Karl Lagerfeld and... Karl Lagerfeld
Let’s just make it general knowledge that I love Karl.
No, he’s not some hot guy in a band (although that would be nice!); he’s the Kaiser himself – Karl Lagerfeld, creative director of Chanel and his own namesake line, Lagerfeld. My heartfelt affections for him aren’t because of his twisted, chic designs, like what he has done for Net-a-Porter, but because of what comes out of his wonderfully thick-accented mouth. more…
Maia Campbell (c. 1996)
Picture it: UPN, 1996. A stunningly beautiful actress from Maryland, daughter to famed author Bebe Moore Campbell, plays LL Cool J’s surrogate on the sitcom, In the House. Nominated for a Young Artist Award, her developing acting chops and striking looks earn her a series of bit parts in TV and film. She’s twenty years old, her star’s on the rise, and her name is Maia Campbell.
Thirteen years later, an erratic and excitable woman sits in a parked Monte Carlo inhaling a ninety-nine cent bag of Lays and hurling obscenities. The moment is captured on video, posted to YouTube, and admonished by those who remember her: She’s thirty-three years old, her life’s taken a dive, and her name is Maia Campbell.

Tom Cruise in Rock of Ages
Tom Cruise can spy on the worlds most dangerous governments as Ethan Hawke, break dance to Ludicrous as the supporting mean guy in Tropic Thunder, and believe it or not, he may even have perfect pitch! more…

The Humble and Multipurpose Scarf
Since the beginning, scarves have added feminine flair to every woman’s ensemble. Whether placed around the shoulders, tied around the neck or knotted on the head, scarves add the final touch. Nowadays, there are a variety of designs, sizes and styles to choose from. Remember to choose one that’s stylish yet speaks about your personal style statement.
Types of scarves:
Circle/Infinity Scarves are definitely trending this season. For a simple yet forward fashion look, these are a must have. Not much knotting or tying needs to be done here, but what’s fun are the double-sided two-toned scarves that give you double the trouble with two splashes of contrasting color.
Triangular Scarves are not new, but for this season, these scarves have been approved in bright colors and eye-catching prints. If you want to add a jazzy feel to any button-up collared blouse or semi-formal look, then this is the way to go.
Oversized Scarves are the most popular trend. There’s just so much fabric, you can do anything with these scarves. They add beautiful draping looks to any denim casual appearance and add a hint of elegance.
Regular Rectangle Scarves are classic and I’m sure everyone has these stashed somewhere in their closet. There are thick wool scarves used in cool temperatures, and then there are skinny thin scarves used to create a chic look.
Scarves come in many shapes, patterns, textures and prints; it’s impossible to not have fun with them.
Tips on using and styling scarves:
Styles to consider:
Instead of doing the usual bow tie add a new twist to it.
Casual Swing, Butterfly Wrap & Slip Knot
Using scarves as head wraps has become the biggest trend of this year.
Rosette Turban & Crown Wrap
Looks best with skirts and high waist pants.
Knotted Belt
With a nice blouse this classic look will never get old.
Bandana Wrap
Katy Perry and Jessie James
“My mama warned me about boys like you, it’s a reason I wear these steel-toed boots.” Katy Perry comes swinging again with this new track—but is it for someone else?
It’s official! The six-time Grammy nominee will make her triumphant return to the music world by performing at the 2012 Grammy Awards in February, and the singer could not have picked a more perfect place to do so! more…
FROM LEFT: Emma Stone, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep
The SAG Awards, which aired last Sunday, definitely had some jaw dropping moments. The show may have been great, but the best moments were captured before any trophies were handed out—on the red carpet.
The SAG Awards is one of the few award shows where all the celebs are allowed to have a little more fun with fashion. However, this didn’t stop Joan Rivers and the rest of the fashion critics on E!’s Fashion Police from criticizing more…
Jack White's newest find - The Black Belles

Justin Bieber
Yesterday, Alec Baldwin interviewed Saturday Night Live‘s executive producer Lorne Michaels on his “Here’s The Thing” podcast. During their conversation, Baldwin read the board of confirmed SNL hosts that was in Michaels’ office, letting it slip that Justin Bieber will be hosting SNL in the upcoming months. Though this information has not yet been confirmed by the NBC network, Michaels confirmed the announcement while on air with Baldwin. I wonder how NBC feels about this leaked information… more…
