Fun in the Sun

noreply@blogger.com (Trish) — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 05:15:00 +0000

While many are shivering in their boots this winter, some are catching some rays on the beach. Karina Smirnoff is one of those lucky, warm people. She was recently spotted in Turks and Caicos with boyfriend, Brad Penny.

The paparazzi is everywhere, I tell ya! While it's bad that she couldn't go on vacation without being snapped, it did give us a peek at Victoria Secret's 2010 swimwear! She's wearing a bikini from their Beach Sexy line.

Click here if you would like Karina's bikini for yourself!
This bikini comes in the gold she is wearing and silver. However, if you're not into metallics, VS also has several other colors and prints of the same style here!
Also be sure to check out all of the other gotta-have swimwear that Victoria's Secret has to offer while you're there!

Project Runway- Season 7

noreply@blogger.com (Trish) — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 06:16:00 +0000

I'm sure many of you were glued to the couch as the seventh season of the hit fashion show, Project Runway, premiered last night.

The season has quite an eclectic group of designers with plenty of potential. Unfortunately one of those designers got their Project Runway experience cut short. Christiane King, an L.A. fashion designer, was the first to be eliminated this season.

Do you agree with this elimination? If not, who do you think deserved the boot last night?

While some may have differing opinions, I think many can agree that this is going to be a fantastic season! I'm looking forward to next week!

But before we move on, here is a link the interview Movieline did with Christiane King: First eliminated contestant on Project Runway

The Hair Bow

noreply@blogger.com (Trish) — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 05:30:00 +0000

"The hair is the richest ornament of women."

Lady Gaga may not have been the first to wear a hair bow(literally) but she definitely made it hot!

This isn't something I wouldn't necessarily do myself but I know there are alot that would and have. This is one of those things that is a hit or miss, you either like it or you don't. For those that do, here is a nice tutorial. It's not in English but you don't really need to understand what she's saying to get the gist of it.

If you don't want to do all that yourself, you can use the lovely Lady Gaga's trick, extensions/hair piece.

Laid-back Chic
