Fashion Trends To be Kept And threw in 2010.

Fashion in 2010 had its favors and disfavors with some trends, like bright red lipstick, moving from the runway to the red carpet to Main Street and others, like Silly Bandz bracelets, going straight from the schoolyard to the arms of stars. 

Katrina Szish, "The Early Show" style contributor, reviewed a few of these with an eye to what's worth saving in your closet and what needs to be tossed.


As for the stars, Szish says lady Gaga and "Mad Men" star Jon Hamm are the red carpet royalty who hit all the right fashion notes , while Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Kei$ha are among the most error-prone when it comes to fashion.


"There's no such thing as cheesy-chic," she says, "just bad taste"
Here are Szish's suggestions for your closet:
What to Toss:

• 1950s-iInsdpired styles: "The Mad Men craze made it into the Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 runway but this trend's brief instant is over. It will be replaced by all things '70s in 2011.
• Jeggings: This unlucky attempt at jeans-as-leggings was a bad idea, made even worse the night Conan O'Brien wore a pair on his new TBS show.
• Silly Bandz: Started on the playground where girls collected and traded them , this trend is so 2010. (Hear that, Kelly Ripa and Katy Perry?)

What To Save:

• Platform Shoes: The higher the better! The trend is still going strong for 2011, despite the attempt to restore heels this fall. We saw them in the SPRING 2011 Marc Jacobs, Prada, Chanel, Fendi runway shows and on the feet of Anne Hathaway, Lady Gaga, Jessica Simpson, Victoria Beckham, and J.Lo.
• Leopard Prints: Tthe ubiquitous classic re-emerged as a must-have in 2010 and remains on the prowl for 2011! Check out Rachel Bilson, Jennifer Lopez, and Adam Lambert as celeb examples.

Quirky Nail Polish Colors: From teal to purple to light blue, every shade of the the rainbow will continue to make a style statement.

Penelope Cruz celebrates Christmas with husband at the basketball

Penelope Cruz looked treasured up as she kissed her husband Javier Bardem on Christmas Day at the basketball. 

The pair looked cosy on Saturday in their courtside places at the LA Lakers versus Miami Heat match at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The 36-year-old actress, who is six months pregnant with their child, couldn't take her eyes off the Eat Pray Love star.

Cruz was marked chatting to the Miami Heat team president Pat Riley, who also took her hand as he chatted to her and Javier. Bardem, 41, and Penelope, who married in July this year, were among a number of celebrities to watch the Lakers get beaten 80-96 by Miami Heat.

Other attendees included Hollywood star Cameron Diaz, who was there after returning from her Christmas holiday with baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

A modern Look on Jeans Fashion Trends

Jeans have become popular among teenagers and there are different fashion trends available in jeans. The different jean fashion trends available are,

Skinny jeans, boot cut, or flare. When women wear boots with jeans, they have an instant style and it can make women look sophisticated. Wearing cowboy boots with jeans will give men a great style. But if you want to make the look less ranch-hand and more city slicker, then get a pair of cowboy ankle boots and pair them with skinny jeans.

When it comes into jeans, fit is paramount. For both men’s jeans and women’s jeans, the classic boot cut jeans are said to be the most universally flattering shape. Another popular cut is the skinny jean and it pairs perfectly with flats and heels alike. The possibilities are endless if you go with a sexy low cut or trendy high-rise jeans.

Desperate Housewives episode, The Fashion Show

I'm still gloomy that Ro is gone. And so is Dominique.

Dominique spends almost all this week's show bawling over something or another: her dress, David's dress, the other team, losing. Someone get her a Valium, stat.

This week's task is to design a gown for a high-society charity ball. For a housewife.
Let me just say that I have never watched any Real Housewives episode. Not one. But it takes about 10 seconds to realize they are all insane.

I mean ...

Sadly, Kim Z. isn't here. And Bethenny is skating for her life, mouth agape.

So we're left with these girls, whoever they are. House of Emerald chooses Orange County and dresses them in coppers and golds and ALL WRONG. Jeffrey's dress is drab and inappropriate at the same time. Peekaboo cut-outs? Really?

Our Houston boy Cesar's look is grand -- nearly to a fault. There's too much material happening for his girl's skinny frame. And it's too short. And a bit ill-fitting. But it may not be entirely his fault. Cesar again plays father figure, this time to Golnessa (BEST NAME EVER), and it almost certainly cost him some of his own design.

But it doesn't matter, because Golnessa (BEST NAME EVER) and her weird bottom and side vajayjay are gone. I'm talking about the dress, people.
Nami gets New Jersey and goes for old Hollywood glamour and sea colors and is clearly the improved of the two.

Calvin designs two dresses for Teresa, and ends up with strange draping. He's still about the drama, but it's not really his fault this week. Crazy housewives and dreary designers -- I'd puff up, too.

David turns a TRAGIC Peter Pan-drag look -- were those wings? -- into simple grace, mostly thanks to his fellow designers. Eduardo is, as always, fabulous and again wins the challenge.

Winners of NEWGEN.

It has provided a platform for prominent alumni of designers, including Alexander McQueen, Giles Deacon, Christopher Kane and Erdem.
Now the BFC has outlet the new recipients of NEWGEN funding for Autumn Winter 201's shows in February. The prize, supported by Topshop, provides catwalk and display sponsorship for new talent, and has been instrumental in accelarating the careers of some of Britain's most successful designers. David Koma, Holly Fulton, Louise Gray, Mary Katrantzou and Michael van der Ham will all have shows in February funded by NEWGEN. All but David Koma and Mary Katrantzou have formerly shown as part of Fashion East, but NEWGEN is perhaps the most wanted after sponsorship scheme; providing a generous budget, and venues at the hub of London Fashion Week.

Caroline Rush, Joint Chief Executive of the British Fashion Council described the selected designers today as, "directional, modern and showing incredible promise." She continued, "we are excited for them to demonstrate the best of London’s emerging design talent to a global audience“.

Those receiving support for presentations include Christopher Raeburn, Craig Lawrence, JS Lee, JW Anderson (film presentation) and Nasir Mazhar, whose millinery has already been worn by Lady Gaga and Madonna. It will be Topshop's seventeenth season of support for NEWGEN, and Mary Homer, Managing Director of Topshop, said of their connection that "even after nine years [it] is still as exciting and inspiring today as it was back in 2001."

Gisele Bündchen opens about modeling, 'Gisele & the Green Team' & her family.

Supermodel Gisele Bündchen has been mentioned as "the biggest star in fashion history"   by a British newspaper. Since Bündchen already has the making-history thing nailed, she's pay attention on adding the future to her résumé — particularly, the future of the environment. If you were to ask this 6-foot wonder what her much loved color is, without a doubt, she'd say green.

Partnering with AOL and A Squared Entertainment, Bündchen has gone digital. She's appearing in cartoon form in the new AolKids.com animated Web series "Gisele & the Green Team," which debuted Dec. 7 at http://www.giseleandthegreenteam.com.

Blake Lively, the fresh ‘face’ of Chanel handbags?

Rumors point to the 'Gossip Girl' star being signed up by chanel to star in its upcomming handbag campaign.

It was only a matter of time before the young, blonde, long-legged beauty that is 'Gossip Girl' star Blake Lively was snapped up to be the 'face' of an international luxury powerhouse.

And so if rumors are to be accepted, French fashion house Chanel has bagged the actress of the moment as the advertising campaign star of its sought-after handbags range.> E! Online reported that Chanel's creative director Karl Lagerfeld (a multi-talented man who's a dab hand with a camera), photographed Lively in a Paris hotel for the ad campaign last month.

52, the perfect Age for Plastic Surgery from women minds.

According to survey, one in three women over 40 are so worried about their appearance that they would consider plastic surgery. Average women now reflect that, the best time for plastic surgery is 52 years, 41 weeks and four days.

If money were no object, a fifth of women between 40 and and 60 say they would gladly get a face lift to smooth out the signs of ageing. And almost a third - 29 per cent - said they would rather look 20 years younger than be a millionaire.

The survey asked which celebrity women thought was the perfect advertisement for looking great over 60, and the overwhelming choice for women over 40 was Twiggy.

The dress aspect: How Danni contrived Cheryl in the x factor.

It’s been the question from everyone: Which female judge will win this year’s X Factor style stakes? As the series enters its final week, fashion and beauty specialist Claire Coleman gives her verdict...

WEEK ONE: On the first live show Dannii Minogue pulls off the lace look without looking like a second-time bride, but Cheryl Cole seems to have cut down a flamenco dancer’s costume.

DESIGNERS: Dannii: J’Aton Couture; Cheryl: Zuhair Murad

WINNER: Dannii.

WEEK TWO:Undoubtedly one of Cheryl’s worst looks and she knows it. She looks painfully uncomfortable in this too-short, cut-out skater frock, and those fussy shoes probably aren’t helping. And, yes, while I concede that there’s a touch of Maggie Thatcher about Dannii’s outfit, she looks classy and together.

DESIGNERS: Dannii: Antonio Berardi; Cheryl: Versus.

WINNER: Dannii

WEEK THREE: Dannii’s gone for the Fifties sexy housewife thing while Cheryl’s outfit screams young, finger-on-the-pulse fashion. Both look like they’ve tried too hard.

DESIGNERS Dannii: Dolce & Gabbana; Cheryl: Kristian Aadnevik.

WINNER: Tie.

WEEK FOUR: Another uncomfortable night for Cheryl in her naughty French maid fancy dress attire. Dannii nails it with her Mad Men-inspired red ruffled dress.

DESIGNERS: Dannii: Marchesa; Cheryl: Jonathan Saunders.

WINNER: Dannii

WEEK FIVE: Er, did Cheryl forget to get dressed? She looks as though she got her slip caught in her knickers and ran out the door anyway. To be fair, Dannii could be accused of looking like a giant sweet, but at least she remembered her dress.

DESIGNERS: Dannii: Philip Armstrong; Cheryl: Pucci.

WINNER: Dannii

WEEK SIX:I know Cheryl looks as though she’s auditioning for a role as an evil Princess Leia in a soft-porn version of Star Wars, but I quite like it. Dannii’s classic toga-style dress really suits her, but I’d have preferred it if she’d ditched the gaudy turquoise earrings and gone for something simpler in gold.

DESIGNERS: Dannii: Carla Zampatti; Cheryl: Georges Chakra.

WINNER: Tie

WEEK SEVEN: It may look as though Cheryl’s ripped off Dannii’s look from last week and added some gold foil, but it’s still miles better than Dannii’s boring brown column dress.

DESIGNERS: Dannii: Gucci; Cheryl: BodyAmr.

WINNER: Cheryl

WEEK EIGHT: Every part of my brain says Cheryl’s dress shouldn’t work — it’s too gold, too spangly, too Oscar statuette. Yet I love it, and so does she. But Dannii looks uncomfortable in her acres of fussy, Greek-inspired red chiffon.

DESIGNERS: Dannii: Carla Zampatti; Cheryl: Gianfranco Ferre.

WINNER: Cheryl

WEEK NINE: What with Dannii’s oversized corsage and Cheryl in a work of origami, neither of these outfits represents their best look. Still, both are flattering, even if the detailing is a bit wacky.

DESIGNERS: Dannii: Aurelio Costarella; Cheryl: Stephane Rolland.

WINNER: Tie

AND THE WINNER IS...
While Cheryl has outshone Dannii in previous series, this year Ms Minogue has really hit her stride. 

She’s learned to keep things simple, having worked out that clean-cut lines look best on camera.

Her remaining act, Matt Cardle, may be the bookies’ favourite to win this weekend’s final, but in the style stakes, it’s Dannii who has the X Factor.

ALL about Fashion, Outfit, outlook and Being notable.

Being fashionable nowadays also means considering of your clothes, of your tastes, of your manner. Fashion is an outfit, it is a style. It is a form of art, just like painting or modernism and it is what we have inherited from our intimates. There is an English saying according to which you should always eat enough for you to be satisfied, but dress up so that the others around you also like you. Fashion also represents a balance between your personal tastes and the tastes which are commonly accepted, it means adopting a personal touch, which matches your times, it is the art of choosing the right elements for the right occasions.

Matching your clothes suitable for you is still a matter of taste, but it is a matter of good taste. This is no longer something subjective. It is already something that is associated with politeness. We dress up for ourselves and for the others. The fashion houses we have today offer everyone the chance to express themselves. There is a continuous fight over adapting, over being sincere when it comes to fashion. However, it appears that the fashion styles which will follow will be fashion styles which have nothing inflexible in them, which are evolved, everyone being their own fashion designer and learning to separate what fits them from what doesn't fit them. However, there is one universally valid rule and that is that all bright colors represent a lack of taste.

Peaches Geldof turns torture aunt

Peaches Geldof is set to start dishing out advice on her very own agony aunt show.

The 21-year-old - who ended her six-month marriage to Max Drummey in February – has been given her own show by British channel ITV2.

Called OMG! Totally Peaches, the six-part series will see the star listen to young people's problems and offer them advice in front of an audience.

Peaches, who herself was found unconscious after a suspected overdose in 2008, told The Sun, 'I'm so excited. I can't wait to find out what's on the minds of young people today.'

Helena laughed at `Best Dressed` tag

Actress Helena Bonham Carter has exposed she explode into laughter after learning that she has been named one of the best dressed celebrities.

The "Alice In Wonderland" star was chosen as one of the best dressed celebrities by Vanity Fair magazine. The actress says she laughed at the tag because she lauded for the same outfits critics had previously savaged her for, reports express.co.uk.

"It was a triumph! It made me laugh because I thought it was a joke when I found out. But when I saw the article, I thought, `Oh, the photos they`ve chosen are as bad as the ones they print when I`m worst dressed," she said.

The 44-year-old insists she won`t be changing her ways as she grows older.

"I don`t feel any pressure to dress well. When I was younger, I cared more what people say. When I did do the Oscar thing, I did feel quite a lot of pressure to dress a certain way," she said.

JEANS FASHION

There has never been a wider range of one unique style of clothing. Jeans are a typical American staple that has grown to be worn by every sector of society. No longer are jeans simply blue and firm, though that old classic still remains. Some hits for the spring and summer include jeans dusted with glitter, ripped jeans and denim shorts.

Studded pockets originated during the gold rush when the found gold outweighed the denim pockets and caused them to tear. One way to rock your Denim is to express their connection with the gold rush by wearing jeans with gold star dust brushed transverse the thighs. Metallics in fashion are expanding their land past jewelry and are finding their way on to fabrics due to the new adherent qualities of finishes on fabrics. When daisy dukes are not an option long jeans can still be worn, even in the heat. Ripped jeans have their place in the past but new styles are tearing down to threads. Unraveled stringy jeans are hardly holding together this summer but as they fall apart the legs will be exposed to the summer air. Jeans fashion became the culture of modern trends.

The more destroyed they are, the better. Black jeans look particularly nice in shreds and they look great with almost everything except a date to a nice restaurant. They can be tattered by opening a hole in the pant and dancing around and another way to rip them up is with a cheese greater. Very detailed holes and shapes can be created by opening individual seams or groups of seams with the wonderful seam ripper invention that are conveniently found in ease stores. Denim shorts are the classic casual summer bottom and the best thing about summer shorts is the jeans from last year can magically change into cut offs with the swipe of a scissor. Because the destroyed look is in the shorts do not have to look perfectly tailored.

The most popular hairstyle trends of men.

In fashion, hair style plays a role and if you want to be a fashion model, you need to understand the different types of hairstyle trends that exist. Here, we will have a look at 2010 mens hairstyle trends.

Short hairstyles:

                           High and tight or fade is the most popular short hairstyle trend in 2010. Enough hair on the top and clipper cut around the sides and the back is this style characterized about and it has many variations.

Medium hairstyle:

                                  In this style the men do not have a short hair and also a long hair. They have a medium hair in their head and improve the style of the hair by texture and color.

Inside Fashion, Paris Hilton Has pointed Animal Instincts.

Paris Hilton is an specialist at mixing the season's top trends–you might be too if you had her implausible resources! For a night out at West Hollywood's Boudoir, Paris deftly paired a fur-and-feather vest with short black shorts, black tights and the trend du jour: leopard print ankle boots.

We love it when Paris shows her wild side in fashion, and this was surely a notice-me ensemble. A sleek center-parted ponytail was a perfect finish to her look.

We've dotted other celebrities with a similar look, including Cassadee Pope, Jessica Alba, and Jessica Szohr.

Capes, kitten heels and Mad Men - I got totally wrong few things in this year.

Being a top fashion editor is certainly a odd kind of job. 

You spend all year being ­ferried in cars from ­catwalk show to ­catwalk show, ­having flutes of bubbly pressed into your hand while your head is turned by 16-year-old models on the catwalk. You visit the showrooms of all the big designers and High Street stores to eat trendy canapes. You think about color, fit and value for money. 

You then tell your readers about all these trends, and what they should be trying this winter. And then a few months later you browse the ­winter sales rails and see all your predictions ­languishing on the hangers, their prices slashed — and your status is in tatters. The proof of the pudding is whether or not the ­public bought the stitch stuff. 

Much of what I ­predicted the ­consumer would love, you resoundingly dismissed such as the Mad Men look, which is all retro prints, full skirts, rigid handbags and an updo. I even dressed up in this look for you, and still you voted by keeping your ­wallets snapped firmly shut.

Modest fashion dresses

Animal prints in fashion:

Animal printed designs give a personalized look and also it can be used to create awareness on the depletion of animals. 

Cozy Country:

                             Cozy country fashion dresses remember a romantic dream of having tea in a cottage in the English countryside. Charcoal dresses, ivory dresses and chunky Fair Isle knits are some among them. Wool sweaters, faux trim are some among them. When you wear these dresses, it remains that you a countryside cottage. 

Fashion party dresses:

                                     Party is a place where you meet lots of people and sometimes you meet even your favorite celebrities and the party dresses should give a gloomy and sexy look. Velvet dresses, faux fur jackets, vintage sequin tops and platform wedges are the fashion party dresses

How to be fit and well happy.

WHETHER you're feeling stressed out, emotionally delicate or suffering from the winter blues, there's a fitness direction to turn it around.

Emotions ride high in the lives of celebrities, such as Cheryl Cole who is 27 years, and their problems remind us how brittle we all can be. Exercise has newly been hailed as nature's own antidepressant - an effective treatment for sadness, anxiety and depression. It's all thanks to mood-boosting chemicals a workout produces in your brain. Finally fashion celebrities are at their best.  

Serotonin and endorphin levels rise with exercise, which can strengthen positive emotion and behaviour. And a workout can fix other problems too, such as stress and anger, by diverting your mind, relaxing your muscles and even altering your body's biochemistry.
