Much has been said about Alice Cullen’s fashion style. I personally dig it and Ashley Greene wouldn’t have been anymore perfect for than she already is. Alice Cullen’s pixie style haircut is an ongoing trend and I am pretty sure in a week or so, Alice Cullen’s fashion style in New Moon the movie will have styles and outfits out.

Here are some of the pictures I found through the web (while trying to look for Syracuse catering for a friend’s party this weekend):

Now that Twilight fever has snuck right back in because of New Moon the movie, how much am I willing to bet that crazy Twi-hard fans would avail of payday loans just to get this Bella Swan Green Birthday Dress?

It is a replica of Bella’s green taffeta dress that’s accented with black flocked roses, a black velveteen waistband and black lace trim. Back zipper closure. (Plus sizes are available at Torrid.com). Retailing at $98.00, this one would be a sure collectible for Twi-fans. I personally would want to wear it too – if I can get a real Edward Cullen on my arm.

Notice her sneaks – Bella Swan’s fashion style is making a trend!

I like this dress, and it can work with just about anything — Converse, Doc Martins, Mary Janes and a denim jacket.

It comes with a patch inside that says, "As worn by Bella Swan." Flocked roses, velvet trim at the waist and lace trim around the neck make this a perfect copy.

One of the things that excite me the most is planning weddings. I had such a blast planning mine five years ago, and I even thought of switching jobs to event planning because I loved it so much. I had my own dream wedding come true so I would like to help other women have theirs too.

One of the things that I took pains to make sure was right was choosing the wedding dresses. Would you believe I pored over at least 10 catalogs to find what I like and ordered my bridal gown one month before the wedding?

I spent so many hours taking in all the bridal gowns of Mori Lee. Madeline Gardner is a fashion designer from New Jersey. She already has 17 years of experience designing wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses and her collections are simply elegant.

Here 2010 bridal collection is no exception! Look at the choice wedding gowns featured at her site:

I love these two gowns the most because it bespeaks of my personal style – simple with minimal embellishments yet timeless, classic and elegant. I am partial to the second wedding dress -  it is a bridal gown with a simple hemline and smashing back with delicate beading on chiffon.

Look at all the details on the chest area. This is simple yet stunning!

The first wedding gown I liked because of the aysmmetrical skirt and design which is a great eye catcher. It might be a little bulky for me though but I love the design nonetheless. Look at it at closer view:

While most women obsess about bags, jewelries and clothes, I obsess in one thing alone: shoes. Of course, I obsess as much as my size 11 feet will allow me to. Having big (and wide) feet clearly has some disadvantages. While I long to slip my feet into gladiator sandals and sexy stilletos, I am stuck to closed shoes, mary janes and sandals. (It doesn’t help that I’m freakishly tall as well!).

So autumn has come and winter isn’t far behind – what are the latest trends in womens shoes you ask? Aside from sexy high heels (closed with stockings since it is cold right now), which I think never go out of style, here are the latest shoe trends:

• Over the Knee Boots and Thigh High Boots – these boots automatically make any woman tall and sexy. Although it doesn’t fit women of all height and sizes, certain styles can be perfect for each woman!

• Ankle High Booties – for women who needs to elongate their legs

• Oxfords – this classic would look great in jeans, skirts

• Modern Mary Janes – a clear favorite, this has clearly evolved.

• Pointed Toe Flats

I never was one to go for “pretty” boys and Johnny Depp is considered “pretty” on my book with those mesmerizing eyes and ladylike lips. But he is the sexiest man in the world so I will shut up for now. He, together with George Clooney and Brad Pitt, are the only one who won the award twice.

I would still prefer last year’s sexiest man in the world.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" star Johnny Depp is the sexiest man on the planet, according to People magazine Wednesday.

Depp, 46, headed a list of 15, catching People’s attention not so much for his swashbuckling antics in the "Pirates" franchise, or his freakish charm in "Edward Scissorhands," but his softer side as a family man.

The "star has had women swooning since his days as a teen detective on 21 Jump Street. Yet it’s his devotion to his family that really makes the actor so endearing," People gushed.

Depp’s companion is French singer Vanessa Paradis and he is the father of Lily-Rose, 10, and Jack, seven.

The slightly built actor who often sports a whispy goatee beard and floppy hair beat out 33-year-old actor Ryan Reynolds, costar in "The Proposal," and Jake Gyllenhaal of "Brokeback Mountain."

Depp also won the magazine’s "Sexiest" honor in 2003, making him, George Clooney and Brad Pitt the only three male stars to win the title twice.

Timepieces (or in common terms, watches) are classic gifts that can last a lifetime. Since it is often worn, the giver of the piece is often remembered as well. I like giving watches to people I love – to date, I have only given them to the men if my life – my father, my husband and my son.

It is fortunate that these days watches come in all sorts of form and sizes! It has become not only a functional necessity but a prized accessory. I also love how prices range from the extremely cheap to expensive. Timex watches are a favorite!

Look at variety you can get!
 

Timex watches are for both men and women so you can consider getting his and hers watches for you and your special someone. Plus, they have sports watches too!

If you dearly beloved boys and men who will always be boys in your Christmas gift list, try giving them video games. Anybody would love a gaming console!

I looked the top 5 gaming consoles of the year and it turned out to be:

1. The playstation portable otherwise known as the PSP:

The console itself and available add-ons, mean that it can have; a camera, digital TV receiver, web browser and GPS, as well as playing games with better graphics than any other comparable handheld device.

2. The xbox 360 consoles

It is important to remember that the Xbox 360 is the oldest of the three main seventh generation gaming systems. As well as being launched earlier than the PS3, the Xbox 360 is also considerably cheaper.

3. Nintendo DS Lite

4. The playstation consoles, the latest being Playstation 3 (PS3)

If you look at the potential of the Playstation 3 it has a clear edge on its competitors, with; both Blu-ray and HD DVD compatibility, up to 80GB of memory and PSP link-up

5. A clear favorite among the nintendo consoles, Nintendo Wii

For an actress who cannot act (sorry I have to be honest), this girl clearly doesn’t need any acne treatment for her skin. Her acting sucked big time at the New Moon movie but her beauty is clearly a stand-out at every scene. I just wish she makes an effort to show emotions as Bella – two hot and gorgeous men clearly love Bella Swan so much – she needs to show some character!

When I was a small girl, I fell in love with the fashion of the times of Elise McKenna in the movie Somewhere in Time. There grew my love relationship with the fashion and everything that came during the early 1900s. I grew to appreciate all things vintage. I even swore to myself that I will wear a gown similar to hers when I get married someday.

My love affair with  vintage jewelry started with earrings. Somehow I love to wear earrings but cannot tolerate any other jewelry on my skin like necklaces, bracelets and rings. I love understated vintage stuff, jewelry that are classic pieces.

These are Vintage Style 14k Gold Filigrane Earrings that I saw over Vintage Yard. I like how dainty and intricate the design of the earrings are – I am sure that when one wears them, people will be drawn to them like a moth to a flame.

Except for my wedding ring, I have not worn any ring on my finger ever. But the vintage rings I am seeing are tempting me to change my mind! I am very partial to amethyst because it is my birthstone and I can see myself wearing any of these two vintage rings with the way I dress:

What could be better than having my favorite stone together with every woman’s best friend – the diamond? I wish I can afford the price though – these cost between USD800-USD970 a piece. I would not mind buying it as it can be a heirloom for the family.

The 19th Century Styled 14K Gold Ring with 28 Diamonds and Amethyst is a 19th century styled 14K gold ring with 28 rose cut diamonds, and one 0.15 Ct Amethyst mounted on a hand made silver plate.

Wouldn’t that be a great heirloom piece to pass on to your daughter or daughter-in-law?

Yummie Tummie tops look like regular tops – tanks, t-shirts, camisoles – but they all have an invisible body shaper in the mid section. Their ad promises "no more muffin tops" or excess skin overflowing on to your jeans or bra.

It comes in many styles and colours.
