Miley Cyrus: I'm more sociable since I quit Twitter

2010-03-25T12:51:00.000-07:00

The “Hannah Montana” sweetie, Miley Cyrus was fond of twitter a year ago. Last October she quitted. Previously on her twitter, she was telling everyone what she is doing in which she became tired of that’s why she quitted and she was happy she’d done that. She’s a star, she’s still young at 17 and she needs to enjoy herself, she is also entitled to her freedom. She wants to live life to the full, and needs to do that.

On interview she mentioned, “I was kind of tired telling everyone what I’m doing, I’m a lot less on my phone. I’m a little bit more social. I have real friends as opposed to friends on the internet that I’m talking to which is not cool, not safe, not fun-and most likely not real.”

She’s absolutely right, for teenagers like her, she must enjoy a life like any ordinary teenagers does. By that she encourages teens and her fans to follow her lead.
“I hang out with my friends and they’re so busy taking pictures of what they’re doing to post on Face book and not really enjoying what they’re doing. I think I just enjoy the moment you’re in. Stop telling people about it. Enjoy it for yourself. I’m telling kids “don’t go internet”. It’s dangerous, it’s not fun, and it wastes your life. And you should be outside playing sports or something”

Guess Miley is using her being a star personality to encourage people to follow her good advice. With that Mile, you are a good character model.

Kim said on in interview “ We did the blond shoot last year right before I went back to my darker look and decided I wanted to capture the blond look, so what better way to do that than to create a calendar!?” Wow! Nice idea, well she did made a calendar. Guess Kim preferred the darker one that’s why she went back into it.

Judge the photos of Kim, which do you prefer, let’s help Kim decide. Why don’t you try the curl one Kim? Guess you look will better with that, a new hair.

Jessica Simpson Offers Up Relationship Advice

2010-03-02T12:57:00.000-08:00

“You can’t love someone else to change them. Happiness comes from accepting who they are. It is our decision to really know who we love. My next husband will be an artistic man. It will show you the colors of my character, the person that I fall in love with next I don’t even have a type! I don’t have a physical type. I have an emotional type.” That’s a Jessica Simpson spirit. She’s a woman with so much love to share, a woman who does not get tired to offer love.

Yes we agree that she’s not the luckiest woman when it comes to choosing a man of her life but of course that doesn’t stop her to look for his Mr. Right. Logic behind you can’t find someone if your got going to look for that someone.

Let’s just hope for the best of her.

Lady Gaga is not arrogant it’s just a reality that she’s now a superstar. A lady who already know by the whole world. Who wouldn’t know her?

She succeeded with her own unique way, she does not imitate anyone. She does what she likes, and she wears what she likes. She even dance the way she wanted that no one has ever does.
This girl is a surprise. You’ll never know what she wears, and does next. She succeeded on her self alone, maybe with the help of her ex-boyfriend, but on the other way around. She was superbly encourage by the things his ex-boyfriend told her. She wanted to prove him wrong badly, and that’s what she actually did.

This girl is so delusionally ambitious, as she had mentioned herself. That’s the power of ambitions or dreams, for her, her ambitions makes her now a superstar.

A True Fashion Victim: Solange Knowles

2008-08-27T03:02:00.000-07:00

I know there are lots of people out there who really hates Beyonce's little sister, Solange Knowles. And I am pretty sure that they'll keep on hating her because of this outfit. Man, who would have thought that there were a combinations of colours like these? And the most disturbing to me are those pink tights. Honestly, my eyes hurt because of the bold colours as well as the style of her outfit! this outfit wouldn't look good in the dark or in any time of the day! Ugh..

That's no exaggeration. Nobody could seriously put together this mis match of colors and fabrics and textures. It's got a little bit of everything tacky and does nothing to compliment Solange's emaciated frame..

Now, what can you say about it?

Lately I've been surfing the net and I stumbled in a site that offers Air Jordan shoes. I was shock because they almost have all the Air Jordan shoes in their site. At last my dream to buy a pair of Air Jordan shoes came true, but for the mean time I'll save some of my money to be able to buy the shoes.

2008-06-25T07:50:00.000-07:00

Camilla Alves a Brazilian model has created with her mom Multo Abrigado a handbag line called MUXO. This handbag is unique and one of a kind because it is handmade. Camila says that the handbag is also influenced by the two places she spent most of her time, “Brazil and New York.”

The model admits that she created the line, “because I travel a lot, I found that there weren’t any handbags available that were strong and sexy enough at the same time…Everything was either too small (really cute but impractical) or too big (way too practical but not at all fashionable). So I wanted to create a handbag that fit my lifestyle… (and my laptop and princess cut diamonds at the same time)

MUXO can best be described as Bohemian chic, which works best for the L.A. hipsters.

Posh is fond of designing her denim line so much that she'd decided to continue with evening wear.. And now, she'll be unveiling Her First Fancy Dress Collection at New York Fashion Week and it'll be called Posh Frocks! The name was a bit odd, but knowing that it'll be Victoria Beckham who'll gonna design your outfit, Man, you'll going to think that this is something fashionable and stylish!

She says, "It will be something completely different from what I've ever done. I'm just putting it together at the moment, but they will be very upscale dresses and likely will start at around $1,200 retail. I'm going to be using very expensive fabrics and finishes, lots of embroideries."

She hopes to branch out into shoes and bags, but can't do those now because she's a "control freak" and doesn't want to expand too fast. She also refuses to do sportswear because she only likes to do things that are "true" to herself, that she would wear herself. "Sports and me don't really go hand-in-hand — other than with my husband," she added.

The design of Vicky was taken inspiration from Marc Jacobs and Roberto Cavalli, and is already in talks with major department stores to sell them.

“Miss Bundchen recently told press that as a result of her meteoric rise to fame, people are always trying to discredit her beauty by claiming it’s all artificial. Then again, when you’re earning the industry’s top salary ($33 million a year) you have to expect some drama.

She told press, “The other day, a girl on my plane was pulling my hair. She was like, ‘I just want to check...’ [And I told her] ‘This is all my hair, by the way. I did not have extensions’”.

Jessica Simpson To Design Country Clothes

2008-06-20T11:33:00.000-07:00

Singer Jessica Simpson is thinking about to launch her own line of lingerie in spring 2009. She's done so well with the shoes, sunglasses, and bathing suits, and she figured, why not?

The lingerie collection will include underwear, daywear and sleepwear.

It’s all apart of dad Joe Simpson’s plan to help Jessica sail to the top of the country charts. Joe thinks a new “designer denim and western wear” clothing line will help Jess cash in on her new country image and fan base.

“Joe realized it’d be a natural for Jessica to design a line that included everything from tight-fitting jeans to cowboy hats,” a Star Magazine insider says. “She’s really a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl anyway…If things go well, Jessica should have her name on people’s butts by the Summer of 2009.”
Jessica, whose first country single “Come On Over” made an impressive Billboard debut, unofficially retired from pop music last week.

2008-06-09T11:06:00.000-07:00

Dooney & Bourke Wins Ruling In Bag Battle With Louis Vuitton

Dooney & Bourke Wins Ruling In Bag Battle With Louis Vuitton
Wednesday, June 04, 2008
By Evan Clark
A Manhattan federal judge has ruled in favor of Dooney & Bourke in a four-year trademark battle with Louis Vuitton.

U.S. District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin said Dooney & Bourke's "It Bag" monogram design did not infringe on Vuitton's Monograme Multicolore handbag collection.

Personally, I don't think that the Dooney & Bourke "It" bags looks anything like Louis Vuitton Multicolors, especially considering the fact that the Dooney version comes in so many background colors compared to LV which only has black and white. I won't say though that Dooney may not have been inspired by Louis Vuitton so i guess, there is nothing illegal about that.

Fashion Style: Fashion Shoes

2008-06-05T11:25:00.000-07:00

This season designers' imagination has no limits. Modellers decorated their shoes and open-toe sandals in such a way that they became independent piece of attire. Fashionable footwear is very elaborate.

Today nobody is amazed to see high heels or platforms. But you can shock your boyfriend wearing sandals with such strange shape of heels. For example, you can put on Alberta Ferretti to a picnic, Missoni – to work, Emilio Pucci you can dance the whole night in night club.

Christian Lacroix, Jil Sander and Yves Saint Laurent decorate heel in such a strange way! Celebrities have already made their choice. For example Victoria Beckham and Nicky Hilton were seen wearing that kind of shoes.

Miu Miu and Prada will match any kind of your attire.

Chloe and Stella McCartney are really gorgeous footwear. Without comments

Dsquared and Nina Ricci with strange heels. But the strangest shoes created Marc Jacobs. Just the most fashionable women can have the courage to go outsite wearing such sandals.
