Celebrities and Tanktops

I expect that everyone reading this has at least a couple of tank tops in their wardrobe right now. It is just such a useful piece of clothing. A white tank top can really go together with a huge amount of different styles and outfits. If you are just heading out for a relaxed day around town, and you are wearing jeans, a tank top is the perfect thing to just throw on and go. You can also achieve many slightly smarter or ‘smart/casual’ looks by doing nothing more than just adding a few accessories to your outfit – such as a fashionable scarf, or some nice-looking jewellery. You can combine a tank top with a short skirt to achieve some great summer outfits, or with a longer skirt to get a kind of ‘business chique’ look, which can be great for the office. The tank top is also a favourite of many celebs, like Selena Gomez, Jennifer Aniston, Pixie Lott and Milla Jovovich.

Fashion for eBay

Charity performs a very important function in our world. We all have a responsibility to help those that are, for whatever reason, in a position that is less stable than our own. Many of us do our bit for charity, but it seems to be that the better off a person is, the more they can, and should, do for charity. And many celebrities are amongst the most well-off, rich and powerful people out there. This means that we should look to them to support the charities of the world, and by extension to support and improve the lives of the less fortunate. There have been instances, for example, where celebrities have donated items of fashion for auction on the online marketplace eBay. Shirley Bassey, Roger Federer and Katy Perry have all donated various pieces in the past to help raise money for charity.

Lingerie Museum

Posted on by

In Los Angeles, or more specifically in Hollywood, just a few blocks away from the famous Chinese Theatre, there is a rather garish and large building. It is painted grey and pink, and stands out rather distinctly from the surrounding buildings. This unique building is called Frederick’s of Hollywood, and is a very famous and very distinguished lingerie store. Here you can buy an extremely wide range of different lingerie styles and types. But what is particularly cool and unique about this store, and what makes it suitable for this blog, is the so-called ‘Celebrity Lingerie Hall of Fame’. Here one can walk about and view their exhibits, which consist of lingerie worn by the rich and powerful at important events. Some examples include a top worn by Madonna, the boxer shorts worn by Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump and a corset worn by Ingrid Bergman. Check it out if you’re ever in the area.

Ankle Boots

One of the most popular items of footwear fashion for female celebrities in recent years has certainly been the ankle boot. It seems like you cannot go five minutes without seeing another female actress, pop star or television personality wearing these boots. And there are a number of very good reasons why it is a good idea to wear ankle boots. Probably the most important one health wise, is that they give your ankles far more support than other types of high heeled shoes such as strappy sandals, because of the tight fitting top part that surrounds the ankle. Big names such as Pippa Middleton, Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez have been spotted about town wearing various styles of these ankle boots. And if these big name stars are wearing them, then you know that they are definitely in style.

Celeb Gift Sets

Posted on by

Now that we are getting very close to Christmas, I expect that lots of people have already got all of their presents sorted out and bought. But if you are anything like me, you will have left them until the last minute! A good idea for a gift, if you know someone that is really into fashion and the celebrity culture, are celebrity-endorsed beauty or fragrance gift sets. These can come in many different styles, qualities and price ranges, so of course you don’t have to spend a fortune on them. And with our culture’s obsession with celebrities, they are certainly not rare. Amongst the celebrities that have an associated fragrance or beauty gift set are Mariah Carey, Hillary Duff, Elizabeth Taylor, Britney Spears and Usher.

Celebrity Labels

Do you guys think it’s a little bit strange that suddenly nowadays, every celebrity seems to feel the need to come up with some kind of foray into the fashion industry/fashion world? I just saw the news that rapper Kanye West has announced plans to debut his own fashion line at the Paris Fashion Week, and it made me realise that I seem to have been seeing this trend an awful lot recently. Since when did all celebrities turn into fashion designers?  There are so, so many stars that have tried producing fashion lines in the last few years – Jessica Simpson, Jay-Z, P-Diddy, Beyoncé Knowles, Victoria Beckham, Lindsay Lohan – the list goes on and on. It’s hard to think that most of these ventures are anything more than blatant opportunism, an attempt to grab more and more money out of the popularity of celebrity culture and fashion culture.

Competition Time

Singer Leona Lewis has always been a great lover of fashion, she tells us. It’s certainly quite likely – she always appears to be very fashionable and well-dressed, whether she is singing on stage, or just being herself. And now she is taking another big step into the fashion world. The singer, along with creative opportunities company Talenthouse, has just announced a competition that will surely have budding amateur and professional fashion designers alike everywhere licking their lips in anticipation. The competition is simple: design an outfit for Leona. It is open for everyone, and Leona will wear a professionally-created version of the winning design at a major performance. This is such an amazing opportunity – one that won’t come along every day – so if you are an aspiring fashion designer, get to work on some possible designs! Maybe you can try a motorcycle helmet… ;)

Shaved Heads

Posted on by

So children, today’s topic will be…shaved heads on women! Associated as it is with traditional ideas of masculinity (skinhead culture, football hooligans, ‘tough’ men), you could well be forgiven for thinking that a shaved head could never work on a woman. And in a lot of cases this notion is proved to be pretty accurate. One famously thinks of the whole Britney Spears debacle, where she shaved her head during an intense period of depression. The look did not do her any favours, although given her emotional and psychological state at the time she can perhaps be forgiven for thinking it might work. But we also cannot forget about actress Natalie Portman’s shaved head look. The actress had the haircut for her role in the movie V for Vendetta (the shave is actually shown onscreen). Portman is someone who can really make the shaved head style work; she actually looks quite good. So never assume anything!

Long Socks

Posted on by

A fashion trend that is still quite new, and therefore still very fashionable, is that of long, thigh-length socks. Apparently this trend was kick-started by actress Blake Lively when her character in the TV show Gossip Girls appeared on screen wearing this type of sock. Since then, many other celebrities have taken up the trend, including such big names as popstar Rihanna and singer and actress Kirsten Dunst. This type of sock obvious bears connotations with tights and stay up stockings, and there’s definitely some ideas of sexual attraction associated with these socks, as they help to define the shape of the legs. Another important asset of these longer socks is that they are awesome for the colder weather as we head into winter, as they obviously cover more of the legs than regular socks do.

Ali Lohan

Posted on by

I have just seen Ali Lohan’s fashion photo-shoot for fault magazine, a fashion and celebrity news magazine. To be absolutely honest with you, until just now I had never heard of Ali Lohan. Apparently she is the fashion-model-and-actress younger sister of controversial actress, pop-star and model Lindsay Lohan. And, again to be completely honest with you, I don’t really know what Lindsay Lohan has done either, although her name is better known to me than her sister’s. Anyway, the various news and gossip sites and blogs that I’ve visited are all fired up over these photos, in which Ali apparently shows off a radically different look to what she had before. To be fair, she is only 17 years old, but apparently people are discussing whether or not she has had plastic surgery to achieve her new look. Check the photos out here and judge for yourself.
