Are you feeling Leona’s new look from the line of clothes she created? These outfits have started a wave of rumors around the internet that the British Pop Star has had some plastic surgery on her breasts.

Perhaps, she just decided to take the babies out for a spin. And as for her outfit and her new style direction; I say change is good.

Let’s not be hypocrites, we all keep trying until we get to a style that moves away from being trendy and in fashion, until we get to something that comes naturally, that’s personal style.  She’s just having fun and evolving in the process.

The debate seems to be never ending about whether high waisted pants are a sensical fashion choice, or not? The last poll I did, more than 80% of you hate it.

But I’ve seen far more people wearing (and wearing it well) high waisted skirts.

Pencil High waisted skirts can fit almost any body type. It elongates the legs and emphasizes the bust area and minimizes the waistline. Shoot, do we need any more reasons to hop on this trend?

Ciara visited MTV TRL this week, and as always looking good in those high waisted jeans, once again, I know how many of you feel about this trend, but for the rest that are a little bit daring take the plunge with the look for less. I really like the Grey Ant jeans, but it doesnt fit into the “less $$” category, so I found this cute jean, at ASOS, but it doesnt seem to have any stretch.

Forever 21 white cotton ruffled front blouse is very similar to Ciara’s look availible for $19.80

Forever 21 Patent belt, also availible in yellow, black and white. $7.80

Grey Ant High Waist Braid Jean $330.00

Found these at ASOS for a more economical $64.35

I am a jeans fein, I seriously have pairs upon pairs. I can’t seem to resist when a new wash, new cut or new trend emerges. I feel really comfortable in jeans; I wear them in the office, to a night out and a day shopping with the girls.

Well about two years ago, I remember Scarlett Johansson wearing some pretty fierce looking high waisted jeans at a Imitation of Christ fashion show, swaggering her hips down the runway like a vixen with a cigarette. I thought she looked like a 70’s disco dancer.
And now I see them on many of my fave shopping sites, in stores and then I even saw this Diesel ad and the pants that look kinda cute( if you look like the model)?

I’m kinda on middle ground about my feelings for this trend. I think it can be hot, and funky. But I’m a little bit intimidated though as to whether I’d take the leap and buy a pair.
What do you think? They can be very Charlie’s Angels as well as they can be very, well, Murder She Wrote, if you get my drift.
