!
If I'm feeling bold I'll try blue....

Trend Report

Did you guys see Project Runway? I'm really keeping a eye on Christopher Straub and Ramon Lawrence. Everyone was kinda blah but it was the first episode so we'll see.
Now where was I...IT'S CELEBRITY TREND REPORT time.It's been awhile.

Would you wear these trends?


Denim Vests
(L-R)Ashley Tisdale,Kate Bosworth
I'm on the fence about this one. You can easily look like a lost farmer girl or a hillbilly in this.But it's all about accessories it can really make a difference. Don't wear jeans with your denim vest,the 90's has left us. Let it R.I.P


Round Sunglasses
(L-R)Sienna Miller,Mary Kate Olsen
NO,especially if they're clear. It doesn't look right on anyone. Attempt at your own risk.


Denim Rompers
(L-R)Eva Marcille,Anna Faris
Yes,if they are similar to Anna's romper. It's sexy but over the top,just simple& cute.It's something different to wear to the beach,a BBQ or the amusement park.Pair them with flip flops or a casual sandal.


Fringed Sandals
(L-R)Jessica Biel,Jennifer Love Hewitt
Yes times ten. My style has been described has boho and hippie chic so this definitely appeals to me.A little fringe is good for the soul.


Tie-Dye Jeans
(L-R)Fergie,Gwen Stefani
NO! I don't like to bring anymore attention to my hips,thighs and ass.
