America's Next Top Fashion

America's Next Top Fashion no more...

2008-10-23T14:28:00.008-05:00

Hello all! I have been totally neglecting my blog mostly because I am busy, but also because I log into this blog through one of my older e-mails which makes it difficult since I now have a Google account.

SO, I am switching blogs and changing my focus slightly. Everything may not be about fashion, or it could be. I am just going to post about whatever fits my fancy. Then maybe I will post more!

Please change your blog rolls if you have my old address! Thanks! I look forward to posting:).

Posh goes heel-less

2008-09-29T10:46:00.002-05:00

Your thoughts? I think they look hot - for maybe 5 seconds. I can't imagine walking on those without a heel for stability, or paying 3,300 pounds for them.

Hilary, why did you cut your hair and make it blond? If you were going to cut it, at least make it cute and dark like your winning Oscars look.
Maybe you cut it off for wigs for women who are battling cancer (very sweet), or maybe you cut it for a new role in an upcoming film (understandable), but please take a look at you in all of your long-haired glory below and rethink your decision!

Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style. {John Fairchild}

I've been a bad girl...

2008-07-01T09:05:00.010-05:00

I have really slacked on the posting lately.

I am blaming it on this:

The 13 weddings I have been invited to in the year 2008. Nine have already happened.

The alcohol I have consumed at these weddings. If you need a wedding photographer, check out Darbi G.!

The three funerals/visitations I have attended in the last month.

The alcohol I have consumed as a result of this. I have found that I do not enjoy dirty martinis.

Plus, I have renewed my love of fitness and have been working out for at least 60 minutes a day, 5 days a week. For a while, the photo below said it all, but I am changing that:).

Luckily, one of the weddings we attended last weekend was in Jacksonville, Illinois, and the boy and I went on a fabulous 3-hour historic home walking tour and saw incredible houses like these. It was the best vacation weekend I have had in a long time.

I wore these shoes the entire walk, and they most definitely make your calves, hamstrings and glutes work harder than normal. You should try them out! You can buy them from Bath & Body Works or Victoria's Secret. They are super comfortable, but my legs are still a little sore from all the walking! The FitFlops are even kinda cute!

Trend: Hot or Not?

2008-06-10T08:41:00.005-05:00

So, I got this in an e-mail from DailyCandy today. What do you think of these zipper leggings?

You can buy them for $99 here, or by clicking on the photo above.

I LOVE those sandals and would rather buy those than the leggings, but sadly, there was not a link to them. The leggings are too '80s for me, much like Kim Cattrall's fashion on the SATC movie. Big shoulder pads give me the heebie jeebies.

Ashton looks like a lumber jack, and not in a rustic, oh-i-want-to-ravage-you-in-the-woods way...

I have never understood this match-up.

Gossip-y Girl

2008-05-21T14:21:00.007-05:00

Well, what did you all think of the finale for Gossip Girl? I liked the episode before it better. I thought the finale was a bit anticlimatic... BUT I still loved it!

As for the dresses, I thought that the bride was beautiful...

S looked a bit insane in her Ralph Lauren multi-tiered yellow chiffon dress and gloves. I liked it at first, but the more I watched her in it, the more I didn't like it.

B was beautiful and flowery in her Collette Dinnigan dress. What do you think of Vanessa?

Georgina looked scary, much like her personality. I kinda hate her.

B also looked fabulous before boarding a plane with someone other than Chuck Bass - this mystery boy was most definitely a hottie.

Chuck's dad's fatherly speech did the opposite - Chuck fled and proceeded to focus on some other chick (Lydia Hearst- check out her rocking Sigerson Morrison gladiators!) so he could continue to be a bad a$$ (and an a$$hole). His little wedding toast was just too good to be true.

So, S & Nate are headed to the Hamptons, and Dan & Vanessa have all kinds sexual tension again... To me, that's a bit too predictable for it to stay that way, and I don't really like it. What do you think?

OMFG - Gossip Girl

2008-05-15T13:12:00.004-05:00

After finally getting to watch Gossip Girl after missing a couple of episodes, I was so happy to have the chance to watch it this week. It did not disappoint. The episode rocked, and Blake Lively and Leighton Meester's outfits below rock, too. I especially love Blake Lively's gold Dolce & Gabbana number. I love the show. I love the clothes. I am so excited for the season finale next week!

On another note, what did you think of their OMFG racy ad campaign?

Was it a bit too much or just perfect? They say their target audience is 18-34 year olds, but I know that high schoolers are watching it, too...

OMFG.

Cameron Diaz looking cute like always (I got this great photo from Jen at MahaloFashion.com)

I love the black dress, but Kim's dress makes her look large, SJP's hair thing is ridiculous, and Charlotte's red dress just isn't that spectacular.

Diane Kruger looking particularly wonderful.

Katherine McPhee in Jay Godfrey (cute shoes!)

Sharon Stone still turning heads. I can't decide if I like that necklace...

Sienna Miller taking advantage of a beautiful day in London with bf Rhys Ifans (whom I don't think is very cute).

Product Review: Sebastian Iron Works

2008-04-30T12:30:00.006-05:00

I have talked about my attraction to hair products before, but I have found an even better alternative to use to protect your tresses when using the flat iron for smooth, sultry locks. Introducing my latest obsession: Sebastian Shapers IronWorks Hot Tools Protecting Spray.

Pros: Protects your hair, unscented, smaller size, keeps hair healthy, discontinued (can buy it at CHEAP prices online)

Cons: Discontinued (could become hard to find), no pretty scent

GG Grade: A

Buy online for $2.50/bottle!: http://www.salonsavings.com/detail/900160/
