Katy Perry Fashion Sense.

fashionxx — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:10:33 +0000

Keeping track of celebrity hair color is a task any die-hard journalist would get years of material out of. Just like her music, Katy likes to keep her hair fun, spunky, and out of the ordinary. Her entire fashion ensemble screams that she is in it to party and have a good time unlike the Jonas Brothers who use their girlfriend’s promise ring as a tactic for marketing their albums.

Originally, Katy sported the traditional brunette hair that complimented her goddess-like looks. Her long locks screamed “classic beauty” and gave her a pin-up look that attracted girls because of the timeless factor and guys for other obvious reasons. Her, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga sparked a new craze for female singers because of their bold and fearless fashion choices.

Throughout 2010 and 2011, Katy has struggled to find a true ID for her hair. The cover of the California Gurls album shows her lounging out in a supermodel pose with a bright blue wig on top of her head. After the bright blue came a sort of fuschia pink color that looked like it came out of a hair spray can.

Recently Katy has ditched the over the top punk looks and settled on one that defines her chic and sensible side. People magazine reports that she appeared at a fundraiser thrown by David Lynch with a short blonde bob. This is a drastic transformation for the singer because we have never seen her without her long and luxurious hair.

Some say that her recent transformations are a guise to fool the media into thinking her marriage to Russel Brand isn’t running into a rough patch. She has just gotten a matching tattoo with her husband and both of them have been on a media tour claiming that everything is peachy betweeen the two. While the rumors may be surfacing, her style choices have earned her an actual Barbie doll based on her likeness.

The good thing about Katy Perry’s fashion sense is that it will always keep us guessing. Let’s hope that she has some fun with it without ending up shaving her head like Britney Spears did.

The Best of Seasons.

fashionxx — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:14:53 +0000

The very best thing I love about the seasons is the opportunity to wear different types of dresses and outfits. You have your spring dress and your fall dress. I even have my selection of winter outfits that I love. Since I can find such great selections at my favorite online shopping destinations it is easy to have a full wardrobe for each time of year. Ever since I have found so many great discount stores I have been able to add to my collection as I have the budget and not feel like I am over paying.

Even the most elegant dresses are marked down I have a couple of knitted dresses from Pure Collection that I love were purchased at really low prices. Sometimes you even find things that are up to 70% off the retail price. That is bargain basement stuff sister! No longer do we have to put up with the leftovers either there like you do in traditional malls. You know what I mean that returned item that has a makeup stain on the collar or it is a bright orange and green combination? I don’t know why anyone would even consider that purchase let alone let it hang in your closet!

Going Beyond Twilight

fashionxx — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 06:12:25 +0000

Even since I have been working and shopping on the internet I have been seeing a progression in the features available. It started simple with some web sites having galleries of products and then moved on from there. Now, since there are so many avenues to use to get to the Internet the competition has really started to focus on the client experience in different formats. When department stores started to leave the malls and move to online was when real money started to be funneled in and some very creative web development launched some of the most interesting shopping experience. Now, it is not just a ecommerce cart any more!

Take a look at some of the premier shopping sites and you will see some pretty cool stuff. One of my latest is the La Redoute web site and it has a lot to love. For one it lightening fast even on a low bandwidth connection. One of my and I be your pet peeves is waiting for a pic of the sexy little dress to show up. Large parts of the site’s real estate is taken up by easy to get to but vital information. Like how to do a return or I am ready to buy so where is the cart? What is completely making me go bonkers over this web site is the download application for my Iphone 4G! I can shop the entire website on my Iphone! And do anything I would want to do on my laptop. I can open a credit account or create a favorites list all from the comfort of my desk at work! No more pesky firewalls blocking my shopping experience!

Dressing for Success!

fashionxx — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 11:18:20 +0000

A professional must look the part and it is even more important now in this tight economy. There are a lot of career choices that it really doesn’t take more than a smart looking business casual to pull it off but that was yesterday. Once you have landed the interview it is time to do some research. You need to find out what that particular business daily wear constitutes. That can be accomplished by visiting their web site and looking for photographs of the employees and or just call the human resources anominously and ask!

Since you really want to find clothes that fit you well it is a good idea to have at least one affordable but definitely upscale suit to wear for that important first impression. You can go to a department store and find some excellent choices, men’s designer clothing range in price but you can find something very nice in between $500 and $1000. Now, this might sound steep to some but you have to look at this as an investment in your career. It is very important when you are interviewing at one of the large corporations even a professional firm that you look like you belong there.

I strongly recommend an online store as an excellent option once you have determined what the daily wear is going to be. One of the best I have seen is the BankFashion.co.uk because they have so many brands to choose. The web site will show examples with models wearing a style and you can go right down to the accessory level very easily. Some of you like me are try it on before you buy and you can find the local store near you with an easy locator. It’s a tough business world and we need every advantage we can get. Looking like success breathes the correct atmosphere!

More Choices! More Fun!

fashionxx — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 01:50:45 +0000

Every year you have to have new swimwear. I just hate it when I am looking for bikinis! It is so hard to find one that I really love on my fabulicious body. So, I spend a lot of time looking for a great place online and I just found an online boutique that is just right for my tastes. The name is so cute, cocolush.com and the great thing is that they have so many items beyond just the boring! Yah baby! I found the Jackie Brazil bracelet and a full line of jewelry so natural and beautiful that I was moved to tears. You really need to have at least one to go with your beach ensemble for a complete look.

You should see their website it is full of fun and cool stuff that you need. The sale items section shows not what is last years leftovers but what is cool but marked down to move fast. Once more the elegant but natural necklaces to add so much to one of their sun dresses or even a cover-up while you are sitting in the cabana sipping a colada with one of those little umbrellas in it. When I tell you “click here for fashion jewelry” you need to click it! LOL! Because you will go there and find a really excellent selection, top of the line brands and superb pricing. You will thank me later, but its ok just send me something for my birthday from cocolush’s web site and we can call it even! J

Halloween Saviors!

fashionxx — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 01:58:33 +0000

It never fails on the funnest party day of the year I have no idea what to wear! Halloween has morphed into a hoot of a holiday with parties everywhere and the costumes getting harder and harder to compete. So, this year I am starting early because the good ones like a sexy catwoman costume are gone early. That his how when I am doing my research I came across a good web site that has such a fun and exciting selection of costumes that I just hung out there and browsed.

I want to do a zentai costume and I found cheap zentai costumes on their website. They are so cool when you think of the simplicity and yet the uniqueness of each one. This is a real good opportunity to extend your summer sexy body until the fall! You will look your best in a zentai that shows your flat tummy!

I was pleased to find the newest costumes on Udreamycostumes.com and so many new concepts and looks. The gundam cosplay costume has so many variations and the characters are popular with both adults and children. So if you are going to a party or out on the town you will get noticed. It will also bring a lot of attention to you if you are going to attend an office function or school party for your child. Make it fun! Go gundam!

Coupon Site? Don’t be Silly!

fashionxx — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 00:13:21 +0000

Most of these so called coupon sites are a waste of time. Things you don’t need and deals where you have to buy so many of this before you get the big discount or they want a monthly fee! Not any more because I found the Socialdealspot.com website and I am loving it. So easy to sign up that it literally took me 2 minutes to sign up with my email address and get the registration email in a few seconds.

That is just where the fun begins. Immediately on sign up I went to the site and found a deal in Kansas City for cleaning that was 30% off the normal price. Nice thing is that I didn’t have to buy anything else, I got what I wanted and I didn’t have to pay a membership fee. So sweet! It is so much better than any other deal of the day websites and if you want to advertise your business you won’t find a faster way to build customers. Check it out!

fashionxx — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 21:46:45 +0000

From the runways of Milan to the streets of New York City, jewellery is fashion.Trendy tassels on long dangling earrings are a sexy look this year. Combined with Cabochon-style stones in big cuts with soft colours white gold rings and silver charm bracelets are all the rage. A single piece of jewellery can complete an outfit, freshen a look or change a classic outfit from business to pleasure without undressing. Jewellery is as personal as clothing and finding your specific style is tough without the help of a designer or a personal shopper. Most women are completely comfortable pairing their standard gold bracelets with some matching earrings, but to find a truly unique piece of jewellery and have it blend seamlessly with your lifestyle is not quite as easy.

fashionxx — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 22:12:42 +0000

Amy Winehouse left us too early when she died in her London home but she left a fashion statement that was admired and copied constantly. She brought back the shapely styles of the early 60′s and an eye catching bee hive hair do that became her trademark. Her curvaceous body was ready made for tight tops showing clevage and skin tight jeans or short skirts to match.

I miss you all ready Amy!

Fake? Don’t Support It!

fashionxx — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 03:46:09 +0000

So many designers are up in arms over fake copies of their hard work and I am with them 99.99%. Ebay recently joined in on a online battle and offered like ten designer purses from top fashion designers like Jason Wu, Sophie Theallet and Rebecca Minkoff. They had a big kickoff party in New York and are fighting well drinking wine mad about knockoffs of their work. I believe that they have a right to their ownership but they are so expensive and what about the people who can’t afford a designer bag? This is an ongoing issue and I am supportive of their cause but I believe some kind of compromise will need to be worked out. Because after all! Even poor girls love fashion! =)

Step Away from Mundane

fashionxx — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 13:57:36 +0000

June is the traditional month for marriage but the last wedding I attended was not what I would call traditional at all. It has become so popular now for a theme as everyone comes up the aisle. The acrobats and the dancing plus singing has really made the old hold the veil entrance obsolete. No one can deny it is exciting to see what they come up with though!

It seems like a never ending quest to find a unique wedding gown and with the number of bridal stores dwindling it is even harder. Not every city has a place like wedding dresses by Priscilla of Boston which carries so many unique dresses that you will find it hard to make a choice! However they do have a website now so you can see some of their brilliant work and find a bridalsalon that carries them near you.
