The Look:Like a Hippie - Maxi Dresses

Recently we saw on many fashionistas the summer trend of the year:Maxi Dresses in bright colors!
Nicole,Mischa,Kate&La Lohan show that a hippie dress in combination with airy summer sandals look very refreshing. Hairstyle for the look?Natural make up with open hair or the Y-hair look à la Mary-Kate, Ashley and Nicole.No matter if printed with flowers,stripes or paisly patterns long dresses are perfect for breezy summer days.

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.

News:Marimekko for H&M

H&M designers have created a new and fresh summer collection with Marimekko's popular patterns from the 50's,60's and 70's.The collection has a graphical overall look in bright colors.It include wide dresses,tunics, shorts and skirts.There will be also a few items for kids and men.
Love this look and can't wait to see the pieces and try them!
Groovy Baby...

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...

Event Watch:Miu Miu After Show Party

After a great fashion week fashionista Chloe Sevigny invited the guests of the Miu Miu Pre-Fall show 2008 to celebrate in Paris' hot spot 'Le Castle' the succes of the latest collection. Mary-Kate Olsen,Mischa Barton,Milla Jovovich,Julia Restoin Roitfeld and Lara Stone were only 5 of the 30 guests.Hostess Chloe changed her outfit during the party - what she wore?Of course Miu Miu!
My favorite outfit of the evening was MK's.Love her scarf and the red XL-
chemise....

Gossip:Harlow Winter Kate Madden

Finally the first pics of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden's first daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden were repushled in US People magazin.

Harlow looks so cute and like her mother.I can't wait to see more pics of this young fashionista....

Runway Review:Giambattista Valli Spring 2008 Ready to Wear

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.....

The Look:Black&White - Chanel Half toned Shades

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....

The Look:Homage to Mini Mouse- White Heart Sunnies

I remember when I was younger I owned a pair of heart sunnies like those who Kelly,Kimberly and Britney

wear on these pics.They look very cute but they're definately more convenient for young chicks - like you and me!Summer can come with this sweet homage to Mini Mouse...

News:Mischa Barton for Iceberg

After rumors and her mugshot it-girl and actress Mischa Barton got out of style.Now she's back.In the latest campaign of grand label Iceberg Mischa looks pretty good,even if she seems a bit dark and bad.

Hope Miss Barton will get better soon...

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...

Event Watch:Charity at NY Fashion Week - Cipriani Gala

It's Fashion Week in New York.Time for couture,luxus and glamour.Beyond
all that glitters and the champagne VIPs like Hollywood stylist Rachel Zoe,Vogue chefs Anna Wintour and Carine Roitfeld (together with daughter),designer Roberto Cavalli and topmodel Natalia Vodianova attend the Cipriani Gala.On that evening the 'rich and famous' donated over 900.000$ for amfAR charity Aids-research organisation.
Afterwards everyone enjoyed Marc Jacobs documentation 'Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton' at 'Tribeca Grand' hotel.All in all a great event with a great aim!

The Look:Sweet Valentine - Simple Red Dresses

On 14th February it's again time for a bit love love in the air:Valentine's Day!Even if there are still 9 days left to get the perfect present for your darling lately more and more stars showed up in simple red dresses.
The homage to LOVE is never getting really 'out'.Red dresses - no matter if tube,simple or with sleeves - look good on 90% of the woman.
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!

The Look:A little bit of Love - Red Scarves

Nicole has one,Ashley has one,Kate has one and I have one too!
As you can see above I'm talking about simple red scarves.Of course they are not very special but they could give a covered outfit an interesting touch.
My favorite look:A red scarf together with a black white combination, especially stripes (--> Nicole)!
A little bit of Love every day....

Event Watch:SAG Awards 2008

After the Golden Globes were canceled yesterday every important star from the film business enjoyed hisself at the 14th Annucal Screen Actors Awards.Brangelina,The 'Desperate Housewives',Amanda Bynes,Ashlee Tisdale,Cate Blanchet...nearly everyone was there!

Especially the dresses of the ladies were a little foretaste what we've to exspect at this year's Oscars - Glamour!But I've to say that there wasn't a outfit that looked really breath taking to me but as written it was just a foretaste.Anyway Marcia Cross looked good with a contrast blue dress to her red hair.Even if half of guests were pregnant they seemed to enjoy themselves,but who wouldn't?!
