Have you guys heard of Chicisimo?

Maybe I’m the only one that’s not on this site. I found some of the fashion worlds biggest bloggers like Sea Of Shoes, and even some pretty cool inspirational ones from all over the world I’ve never even heard of.

it’s a snapshot of world fashion trends, one street and wardrobe at a time.

It’s to addictive, but in a good way ( like polyvore) its like having all your favorite blogs in one place, but with a heavy focus on outfits and the details in the outfits, that answers our question when we look at a picture we want to imitate ” where did she get that?”…

Take a peep, check it out, it will help you spice up your wardrobe and give you ideas of how to wear the stuff you already have.

What I do, is find someone that has similar features to me ( like height, hair and color) and look at the stuff they wear, because if it suits them I’m more confident that i can get away with that look too. Its no art, and that might be a ridiculous thing to do, but oh well.

Want to be a part of chicisimo? Here is how.

My baby, Mr.Jahaute, has suggested that I show the world what people are wearing in Jamaica. To be honest I was a lil hesitant because really we wear the same thing everyone wears in places like US, UK or even Germany, just less of it…lol

I have managed to get some good shots of people. Here’s the first of the batch, a picture of a girl at a popular outdoor party called Good Times, in Kingston Jamaica.
See what I mean by less? If you’d like to see more let me know.

Oh heck…Paris Haute week just wrapped up and we’re on the heel of NYC fashion week, and of course there is still the heated debate about the “toothpick thin” models. What to do, what to do? The industry is certainly getting a lot of pressure from people both within and outside.
Shoot, I say let it be. These people have built an empire on skinny-ness being the epitome of a great model (ok except Tyra Banks – who claims she was never bone thin, on her Larry King Interview last night).
But I digress, point is Rome was not built in one day, and it’ll probably take more days to renovate. The fashion industry needs a self-evaluation and a make-over, true. Most of these models have a steady diet of fruits, miso soup and cigarettes, true. It will take more than talk to have more “healthier” looking models on the runway, true.
We know for sure that they’ll be a staple on the London catwalks
What’s you’re two cents on the issue?
