Giorgio Armani Spring 2010 Collection

Giorgio Armani looked in future and explored the world of ‘plastic fantastic’ in his younger, Emporio Armani collection at Milan Fashion Week. Armani exploded colors like fireworks on graphic PVC catwalk, sending a clear signal that he is back once again, working at full creative power after battling with hepatitis over summer.

Armani kept everything above the knee, adding panels of multicolor sequins to the bodices of fuchsia and royal blue taffeta numbers and beading every square centimeter of others. That should please the party set tremendously. They'll simply trade in the flat sandals the models wore on the runway for spiked heels.

Either that, or she came off worse in a fight with a giant disco ball.

Have you got something sparkly lined up to wear at your Christmas party? Ours kicks off at 1pm today! Look out London!

Valentino 2010 Shoe Collection

I think the Valentino shoe collection, designed by London-based milliner Philip Treacy, is extremely elegant and fanciful. The shoes are full of bright and sensitive colours. The beautiful footwear had lace wings arcing upward from the heels, and in some cases, from the front of the shoe. I prefer the ones with lace on the ankle or the all lace pumps. The sandals with the ball of lace up front was a bit distracting and took away from the beauty of the design.
I think the collection was a huge success and will give the Valentino brand a new relevance in the designer shoeempire.

Katy Perry's Gorgeous Marchesa Gown

Yap, Katy Perry has done her best to appear in 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards which took place not so long long ago. This 25-year-old beauty was seen donning a stunning Marchesa gown, a nude one shoulder draped tulle strapless dress with embroidered ebony flowers

For me, Katy Perry always knew how to look both elegant and sexy at the same time. She just know when to stop to not look too posh. And this is a good value. So good for you Perry!

Calvin Klein Spring 2010 Collection

The spring 2010 Calvin Klein collection is youthful and sensuous. The models were almost makeup-free, wearing ponytails without accessories. The Collection is made of the simplest outfitsl, no fake stuff. It is almost like Francisco Costa replaced the sharp angles and dark colors of his Fall lineup with soft, organic shapes and light-reflecting neutrals. The collection’s sheer elements combat the daily uniform if you will, elevating pieces as simple as the dress shirt to a new refined level that requires thought before integration. Beside the fact that models are skinnier than ever, I'd say it's worth a shot and buying such a lovely dress.

Ashley Olsen and Her Favorite Bag

Ashley Olsen was spotted a couple of times wearing a Crocodile Fendi Bag. We could say it's her favorite, as because out of her million handbags, she actually wore this one few times. No wonder, with those Maverick shades and the black blazer, Fendi Handbag gives the final touch to her dramatic look.

But she should consider to add some colors to her style. Some of the looks are just too depressing. Come on, Ashley, you got nothing to worry about! Or maybe too much money is a thing that depresses her....:)

Look of The Day- Freida Pinto

Gorgeous Freida Pinto was spotted some time ago at the Orange British Academy Film Awards wearing a fab Mermaid Gown by Oscar De La Renta.

This sleeveless gown has perfectly suits her body type. Freida has beautiful shoulders, and she's got nice curves. And, of Course, the smile. Nothing brightens up your look like a gorgeous smile:) .

Alexander Mcqueen Spring 2010 Shoe Collection

Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2010 collection has given us a totally new way to look at the shoes. In fact, I would have never thought that someone could make alien-like legs work out so wonderful as women's shoes. The fantasy heels on the 2010 runway looked like they were out of this world. They were super high, skeletor-like and featured interestingly curved booties designed for the the animalistic and bold. Huh, I just remembered that the monsters from the movie called ''Never ending Story'' had also the same type of ''shoes'' on them. Huh, I womder if Alexander had just copied the look from those giant monsters:)

Get the Look!- Beyonce Spotted



Could you look both cute and sexy, but not wearing any mini skirts or party dresses?? Well, I can tell you one thing- You can and it's not hard to do so. Take a look at Beyonce, for example. The Girl has just done it again. Not only She's a Diva on Stage, but also during shopping or even wondering around town.

Beyonce basically focused herself on a Green color. that's true. The first thing that pops would be the Green hat and Green Shoes. It is a perfect look to use when meeting friends at the Mall, hanging out in the park or just simply going out for a walk. Nothing too posh about this look, but is gives a little sparkle of everyday trendiness:)

Britney Spears Spotted!

The Singer, Britney Spears, was spotted 2 days ago at the International Airport. Miss Spears was wearing a very unusual pair of geek-spectacles, along with a gorgeous pea coat and suede boots.

The look is a bit odd, as you can't really understand the whole Idea of combining those clothes together.. I mean... A pink Top underneath a Pea coat, green suede boots and a white-light green scarf. Nothing matches. No wonder she has put on geek spectacles....


But anyway, here is a geeky looking style:)

Hilary Duff's Amazing Look!!

Looks like Hilary Duff is in a good mood and feels great. And no wonder. With her over- sized off-the-shoulder sweater and this large leather handbag there is no need to cry! The big sweater looks gorgeous on her, and I think she found a great colour that work out perfectly for her.

Again, it is a simple look to copy. You may try it if you have plans on going shopping, hanging out with friends or even chillin' out at home:) Genius!!

Here we enjoyed seared steak, firecracker chicken, Indonesian noodles, sake and much much more. After dinner we headed around the corner to Matrix which is a really nice upscale lounge, we enjoyed more drinks and the wrapped up the night at a friends making and eating homemade crepes with Nutella and Bannana.

Ralph Lauren Spring 2010 Collection

It looks like Ralph Lauren was inspired by the character of the worker, the farmer, the cowboy, the pioneer women of the prairies. It is almost like Ralph was hit by the latest recession, as in his latest collection he tries to show that you can still look good with less classy outfits. So in place of the polo fields or any of his other tony stomping grounds, Lauren took us back to the dust bowl for Spring. The collection contained torn oversize jeans with blue work shirts, patchwork overalls, nightshirts in mattress-ticking stripes, or sweet calico print dresses with white ankle socks and oxfords with heels.

Red Carpet Chick- Penelope Cruz

Penélope Cruz is the stellar leading ladies in Rob Marshall’s Nine, which also stars Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, and Kate Hudson.
For the New York Premiere, Penelope had shined in a Vintage Chanel Goddess Gown accessorized with Gorgeous Diamond Chandelier earring from Chopard. She also had a black clutch that adds nothing but more glam to her look.

To look like Penelope, all you would need is a Goddess-type Gown, black Clutch and not necessarily Diamond, but shiny earrings.

Suri Cruise most Fashionable Celebrity Child

If you think children have no idea on Fashion, well take a closer look at the Celebrity Children. For example, Suri Cruise is a Pish-Posh when it comes to style and looking good. Suri was named the world’s most fashionable celebrity child in a poll of 3,000 parents.
Suri (who is rarely out of mini high heels these days) possesses an extensive designer wardrobe boasting designs by Ralph Lauren, Burberry, Roger Vivier, plus a specially made Roberto Cavalli dress which was a gift from her fashion fairy godmother Victoria Beckham.
Victoria Bechkam however, had no need to become jealous, as all three of her sons were on the top ten with the youngest son Cruz taking the no. 2 spot.
Other Celebrity Children in the top 10 include Lourdes, tomboy Shiloh Pitt and, firmly beating both their parents in the style stakes, Junior and Princess Andre.
Suri is almost a celebrity in her own right thanks to her cute looks and her amazing wardrobe. She has outfits that rival A-list celebs and this gets her more column inches than many movie stars.”
