Shoes: The Latest Fashion Accessory

Shoes are, by far, one of the most important fashion accessories in your closet. The right pair of shoes can set the tone for the entire look, or ruin it if you are not careful. As you consider how you should be using shoes in this way, take a look at how what the celebrities are wearing. Celebrities are often one of the best ways to know what is happening in the fashion world.

You may love the look of Camilla Belle in her Gucci sandals. You may want to copy Kylie Minogue or Natasha Henstridge wearing Manolo Blahnik instead. No matter which celebrity is your favorite, chances are good you can find a more affordable shoe for your outfit or look that’s just as great looking.

You may not have the budget for those high-priced fashion accessories, but you can spice up your look with these tips.

Go with an off-brand, but not a knock-off. A knock-off misrepresents itself as the real deal, with a fake logo. An off-brand, on the other hand, may have very similar features and styles, but doesn’t promise to be an original.
Know where to get the best fashion accessories without a high price tag. Shop Toms Shoes, for example, for the company’s line of low-price, but high-fashion shoes.
Shop around for the best deals. The Internet is by far the best place to find the most options, especially if you want to find something a celebrity is wearing.

Think about your shoe options right now. If they do not compare to what the celebrities are wearing, now is the time to find a few great deals. Luckily, you can find some outstanding shoes that work very well as an accessory to your look. In some cases, the shoe is even more important than the clothing.

Basketball Wives Gossip

Basketball Wives is a VH1 reality TV show. Despite its name, there are very few wives of basketball players on the show. The aim of this show is to give viewers a glimpse into the life of women who have been involved with NBA players. By doing this, it gives these relatively unknown women celebrity status.

The show is full of drama, gossip, catfights and partying. In reality you don’t get much gossip on NBA players except that the cheat. All of the women on the show have been cheated on and they have no problem being vocal about it.

Season two of the show through viewers for a loop. The newest cast mate Tami Roman had conflicts with nearly everyone on the show. Tami was married to former NBA star Kenny Anderson. Her conflicts were due to the fact that she likes to drink but she gets aggressive after doing so; which she admitted.

The twist in the plot came in the season finale when Tami and cast mate Evelyn Lozada, who was formerly engaged to ex-NBA star Antoine Walker, got into an altercation. Viewers had been waiting all season for this because the previews for the fight scene were running long before the season began to air.

The big secret was the while Tami was married to Kenny, Evelyn and Kenny had an affair that lasted six months. This was quite a surprise to Tami because while she knew that Kenny cheated on her, she did not expect to hear that from someone she considered a friend. Yet it appeared that Tami was more hurt than angry at the news. This hurt turned to rage when Evelyn became very nonchalant about it and told Tami that she didn’t matter. Tami then tried to attack Evelyn. She was able to get in one swipe to her head before security stepped in.

Is Michael Jackson Alive?

Michael Jackson passed away on June 25^th 2009. It doesn’t matter if you loved him or hated him- it’s hard to deny that he had an impact on society and that music will be forever changed because of him.

Now that he is dead and gone you would think that the gossip about him would fizzle, but it hasn’t. The latest Michael Jackson gossip is that he is not dead, but alive. This should not surprise anyone that devout fans believe this. When someone passes away, it can be hard to accept and you need something to cling onto. Gossiping about a celebrity still being alive is not new. When the rapper Tupac died in 1996 there were rumors that he faked his death. Likewise, people have been saying Elvis is still alive since he died in 1977.

Believers of this theory say that the body found was not his, and instead it was an impersonator and one day he will come back and surprise us all. Some say Michael Jackson went into hiding because he felt as if someone were trying to kill him. Others say Michael Jackson went into hiding so that he could finally have peace.

Some may wonder why in the world anyone would believe such a thing. The first reason is that Michael Jackson was known to pull crazy stunts. The second reason is that there is a news video that shows Michael Jackson’s body being flown to the coroner in a helicopter. At one point in the video you can see the body bag, and it appears that the bag moves into an upwards position. However the camera angle happens to be changing at this exact moment so what people are seeing is most likely an optical illusion.

Celebrities Expecting in 2011

Babies bring such joy to the world and welcoming babies can be an exciting time for many people. In 2011, many celebrities will welcome new bundles of joy. Some are more private preferring to keep the details to themselves. So good luck finding out the due date or gender, while others are happy to share as many details that are available. Whether they choose to share details or not, bringing a new life into this world is always a cause for celebration.

Victoria Beckham, wife of soccer sensation David Beckham is expecting the couples fourth child. The pair have not decided whether or not they will learn the gender.

On the other hand, singer-songwriter Dido can’t wait to find out the sex of her upcoming bundle, but she and her husband have not announced it yet.

Actress Kate Hudson is expecting her second child in July. She currently has a son who is 7 years old.

Tia Mowry, one half of the duo most known for the sitcom Sister, Sister is expecting her first child in July. She and her husband Cory Hardict are excited about the new baby boy.

Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren are also expecting a new bundle later on this year. The couple currently has a 2 ½ year old daughter named Honor Marie.

Boxer Laila Ali, daughter of legendary boxer Mohammad Ali is expecting her second child with her husband Curtis Conway. The couple currently has a 2 ½ year old son named C.J. The couples second child will be a girl named Sydney.

The Old Spice Guy Shares His Type

Isaiah Mustafa will probably always be known as the Old Spice Guy. You’ve seen the commercials. He prances around with no shirt on showing off his chiseled abs and making the ladies swoon. Some of the scenes are completely ridiculous but he’s really brought the Old Spice brand back to life.

The commercials are obviously geared towards women but the product is for men so the strategy may seem a bit confusing. Wouldn’t it make sense to have a commercial that makes men want to buy Old Spice? Maybe not. Women are the ones who do most of the shopping and if they are swooning over the Old Spice guy, maybe they’ll remember that when they go to the store and see Old Spice. If the man in their life has a special occasion coming up, maybe she’ll think “I’ll get him some Old Spice so he can be like that guy on TV.”

Many women may be wondering what type of lady would catch this gentleman’s eye. Well, Mustafa told US Magazine that he likes brunettes, red-heads, and blondes. He is currently dating Kathy Griffin. Well, they are dating but they are telling everyone they are just friends- you know how it goes in Hollywood. Whatever you want to call it, these two have been spending lots of time together. In case you are wondering, she is 50 and he is 37. Mustafa was previously seeing Neve Campbell or maybe they were just friends but they were spotted together a lot back in December of 2010.

Orange Lips Are In!

Orange lips are in! Don’t worry, you read that right. Although some people probably think that orange lips will look hideous, as though you just consumed food laden with poor quality orange colorant, the fact is that runways as well as red carpets have been fun of people sorting orange and peach summer shades. While such a shade would look great when a person is dressed for an award function or is ready to walk the ramp, one wonders whether orange can actually be worn on a day to day basis. Here are a few tips on how you can best cope with this trend!

1. Instead of using an all out lipstick, you should try using a lip balm or stain. Most cosmetic companies offer a range of colors in the form of comfortable glosses and balms. Try on some of these balms as they give a more toned down and natural look instead of the highly glamorous look that simply can’t be worn to work!

2. When someone says ‘Orange’ most people simply imagine the color of the fruit! However, orange comes in a huge variety of hues and shades so you have the freedom to pick one that best suits you. You could chose a soft coral shade for everyday wear or go for a more glamorous shade with hues of red for events and functions.

3. You could also choose to walk the thin line between orange and pink. Peach is often a good color replacement for orange for those people whose skin tone is pale. The color is also not too vibrant and can be easily carried off in formal as well as casual settings. Wearing a glossy shade will enhance the fullness of your lips while providing a more comfortable wear during summers.

4. Always remember that it isn’t necessary for you follow every fashion trend that emerges for a given season. There are several fashion trends prevalent during each season so if you feel that orange isn’t the color for you than simply don’t wear it and go for a more suitable color.

Gathering Inspiration from Celebrity Engagement Rings

Tabloids, photographs, and gossip – - they not only provide entertainment, but inspire us as well. When it comes to wedding rings, this is especially true whether marriage is in the future or we just want to get a look at the latest stunning ring a celebrity is wearing. The Internet provides a platform we can use to view these exquisite, expensive celebrity rings, or even buy one of our own at a site like engagement.jrdunn.com.

Recent celebrity engagements such as Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow, Seal and Heidi Klum, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, and Ben Gibbard and Zooey Deschanel have given us a glimpse into the wide range of styles now available for wedding rings. From simple square diamonds to multiple stones and multiple bands with different colors, the designs are varied such that you can choose a ring based on your own personal style, or have one designed just for you.

Rebecca Romijn, for example, received an engagement ring with a six-carat yellow diamond with pink and blue bands that make up the ring, and Scarlett Johansson’s ring has a yellow gold intertwined band with a solitaire diamond. These varied styles inspire us and even when we look at consumer sites like engagement.jrdunn.com, there are styles inspired by celebrity engagement rings as well as other unique styles to choose from.

Multiple bands, colored diamonds, and shimmering metal beckon many a leading lady, and some can be back-breaking expensive, but depending on your budget, there are others that may not be as pricey as you might think. Metals like platinum add individual flavor to such rings, and shopping around can begin by considering your favorite celebrity’s engagement ring. You can still be satisfied even if you’re not rich and famous like Khloe Kardashian or Katherine Heigle; wedding rings are based on personal taste and deep, personal meaning.

Fashion Disaster Saviors

High fashion can be high maintenance in more than one way. Sometimes your favorite fashion item is not made to be durable no matter how expensive it was! Rips, tears, smudges and so on can be a major embarrassment when they ruin your ensemble during a party filled with people who know their fashion. So what do you do when disaster strikes? Here are four tips that can prove be saviors in several disastrous situations:

1. Some of the hottest and most fashionable garments are also extremely fragile and can easily get you into a sticky spot if you are not careful enough! One product that can rescue you during a wardrobe malfunction situation is a double stick designer tape! Carry this little miracle of an invention with you when you are attending a high fashion bash. It provides a firm hold on rips and tears without being visible to beholders.

2. Tights are one of the trendiest apparel this season and the tighter the tights, the hotter the look! However, there is always the danger of tight ripping or fraying, especially ones made of fragile material that is not elastic enough. On days that you wear such tights, carry a bottle of clear nail polish and dab some on the hole or rip in your tights. Once its dried, the sheer polish hold the garment long enough for you to finish your engagement and its invisible too!

3. Sometimes people get over zealous when they find a shoe that they ‘just have to own’ and end up buying shoes that don’t really fit well. It could also be that your foot has swollen up for some reason and you can’t put those pretty shoes on! Just apply some baby powder on your feet as well as the inside of your shoe and you will easily be able to slip your foot in!

4. Baby wipes may be known for their mildness but they are also very effective in removing fresh make up and deodorant stains from clothes as well cleaning scuffs from shoes!

Tumblr, a favorite blogging platform of millions is taking a more active roll during New York’s Fashion Week, which runs next month from February 9-17. For the first time ever, Tumblr, the platform that allows users—nearly thirteen million of them—post pictures, quotes, videos, and other text entries is sending a team of more than twenty bloggers to cover the shows and events during one of the world’s most popular fashion events.

Since the birth of the supposed microblogging platform—many beg to differ on that point—just a few short years ago (2007), has wanted to root itself into the fashion industry around the world. The renowned events of next month will certainly help them do so. Tumblr isn’t just planning to “be there.” It’s founders and President have taken steps to ensure so much more than that.

Richard Tong, who founded Weardrobe—a site that lets users showcase what they’re wearing, as well as other outfits they own, which is now owned by the Google moguls—was recently named fashion director at Tumblr. Tong’s first, and what arguably could be considered his biggest project this year, is sending a vast team of over twenty bloggers to cover the ins and outs of New York’s Fashion Week.

Tong isn’t divulging how he chose the lucky bloggers that he’ll be sending, but the team includes John Januzzi from Textbook, Jessica Quirk from What I Wore, and Rebecca Rowe from The Clothes Horse, and that’s only a few of them. Tong has said that the designers featured at Fashion Week are very accepting of his team of bloggers and are looking forward to having them around.

What could be better than spending one of the highest-touted fashion weeks on Earth with nearly everyone in the fashion industry? It’s all FREE! Tumblr is picking up the tab for everything from airfare and hotel reservations to meals and invitations to all runway shows.

Jealous yet?
