Death of the Watch?

As cellphones become more fashionable and functional, do we never need a watch anymore? All of the features that a watch had was easily incorporated into the cellphone years ago and now the watch has become nothing more than a fashion statement. So it makes me wonder when will it stop being a fashion statement and start becoming a heavy chunk of metal that you wear on your wrist. I haven’t worn a watch in at least 4 years and I doubt that I ever will again. I think that is pretty much true for everyone in my generations and I think that we are only a few years away for the watch to go the way of the class ring and French cut shirt.

Cute Geek Wedding Rings

I admit that i would never wear these, but these are pretty cute wedding ring ideas for those men and women of the world that fashion themselves experts of the computing world (or they just like computers). One is the female and the other is the male end of the internet cord you use for high-speed interenet connections. Very clever indeed, but I don't know if anyone would actually tie the knot with those two rings...

Fashionable Flat Ware and Kitchen Apron Wear

Well it's not quite silverware, but it might as well be. It is time to take the fashion from the clothes to the kitchen with some hot new tableware and dishes. I think this is a great way to make sure that fashion enters every facet of your life and not just the clothes you wear. Check out this fashionable set of artistic plates of the fashionable apron below. Both are great additions to your kitchen to make you hot and haute at the same time.

Rocker Chicks

Rihanna is doing it, Audrina (the Hills) is doing it, and so is everyone else. I think it is time to adopt the Rocker chick style. What i really like about this style that is different from the past rocker chick styles is that it is still feminine and curvy, it just has a lot more black and leather. To me, rocker chicks always looks like boys with baggy clothes and greasy hair. But now they are wearing tight black jeans and fitted leather jackets that define them as strong and amazing compared to their male frumpy counterparts. I think the rebirth of rocker chick is going to spread through the nation and black is going to become the color that blankets the country this country, not the white of snow.

Best Places for wedding photos

If you are trying to do an entire wedding and all the planning that goes around it the last thing you want to be thinking about is the backdrop of your after-wedding photos. Of course they are going to be outside, but where? Well if you're in the DC area, I think some of the great places within the national mall can create a historic and fun backdrop for most of your photos. Why not try the Lincoln memorial, or maybe the reflection pod at the national monument? These are some great places to take your shots.




For those that don't live in the DC area just try something outdoors and with trees (to block other people and cars). And for god sakes be CASUAL! The more casual you look in your photos the more happy you will look and that is the most important thing for the day after a wedding

Virtual Mirrors

Using a flat panel TV, camera and some really cool software the Fraunhofer Institute has been able to create a mirror that allows a person to see what clothes look like on them without even having to change. Here is how it works:

"The set up consists of a flat panel display with touch screen, a camera mounted above it and lighting to evenly illuminate users. They stand in front of the display wearing a green T-shirt, the camera captures their image and then a software algorithm replaces the green with whatever style the users choose. That includes different colors, logos and textures."

What is great about this is I can try on a lot more clothes in the morning than my usual 1-2 outfits. What would be even cooler is if it had recommendations based on weather and other things going on in the world so that it could pre-pick outfits for me that would work really well for the day. Oh well, we can have that later one...

Car Challenge on Project Runway

I really love the car challenge for Project Runway because I constantly sit in my car and wonder what kind of clothes I could make out of it if I had the design eye that these people have. I don't of course so that is why I critique instead of design :) . Anyway, I really love what came out of that challenge in season 5 because they are much more fashion forward than they have been in the past. This year they have been much more edgy and exciting which is always awesome. I honestly don't see anyone this time that is as strong as Christian was last season so it is anyone's game at this point.

Whiten Teeth - Safely

Whitening your teeth doesn't have to be a procedure that you need to go the hospital for, it can be done at home with some simple household items that are safe for your environment and most importantly safe for your body. Try this one:



mix on small plate:
1 tsp baking soda
dash of salt
then add a few drops of white vinegar, which will foam. Brush onto your teeth, then brush with toothpaste normally once finished.


It's easy, you probably have all the ingredients at home and most of all it is safe. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Hathaway is Chic

Just look at this side-by-side comparison of Anne Hathaway and a runway model wearing the latest trend. Notice anything? Anne is pulling off the dress just as well as the model! That is pretty impressive for someone that is also an actress and college grad. I have noticed a lot of this lately, that Anne has been wearing more and more Chic designer clothing and just looking incredible in it. Usually I don't comment on celebrity gossip, but if this is her way of getting over her cheater of an EX then I am impressed. Instead of hiding from the world she has decided to spread her wings and show him, and all the other men out there, what they are missing by not being with this haute woman (that has two meanings for those that are a little slower). Anyway, Anne keep it up! We are all amazed and happy to see you represent fashion for the Hollywood scene - you do it very well!

BRush your Hair!

It may seem absurd to brush your hair 100 times a night, but if you can do it! All those tangles pulled out of your hair brings a natural luster to it that you just can't get with any type of beauty treatment. Also the body of the hair becomes much nicer and if you've got a great cut then it will really show off your face more and more. I brush my hair about 25 times each night because that is all that I can stand, but trust me, I wish I did it more. The more the better. Oh, and do yourself a favor, don't use a walmart brush or anything like that. Go to a Salon and get a good brush, it will last a long time and it will be so much nicer going through your hair than something that was recycled from plastic grocery bags.
