TRes Chic! Les Paillettes!!

Now I know paillettes are just sequins by a fancier name, but I'm still a sucker. Not that I'm not entranced when they're called plain old sequins. I guess there is a bit of the magpie in me (right now I am currently trying to resist sequined Chuck Taylors and a sequined hoodie... Must. Hold. Out.)
I have to own up to being a bit "sold" by the feeling conjured by the word "paillettes". Of course the material is magical with their shiny candy colors. The style of the shoes and bag are not that unique but I've always liked a classic shape done in unique ways.
sequins and paillettes are back in a big way with starring roles in everything from glitzy gold coats to bespangled bags.I remember the times when paillettes were a fashion crime but i guess this  is a new era coz they're all over the runway!


I do rili love glitter so the use of Pailletes in design, genius!
Opt for their tops

Dresses
Shoes!
Bags and Clutches
ps..Glitter lips too!
                                                               and nails too ladies!


paillettes area a glamorous fashion trend and Based on a fashion predictions,paillettes will continue to thrive since fashionista experts are predicting a major glam movemets!
Fashion designer, Roberto Cavalli, has used these shimmer producing accents for his fabulous rockglam designs. Many more designers incorporate into their designs for that extra glitter...

That Darling Man


So I put together Little pieces of things i'd love to see men Wear..Seriously, theres nothing more sexy than a fashionable man, neat and defined, thats how I like them...You don't have to go wild shopping for trends, which men rarely do,...(wait..do they?)
Firstly,  try Colors..

and I dont mean PIMP colors ahem ahem!

A hat and Scarf..they do wonders on an outfit,
make sure they don't collide with your outfit though.
 Take note, a scarf and a Jacket..ultimate must have, brown and black are neutral so they go good with almost any outfit. If its hot, try a light cotton Jacket.

Get a hat...and Fast if you don't have one, I'd suggest you get fedora hat, wool is good.










color coordination is really important.....some outfits i picked...
 Very Hip collection, bases on Blue, you cant go wrong with Blue.

I love black vests on a man...









ps..skip the white hankies...go with plaid!


And its amazing what some white pants can do to your outfit....
If you're a lil heavy on the abdomen...skip the tight shirts..try something more a lil more spacey but not too loose
or try plaid shirts
Neat pair of clean socks in absofreakinlutetly necessary, no excuse!
And I don't know why most men don't love skinny Jeans..they look ridiculous hot!
And you can always try work it the African way


Some things you should  consider adding up to your outfit
I said this once, i think i need to say it again, we've seen em on Brad, we've seen em on Spence

 but But dear Gentlemen.. The Santa Claus Beard which takes over your face and have a life of their own, are not one bit Attractive...Its not that the look is over..its that..it was never in!..
 Note
This picture has nothing to do with the above statements..i just think Thiery Henry's  real hot

Its a Shoe's world out there


Actress Louise Roe  at the CBS, Showtime and CW TCA Summer Party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California... she looked Smashing
but did ya see her Shoes..platform pumps really scratched my eyes!
got me thinking its high time my shoe rack got some upgrades...
You gotta admit these babies are beautiful, the good thing about them is they add a twist to your outfit no matter what you're wearing..



And you gotta admit,Its a Shoe's world out there!

Chris Tucker in Debt

News around Hollywood is, Funny man Chris Tucker owes the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) $11.5 million in unpaid taxes. (He was paid $20 million for each film he starred in for the "Rush Hour" franchise btw) Apparently he owes that much to the IRS because he failed to pay taxes in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006(reports femalefirst) Aint IRS a Bitch! They just bitch slapped him right there!

And like that aint enough, he is also in $3.6 million worth of debt to the state of California..OUch!. Officials at the IRS have now filed documents with the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office to launch legal proceedings in the hope of retrieving the unpaid taxes. 
 Sad... But he'll spring back, hopefully.
You  know what that means right?....
Rush Hour 4 and 5 are o their way...

iLike: Heidi Klum


Heidi Klum attends the "Project Runway" Season 8 premiere at the Empire Hotel on July 28,New York City.

Marks & Spencer's Inspiration for New Men's underwear line: Robert Pattison

Robert Pattison Inspired an Underwear Line?!!!
Cooome ooon!  Marks and Spencer has announced that they are creating a men's underwear line inspired by the sexy Patti...seriously..some people...I wonder how he feels, most people inspire peace, love, togetherness, creactivity, power...this guy.....he inspired an underwear line ...Dunno why but that jus make me giggle...thats something to keep more girls Giddy if they do the 'Calvin Klein style Beckham Posters' But when you think about..How hot do u have to be for some to think 'Underwear' when they see you shopping..mmhh...
Anyway, the vampire-inspired slim-fit underwear collection of low-rise briefs and trunks is meant to be worn under skinny jeans like those sported by Russell Brand and, of course, Pattinson himself.
Sadly though,Patty the hottie will not be appearing in an ad campaign for the retailer (nor is he apparently endorsing the line), the Guardian reports that the actor has been spotted shopping for underwear at the store....Imagine, these guys see you buying underwear at their store and suddenly they think 'Underwear line, Brande, Robert Pattison' When They're in stock and ready, I'll be first to call em Pattie Undies...I wonder if they'll be the next hot thing in Men's Underwear stores. I'll be sure to check.
Well we'll have to wait until September, when the new range goes on sale, to see.



ps i love it wen he does that to his hair...totally out of point, i just had to say it

BullFight Ban In Spain


The parliament of Catalonia has voted to ban bullfighting. Which now makes it the first region of mainland Spain to ban bullfighting.180,000 people have signed a petition arguing that the practice is barbaric and outdated. But Bullfight supporters insist that the corrida (that's what its called), is a long time tradition and they're being unfair by banning it and some have even said it is an attempt by Catalans to mark their difference from the rest of Spain by rejecting one of its best and oldest known traditions.

I ABSOLUTELY HATE today's obsession with banning things, ban this, ban that, who's in favor...ban this that, Infact.. The only ban I would support is a ban on people who want to ban things. ..But For gods sake this is absurd, Tradition or not. Not all traditions must stand for eternity you know. So although i think its up to the Spaniards to decide, not all traditions must be continued , if they're harmful to he society in some way then why go on with it?


And I personally do not understand why people enjoy watching animals being baited and killed, its Barbaric, but then I don't even watch wrestling...I've seen a couple of Bull fights, not live luckily, but i prefer the version where the Bull doesn't die.Ban the fighting. Stop killing the bulls in this way. If you have to eat their meat, do it in such a way that they feel no pain or anguish.

And though most people have said its up to the Spaniards to decide..I'm not really sure on this one; perhaps we should ask the bulls for their opinion.
Also  while they're at it...
ban the burka.
Ban the Scots from playing the bagpipes.
Ban gangsta rap.
In the end it might not be our choice or decision but these animals deserve a right to die peacefully donchu think? how wud u feel if you knew your death was gonna be so violent, so barbaric,tradition or not , I'm just against it. But can we really come  in between tradition?
