Trend Alert: The Hip Ruffle?

Though I loved the look on Emma Watson back in June, I don't know, maybe it was just done right with the waist cinching then, I still can't get behind this 80's throwback that's been popping up everywhere. Some how placing a ruffle to accent the hips, just doesn't seem very flattering. 

What, do we need to fly with our hips or something?

Let me know what you think.

Monthly Fashion Favorites: June 2011

And the June Stylees go to...

There's something about the gentle color of this dress combined with the simple yet futuristic belt that makes me stand back and say "Wow, Rose, you look amazing!" The metal detailing adds a harder edge that making it a step above.

Rose McGowan 16 June 2011

I think it's the slight vampirey touch to this look that attracts me.

Chloe Sevigny 6 June 2011

Though her expression is not looking so fabulous, I'm always a sucker for the prairie/hippie/gypsy/boho look, especially when it's combined with a western inspired, tan leather belt. This look is so wonderfully Free People. Oh, and congrats on the great bod, Kirstie!

The insanely bright dress, combined with the almost cartoony make-up, somehow just works. When I see this ensemble, I think, comic super-hero going to a comic book ball, and because I secretly wish comics were real, I can't get over this look!

Emma Watson 5 June 2011

The soft, flowing shirt combined with the leather pants makes her look killer!! I'm sweet and pretty, but I can still kick your butt!! Hmm, more comic books are real fantasies again...Ha Ha

Menswear Inspired is IN...Just in Case You Haven't Noticed

Absolutely love this look! It works as casual, glam, or nostalgic. 

Wanna tone down the man vibe and give it a sexier feminine touch? 

Wear it with a silky, low cut blouse and super high stilettos.

For a softer look, wear your hair down with gentle waves, with a more pastel shade of fabric.

Trend Alert: The Skinny Belt

This is a trend that I think is quite adorable...the high waist, skinny belt.

Wear it with your cutest summer dress.

Trend Alert: Jumpsuit Much?

Not a trend for me, but a current fashion trend nonetheless. So if you can rock it, high-five to you!

Trend Alert: Futuristic

Think the futuristic style of Tron is affecting current fashion trends?

Look below, and let me know what you think.

Hmm, I wonder if Tron fashion will have as huge an impact as Pirates of the Caribbean and its skulls?

The subtle detailing of this dress gives it a futuristic look.

The stitching and metallic fabric scream space princess!

Miranda's dress has more of a Firefly fashion feel, which I super love, while Ashley's is a bit more Jetsons.

The odd seam placement and cutouts make this dress futuristically chic.

Paris Hilton 4 May 2011

Paris's dress and Jane Fonda's (below) both have a reptilian, Alien-esque feel that inspires thoughts of spaceships and Star Wars.

Style and Beauty Tip of the Day: Coconut Oil, Some Fantabulous Stuff!

So I've been using coconut oil on my hair, sometimes on my skin, for about a month now, and HOLY MOLY, what a fabulous difference it makes. My hair is so soft and satiny after using it. After washing my hair, I mix it with my conditioner and apply them together. Then I twist my hair up into a tight bun, and finish my shower, which for those of you who know me, takes about 30 more minutes. Then I rinse my hair in cold water, however, there is usual not much to rinse out because the oil and conditioner have soaked into my hair by then.

Remember, do not rinse your hair to the point of squeaky clean, only rinse to the point of silkiness. 

Coconut oil can also be used as a prewash.
Also, don't use too much at a time, or your hair will look super oil. It may take a few times using it before you find the right amount for your type of hair.

Here are some links with more information on the benefits of coconut oil.
