Kristen's New Hair

Kristen Stewart arrived at The Late Show with David Letterman looking slightly different. She changed her hair! It has been very dark for some time now, making this red hue very refreshing and perfect for the summer. I'm loving this color so much I wish I had it...*sigh*.


What do you think of Kristen's new hair color?

Fashion Blogger of the Week

This week we're featuring one of my daily reads...my favorite blog from Hawaii--- elisharon. Sharon from elisharon is always showing us her fabulous style, delicious looking local food, and tons of DIY.


Why did you start blogging?
I couldn't answer this question on my own, because I forgot! I asked a couple friends and they answered: “I want. I need. I have”. Ha ha! Then it all came back to me. I wanted a blog that showed the things I wanted, NEEDED.. and then purchased. I guess that theme still lingers, but my blog is also so much more than that now. I wouldn't call it a “fashion blog”… but more of a personal/lifestyle blog. I blog about things I love, like, hate, want to try, and everything under the big sunny skies of Maui! I didn't think my blog would really take off the way it has. I've connected with a lot of amazing people. Looking forward to where this year will take me and my little blog. :)

How would you describe your personal style?
I don’t like to define my personal style, because it’s always changing. I love trying anything and everything. If it works on me, then great. If not, I'll ditch it, then I move on. I like experimenting with fashion. It’s one of the best ways of self expression. And for those that know me in “real life”, I truly do love expressing myself! Well, I guess if I did have to describe my style, I’d sum it up with one word; Eclectic.

If you could raid anyone's closet, who would it be and why?
Carrie Bradshaw. Talk about Eclecticism, she was beaming with it! I love that. How amazing would it be to own all those designer duds she sported throughout the series!? I also love and will always love her closet! AMAZING!

Who would you love to give a wardrobe makeover?
No one really. Like I said earlier… fashion is about self-expression, so to each his/her own. Ooooo wait… I actually do have someone in mind. It would have to be one of my best friends, Wendy. I’m sure if given the opportunity, she’d love to get a wardrobe makeover too. Wendy doesn’t have “bad style”. She’s a little hottie when she gets dolled up, but she’s also a busy mom of two and fashion/style is probably one of the last things on her mind. Wendy once told me that when she was in high school she was Wet Seal's “Number ONE shopper”. Hee hee.

If you could give one fashion tip to anyone, what would it be?
Embrace your individual style and although it’s always fun to follow trends, don’t follow them blindly. Have fun with fashion and don't take it too seriously.


and now time for some fun QUICK FIRE QUESTIONS---

gold or silver?
Silver.

heels or flats?
Heels. The higher, the better!

vintage or DIY?
DIY

front row or backstage?
Backstage.

lipstick or lipgloss?
Gloss.

Lookin' Fab

Salma Hayek Pinault looked so stunning when she attended the NYC premiere of her new movie, Grown Ups. Salma was wearing Yves Saint Laurent from head to toe. What do you think of this retro pin-up look? Very Betty Boop don't you think? Personally, I just love how she made a very simple white dress so stunning just by adding some red accents.

Fashion Blogger of the Week

This week Snapshot Fashion is featuring a very stylish female from Australia, Le Blog de Sushi. I love peering inside her closet...her wardrobe is truely amazing and inspiring.


Why did you start blogging?
I had been uploading a few outfit photo on Chictopia and Livejournal but found these kind of communities didn't give me enough freedom. What I really wanted was my own blog where I could set out everything exactly to my liking and write about other things as well, such as what was inspiring me, shopping, outings and projects I have been working on.

How would you describe your personal style?
Feminine, vintage-inspired and whimsical.

If you could raid anyone's closet, who would it be and why?
It would be the Cherry Blossom Girl's wardrobe. She has such beautiful, pretty clothing and her shoes and bags are to die for.

Who would you love to give a wardrobe makeover?
My brother!

If you could give one fashion tip to anyone, what would it be?
Wear things that suit your shape and colouring.

QUICK FIRE QUESTIONS---

front row or backstage?

Twilight Women in Vanity Fair

I have a confession to make. I have never read any of the Twilight books...nor have I seen any of the films. And I don't plan on it. I really hope the die-hard fans don't hate me for saying that. I think maybe I'm just too old for it, and the whole vampire craze just isn't really my thing.

But I did come across a beautiful photo shoot of some of the women in the movie. I love the retro vibe this shoot has (don't you just adore their hair?!?!).


To see the rest of the photos from this shoot click here.

The Golden Girls

The women of Hollywood have been spotted wearing a lot of gold lately. For instance this week Jennifer Lopez showed up at a benefit concert for the Apollo Theater in this lovely Gianfranco Ferre dress. JLo wasn't the only one rockin' metallic this week...actress Jada Pinkett Smith wore this leather frock from Rafael Cennamo to the Los Angeles premiere of The Karate Kid.

Which gold dress do you love more?





What do you think of wearing gold pieces? Do you have any gold colored clothing in your closet?

Are You On Looklet?

I have been on Looklet for some time now...living out my styling dreams. Lately I have been obsessing over this site. Whenever I have time to kill you know I will be styling away on there. It's just so much fun!


I was just wondering if any of my readers are on Looklet? If so please let me know so I can check out your pages. To follow my page click here.

Pick of the Day

This Mock Wrap Shapely Top from the Love 21 collection at Forever 21 is perfect for the summer. Not only is it acceptable for the workplace, but it could easily been worn at night or as a casual day look. This top is super light and comfortable since it is a cotton/silk blend. 


What do you think of it? How would you style it?

Fashion Blogger of the Week

This week's fashion blogger is someone that I have been following for some time now. She is a beautiful model and very talented photographer....her name is Zanita. She's always wearing the most interesting outfits, photographing her fellow model friends, and keeping us up to date with images from her modeling career.


Why did you start blogging?
Out of boredom really, and the suggestion of a friend who introduced me to other blogs. Seemed like the perfect hobby for me, cataloguing my ideas about fashion.

How would you describe your personal style?
At the moment all I want to wear is oversized casual pieces and plenty of man-style, shirts and mens jeans, with plimsoles.

If you could raid anyone's closet, who would it be and why?
Chloe Sevigny, her style is so quirky, it shows personality. I love her range for Opening Ceremony.

Who would you love to give a wardrobe makeover?
Rihanna or Christina Aguilera. They are so hit and miss, Rihanna over accessorizes constantly and Christina wears sooooo much make-up. Its a trashy result.

If you could give one fashoin tip to anyone, what would it be?
Don't try to emulate anyone else, be creative in your own way.



and now time for quick fire---

gold or silver?
Silver

heels or flats?
Flats (I'm 180cm)

vintage or DIY?
Vintage

front row or backstage?
Front row please!

lipstick or lipgloss?
Neither - lipstain!


Make sure you stop on over to visit Zanita's site. You will adore her!

Dita in BlackBook

Dita Von Teese recently did a photoshoot for BlackBook Magazine and I loved it so much that I wanted to make sure you all saw it! The over the top outfits brought these photos to a whole new level.



What do you think of Dita's hair here? Totally different than her usual look...but I think it works very well for the shoot!

To see all of the photos please click here. Do you have a favorite photo of her in this shoot? Mine are the three shown above.

Lookin' Fab

I'm at a loss for words. This Marchesa dress looks SO STUNNING on Emmy Rossum, it's like she was born to wear it. Can we just say, VA-VA-VA-VOOM?!?! The detailed beading and feathery hem add something special to what would be a rather simple white dress.

What do you think of Emmy's dress???
