creative gala gowns for the red carpet

Since I follow the red carpet fashion trends, I have noticed most celebrities have conformed to a uniform look just so they could pass the fashion police critique.  While that is acceptable, it seems they have compromised a sliver of their bold and daring creative side, at least in my opinion.

I hope this year is a little different and we can actually see a little bit of daring and unique fashion like the ones I have picked out below.

how do women choose hair and makeup products?

I often wonder how women choose their hair and makeup products? I mean I circle department stores and small chain stores to study women’s reactions while testing new products or reading the back of one they have heard about and even exchanging opinions at the counter with those who have tried it before, but really what makes a woman finally settle on a product and stick to it, thinking it is the best thing for them?

For example: I have used just about every makeup out there and tend to change the brand only when I sense the ingredients, which have been changed to “new and improved”, are no longer working for my face.

As for hair products, I have also tried just about every shampoo and hair color out there based on of course what my hair needs are during different seasons throughout the year, as well as the quality my hair has become over the years. One thing, I have found, so far is, although I veer on occasion to try something different, eventually  I go right back to L’OREAL hair care products.  It’s worked for my hair type (Wavy, thick hair), time and time again, no matter how much they have changed or improved their product. My favorite now is the L’OREAL  Sulfate free hair care products and L’OREAL Excellence Creme hair color. Together, they make my hair feel and look ten years younger.

I am curious and would love to hear opinions from anyone on this subject matter. So please feel free to give us your input via the comments link.

fashion cut and paste

I stumbled upon these fashion photos here and I have to say, although I have an open mind to most anything suggested fashionably, I do have a problem understanding what the inspiration behind these cut and paste ensembles are?

fashion sense: suited gentleman

A while back I had mentioned how I miss seeing men in suits,  since San Francisco has adopted  mostly casual work wear, every day of the week.  Well, here are some of my recent favorites:

Patriotic Ensemble

I am not one to dress symbolically, but on occasion will throw in accessories which are a subtle reminder of a national celebration. Happy 4th of July to all who celebrate the holiday.

fashionable lace, sequence and tulle

Just wanted to share my admiration for fashionable lace, sequence and tulle gowns from here:

fashion: bringing the sexy back

I adore gowns with  open backs, especially ones that make a statement. I think it is the best option for small breasted women and those who are not so voluptuous  all around. The  fun thing about it is that some women over 40 can actually support the look, providing that it is tastefully done.

Check out some picks from  here:

just a second i am having a fashion designer moment

One of the best thing that could happen to a woman is the fact, she either lives in a metropolitan city or has access to it within a 30mile radius.

I happen to be very fortunate in that I live in San Francisco and although our fashion sense isn’t anything to brag too much about (don’t hate me locals) I love walking through union square to window shop and occasionally treat myself to some of my favorite fashion designers. Just thought I’d share that with you :)
