Back To School Fashion Trends

I ran over to the mall this morning to get a new battery for my watch. BIG mistake. I would guess that every intermediate and high school student in the county was there buying new outfits to wear to the first day of school tomorrow. Growing up I went to Catholic school, so needless to say, my summers weren’t spent doing the mall crawl searching for the perfect back to school ensemble. Rather, my mom spent the better half of the summer sewing school uniforms (navy blue slacks and skirts paired with white shirts and navy blue block knot ties). … Continue reading →

Celebrity Tidbits: Stepping In, Stepping Out, and Stepping Up

STEPPING IN Actress Mary-Kate Olsen is stepping into a new role. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the former “Full House” star has signed on to be a recurring character on Showtime’s “Weeds.” Network executives confirm that Olsen will appear in 10 of the 15 episodes of the show’s next season. Olsen is reportedly “thrilled” to be making her return to television, though her new role is a far cry from the goodie-goodie PG characters viewers are used to seeing her portray. Let’s face it; “Weeds” isn’t your typical 7 o’clock family-oriented fare—-it’s an adult show with adult subject matter and … Continue reading →

Trendy Tee’s and Jeans – on a Budget

I’ll admit, I’ve always been a “t-shirt and jeans” gal. Frankly, nothing makes me happier than a comfy pair of jeans paired with a basic white shirt and some sneakers. Maybe it is a pre-mid life crisis, but lately I’ve grown tired of looking like I walked out of a Gap commercial. It’s time to spice things up a bit. Thankfully, I was able to consult with two of my favorite frugal fashionistas (my cousins) during our holiday get-together. Trust me, these gals could give the folks at Project Runway a run for their money. My college aged cousin (Ally) … Continue reading →

Actress Sued For Wearing The Wrong Watch

There was a time in my life when I felt naked without my watch. I was a TV reporter and deadlines ruled my life. Then I had a baby, and my watch and I took an extended vacation from each other. These days I spend more days looking for my watch than wearing it, which is why this next story about an Oscar-winning actress and her multiple timepieces caught my eye. According to news reports, Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil is suing actress Charlize Theron for wearing a Christian Dior timepiece when she was supposed to wear only Weil watches. The … Continue reading →

Fall Fashion Preview—Short Skirts and “Acid” Accents

With temperatures hovering near MINUS 15 degrees Fahrenheit (at least here in the Upper Midwest) it’s hard to think about wearing short, flirty skirts. But, short hemlines are one of the first trends to emerge from New York Fashion Week. The annual event, currently underway in the Big Apple, is drawing huge crowds of celebrities, their stylists, fashion editors and retailers. In a previous blog I listed some of the first must-have items to emerge from the runways. This blogs recaps some of the other trends revealed at yesterday’s shows. While the rest of the country was prepping to watch … Continue reading →

Fashion Forward? WARNING Labels On Clothes For Obese People

When you think of the types of labels attached to pieces of clothing what comes to mind? I think of washing/care instructions, size labels, and the price tag. I have never seen or considered placing a warning label on clothing–besides the fire resistant labels on children’s pajamas. But, that may be changing if a leading British professor gets his way. Naveed Sattar, professor of metabolic medicine at the University of Glasgow, wants warning labels placed on the clothes obese people buy. According to news reports, Sattar is suggesting that oversized clothing should have obesity help line numbers sewn on them … Continue reading →

Fashion Disaster: Lady in Red Times Four… Oh My!!

It’s every female’s worst nightmare—showing up to a formal event wearing the same dress as another guest. If you think that’s bad consider this TRUE story about that very predicament happening to three women and the party’s famous hostess at a much-publicized event. The Kennedy Center Honors is regarded as one of Washington’s biggest nights for stars, and glamorous fashion. Last Sunday hundreds of socialites turned out in their designer gowns at the exclusive White House reception that goes with the ceremony. But, the buzz around the room wasn’t about the night’s big honorees; rather chatter centered around a single … Continue reading →

Celebrity Fashions—Hot Or Not?

When it comes to celebrity fashion beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But, whether you think a star’s look is “hot” or “not” it is likely that said celebrity more than likely dished out a ton of cold hard cash for a look that (they at least think) sizzles. The following items have recently graced the pages of fashion magazines—some merely because Hollywood A- listers were spotted modeling them in public. Far Out Frames Bespectacled individuals know even the most mundane frames can be costly. So how much would you pay for a pair of Alain Mikli glasses, … Continue reading →

Fashion Trends—Would You Wear It?

It’s that time of the week again… time for another edition of “Fashion Trends—Would You Wear It?” A blog dedicated to the latest trends modeled by Hollywood’s elite. Recently, I have been adding at least one trend that I would actually shell out money for, though as regular readers of this blog know I am a bit conservative, so super short skirts, belly baring shirts and fingerless fishnet gloves never score well with me (though they may with you). In keeping with tradition here are a few recent fashion trends as made popular by stars and their friends, included is … Continue reading →
