Rolling Stone Covers: Pop Divas

I was recently searching for photos of Donna Summer and I found one from her cover of Rolling Stone Magazine that was a part of a bigger series on Pop Divas. I wanted to share some of these covers with you. They reflect the style of the time and also it shows how some of these musicians style has evolved. And one adage remains true: Sex Sells (or the illusion of it, a youthful figure, firm round breasts, big eyes with long eyelashes, lipstick lips, skin, cleavage, legs etc)

Herve Leger dresses are the next best thing since…?



So recently I think I’ve been seeing every celebrity wearing a Herve Leger “bandage”dress. I think it was Rachel Bilson I saw recently that wore it the best, to the Max Azaria show! So simple and chic. I’m wondering how expensive they are, and are the next “it dress” on the fashion scene? I esp love the way they can hug curves, so If you’re a full bodied girl like Beyonce, or Alicia Keys the Herve Leger dress fits any figure.

Fashion Trend at the 2008 Grammys: Beautiful blues and Mellow yellows

Everyone was out in full swing at the 2008 Grammy Pre-shows and main event and after parties. The 2008 Grammy Awards were held at the Staples Center on Sunday in Los Angeles. Here are some of our favorite ladies who were heating up the red carpet in what seems to be the big trend for this season: colors!

I’m loving Nelly Furtado’s greek-like wrap dress in this bright hue of blue!

Its not often that we get to Ri Ri all covered, but I love this look a lot. What do you think?

Here she goes again in this pretty funky dress matching her asymmetrical bangs.

Alicia Keys was wearing a darker blue dress, but the pleated detail at the back really adds substance to the classy look

She looks great in this earth toned dress too.

Only Miss Bootyliscous herself, Beyonce, can get away with this…

Oh Fergie Ferge, “you know we love you long time”…

Ammm, when did lil Mama grow up? Loving the Chanel dress though!

La Lohan rocking those golden heels.

Cute Find: Like.com

Like.com lets you select a celebrity, anybody( guy or girl), whose style you like, I choose Alicia Keys and a pair of red gloves she wore at the New York fashion week.

1. they produce a couple images of Alicia Keys in different outfits
2. highlighting certain products such as items of clothing, jewelry and shoes they might be wearing
3. then you can click on these highlighted areas
4. and a page leads you to literally a plethora of choices of that same product.

Variations by price, shape, colors, and places to buy, but all are essentially the same style that you saw and liked on your fav star. Cool eh?

Play around with it at Like.com

BTW…this really makes me question myself about the whole idea of individuality. If every one can really now dress like everyone else, will we succumb and do it, or will we take bits and pieces and make it our own? Will we cease to be individuals?

Wrap It Up: Wrap dresses all around

Yesterday Alicia Keys wore this beautiful blue wrap dress to MTV’s TRL in New York City, and I thought she looked so beautiful, and it also made me want to run out a get a pretty wrap dress( what can i say , i’m jealous when it come down to fashiony stuff like dresses and shoes, can you blame me?)

The blue looks great on her skin and the complimenting blue eye make-up is really poping out. she was a lil bold to wear it with a leggings, I think a thinner leggings might have worked better, as the showing of the ankle truncates your body size and she’s already petite. But still cute!! And check out the blinging accesories! I’m looooovvvviinnnggg the ring! In the process of trying to cop my own pair right now, so if someone knows where to get one let me know before I start hammering away at home trying to get a wearable self-made peice.

Ofcourse like any fashionite should I love Diane von Furstenberg! and here are two reasons why:

julian Mini Wrap Dress $285.00 and LONA WRAP DRESS IN BLACK

So you know i’m all about saving money where I can. Well, i found these price grabbers that are lil on the thrifty side, without looking too cheap and hurridly sewn.

Palm Tree Wrap $20.80 from this greatglam.com website that carries a lot of party tops.

$21.45
by Mossimo® Black: Long-Sleeve Side Wrap Dress – Yay! TARJAY!
and Puff Sleeve Wrap Dress at asos.com $21.45..I’m really loving this color.
