Who Heated Up the Red Carpet for the 2009 Oscars?

anne-hathaway-2009-oscars1 It is a guilty pleasure of mine to watch the Oscars. I love to check out all of the latest looks put together by celebrities and then rate them.  This year the celebrity that stood out the most to me was Ann Hathaway. I loved the dress she was wearing and I thought that she really glowed in it. The dress was a breath taking Armani gown and fit her body perfectly.

My second favorite look was Natalie Portman. She chose a radiant pink chiffon strapless gown that really stood out. Bright colors can be risky if you do not choose wisely but Natalie chose a color that was very complimenting to her skin tone and make up.

My third pick for who heated up the red carpet was Alicia Keys. She also chose a lilac Armani gown and was not afraid of wearing a brighter color. I loved the cut of this gown and thought it looked amazing on her.

Are you ready for Spring 2009?

skinnyjpeg1 OK, I know what you are thinking we are still in winter, how can Spring 2009 be so close. As I look out my window it is snowing, as crazy as that sounds, we still have to prepare for spring. What can we expect for spring fashion? Well I have been doing some research and I have got the scoop on what to expect. For clothing preparation check out the list below:

1. The Skinny jean is still in.

2. Lightweight and sheer fabrics are a must.

3. Metallic’s are still around but they are a little more subtle this spring.

4. If you love ruffles you are going to love the new detail of the season, you guessed it ruffles.

5. Remember the romper - a single full piece outfit - it is updated to shine this spring in a sexy new light.


Now if you are wondering about colors this Spring check out the list below:

1. Cream, white and champagne are hotter then ever.

2. Sherbet pastels like lemon yellow and powder blue are a must have.

3. Neutrals never seem to vanish and they will be a hit this Spring.

4. Grey always seems to sneak in but we are talking all different shades.

Hope this preps you for the Spring to come :P

The Power Suit is Back

men_s_wool_suits2 I woke up this morning with the alarm clock (the radio) blaring. The first thing I heard was “The Power Suit is back”. Now I think everyone who has been around the block knows what a power suit is. If you don’t know what power suit is I will describe it for you and even post a picture of one if you are lucky.

A power suit is a suit that has a punch to it. It is a suit that when you put it on you feel like a million dollars. Usually a power suit is a darker color suit with a bright colored under shirt. The undershirt makes you stand out to other people whether you are on the job or on the job hunt.

For people that are on the job, it is so they feel like they are noticed and hope that results into a slimmer chance of getting laid off. In this economy if you are lucky enough to have employment then people will pretty much do anything they can to hold on to the job.

For the people on the job-hunt it is a way to set yourself apart from other candidates. A good suit can do wonders for your outer appearance and also your inner confidence. If you do not have a power suit you should get one! What do you have to loose?
