Top Ten Fashion Icons

Today while shopping my friend and I decided to write a list of the top ten fashion icons in the music industry. I'm sure it could be revised, but this is what we came up with.

10.Rihanna




Honestly, im starting the think i shouldn't have placed her so low. Now that i look at some of these pictures, my opinion is shifting. Perhaps next year she will climb the ranks of icon-hood.


9.Lil' Mama




Lil' Mama effected a side of fashion that is so often forgotten about. applause!

8.Christina Aguilera



A house-hold name for sure. With some awesome costumes.

7.Pink




I do love P!nk. Shes got a look, that everyone knows and recognizes. and her stage costumes are iconic.

6.Bill Kaulitz





I don't know if Bill got this high on the list because of his amazing fashion sense, or because I am extremely bias; that is definitely the reason he got the most face time.
But I firmly believe he is an icon, if anything just for his hair. It has gone from the 'hedgehog' look when he was young, to the 'lions mane' as seen in the picture above, to his dreadlocks, and current Mohawk.
Still, he would not have been listed here if not for his style.
I think it is safe to say that a Bill Kaulitz fashion line would be something to watch out for.

5.Gwen Stefani




How can we forget Gwen Stefani? Definitely an icon in her own right, and lets make sure to give her credit for starting her own fashion lines.

4.Katy Perry




Katy Perry has an awesome balance of crazy, bizarre and classy and sophisticated. Well, I didn't include a picture of the 'classy/sophisticated' part, but just look it up. I especially love the 'pin-up girl' look she pulls off, oh so well.

3.Lady Gaga




Who can deny Lady Gaga as a fashion icon? She wore Kermit** the frog. Cant get better than that. As well as the red lace ensemble. Not only was her face covered, and the lace, almost completely see-through, but check out the hair piece.
She is 'out-there' in the very best way possible.

2.Michael Jackson



An iconic look. Never a doubt.

1.Madonna





By unanimous vote, Madonna took the lead. Probably due to being an icon for so long. I must admit, I find a huge majority of what she wears a little scary. Never the less, definitely iconic.

Tux Redux



I just had my very first taste of being a real fashionista!
I predicted a trend!

what an amazing feeling!

you see, i recently went birthday shopping, you know, another wonderful excuse to buy new clothes.

well, fir my new look, i decided to go for something new. I though, what would be cute with a little dress?

a tux jacket!

So, I bought my very first adorable black tux jacket.

how is this significant?

well, today i got this month's issue of Fashion' magazine. and what do i see? page 74, in big white letters "Tux Redux".

Turns our tux's are in.

Shoes Galore!

well, today I was going to post about the amazing shoes from this year's Paris Fashion Week.

But while I was looking for pictures i got a little...um...distracted.
So instead I am going to show you some amazing Betsey Johnson shoes I found during my procrastination.

and Voila!

Those would be my picnic shoes! They are beautiful, can't you imagine sitting under a gazebo with a frilly dress on, wearing these shoes? (yes, that is my version of a picnic)



SEXY SEXY SEXY! hehe
well, they are! Can't deny that!
I absolutely love the ribbon, perfect finishing touch!



These shoes remind me of Barbie, don't you love 'em?



And these will be my Valentines Day shoes. as well as my every other day shoes. HeHe

And last but not least.....

These shoes are better than life itself! especially the ones on the top left. I would take a bullet for those!

well, that's all! enjoy!

Amazing Prints (part 1)

Today I start my segment of "Amazing Prints" (whether or not there will ever be a part two is undecided)

Here is my first example, I found it in 'fashion' the november issue. I saw it and I fell in LOVE!

You guys dont know how much I want to wear this dress!



(although I must admit, it looks better on a model, than in this picture)

Anyways, check out this print, it starts as houndstooth then transforms into beautiful birds!

I imediattely though of this Escher drawing, whether that was the original intention or not is debatable.



See the resemblace? Amazing! I love it!

well, thats all for today!

Cannon Ball?

Well, I am here to re-start my poor, abandoned blog. i mean, its been just over a month since my last post!

luckily I found something I just needed to see to start the ball rolling! (again)

This beautiful dress from Viktor & Rolf spring collection from Paris fashion week.



Is that not amazing?
Of course this isn't the best picture, as you only see one of the "cannon ball" holes.

There are actually three, another midway down the left of the skirt, and one at the very bottom on the right.

though I'm wondering: how did they get it to keep perfect shape after cutting giant holes in it?

I'm sure there is some wiring or something, but still AMAZING!
not to mention how beautiful the gathering on the top is!

yup this is amazing! no doubt about it.

from now on, EVERYONE should fire cannon balls through their skirts...or not. :)

Day 22--Final Product

well, It's Day 22, tomorrow is the first day back.

After long days of research, I has finally come to my last post.

And I only missed what...10 posts? pretty good! huh? huh?

fine. be that way.

Anyways, I do believe I have come to a conclusion.

I was right in my first post. pink bubble dress and leather jacket are still the best combo.

until I remembered it's gonna be warm tomorrow. So scratch the leather jacket.

Now re-imagine.

Pink bubble dress on top of grey plaid skinny jeans and band t-shirt, with peter pan boots,and statement bangles.

Wow, I just summed up like 10 posts all in one outfit.

I LOVE this blog!

well, that is all for today, but I will be back to plan my winter wardrobe. thanks for tuning in!

Au Revoir!!

Day 15-- Print/Skinny Jeans

Today's topic is about a particular article of clothing which has plagued my dreams for weeks.

Print/Skinny Jeans.



I say both because, well, both terrify me.

I'm not saying they are ugly, on the contrary, I think they are BEAUTIFUL! magnificent!....if you are tall and thin, with no hips whatsoever.

Which as I have already pointed out, is not me. I have even tried on a few pairs of skinny jeans. Of course, Most of the time they wouldn't fit over my thighs.

And yet, with some help from my mom, I managed to haul a pair of dark purple plaid skinny jeans into the change room. I tried them on with a long smock style plaid blue top. And the result was amazing!

Not only did I look thinner, I even looked taller! And the top went past my hips, assuring the jeans didn't make them look huge.(which unfortunately they do without the smock top)

Needless to say I bought 2 pairs (in purple and grey) and am proudly wearing them right now.

Viva Les Skinny Jeans ;)*
