NEW DO.

Solange stepped out in Los Angeles yesterday showing her new haircut. Here is what she had to say about her change:

Don't want a edge up or a perm because Im not trying to make this "a style"
or a statement. I just wanted to be free from the bondage that black women
sometimes put on themselves with hair. This phase of my life I want to spend the
time, the energy and the money on something else, not in the hair salon.

MARY-KATE OLSEN VS. ROSARIO DAWSON

Mary-Kate wore her Missoni skirt back in april to the Tribeca Film Festival Awards Night Party, pairing it with a black leather jacket and brown cluth. While Rosario debuted hers in july at the The Ischia Global Film and Music Festival In Italy. Rosario went for a completely different look turning her skirt into a strapless dress, pairing it with a belt and Louboutin pumps. So tell me who wore it best??

Sometimes we forget: the lady makes the dress. I am not somebody who is just looking at Gisele and hoping she will wear my clothes. As a model, yes, she is my dream. But a nice, gutsy lady with lots of personality to her is my dream, too. I love a woman who eats food, who has a body, that is a woman and not a stick.
Valentino Garavani

My inspiration is myself. How I live my life contributes to what I want to wear, and whatever suits my lifestyle is what comes out. It never changes. It’s not like I watch a science-fiction movie and then decide to make science-fiction clothes.

WATCH FOR GOLD.

While surfing the internet like I always do I landed on Jak and Jil, which is where I stumbled onto this pic. Wearing nothing but stacked gold watches and bangles she manages to stand out and not look ridiculous. Keeping the rest of her look simple in all black, this look is pure perfection. Below I gathered three watches that can create this look while staying on a budget.
