Curves Ahead

Most of you have probably seen this by now but I absolutely love these pictures from V Magazine - "Size Issue,"which clearly shows how gorgeous curves can look in jeans. It shows how jeans flatters all shapes and sizes. And yes!! even skinny jeans.

“I loved the opportunity to show that you can be beautiful and sexy outside the narrow interpretations that normally define us.” Sove told V Magazine.

Denim skirts are back!!

It is only right denim skirts are on the 2010 fashion radar - it is the 80s comeback this year!

.........I am loving the Brian Reyes (Middle) skirt.

Amber Rose in Double Denim

What do you guys think of this look?

Trend Alert: Double Denim

Growing up, I always considered denim on denim a no go area, a big fashion NO, NO!! That stuck in my head from time. I really do not know where I got the no "Denim on denim" rule from but now, any 21st century fashionista would know there are no more rules when it comes to fashion, anything goes with everything or do we still have rules? I really do not know anymore!

Well, Vogue states the freshest way to wear denim this season is twice as nice. Head-to-toe denim is appearing on most Spring 2010 shows and by the looks of things, it is time to change my mind frame.. (just a bit though)





Also note the mix up textures: Chloe had patchwork jeans with a chambray shirt, while the jeans at D&G and Ralph Lauren were ripped and frayed........ oh so 90s!

Motel Spring 2010 Ultra High Waist Denim

Talk about throwback fashion and that is exactly what UK brand Motel - the makers of vintage inspired ladies clothing- have done. They have taken us back to the fun 80s with their Spring 2010 collections and check out their incredibly ultra high waisted denim.... totally in love with these.



The crop top look is really cute and anyone can rock this look..... so funky & fun.





I need this cuteness...


Motel is also well known for their bodycon and feminine silhouettes which are inspired by 80's structuring and funky/ethnic prints. check out the dresses here

(.......Psst - They are so affordable!)

I might stock up on these for the store actually, hmmmm.

YSL Denim T-Strap Sandals

Weekend was fun and I got to go wedding dress shopping with my gorgeous friend and one would have thought I was the bride.  Fun times! 

While at Selfridges, we decided to shoe shop and I saw these Yves Saint Laurent 'Tribute' in deep-blue denim and wow! they are so gorgeous in person. 





They are so cute and could be worn best with non-denim outfits or on a fab dress like this gorgeous frock by Tracy Reese Judy dress from The white Dress Shop

Stephanie Pratt in Charley 5.0

The Hill's star Stephanie Pratt seen in LA in a pair of Charley 5.0 Skinny Mini Denim Leggings - no better time than chilly cold winter for leggings, especially with all our layering for this chilly weather.

 

Loving this Look - Victoria Beckham

Wow! It has been a long week thanks to the adverse weather which then resulted to the emergency working round the clock hours at work. But it is the weekend and it is still freezing! Hope you all stayed warm and took amazing pictures of the snow?

I totally love this casual yet so stylish look by Victoria Beckham. She is out with her sons to the movies, wearing a pair of Stella McCartney Ankle-zip skinny jeans, a Jonathan Saunders Jersey printed tank top....love it!




Here she is again at LAX with sons, also in Stella McCartney jeans. Her bag looks so delicious.



Stars' Closets

Happy Monday guys, finally back at work, back to my daily routine or like my new friend said to me - back to my lifestyle! It is actually not a busy day so I decided to get on with the business side of 1511th and while at it, I came across this arcticle on Instyle which I could not resist sharing, click on the link to read the full article. It is a peek....really a fraction of a peek into some stars' closets, here are a few of my favourites.

Christina Aguilera shows us one out of the two closets in her home in LA. I nearly missed her little man standing there.
First stop: Shoes. "Everything on my shoe wall is grouped by designer—Louboutin, McQueen, YSL—all in their own little family," says Aguilera. "And there's room for boots up top." The hyper-organized singer also has zones for her jeans, jackets, coats, skirts, sweaters and jewelry in the ultra-glam room, complete with a chandelier and leopard-print rug.


Olivia Wilde transformed guest room and sitting room of their Venice, Calif. townhouse into a walk-in closet and a refined, comfortable office for the actress - This is my fav so far, it is so me!
 A perfect home for her many red-carpet dresses and favorite red shoes. The walk-in's decadent centerpiece is a 19th-century mirrored vanity (flanked by two mirrored chests from Anthropologie). "It's from the South of France and has never been restored," she says.


Eva Longoria Parker this is as cute as her, so her!
The 133-square-foot master closet in Eva Longoria Parker's L.A. home is full of gorgeous gowns, shoes, shirts—and a coveted Hermes hot-pink crocodile Birkin bag. Taking a glance through her impressive shoe collection she calls her Christian Louboutin espadrille wedges "a beautiful pain" (she sprained her ankle wearing them in Paris) and says she has "always dressed for comfort", which is easily confirmed by the 50 pairs of jeans and more than one pair of Ugg boots. "Tony loves me in Uggs. He says, 'Wear your Hugs, honey'—that's how he pronounces it with his French accent."


Nicky Hilton also has two "very organized" couture-filled walk-in closets
Her shoe collection, which isn't raided by her friends or family because of her size 10.5 foot, is organized by designer."My Manolos are together, Chanels are together, Louboutins together." Besides the 200 or more handbags she owns, one of Hilton's prized pieces is a Roberto Cavalli beaded butterfly minidress that the designer gave her for her 24th birthday. "I was in Milan and he told me to pick whatever I wanted from his showroom!" she says.


Kimora Lee Simmons (I realllllllly, really love her!). She combined two bedrooms in her 49,000-square-foot Saddle River, N.J. home to create her expansive walk-in closet.
"I wanted my closet to look like a boutique," she says. It contains over 500 pairs of jeans, 35 custom-made Hermes Birkin bags and an extensive collection of jewelry. The closet, which is decorated with leopard-print carpet, marble columns, a mini-bar, and flat screen tvs, only holds some of her clothes—the overflow is stored in other bedroom closets. Everything in her closet is photographed and stored on her computer so she can easily put together outfits, "I'm very neurotic is what my closet says about me," she says. "It's always in great order."


Mariah Carey has an enormous, climate controlled closet in her 12,000 square foot Manhattan triplex. However, the vast space still can't contain all of Mariah Carey's shoes.
"I have about 1,000 pairs of shoes. But lots are in storage," she says. Carey designed the sweeping space with gold-leaf and bleached-wood floors. "Like Louis Vuitton luggage," she says, "it will only look better over time." Few girls would be able to fill the closet, which is arranged by color and material, as well as in event-specific groupings. "If someone else ever bought it [the apartment], she'd have to be a total diva!"


Paula Abdul has an impressive walk-in closet in her 5,000 square foot Mediterranean style home in the San Fernando valley.  (This looks alot like my mum's back when I was young..er)
All her outfits and coordinating accessories are numbered with tags so she can easily pack for trips and events. Her impressive shoe collection is made up mostly of high-heels—"I always wear heels unless I'm working out," says Paula Abdul, who is just over five feet. Even with all of those shoes the former choreographer claims, "A comfortable pair of jeans, a great belt, and a leather jacket is all I need."


Jamie-Lynn Sigler's 200-square-foot closet was created by Anthony's Custom Closets in Long Island and the new setup helps keep her designer dresses, bags, countless pairs of Genetic jeans, and over 75 pairs of shoes organized.
"For years I have not been able to find anything in my closet," says Sigler. "Now I see all my clothes shoes and accessories, even some stuff I completely forgot I had .. with the tags still on them!"


Instyle also has the Ultimate WardrobeWorksheet to download. Click here to try it out, I will as I have some clothes at the back of my closets and under my bed that I keep forgetting I have. This actually comes in handy especially at this time of the year when you have the urge to look fab everyday and wear all your clothes...lol

Let me know how it goes.

Jessica Szohr on Teen Vogue cover

Jessica Szohr of Gossip Girl, appears in the February issue of Teen Vogue looking ever so gorgeous!



She is wearing Thread Social Chambray shorts - **Trend Alert - Chambray fabric is looser and less structured than normal denim and it is one of the hottest trends of 2010 and will be huge for Spring/Summer. It is such a stylish way to rock denim. A lot of designers including Jason Wu, have shorts, jumpsuits and jackets from the fabric**
She also has on a Peter Som coat, See by Chloe T-shirt, Vena Cava necklace and Alexander Wang shoes.



And here are some behind the scene pictures  - she is so cute, I love her dimples, reminds me of what I see when I look in the mirror...lol sorry
