The Look:From Scotland to the World - Paisley Dresses

The paisley patterns always remind me to the cover of my grandma's chairs. Ok,that doesn't sound very good but anyway I like them. This year the bright patterns from the 19th century celebrate their comeback. The two Kates and world's most popular heiress are carrying their dresses on the street, but also at public appearances. I think you must be careful with this look because it can look like grandmomy's chair (Kate Bosworth) or like a Barbie (Paris Hilton). My favorite is Kate Hudson's because of the cut and the colors. If I'll find a cute dress I'd definately take it for summer,because it's so bright and just makes high spirits!

The Look:Do it yourself - Truncated Jeans Shorts


I remember last year when I cut a very expensive pair of jeans and my mother got crazy when she saw it so now here's a little letter to convince her:
Dear momy, you see I'm not the only one who likes to wear truncated jeans shorts. Nicole Richie, MK,Vanessa Hudgens and many other celebs wear them too and looks good.They're perfect for the beach with a top like Nicole wears it.A bit more urban and not only for hot summer days is the contrast with a long shirt with pushed up sleeves,a long filigree necklace and of course lots of bracelets.
I hope I could convince you and this year you won't be so upset when you'll see me in my cutty shorts.
Love Mimi

Beauty:Cute Present - Hair Bows









Maybe you already noticed that I'm a huge Walt Disney Film, especially of Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Minnie's trademark is of course the bow in her hair but she's not the only one who likes these cute accessory: For example Lisa (left) and Agathe (middle). The two fashion blogger already showed what such a little bow can make. Bows remind me to the time when I was younger. I loved wearing them in my hair with a dress and my fine patent leather flats. Over the years my opinion hasn't changed much: I still love bows but I prefer them with skinny jeans now, well I'm not a little girl anymore. I found a few old ones from my momy and bought this black satin hairband from H&M (right). With bows in your hair you can feel for one day a little bit like daddy's little girl,even if you're big.

The Look:Patched up - Bags in the Patchwork-Style

The idea of matching different pieces of leather and drapery together was already established in the age of the old Egyptians.
Fergie, Lindsay Lohan and Victoria Beckham just discovered the new art of patwork: Designer Bags. Fergie and La Lohan showed off with a D&G-bag, Posh Spice with a Miu Miu XL-bag.
Those two juicy bags can give a boring outfit more liveliness.
I love the Miu Miu bag since I saw them in the campagne with Kirsten Dunst. Really want to have one like this...

The Look:Ready for a Jump - Black Jumpsuits

The Olsen-twins and Nicole Richie are ready for a big jump in their black all-in-one-shorts-jumpsuits.Ashley showed of in 2005 with a satin jumper and black boots made by Calvin Klein at his fashion show. Three years later her twin sister Mary-Kate attended the afterparty for 21 by The Cinema Society and Calvin Klein Jeans in the same jumper.Her clue: A hot pink belt - well as we see sisters share everything! Meanwhile It-girl Nicole Richie was running some errands in a very similar jumpsuit by Alexander McQueen in 2007.As MK she pimped it with a belt.
I really like those jumpsuits and think they're great piece for summer but anyway not a must-have. For me Nicole wore it better because the ones of MK and Ash is a way too big. Maybe you'll see me jumping in such a suit in the summer...

I've been tagged...

After a little confusion I noticed that I've been tagged by everybody's darling Mocca and ApolloniaFashion so here we go with the rules but before I'll change to german language....

3. Ich bin davon überzeugt das Milch nach Kokosnuss schmeckt!
4. Ich brauche manchmal Monate um mich (sicher) für ein Kleidungsstück zu entscheiden und bringe es oft zurück.Manchmal kauf ich es dann aber wieder...

The Look:70's Revival - Bell Bottom Jeans

This summer fashion will make a little time travel back to the 70's when bell bottom/flare jeans had their big appearence.A few years ago the wide legged jeans already had a comeback but then they were displaced by skinny jeans.Mary-Kate Olsen showed off in 2006 with flare jeans, Posh 2006 and Nicole Richie recently.
We see: The flare jeans never really were gone from the fashion surface!

The Look:Fashion Stars


I'm sure Karl Lagerfeld was sitting under the starry sky when he designed the Chanel Spring/Summer collection 2008.But Mister Lagerfeld isn't the only one who was inspired by the shiny little gas balls. Comrade Yves Saint Laurent shoes and necklaces pepped with synthetic stars.
As always La moss and MK show us how to wear the latest trend:As a overall or a simple marine blue blouse for the evening.Both outfits are not my favorite ones.They remind me a bit to a pyjama I had when I was about 4 years old.Nicky Hilton's neckholder dress is something I would wear.It looks very cute and is not too much!This fashion star goes definately to Miss Hilton...

P.S. Did you notice?You really learn something here at fashionsmoothie :)

The Look:Born to style wild - Leather pants

Rrrrr - Posh,Blake,Rihanna and Ashley (?) look like real rock-chicks in there tight skinny leather pants.All the ladies style the biker wear to other black clothes like jersy shirts,boots or leather jackets.
Victoria Beckham looks quit elegant with the Hermès bag,the heels and her blazer.Against,Rihanna is rocking with boots,a leo bag and a short leather jacket.Like always the mix makes it!
I'm 50 to 50 about this look. I like it on Ashley and Posh best.Blake Lively looks ok too but Rihanna went a bit over the top for my taste.
I guess you won't see me in leather pants on the street....

The Look:Casual Chic - Simple Grey Shirts

It's a cozy day, you've enough time to go out for a walk or to meet your friends in the city.The weather outside is not the best but anyway warm.What to wear on a day like this?
A simple grey shirt!Nicole and Mary-Kate show that this basic piece can look amazing with jeans and a few accesoires like funny shades, painted nails or a few bracelets.I'm sure Kate Moss know exactly how to wear a grey shirt but maybe the paparazzi who took this photo of her caught a bad day.I really love my casual grey shirt and if I don't know what to wear I pick it and 'pimp' it with various bracelets.A perfect casual look for everyday and especially for school.

The Look:Black Maxi Skirts


If I hear the word 'black maxi skirt' I think of aweful fashion.Last year Mary-Kate Olsen showed the opposite:She looked wonderful in a long black jersy dress,simple white v-neck shirt and XL-cross necklace.I just loved it on her!And Mary-Kate is not the only one who likes the long piece:Kate Moss and Nicole Richie also showed off with long black skirts.
I really like them on those 3 ladies but can't imagine that it would look great on me.If I find a nice one I'll definately try it on...

On 20th March the official Spring stars so let's hope for better weather.
For the 19 left days we should equipment ourselves with the latest trends and must-haves for the bright season.So here's a little Runway Review from these year's Spring shows.Today:Giambattists Valli!
Already on 4th October last year the designer opened his show in Paris with a caftan shape that reminds (like the whole collection) to Veruschka.
On top Valli presented many dresses in white and pink.Change in style to the airy dresses were bold sandals that remind a bit to a stripper.
All in all Mister Valli did a well job.
Mary-Kate Olsen seemed to be same opinion as me:She showed off in the white mini dress Viviane Orth presented at 7th on Sale Gala in November.....

Karl Lagerfeld presented the half toned shades for the first time at Chanel Spring 2007 Ready to Wear show.Nicole Richie showed off many times with the special sunnies and looked really good.
Lately Mary-Kate Olsen presented her new pair of Chanel shades on her visit to Paris fashion week.
I'm obsessed with these shades!I love the woven verges with the classical Chanel sign and the round glasses.The half black and half white tinge gives an interesting and special look.Want them!

Event Watch:Oscars 2008



The night from Sunday to Monday was the night of the stars:For the 80th time the Acedemy Awards were according.
As every year the biggest Hollywood stars attendet the red-carpet event.
A little fashion watch shows that the color of the evening was definately red!Katherine Heigl,Heidi Klum,Helen Mirren,Miley Cyrus and many more ladies chose the classical color for the major event of the year.2nd prefered color was as always good old black.All in all the dresses seemed very unspectacular to me and I was very disappointed.
Let's hope next year for great,special,new and exciting robes!Maybe the ladies would exert themselves more if they would be honored with an 'Best dressed'-award.I should write a letter to the acedemy and ask for this new category....

Beauty:Peace - Hippie Hair

This hippie hair look is also called Y-hair because from behind it looks like an "Y".I guess it's one of the most easiest chic hair looks to style:Part your hair down the middle.Then take two sections of every site and fix it behind with a bracket.Only condition to look like a hippie:Long hair!
It looks best with natural curled hair (Mary-Kate Olsen).I really like this hair do,especially for summer.If my hair is long enough I'll try it too...
Peace!

Event Watch:BAFTA Awards

Unfortunately I'm ill so I'm really bored and have enough time to dish about fashion and the world....
After a short report about last night's Grammy Awards here's my event watch on a previous festival:The Orange British Academy Film Awards in London.Different than in the last year this year more famous stars from Hollywood and the british film scene showed off on the adapted orange carpet:Sienna Miller,Kate Hudson and a very blonde Jessica Biel.Even if not honored with an award John Galliano was the designer of the evening:5 ladies came in a Dior dress!
For sure the BAFTA Awards are only a little gala beyond Hollywood anyway the celebs looked very glamorous.I just felt a bit sorry for Keira Knightley who looked a bit sick in her metallic Valentino dress...

The Look:Fresh Fruits - Discovering Orange Dresses

Last week I was writing about red dresses now I'm writing about orange.
For sure you noticed more and more celebrity ladies showing off in orange glory...
I never really have been a big fan of the color orange but I've to say that I really liked it on Ashley Olsen and Alicia Keys:On Ash because she's young and made a great contrast with the blue scarf and on Alicia because it looks very pretty to her dark hair.
Sorry Posh,your kimono is nice too but nothing for a fashion show...

Event Watch:The Grammys 2008


Last night it was time for these year's Grammy Awards - the reall upbeat for the Oscars.Stars from music, fashion and other businesses came to get their throphies or just for fun.The red carpet seemed like a bright box of sweets when Rihanna&Co. hit it in their colorful dresses.A confused Amy Winehouse who just rushed from Rehab for the Award show was the winner of the evening.

I really enjoyed Carrie Underwood's fresh summer dress...<

The Look:Necklace Caps

When I saw a black (leather) cap with a necklace on it I think back to Britney Spears domina outfit at the MTV awards long time ago...
Around Thanksgiving Ashley Tisdale showed off with a more glamouros version of britney's old cap.And she's not the only one who likes caps pimped with gold necklaces:Pregnant Jlo was also spotted wearing a leather one.
I'm not sure about those caps.I think I would't wear them personally but really liked it on Ashley!

The Look:My Little Freakshow - Nerd Glasses

Chloe Sevigny is one,Daisy Lowe as well,Julia Dunstall soever and Ally Hilfiger of course too - a little "Fashion-Nerd".Latest trend in glasses:Big vintage glasses!
I really like the freaky look.It's funny and a great change in style especially to glamorous outfits.If I had to wear glasses for sure I'd buy the Ray Ban wayfarers or go and get a old one from momy's drawer.A stylish little freakshow for everyday...

I think it looks really good and cute.
Happy Valentine's day

The Look:Coco Mademoiselle - White Coats with Black Buttons

Spring is coming soon,hopefully but we still have winter!Here in Germany it's getting colder and there's also falling snow in my area.What to wear?
White coats with big black buttons!
Hayden,Miley and Kate show that this elegant look is also something for younger ladies and doesn't look bourgeois or busy - it's classic,chic, fresh and a nice alternative to black coats.
I love the one Hayden is wearing but I'm so sick of wearing warm jumpers,
coats and boots.I want to get my ballet flats out again!

Beauty:The new wave - Short Hair Cuts



First it was a Bob and than it became shorter with a Pixie.After 'Posh Spice' more and more female celebs cut their hair into a fresh,saucy wave à la Twiggy.Topmodel Agyness Deyn is famous for her short tuft and showed that it looks great.Latest member of the 'Short-Hair'-club singer Rihanna.
By launching her 'Fashion against Aids'-shirt at H&M the RnB queen showed a saucy,unusual short hair cut.

I'm 50:50 to this look.Sometimes I like it,sometimes I don't - always depense on the type.For sure it's more special and fresh than the normal long wave and a nice alternative,anyway I wouldn't cut my hair like this!
