COCHELLA FASHION (MUSIC AND ART FESTIVAL)

The cochella music festival seemed to be a success (i wasn't there....wish i was tho ... *tear*) but moving on.
Tons of stars (and fans of good music) came out to listen to such names as Jay-Z, Muse, Gorillaz, MGMT and Vampire Weekend (to name a few). This years music festival had it's share of funky fashions, from florals to fedoras to maxis,  music fans came decked out in gladiator sandals, boots, jean cut-offs and headbands to be amongst Coachella-goers as Camilla Belle, Kate Bosworth and Katy Perry. Styles ranged from hard-rock chick to bohemian hippie as the three day festival raged on. Here’s a look at what some of our favorite celebs were wearing:


Beyonce watched husband, Jay-Z, rock out in cut-offs, a Wildfox Couture tee and lots of chain accessories.



Dita Von Teese was festive in a printed wrap dress, brown espadrilles and a sombrero-esque bag


Hilton sisters had a good time in printed dresses and Paris in Tory Burch flats



Actress Malin Akerman punctuated a triangle bikini top with a partly mesh ivory vest and haphazardly laced boots


Alessandra Ambrosio seemed every bit the model in a flirty dusty rose polka dot tank dress with tiered skirt. What helped amp up her minimalist outfit was that colorful fringed gypsy scarf.




Rachel Bilson looked cute in Ray Ban shades, a blue leopard tank by Brigid Castiis and Paige Denim shorts


Twilight star Ashley Greene earns points for letting her accessories take center stage including a fedora with patterned ribbon accent, fringed bag featuring a braided strap and tri-buckle short brown boots.



Katy Perry was ready to rock in a black studded dress complemented with studded sandals


90210 cast member Jessica Stroup played down the illustrated print on her mini dress by layering a light army green sleeveless button-up and finishing off with ankle cuffed sandals

Look Book Exclusive: Charles Henry Fall 2011

Meredith Fisher, the 23-year-old designer behind Charles Henry, has quietly been building this new brand after shuttering her original line, WAYF, which she started at the age of 17. Meredith has always counted on her garmento grandfather as an inspiration, and her A/W 2011 look book reflects this, with its crisp designs and clean tailoring....which i absolutely love
The collection is girly but not frilly, with watercolor prints, black lace, and pops of red. Skirts are short–call the length flirty–but balanced by blousier tops or shirt dress tailoring. The overall message? Adorable but never precious.

scroll below to view a few pieces from the lookbook..




















My fave is number 21....loving the animal prints on the skirt..love the aqua blu as well....
whats your fave pic?....

LOL....today i felt a bit...idk...so...here's to the worst of the worst...WHAT NOT TO DO ...WHAT NOT TO WEAR

“Ahh, I remember the 90s,” Gwen Stefani thought.


“Of course, they’re hard to forget when you’re married to them. Er, I mean, wearing them. Freudian slip.”

What the heck was she thinking....i mean...Gwen looks like a freaking bag lady.....i like the nail polish tho....hot colour =]

 
Wow. The workman’s jumpsuits at Just Tires have gotten REALLY directional all of a sudden...well....at least the shoes look nice...you go gurrrlll.....




You are adorable, and I want this outfit. Sure, it’s 100% YSL and therefore would cost me, like, my tuition. But I’m just saying. If The Secret is real (it’s not), then the package i'm getting from Global Couriers will ACTUALLY contain this outfit, instead of what I’m pretty sure it really contains (a couple a bikinis). EVERYBODY THINK POSITIVE.


Um. Nice legs? Sure. Let’s just stick with that.
 moving on........
The rats got her jeans just before she left the house......yeah..i'm all for ripped jeans an all...but like....frankly....theses are a mess.....



But maybe someone should have told Katie Holmes that they re-made Alice in Wonderland just last year.
That being said, if she’s at a place in her career where she’s trying to convince people to cast her in iconic roles simply by prancing around town already decked out in full costume, then I have some suggestions for her — suggestions that, obviously, stem solely from the fact that I’d like to see her try to pull off the following looks while waiting at the valet stand outside Nobu for her car:
  • The Wicked Witch of the West
  • Supergirl
  • Eleanor of Aquitaine (the imprisoned years)
  • Basketball coach Rick Pitino
  • artist Salvador Dali
  • Dawson Leery
  • The Virgin Mary
And I’d argue that the photo after the jump means she’s ALSO trying to land herself a gig on Pretty Little Liars

LOOK FOR LOOK AT THE GRAMMY'S

Rihanna's 'look' at the grammy's



ON THE RED CARPET:


 Never one to shy away from making a fashion statement (or from showing slivers of skin), Rihanna combined her sleek red mane with a supersexy Jean-Paul Gaultier gown.








DURING HER PERFORMANCE WITH EMINEM: 


While onstage with rapper Eminem for their performance of "Love the Way You Lie," Rihanna wore a dramatic full-skirted, strapless Christian Dior ball gown.









DURING HER PERFORMANCE WITH DRAKE: 


Giving her performance of "What's My Name?" with rapper Drake an island spin, Rihanna slow whined in a fringed and beaded outfit and stiletto booties.





I love this tribal inspired outfit....very nice...


Katy Perry's 'look' on the grammy's


ON THE RED CARPET:


 Katy stepped out in a custom-made Giorgio Armani evening dress featuring a Swarovski crystal encrusted bustier and an iridescent silk organza ruffled skirt. But, the feathery angel wings were a bit too much for my liking....personally i'm not feeling the dress...the bottom half reminds me of plastic....



ONSTAGE:
 In an ode to Valentine's Day, Katy wore a custom-designed Giorgio Armani pink dress during her live performance. The minidress included a corset top embellished with pink shimmering rock crystals. She teamed her ensemble with a pair of custom-made Giorgio Armani platform shoes. I (heart)!






IN THE AUDIENCE: 
Finally, Katy closed the evening in a Giorgio Armani PrivĂ© iridescent silvery cocktail dress. She wore the embellished one-shoulder design with Valeska jewelry.



Lady Gaga's 'look' at the grammy's


ON THE RED CARPET: 

Lady Gaga "incubated" on the red carpet in a womb-with-a-view created by Hussein Chalayan....i personally dont know what the hell she was thinking..but....it's Lady Gaga ....smh




PERFORMING ON STAGE: 
While belting out her new single, "Born This Way," Gaga showed her dance moves (she's got a few!) in a Mugler by Nicola Formichetti-designed see-through yolk-colored half-shirt, skirt, jacket, and hat.



FOR HER ACCEPTANCE SPEECH:
 Winning a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album, Lady Gaga took to the stage wearing a Mugler by Nicola Formichetti black getup with thigh-high boots and above-the-elbow gloves… Oh, and she rocked prosthetic baby horns and alien-esque pointy shoulders.


IN THE AUDIENCE: 
Sitting pretty (for an alien!), Lady Gaga donned a black one-shoulder jacket and thigh-high boots by Mugler by Nicola Formichetti, plus a face-covering circle hat by Franc Fernandez.
