Time for a new do


We tend to think that celebrities change their style constantly. They have a lot of money, a lot of stylists, and a lot of clothes. They have free reign to do, wear, and look however they want. But if you think about it...I mean, REALLY think about it, they generally don't change that much. The most drastic thing they do is lose weight, get some Botox, or chop their hair real short.

Well this week, not one, but TWO big-time celebrities got new do's.

Exhibit A: Mary-Kate Olsen with bright blonde (no longer brunette), curly locks at the Metropolitan Opera's 125th Anniversary Gala.


Exhibit B: Fergie with long, straight, chocolate hair. A COMPLETE 180 from the good old, unmarried Fergie we used to know and love.
That's all for now.
Stay classy and fab!

I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world...

Happy birthday, Barbie!

Barbie is the same age as Madonna! What divas were born in 1959. That's right. Barbie's now 50 years old, and to honor that, several designers have designed specific Barbie-inspired clothes for New York's fashion week.Designers include Michael Kors, Vera Wang, and Catherine Malandrino.

Stay classy and fab (like Barbie),

Married models!


So, the past few weeks have been a time for men all over the world to be sad because two extraordinarily beautiful women are now officially off the market. That's right, boys.

Victoria's Secret supermodels Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima both tied the knot, with NFL star, Tom Brady and NBA star, Marko Jaric respectively.


Adriana Lima saved her big wedding for the summer, opting for a small one on Valentine's Day in Jackson City, Wyoming. Meanwhile, Gisele DID IT UP RIGHT. Wearing everything Dolce & Gabbana, she and Brady married at dusk in Santa Monica, California. Well of course she wore Dolce. She already models for them and has developed her own scent with them, called "The One." (See TV ad below.)



So which model is next? My guess is Miranda Kerr to Orlando Bloom. The rumors are starting, so we'll see how that goes!

In the meantime,
stay classy and fab!

Another celeb clothesline....brace yourself

CHARLIE SHEEN.Really? Okay, so I kind of understand when celebrities start their own fashion lines. After all, these are very fashionable people who are generally dressed by a stylist, but have probably picked up some stuff here and there, so you can't really knock them for trying. But Charlie Sheen? He's not particularly fashionable. Jennifer Lopez, fine. Justin Timberlake, fine. And their lines are successful because they always look good and people want to look good like them. But do people really say they aspire to look and dress like Charlie Sheen? I don't think so...

Anyway, his line is called DaVinci Collection by Charlie Sheen and it's in association with Rock & Roll Religion. Consider yourself warned.

Stay classy and fab,

The Big Fashionable Apple

Normally Friday the 13th is a day of bad luck. And this year it was followed by what could be one of the worst holidays of the year, Valentine's Day. So New York, The Big Apple, decided to do what it could to make this a happy weekend. And so started New York Fashion Week.

The first show, The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection 2009, started at 10am on
Friday with a ton of fabulously red-dressed stars. Hilary, Duff, Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth, Amanda Bynes, and even Katie Couric walked and worked that runway.

Valentine's Day featured Lacoste and the Barbie Runway Show. And yesterday was jam-packed, showing Lela Rose, Herve Leger by Max Azria, Calvin Klein's Men Collection, Diane von Furstenberg, and Miss Sixty. Today is Carolina Herrera, Jill Stuart, Tracy Reese, Donna Karan, finally ending with Justin Timberlake's clothing line William Rast. The week gets better and better with tons of fabulous designers. And being that it is New York and one of the biggest and best weeks for fashion throughout the whole year, I will continue to keep you posted and updated on the new looks for the Fall 2009 season.

Stay classy and fab,

And the cover goes to....


You're looking at the new cover model for 2009's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue: Israeli supermodel (and Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend) Bar Rafaeli. She first appeared in the widely read issue in 2007 as the first Israeli model to make it into the magazine.

This year marks 45 years of the famous Swimsuit Issue, which is credited with popularizing the bikini. Thanks, SI!

The issue will be out in mid-February, and the official announcement of Bar Rafaeli's cover will be this week on The Late Show with David Letterman.

Congrats, Bar!
Stay classy and fab!
