PRINTED JEANS ARE BACK!  Hollywood Costume Designer and Stylist extraordinaire  CB has the inside scoop on this 80′s trend that is making a comeback this Spring.

Read the latest from CB on the trend  that is making a comeback- 

Are you looking for a travel cup that is the perfect size, design, good for the planet and durable…Then you have to get a Keepcup. Keepcup is the first ever barista standard reusable cup and the number one choice for sustainable and stylish coffee consumption.  Already making waves in Australia and the UK, KeepCup is ready to change the way US consumers drink their coffee on-the-go.

BPA-free, lightweight, recyclable, and fashionable – KeepCup is available in 25,000 color combinations, so you can design the cup that tells your story and, unlike other leading reusable cups on the market, is designed by a barista to fit under the heads of most espresso machines like the Black and Decker Brew ‘N Go.  Keepcups are available in four sizes – extra small (4oz.), small (8oz.), medium (12oz.) and large (16oz.)  KeepCup proves that convenience, eco-consciousness and style can go hand-in-hand.

Most importantly, it’s non-toxic, food safe, microwave and dishwasher safe, it’s splash proof design is made with a lift and twist plug to open a breather and drinking hole at the top.  Coffee and tea kept in the thermal KeepCup also stays hotter longer than in a disposable cup by at least 20 minutes!

Get one to match your every mood.  Mix and match them to complete your personal look!

• Get the look: Julianna Marguiles at the 2012 Golden Globes
• Get Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Red Carpet Look From CoverGirl

If you are an “average” American woman, then you are not a size 2, 4, 6  or even an 8!  You are most likely a 12 or larger.  A quick glimpse of any magazine or even the red carpet at one of the most popular yearly awards shows wouldn’t suggest it, but it’s true.

So when it comes to dressing our larger than ‘skin and bones’ silhouette’s remember to choose wisely ladies- especially for a bigger than life event.

Octavia Spencer did just that!  A gorgeous pale lilac gown was her choice for the 2012 Golden Globes and boy did she wear it with style.  She owned her look and was simply stunning.  Beautiful defined eyes with a touch of color as well.  Light lilac mixed with a deeper plum and lots of mascara.  Just a hint of gloss to finish her look was the perfect  touch.  Her hair was done in a classic French twist that gave her that polished look.

Octavia dressed her curves in style and really worked that red carpet.

Melissa McCarthy on the other hand did not do her size or figure justice in my opinion.  I think this dress was the perfect example of a dress that wore the woman rather than the woman wearing the dress.    The style wasn’t very flattering, and the color wasn’t moving me either.

And although her makeup didn’t bother me, it didn’t ‘wow’ me either.  But her hair really was a miss!  It was a bit over-powering and just didn’t frame her face well.  She should have chosen a much softer look.  Perhaps leaving her hair down with lots of curls, or if she was set on putting it up, a softer look with a sweep of bangs to one side with soft falling tendrils might have been more appealing.  Her look was a bit too severe and just didn’t hit it out of the ballpark, as a matter of fact, it didn’t even make it past the infield.

No matter what your size girls, own your look!  As style Guru Tim Gunn says   “Forget your Flaws and Dress Your Positives”.  Choose your makeup and hairstyle to compliment and finish your look with a bang!  As as always….

Stay Gorgeous Girls~

It was a gloomy day in LA, but not inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel where  Michelle Williams not only took home a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe, but she took home the prize for “stunning”!  She dazzled the red carpet, looking gorgeous as ever.

The Oscars had nothing on these ladies.  Typically the Golden Globes are a little more dressed down than the Oscars.  The evening includes dinner, and while the stars dine as they mingle before the awards, it has a more relaxed atmosphere than that of the formal Oscars.

But when a girl is invited to a party, she always accepts the opportunity to dazzle in style.  Chignon’s and sleek hairstyles were the big hit of the night.  My favorites by Debra Messing, Kate Beckinsale and Kate Winslet.  Old Hollywood would have been proud of these ladies, as they looked sleek and stylish.

But the biggest hit of the night I believe went to the actresses over 35.  They all looked amazing.  Soft and blended makeup, simple and elegant hairstyles and gorgeous dresses.

Here were my favorites:

Debra Messing rocked those deep smoky eyes.  She gave a new definition to the “little black dress”.  Picture perfect gown, gorgeous makeup and the perfect jewelry to bring it all together.

Kate’s hair and makeup were stunning!  Light and neutral eyes and neutral lips didn’t overpower her gown, but accented her look.

Jodie Fosters hair and makeup was polished and completely complimented her chiseled features.  Sophisticated, and understated.  Simply elegant!

Julianne’s peaches and cream skin was the perfect canvas for her deep smoky eyes.  I loved that she didn’t try to overdo the look with strong lips, but went with neutral lips and just a hint of cheeks to finish off her look.  Absolutely stunning.

Viola Davis shined in this gorgeous burgundy gown.  Her makeup was beautiful.  Defined eyes with luscious lashes, and beautiful glossy lips just finished her look with style.

My favorite look of the evening went to Kate Beckinsale.  Her champagne gown with elegant beading was classic Hollywood.  A beautiful pulled back “do” was the extra added touch, and allowed her gorgeous drop earrings to finish her look.  Simple makeup didn’t compete with her classic look, but added to its elegance.  A 5-star winner in my book.

Now girls, don’t be too fooled by the beauty of these glam girls.  They all had a ‘team’ of stylists getting them ready.  That included a Hairstylist, a Makeup Artist and a Stylist who not only shopped for their gown, but most likely was there to make sure that it was hit before she walked out the door.  Yes, we too could look that spectacular if we had a ‘team’ getting us ready every day.  Until then, use the hits to inspire you and the misses to remind you that even Hollywood Divas get it wrong every now and then.

Stay Gorgeous Girls…

•  2012 Fashion Trends 
• 4 Skincare Tips for Men

Out with the old, in with the new as the saying goes.  A new year brings with it a renewed sense of being.  A clean slate, and another chance to change  the things we aren’t quite loving in our lives.

This is a great time to clean out your closets and makeup cabinets ladies, as colors, styles and trends change quicker than the blowing wind.  What made you ‘fashionable’ last year will have you looking ‘out of style’ this year.

So listen up- Fashion Guru Isaac Mizrahi stopped by the set of ABC’s Good Morning America to share his thoughts for what will take you to Chic in 2012.

Top 2012 Fashion Trends:

• Bright and Bold Colors.  Leave the pastels and the blacks of yesterday, and turn to COLOR.  2012 is all about color, and lots of it.  Mix it, match it and wear it!  And it’s all about color blocking, so ditch the temptation for the same color skirt and blouse and mix it up with 2 bold colors that compliment each other.

• Low Heals.  Ditch the heals ladies, flats scream STYLE this year.  You’ll no longer feel frumpy grabbing a pair of comfy flats, so embrace them while you can.  Isaac says you can wear them with a beautiful skirt and jacket combo, or pair them with a pair of jeans for a fun, casual look.

• Dropped Waistline.  Embrace tops and dresses that have a dropped waistline.  He says this elongates and adds height to a shortened torso, and may hide a few flaws.  But, beware, if you’re one with a couple rolls around the middle, he warns that this is NOT the look for you.  It can accentuate those rolls, so make sure to embrace this style IF your waistline can handle it.

And if fashion is what you’re all about, then mark your calendars for Thursday, January 5th when Lifetime will debut yet another show in the Project Runway Series- Project Runway All-Stars makes its debut.

Isaac joins Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, supermodel Angela Lindvall and Marie Claire editor-in-chief Joanna Coles for Project Runway: All Stars. Isaac and Georgina will judge the reality series, with the help of weekly guest judges, while Angela will host and Joanna will work as a mentor with contestants. The cast is comprised of past Project Runway contestants, all looking for a shot at $200,000 worth of cash and prizes.

So mark your calendars as you know the Designer Divas will bring with them lots of drama!

Stay Gorgeous Girls- and in style in 2012!

Red always seems to be  the color of the holidays.  Red lips, red sweaters, red handbags.  Just in and ready for your holiday party- the newest addition to the lineup of Coach Handbags- meet ‘Poppy Liquid Gloss’- the look of lacquer, the feel of patent leather and the color of candy!

It’s luxury with intricate details and a lot of character!  As always, each Coach Bag is completely assembled by hand.  They guarantee it.   The new Poppy Liquid Gloss line is available in several styles-seen here Pushlock Satchel in Cherry.   One to fit every budget.  Well, who are we kidding, one to fit ALMOST every budget.  They can be a bit pricey, BUT the quality and craftsmanship is well worth it.

Did you know- Coach was founded in 1941 as a family-run workshop. In a Manhattan loft, six artisans handcrafted a collection of leather goods using skills handed down from generation to generation. Discerning consumers soon began to seek out the quality and unique nature of Coach craftsmanship.
Over seventy years later Coach’s corporate headquarters remain in mid-town Manhattan on 34th Street, in the location of their former factory lofts.   They have become one of America’s premiere companies.  Carry your Coach with pride!

Stay Gorgeous Girls!
