Scary makeover: Tara Reid

Tue, 18 Dec 2007 15:25:17 GMT

These recent pictures of Tara Reid in a bikini (right) surfaced on the web this week and makes me wonder if the teen starlet has caught the "skinny bug" and went too far... Look at her bikini photo (left) from just few months ago. She looked skinny back then, but had a healthy glow. I hope Tara won't go as far as anorexia, but I feel she is not too far from there. The scary part is that this wee... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 17:43:37 GMT

Carrie Underwood couldn't look more stunning on the latest red carpet for "Enchanted" movie premiere. The sophisticated fashion sense she recently channels amazes me every time.

When friendship hurts your career...

Fri, 26 Oct 2007 19:34:54 GMT

This is the classic case of a friendship that's going to ruin Jennifer Hudson career, or at least her image... Andre Leon Talley (Editor-at-Large for Vogue!!) seem to advise her a lot on the personal style, and the young actress doesn't learn from past mistakes. She didn't fire him after the famous Oscar fiasco, and he continues to help her make the wrong red carpet choices. Jennifer is a young s... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

J.LO shows hot maternity fashion

Wed, 24 Oct 2007 15:25:50 GMT

Jennifer Lopez knows thing or two about style, that's for sure. These days, when she is touring with her show and trying to hide the baby bump all at the same time, the styling issue could not be more important. I have to say I've never seen a pregnant woman looking better. The way she finds cuts and fabrics to make her bump look natural and part of the whole look, is just amazing. Instead of goin...

Forever21 Copies Kate Moss Dress

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 18:23:05 GMT

Didn’t we talk about this already? The way I see it, copies are just like fake Prada bags sold in a street corner. Especially today, top designers are working with familiar brands to make their creations much more affordable.
I guess Forever21 are just not seeing it the same way, they copied a Kate Moss’ halter dress from her Topshop collection.
They didn’t even try to make it a bit different ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Handbags and luggage will cost between $350-850, which is very affordable compared to the usual Chanel prices.
