Planning a wedding this spring and looking for some new ideas for bridal headpieces and veils? Check out New York’s Bridal Runway for 2010 and you will be inspired by innovative styles to update your traditional look.
Here are 3 key trends to look for:
- Bird-cage veils are the retro-alternative to long, trailing veils.
- Add a whimsical touch by placing feathers on your headpiece.
- Try a hat on for size! Designers incorporated timeless Derby hats with the option of a veil for a fashion-forward look.
You can combine various ideas, but don’t go trend-overboard. Think about the style and vibe of your wedding. Having an outdoor wedding? Consider the hat for a unique 20’s look. You could also put a splash of romance into a simple, yet chic dress by entwining feathers throughout your hairstyle!

If Hollywood was High School, the Oscars was considered the Prom. And at the prom last night, we saw some of the most spectacular dresses these beautiful and dashing actresses and actors wore as they sashayed down the red carpet. Some of the night’s best-dressed include the following:
Carey Mulligan is actually a red carpet darling and once again, at the Oscar’s red carpet this pixie looking actress didn’t disappoint. Wearing an Erdem dress, one of the most original and hottest up and coming fashion designers, it perfectly matched her very quirky style.
I can sometimes never agree with what Maggie Gyllenhaal wears because she is an individual when it comes to style, but she effortlessly looks gorgeous in this Dries Van Noten print dress. She can carry this well, when not everyone will be able to.
This year’s Prom Queen is perhaps Sandra Bullock, who is making quite a splash for her movies, The Blind Side and The Proposal, in all awards shows left and right (including the Razzie’s which awards the worsts of Hollywood). The actress looks absolutely stunning in this pale gold gown styled with vintage fabric. It was designed by Marchesa. The lipstick though, not so much.
Vera Farmiga, another nominee for Up In The Air, looks absolutely fantastic in this ruffled pink dress. It may be too overpowering to be worn by someone else but she just made it work by especially wearing minimal jewelry.
Sigourney Weaver’s Grecian inspired dress may look plain if not for the deep red shade and black contrast. Then it look absolutely gorgeous. She dressed right for her age and figure.
Who among the stars were your best dressed favorites?

Maybe because there are so many competing fashion brands out there. Maybe it’s the constant need to be always on top of the market, to create that recall so that people will not forget your brand. Maybe it’s a marketing tool. Whatever it is, the idea that Dianne Von Furstenberg, or DVF, releasing a music album is one that elicits quite a few surprised reaction.
The designer doesn’t sing or isn’t a performer. So what is she doing with it?
Sources say, the album will include choice cuts that from singers the designer love to listen to. So, no she won’t be singing or switching careers, she will just be compiling some of her well-loved songs to share with you.
These songs are from artist like Annie Lennox, Joss Stone and many more and the album is entitled “Proud To Be A Woman”. To be released on March 8, to celebrated the International Women’s Day, proceeds of sale so of this album will go to charities DVF supports.
It’s a good idea, right?

Seen at the fashion runway for Spring collection are clothes and dresses with polka-dotted prints. I don’t particularly like polka dots and I think the style gets old pretty quickly but I do think it will work for the Spring season. Polka dots are kinda fun and colorful, just like the spirit of the season.
You can incorporate this style in your wardrobe by keeping in mind the following tips —
1. Mix and match. Play with a lot of colors and contrast. Fashion this time is all about the contrast. The bolder it is the better it looks. Plus, it is fun to try and be adventurous with your style once in a while.
2. Don’t ignore the accessories. Start with a polka-dotted scarf for example and play around with it. This can be an accent to your whole ensemble.

Trying on clothes at the store? Do mind these dressing room tips when you do:
a) Be careful with the merchandise. Don’t toss it around anywhere, especially if you find that the clothes don’t really fit you well and you decide not to get it. Put it back in the orderly manner you got it. If it comes with a hanger, then by all means, hang the clothes back on it.
b) Make sure that you aren’t eating any food when you try something on. You might stain the blouse you got and it will be worse if you don’t even have the intention of buying this. It’s the same thing for lipstick, too. Be careful about wearing this and make sure that you don’t leave any lip mark. White items are a killer.
c) Don’t leave your trash inside the dressing room. There are trash cans for that. Always ensure cleanliness and respect the establishment. The sales team tend to remember customers like you and will surely dread servicing you the next time you come back.

Vogue is really a trendsetter. And Vogue’s Italy site makes another first for the franchise by launching it’s own plus size community site, as well as a special site for women of color. This shows how much progressive the people behind Vogue wants the label to become.
The Curvy Site currently features famous curvaceous women like America Fererra and Lizzie Miller. It has content and fashion tips for voluptuous women. The Black site meanwhile currently features Tyra Banks and other interesting articles for the African-descent woman.
Common to both these sites are the layout. However, there is not much content yet but we’re definitely seeing some future in this. For years, women of color have been hoping to find their niche in the Vogue community. And Vogue Italia seems to be one of the few ones to take notice.
Kudos to Vogue!
