Amateur girl with model attitude

Today my wife and I were discussing how Paris Hilton got to be where she is today. Indeed, she is the daughter of a rich family, tall, skinny, and beautiful, but there are many women like her. What made her a style icon was that she has the attitude of a rock star. Even if she were to put on clothes from Old Navy, she will still rock it.

That is what I feel about this girl.

Sunglasses with an attitude

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:11:30 -0400

My favorites are the aviator glasses since they wrap around my eyes and block sunlight sneaking through the side. It definitely protects my eyes and also sun damage around the delicate skin next to the eyes.

In any case, I love these glasses. They are perfect for a festive occasion or for a party; if you are shy, trust me, guys will approach you just to talk about your eyewear choice.

Bold neck accessory

Wouldn’t it be fair to say that if you are going to wear an accessory make it a bold one? One that would become a conversation piece!

Burberry silk scarf as sarong

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:55:29 -0400

I have noticed that full size scarves can be used as a shawl or sarong but I always thought Burberry only made wool scarves. This is the first time I am seeing a silk scarf. My favorite is still the Hermes silk scarf. Obviously several women have shown that a silk scarf can be used as a head band.

Scarf over a tank top

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 16:33:41 -0400

I am really starting to like the way you can take a scarf and wrap it around your chest; I guess if you are big breasted, instead of using a Winkee, this should do the trick to hide your large breasts. Or you can use these tips to show cleavage without looking cheap.

Perfect black dress

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 15:46:44 -0400

I am always looking for girls that are confident in their skin and that allows them to pick their clothes as if they were born to dress stylish. She is one of them. I also love that choker.

Scarves make the girls

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 13:19:22 -0400

As you already know I am a big fan of using scarves as an accessory to spice up any outfit. I mean how this girl on the left has completely transformed her look with that pink scarf.

Blonde in pink low cut dress

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 13:14:49 -0400

I am not always sure if a girl can pull off some shade of pink right but she does. I think it is a pretty dress and despite the low neckline due to her small breasts she still looks very elegant.

Long white shirt with black leather belt and leggings

I must admit that I love the crisp white shirt and how the waist is emphasized with that beautiful belt but if I see it right I am not thrilled with those leggings. A pair of black pants or skinny jeans would have been perfect.

Scarves converted into tops

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:51:37 -0400

You saw the scarf top that Bai Ling wore. Then this Japanese girl crisscrossed a knitted scarf around her chest to create a top. That is why I wanted to share two other unique designs here.

In the first photo, the blonde wraps a black lace scarf on her bra to create a great look for a night out.

In the second photo, a woman wears a long scarf as a top by wrapping and crisscrossing it a few times.

Sherlyn Chopra in a traditional Indian outfit

What attracted to me to this outfit was its creativity and I had to dig up to find out who the model is. Apparently she is an Indian model/singer/actress (I understand that she is still struggling to make it) but I definitely love her hairpiece, the sequined bra top, and while she seems to be wearing a bellydancing scarf over her panties, I would expect that you might wear a skirt and still use the scarf.

Beyonce in pretty shoes

While I have typically admired Beyonce for her music but it seems that I should start paying attention to her dresses on the red carpet (I think what she wears while performing can be safely ignored since those are costumes). That is why these purple shoes definitely deserve a mention in my style diary.

Pretty in white dress

I must confess that this is a very pretty, but still casual, white dress that I have seen in a while. I am not sure it can be called a shirt dress but with that belt tied in a bow at the waist, it sure looks cute on her.

Peaches Geldof cute hairbands

Now remember that this is a photo shoot for Ultimo Lingerie but what caught my attention are the polka dot silk scarves used as headbands.

This is Shanna Moakler in an ad for SMOAK comsetics, and as she puts it, “where there’s SMOAK there’s fire!” I am already seeing the flames. But seriously, I love the hairpiece.

Jennifer Love Hewitt high heel shoes

Jennifer Love Hewitt was at the Monte Carlo TV Festival and along with an A line skirt black sleeveless top, she wore these awesome shoes.

Hofit Golan in a backless dress at the Cannes red carpet

I find that backless dresses are awesome to show some skin without looking cheap. However, I noticed that Hofit Golan did not wear a backless bra (what looks like bra strap is the design of the dress). I am also told that her backline plunged too deep and ended up exposing her thong creating a whaletail.

Elena Lenina in a black sheer dress in Cannes on the red carpet

If you (like me) were impressed with Cher’s sheer outfit, then this dress on Elena Lenina should wow you as well. I love the combination of black and pink, and if I am not mistaken, you see what you ought to see and what is not meant to be seen is hidden with a tease. Great way to pull together a seethrough dress.

Emma Stone in an interesting necklace

Remember that silk choker that I showed you earlier? That is how this necklace caught my attention when Emma Stone wore it for the premiere of the movie Girlfriends Past. I even wonder if such accessories can be put together by us without much effort!

Rossy de Palma and Phoebe Price head accessories

If you thought Madonna had the craziest headpiece in the world, I am sure that choices made by Rossy de Palma and Phoebe Price would make you change your mind. I changed mine.
