In these days of recession, we can’t all afford to go to the salon on a regular basis and that’s why we need to figure out how we can save at the salon instead of blowing our money away. Here are some useful tips on how you can save money at the salon. Tip #1: Go With a Protegee If you’ve been seeing a top stylist for a while, but can’t really afford him/her anymore, try their protegee (junior person) which they have trained. This way, you’ll save some money and get the cut and style you want. Tip #2: Go for Something Simple If you just want to freshen up your ha...

I must admit that I’m not a big fan of Lady Gaga’s, even though I find myself singing along to her songs from time to time (they are catchy after all). But one thing I do admire her for is her fashion forward attitude. She’s not afraid to step out of the box and wear something completely unconventional and out of this world. Recently, Lady Gaga wore a futuristic-inspired white ruffle dress at the Z100 Jingle Ball last December and I just had to bring it up! When I saw this dress it reminded me of a white flower bed as well as something out of dreams and fantasies…but d...

At the Hollywood premiere of the hit movie “Monsters vs. Aliens”, actress Reese Witherspoon graced the red carpet with a very futuristic-inspired minidress. Although not a conventional look, Reese managed to pull the look off by keeping everything else clean and simple. What do you think of Reese’s futuristic minidress? For starters, Reese looks good in almost anything so it’s only natural that this minidress also does her justice. But of course, I do think she could have gone with something different – maybe something a little more earthy? Either way, she pulls ...

So I admit that I’m not a huge Fergie fan, but that doesn’t mean that I’m going to put down her outfit because of that. When I first saw this picture, I thought…wow, okay, Fergie’s taken her outfits down a notch. I couldn’t believe what a simple dress she had chosen…until I scrolled down and saw her shoes. Now I know that being a celebrity, gives these people the right to try new things and experiment with fashion…but sometimes it’s just a little too much. They need to step back, take a good look at themselves in the mirror and assess the ...

Lucy Liu isn’t in the spotlight as much as we would like her to be, but that’s ok. She obviously keeps herself shielded from the Hollywood drama, but I was wondering what you all thought of her outfit at the Vanity Fair Character Project. Now I’m not a really daring, statement-making fashionista, but I do love my shoes and once in a while, I’ll go for something non-traditional. So what do you think of Lucy’s statement-making outfit? Personally, I couldn’t pull that off, simply because of the collar. Other than that, I love how this dress fits on her and I l...

Designers like Christian Lacroix and Giles are bringing out the hottest skeletal adorned fashions for this spring. Check out these skeleton-inspired styles: Alexander McQueen Christian Lacroix Lydia Courteille Lady Grey ...
