2006 TRENDS I LOVED AND HATED CONT...

Love:

BANGS!!

Spring show...


Trend setter..


Spring show...


Hate:

OVER-EXPOSURE
This like bangs has always been around but heres the rant anyway: Designers make beautiful clothing that sometimes only models on the catwalk can wear in a certain way, unfortunately people in the public eye don't see it that way, which makes bars in Winnipeg look like even more trash. Please don't wear fashion in the following way...

Showing off your naval is something you did when you where in the 8th grade. Why is grown women dressing this way...


It would be a beautiful dress but...


I don't think I need to explain...

2006 TRENDS I LOVED AND HATED CONT...

Love:

Tights

I love tights there so comfy and attractive at the same time. There perfect for fall and winter so you can still wear skirts and the sweater dresses that are all the rage this season. However, make sure there always used in a sophisticated way, otherwise they may come off silly and childish. Remember - You can never wear tights with holes in them and that they coordinate with your outfit

Great way to wear tights:









Not so Good way to wear tights:


La Senza has a nice pair of footless tights http://www.lasenza.com

Hate:

Bows!! If you can pull them off great but for most people there theatrical and therefore make you look tacky.

2006 TRENDS I LOVED AND HATED

Love....

The Headband

A headband can be used as a cute accessory for a bad hair day shopping or as bold statement for a night out. It has been everywhere this year and has been given a much needed boost from previously being an 80's staple, to the perfect accessory for a Yves Saint Laurent dress.

Teri your a Desperate Housewife your better then this!!!


OK why Do people wear these things? Oh yeah right there comfortable, ummm how can you be comfortable wearing these as a grown ass person. Only children can get away with this kind of footwear. There's girls in my city that wear these bloody shoes and trot people that still think uggs are in. All I'm saying is how the hell did this become a trend for comfort, when you have these...

Havaiana Flip-Flops

These are your simple flip-flops that are cute, stylish and comfortable.

Best and Worst fahionistas of the Year!

Alright here is my take on who I thought worked it out in 2006 with chic personal style and who should fire there stylist or maybe hire one.

Best Dressed:

Best Dressed editor is..............
Paris Vogue's Carine Roitfeld, sorry Anna I still loveee you.

WHO is she ?

Well this Women is editor of Paris Vogue and is also a stylist. She killed it all year with her quirky personal style and amazing modern fashion choices. This women by the way is in her fifties!!!! OK some of you might say that she may not dress her age and her choices are weird, but as the editor of French Vogue, she needs to be an inspiration and muse for the worlds leading fashion houses and her edge keeps things modern.







^^By Scott Schuman, the Sartorialist^^





Best Dressed Model is.....
Kate Moss...surprise surprise

Come on she is simply the reason all of us girls dress the way we dress..you think Sienna or Lindsay started all the trends, please they just had a stylist copy what kate does.














Best Dressed Actress is....
Jennifer Aniston

Some say Jennifer Aniston is somewhat of a boring dresser, she's just the girl next door and theres a million ppl who look like her and blah blah. They like the look and fashion of the Scarlets and Lindsay's of Hollywood. However these girls personal style is just developing as they are young, and I think sometimes they try to hard and wear items not flattering to their figures. If you like there style I'm really sorry if i offend anyone, its just an opinion. Other critics say Jennifer is the fahsionista that can relate to all the everyday girls who are moms, sisters, college students, and basically anyone who has to live a non-celebrity life. That's one huge reason I'm putting her on this list, and she has an amazing polished look, that is still casual and effortless. She does have personal style, look at her choices they are consistent not all over the board. She always has that Jennifer Aniston look with the amazing hair cuts, black or neutral colour choices, and simple make-up . Anyways enough with my babbling on to Jennifer Anistons fashion...enjoy











Best Dressed socialite...
Nicole Richie

Oh the drama this girl has gone through all year round the eating disorder, on and off friendship with Paris, partying, firing of a stylist, and now the DUI. She can sometimes casually dress like blah, we did not want to see her in that bikini, but all the girls went for her look, that LA/Laguna beach look of casual and glam with a whole lot ta drama. Sometimes i hate her look she needs to gain weight, but this girl used to look like a train wreck and then she became a leading fashionista. I'm glad her new chic look minus the weight loss influenced a generation just like Kate, even if a stylist helped. By the way she got rid of her and maybe the new stylist will get rid of the anorexic look but keep the chic. On with the fashion...













Best Dressed TV starlet...
Rachel Bilson

OK so the OC is going down the tubes this season, I have pretty much stopped watching it and up until this year it was one of my favs. So Rachel really doesn't have that in her favour, but she did make her first film "Last Kiss", (which was pretty much a half ass version of "Garden State") at least it's a start. Oh then she and Adam aka Seth broke up, which is 50% why we loved this girl. So maybe 2006 wasn't that great for Rachel, but wait no it's a clean slate, she can now leave her very successful TV character and do even better movies, find a rebound guy until she realizes how hot Adam was and look she made my best dressed list. So 2006 wasn't that bad Rachel, throughout the year you managed to use all the hottest trends in a very classy way by still being youthful, cute , and fresh. I rooting for you Rachel to have an amazing 2007 with more great style, and maybe next year you'll be best dressed movie starlet..kudos














Worst Dressed:


Worst Dressed Hollywood "It" Girl is...
Lindsay Lohan

OK Lindsay I know your a shopholic who loves Chanel and all the great designers, even Karl Lagerfield said some nice things about you. However you can't be the face off target if you wanted too, Karl said you were to young to be endorsing Chanel. Whats the deal, an "it" girl like you should be turning down endorsements not begging for them. Well for starters you pissed off Anna Wintour, when you sat at her table for an event, and had to excuse yourself every 10 seconds to go to the washroom.
A little advice from a girl who has never met Anna and never will, DON'T piss off the queen Bee of Vogue, she'll never allow you in the realms of fashion. Second of all your clothing choices are a mix of trends that do nothing for fashion or for you. You keep picking random looks on your ever changing body, hair, skin colour, and choice of friends. I mean at any given moment your curvy then skinny, redheaded, a brunette, a blond, tanned to look like an orange, white and goth, freckled and innocent, hanging with Kate Moss (Whom you totally rip off in the worst way possible), and then Paris. Stop confusing yourself, pick a physical appearance, an image, some real friends, and most importantly bitch pick some better fashion.


















I'm Not all that mean, I think this girl really does love fashion and shes just young and in her i wanna be everything and everybody at once look.I think she can one day have that high fashion endorsement she wants and is a really talented actress, who is a natural at being a movie star. I give fashion credit to all, even on my worst dressed list. Props to you lindz..

UPDATE: I need to keep up with my fashion news but this Spring she's face of Miu Miu's Spring ad campaign... Maybe Miuccia will encourage Lindsay to give us more of these looks...



Young and chic


I hope to see more of this in 2007

Worst dressed Singer...
Janet Jackson

I know you lost the weight in like 6 seconds, and appearntly you did it the good old eating healthy excersising way. But show off your bod with fashion not with flashing ( and NOO i'm not referring to the Super Bowl 05, just check some of the pics below).
I also think your not all that into fashion and don't really care. As long as your fans still think your "nasty" and have a hot bod. well hot or not fashion is still a crime. Heres the evidence...








Shes attending a fashion show...come on Janet step up your fashion game...the 80's are OVER




What!!! Louis Vuitton couldn't even save her..here she is attending there show in Paris


This is her idea of casual airport dressing...

Ok so I'm now realizing I have been a bit of a bitch to miss jackson, but like I say i'm not that mean. Here is a more chic Janet (still needs major improving) and taste of where she was and where she is now..

Before:


After:








Worst Dressed Former Singer Turned Mom/Party Girl is...
Britney Spears

Alright Spears makes it wayyy to easy to be on this worst dressed list or any other one, thats all I have to say...












Better moments..still needs improving





Worst Dressed Singer/celebrity basher...
Pink

Pink I really understand your sick of the Paris Hilton's and Nicole Richie's of the world, and you really believe their idiocy isn't good for young girls. In fact you poked fun of them in your music video "stupid Girls", well we know there not Harvard material, in fact I don't even think they made it through high school. You have common sense on your side and haven't let the celebrity world get to your grounded personality. I'm sure you'll never drive the wrong way on a busy street, or forget the name of any product you have ever promoted. I also respect your take on not wearing fur and your stand against anything unethical against animals, even if that means giving up certain fashions. I think you have the right ideas to be an alternative role model for girls, but Pink if you don't dress the part, knowone is buying it. Keep the too cool for school attitude, but the goth clothes where from high school, now you can grow up and wear some real fashion. Instead of giving the look of taking some fabric ,shredding it, and sewing it to not fit your body, why don't give Stella Mcartney a call. Stella will not use fur or leather in any of her garments and is a huge supporter of animal rights. This way you can dress better by looking smart, ehtical, and sophisticated, while having people believe your not just a jelous b-list singer out to get other hollywood startlets.
















Some not soo bad Pink fashion...still please hire a stylist or fire the one youv'e got





Worst Dressed Socialite is...guesss who
Paris Hilton

Ok so christmas is comming up and this worst dressed list just wouldn't be without a little...HOE HOE HOE
















Look she can cover up and look somewhat classy





Ok so there's the list for the best and worst fashionistas, but guess what? The fun doesn't stop there, here is a few more categories for giggles and entertainment.

Least Improved/Victims of their own fashion is...
Mary-kate and Ashley Olsen

Ok in 2004 and 2005 there boho was all the rage and everyone was buying into the bag lady look, but this year it became soo over the top, both red carpet and casual fashion seemed desperate. Even 2005 we thought they looked insane but it was for inspiration and it became their own personal style. This year knowone was buying into it and there look is kinda all over the place. Please make a return in 2007 Mary-Kate and Ashley "O"

2004/2005:

















2006:

















The Music Star You'll Never See in Mom Jeans is..
Gwen Stefani

Before motherhood Gwen Stefani had the trendy, vibrant, flashy, cool music star look. During motherhood she had the trendy, vibrant, flashy, baby in arms, cool music star look. She never went the desperate Britney way of forgetting to brush her hair, wear shoes, cleanse her face, and take Paris Hilton's fashion advice. Somehow this women made her high fashions work with the everyday life of a mom pushing her stroller. No wonder Gwen is one of the only celebrities that actsually pulls of being a designer. Way to be a dotting mom Gwen, while still being super cool!
















The In Vogue award goes to...
The Devil Wears Prada



Sally Field (of Sex and the City fame) was the perfect stylist behind this movie, based on Anna Wintour and the inner workings of Vogue Magazine. She completely turned Meryl Streep into the pitch perfect Prada wearing style bitch that we all envy and want to be. The hair was amazing, the clothes were beyond chic, and Meryl's performance was off course no less then spectacular. The "Anna Wintour" character was matched with Anne Hathaway as her new assistant straight out of college size 4 style, who is soon transformed into a vogue "Plum Skyes" kind of a girl.
