Fashion Trends Summer 2008

June 11, 2008 at 5:20 am (News) ()

Fluid flares, draped dresses, skinny belts and something see-through” is “What you’ll be wearing next summer”, according to Charlotte Sanders of Marie Clarie, January 2008 UK edition, in their article of the same name.
With Spring fashions now currently flooding into our stores, Sanders gives us a taster of what to expect further down the line.

If the average working woman is going to spend hard-earned cash on upgrading her wardrobe, then one of the biggest questions she should ask herself is:

* “Are any of these trends really wearable”?

Surprisingly, if Sander’s predictions are correct, then the answer is yes.
Not only are the majority of summer trends actually wearable, but as skinny styles and ultra minis give way to more fluid flares and flowing dresses, there is probably more to tempt the average, down-to-earth woman next season than there has been in a long time.
In her article, “Fashion Addict In Milan”, of 10 January 2008, Liz Jones of the Daily Mail asked herself two questions when she was reviewing the recent Italian fashion shows:

* “Can I wear this to work?”
* “Would I wear this on a date?”

As hot new fashion items hit the high street stores, these are key questions which would help any lady evaluate the practicality of her potential purchases.

What’s Hot for Summer 2008

There are a number of summer trends that would score highly in the office and dating department.

1. Fluid Flares

Michelle Williams shimmers in Cannes

May 24, 2008 at 6:50 am (News) (, )

Michelle Williams shimmers in Cannes in first big public appearance since Heath Ledger’s tragic death.
Having fun with her co-stars on the Riviera, Michelle Williams proved life goes on after the death of Heath Ledger.Promoting her new film “Synecdoche New York”, the actress laughed alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener and Samantha Morton.

Despite the tragic death of her ex-fiance, Michelle has looked nothing but flawless since she arrived in Cannes.
Last night, in her first major public appearance since the death of Heath Ledger in January, Williams lit up the red carpet as she attended the premiere of her new film Wendy And Lucy.

Wearing a gorgeous white gown with shoulder lace trim, Williams looked gorgeous as she smiled and posed for photographers, weeks after the death of her former flame.
The film is set around a woman’s adventures after she breaks down and faces a series of challenges while driving with her dog Lucy to Alaska.

Ledger, who was found dead in his New York apartment in January,  died from an accidental overdose of prescription medication.
Although the couple had separated at the time of his death, Williams was left  “devasted” over the tragedy.

The couple began dating while filming Brokeback Mountain, and their daughter Matilda Rose was born in October 2005.
In her first public statement on the death in February, she expressed her heartbreak and described her seeing Ledger’s spirit surviving in their daughter.

“I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father,” she revealed.

“All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day,” she said.
“His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still.

“She will be brought up in the best memories of him.”
The couple had moved to New York in 2005 and were raising Matilda
before his death and the break up of their relationship.

Super (Model) Mommies

May 16, 2008 at 9:51 am (Fashion, News) ()

How many times do we forget that models are people too? It seems that we see them only as those beautiful out-of-this-world perfect amazons …
But yes, models are normal people, they eat, they have feelings & sometimes insecurities, but above all they are women.

Bianca Balti

Linda Evangelista

Cindy Crawford

Christiansen, Isabeli Fontana, Bianca Balti… some of the most beautiful supermodels who conquered every fashion runway and had their beautiful faces plastered on every fashion magazine/ad/billboard worldwide, are also devoted mothers.

Those incredible superwomen were embracing the changes their body went through, coped with a complete life changing blessed situation and still maintained their glorious careers along with a loving family life, still looking amazingly beautiful.  A lot of these stunning moms are still working today; all of them are looking more radiant, happy & much more in peace with themselves than ever. Proving us all that nature finds its way to connect us all through the beauty and spirit of womanhood, of femininity, of creating life.

Met Gala: The Agony and the Ecstasy of the Red Carpet

May 7, 2008 at 11:21 am (News) ()

This morning feels like the day after prom, except we didn’t just lose our virginity and we’re not dying of hangover (kidding — or are we?). Last night at the Costume Institute gala, the Soirée for the World’s Most Fabulous People in the World’s Most Fabulous Dresses (or, this year, perhaps the Bat-Cave Ball), we worked the red carpet like a street corner on Saturday night. That is to say, we didn’t actually attend. But we already know what happened inside anyway: Victoria Beckham smiled on the down low, everyone was jealous of Katie Holmes’s bob and Gisele’s body, and guests politely picked at their food. And it’s not like the red carpet wasn’t without its humor: Just take Lady Wintour’s alien-walk entrance, for starters.

Ever the dutiful hostess, Anna was the first to arrive at about a quarter till seven with her daughter, Bee Shaffer. Like mother like daughter, the pair arrived wearing complicated (and thus impractical, though if there ever were a night…) gowns. Wintour wore a floor-length silver Chanel Haute Couture number with what looked like puffy antlers attached to the hips. Or maybe they were Princess Leia buns. There was a distinct Star Wars vibe going. She slowly climbed up the empty red-carpeted stairs, gripping the pillowy attachments at her sides as if to help swivel her hips, an act she methodically performed her entire walk up the stairs.

Can a Girl Really Wear Too Much Black?

April 30, 2008 at 12:57 pm (News) (, )

Honestly, Tina Fey can do no wrong. She’s brilliant, funny and women everywhere love her because we can relate. However. Maybe, just maybe, Tina might want to think about wearing something besides black.

Although she’s wearing a lovely dress (and I love the gold shoes with it) Tina always wears black on the red carpet. With her coloring she would look amazing in so many colors, especially red. I can’t say I’m much better, though, because I wear loads of black. But once in a while a girl needs to add color to her wardrobe.

March 20, 2008 at 8:38 am (News) ()

Britney Spears! Hot newsDaddy is taking away the keys to some of s cars – permanently.
A court granted the singer’s father on Monday the power to “sell or dispose of” an undisclosed number of her seven cars, documents show.
Lawyers for Jamie Spears stated that the cost of maintaining the fleet of vehicles was too expensive and that the sale of “a certain of” her cars “will save substantial expense to the conservatorship estate.”
Among the singer’s cars are two white Mercedes (a SL65 and a CLK350), a white Mini Cooper convertible, and a black Audi.
Also on Monday, a court spokesman clarified that the pop star’s $1,500 a week allowance “is not her only source of (personal) income,” but did not give further details.
Spears’s father and a lawyer will remain in control of her affairs until a July 31 hearing.
