Where Afros and Lingerie Make Magic

In Paris, a rumoured 6.5 million Euro fashion show was launched for designer Sonia Rykiel's lingerie collection for H&M. The extravangant show featured models on floats, with swings and even a parade of live geese! The models were sporting larger than life afros, it ALMOST makes me wish I had one.  The collection will be in H&M stores worldwide this Saturday. Check out this clip from the show:

Blog Me Fabulous

People go to blogs because its a more authentic voice, its a citizen voice and not a so-called expert voice. But wouldn't you want to know that the person isn't just making things up? That's the risk we run when getting our information from blogs rather than print sources. It has come to a point where bloggers are revered as much as newspaper and magazine journalists. This is particularly evident in the fashion industry where—in the words of Heidi Klum on Project Runway—“one day you’re in and the next day you’re out”. The instantaneousness of fashion blogging feeds fashionistas the trends of today and tomorrow. The blogging medium has catapulted young bloggers to A-list journalist status in the fashion industry. From New York to Milan, the front row seats during Fashion Week usually reserved for editors and the glitterati, are filed with these young, fashionable, internet sensations.

Fashion and beauty go hand in hand, and when I'm not knee deep in beauty blogs I like to frequent some fashion sites too. Here are my faves:

1. The Sartorialist
2. Jak and Jil
3. Style.com
4. Style Rookie
5. Bryan Boy
6. Sea of Shoes
7. Garance Dore
8. Polyvore
9. Looklet

MIT T-Shirt Design Contest Entries

Fashion and beauty go hand in hand and although I am no Style Ranger, but I figured I would take a break from my curlers and lipsticks and design a little something for the MIT T-Shirt design contest. Let me know what you think. And if you decide you like/love one/all of them tell the world and help me win a free t-shirt.
