Muppets the Movie is coming out! Muppets has their own resident fashionista in the form of Miss Piggy! Who doesn’t love her to bits? I bet even the people from a debt collection agency can’t resist her charms and wit. In fact, a MAC line and an OPI Nail Color Collection have been born using her as an inspiration.

Speaking of wit, here are some tidbits of fashion advice from the Miss Piggy herself:

* “Never purchase beauty products in a hardware store.” — As featured in Neverisms: A Quotation Lover’s Guide to Things You Should Never Do, Never
* “It’s a good idea to apply an all-over facial pack once or twice a month, but I never, never use mud. (Frankly, it brings up unpleasant memories.)” — Miss Piggy’s Guide to Life
* “Beauty is a blessing and a burden. One must celebrate the blessing of being beautiful, and yet bear the burden of attracting freaks who want to sunbathe in the reflected gorgeousity of moi’s porcine pulchritude. But, then again, who can blame them?” — As told to Pop Magazine.
* [On men:] “Ask yourself if he’s such a hunk that he’s worth it. If so, get more mirrors. If not, dump him . . . but get more mirrors anyway. After all, narcissism isn’t a bad thing if it’s about vous.” — The Diva Code: Miss Piggy on Life, Love, and the 10,000 Idiotic Things Men Frogs Do
* “Especially for the Christmas season I use a champagne shampoo, followed by an eggnog rinse. It gives my hair extra body. And if I take a bath in the stuff, it gives my body extra body, too.” — As quoted in McCall’s December 1980 issue

I see that anything vintage is making a comeback, that includes rustic furniture and the 40’s glam look. Fashion week featured a lot of 40s fashion inspiration in the runway. Feminine, dainty on the side while androgynous in the other – you get the best of both worlds!

There are of course more than a few ways to wear it, from the easy androgynous takes in double-breasted blazers and wide-leg pants to the ultra-feminine iterations in pretty pleats and printed dresses, all with nipped waists. To perfect that ’40s-era drama, just keep these tips in mind:

* Look for feminine detailing like pleats, cinched waists, and peplum to perfect the decade’s ladylike tilt.
* Look for key fabrics like tweed and printed silks to lend the vintage stylized quality you’re after on skirts, dresses, and trousers.
* If you’re too shy to go for a full-bodied look, opt for vintage-inspired prints like polka dots to channel the trend with ease — and without high risk.

Katie Holmes is so pretty here – and the whole Ann Taylor look is just “so her”. Don’t you agree? I love her make-up here as well. Her “leave-it-at-the-way-it-is” hair just makes it more natural for her. A friend of mine loves Katie Holmes – she is very open in admitting to everybody how the actress is her idol when it comes to fashion. Most of what she wears are from pegs of Katie’s outfits from paparazzi shots, the red carpet and magazine spreads.

Girl’s Clothing has never been the same with the influx of retailers offering a variety of choices, catering to women, ladies, girls and teenagers from all walks of life, in all shapes and sizes.

When it comes to fashion these days, I can safely say that there is not better time to be a girl than today! You can express yourself freely with your choice of clothes. You can buy clothes at a cheaper or more affordable price without sacrificing quality, comfort and design! Creativity in fashion has never been as full-blown and top of the notch now more than before.

I personally am excited for what fashion can still give and become a few years from now!

I have seen this trend a couple of months ago and I think it hit mainstream (or become more popular, I don’t know) when Pippa Middleton (Kate Middleton’s, Duchess of Cambridge, younger sister) stepped out on a Zara colorblock dress (which was absolutely stunning). I do not know how it will work with big women like me without us needing human growth hormone and still look great wearing it but here are some ideas.

1. JCPenney Colorblock dress (swap out the belt that comes included), $39.99

2. Urban Outfitters Colorblock Skirt, $44

3. Bebe Colorblock Shoulder Bag, $89

4. Forever 21 Colorblock Top, $15.80

6. Urban Outfitters Colorblock Tank, $44

Look who is wearing the hottest summer trend: whites:

Uma Thurman and Gisele Bundchen:

White takes precendence over every color this summer, and not only are we wearing it, we’re wearing it all over! Chic and easy pieces in soft, billowy silhouettes are what makes the white-hot trend one of the freshest takes on minimalism. Forget adding a pop of color, play with textures instead. Mix a white lace blouse with a white chiffon maxi skirt, or opt for an oversized white button up mixed with a billowy white skirt. Don’t forget to add a pair of white wedges and a few girly extras, like a bow headband or wide brim fedora.

Whether you will be needing fishing clothing of clothes for a barbecue party, these dresses would be a good choice:

Rebecca Minkoff Cat Dress

Milly-Knit-Bahia-Jacquard-Dress

BCBGeneration Flutter Sleeve Dress

I am so glad a friend recommended her blog – she posts her everyday outfits with thrift finds that it is so inspiring to get outfits together from a normal woman’s closet. Mind you, she repeats most key pieces too! I almost forget to read about the sensa reviews I needed to do because I got so engrossed in reading all her posts. So much eye candy and inspiration!

I really need to lose weight if I want to be able to dress like Quinn from Glee before I turn old and grey . I have been reading about fenphedrine reviews, thinking if I can somehow use it to help me lose weight. I have always looked forward to the Possessionista’s Glee outfit recaps on her blog. She knows how to do some mean research!

I often wonder how Hollywood celebrities can look so glamorous all the time. For sure, due to lack of sleep and the tons of make-up they need to wear, they have breakouts every now and then. Do they use epiduo? Look at the stars rocking the red carpet at the Grammys:

J.Lo:
Jennifer Lopez showed off her stems upon arrival, going super-short in a metallic silver, sequined Pucci mini sheath. She doesn’t skimp on accessories either, opting for bold, silver-spiked heels, a mirrored clutch, and ultra-glam hair and makeup.

Heidi Klum:
The gorgeous Heidi Klum is glowing on the carpet tonight, opting for a gold, shoulder-baring Julien Macdonald gown. It’s a bit of a ’70s style moment, complete with a pair of multicolored snakeskin platforms; but natural makeup, gold studs, and simple swept-back hair keep things from going over the top.

Glee Cast:
All the Glee girls got glam for the Grammy Awards tonight. Jenna Ushkowitz opted for feminine tulle, Lea Michele went the sexy route in black, Amber Riley showed off her funky flair in a strapless print number, Dianna Agron worked a Vivienne Westwood LBD, and Naya Rivera played with a sassy high-low hemline.

For FabSugar, these were the Fab 5 that rocked the Red Carpet:

Julianne Hough and Kelly Osbourne, in Tadashi Shoji, lent major brightness and romance to the mix. Jennifer Lopez and Selena Gomez were responsible for the shine factor, and Jennifer Hudson proved that the words sexy and fashionable can indeed be synonymous.

There were two outfits I absolutely loved in this episode and both were dresses – from Quinn and Emma. It’s a good thing Possessionista can get ahold of where you can get the outfits because I might need wrinkle creams from http://www.topwrinklecreams.com due to endless searching and stressing!

Quinn’s dress is an aqua blue green and white dress with orange red piped trim from Scrapbook Originals
($72.00 + shipping)

Emma wore a Kate Spade Floral Josie Dress – $445

The television show America’s Next Top Supermodel has definitely brought to life the model’s life. More girls now are even more inspired to aspire to be a model and it shows in how they dress, how they move, and how they pose. It is not surprising that a lot of girls might now want their own runway at home, pretty much how runways have always been incorporated in top model houses in the TV show. Creating your own runway is not that difficult. All you need is epoxy flooring and you are good to sashay down your runway.

Simply choose an area where you want your runway. An epoxy floor is strong, durable, and resistant to stains, making it good for a runway that is constantly walked on. You could practice your catwalk as often as you like and your floor will not get worn or cracked. Aside from this, epoxy floors are slip resistant, making them perfect for high heels so that you will surely not have any accidents while on the runway.

Of course, the glassy and lustrous finish of epoxy floor coatings will also make your runway look classy and elegant. So if you are aiming to be the next top supermodel, then you should have your own runway at home.
