Of course, there will be additions, probably in the form of Gorgeous flowers fall, and it has not even begun to observer shoes, bags and belts. But with these bases, the foundations of his wardrobe will fall into place. To make sure it is following the developments, Girlawhirl checks with its shops cheat sheet, a visual summary of the fall trends runway 08.

First Look At Fall Fashion

Girlawhirl does not want to think again, but this is inevitable, autumn is coming soon, and she began to think about his wardrobe. This year more than ever, making intelligent way - and stores - will be key decisions. It is not necessary to shortchange her retirement savings all look good…

It is also trying to keep it real in the fall - which means it has no intention of going above. A Saturday morning spent examining what works yet - and only - from last fall can save time and money in the long term. In this way, it may be safer to focus on new plays that truly update its look, rather than duplicate what is already in his wardrobe. Some pieces she is seeking include:

A high-waisted trousers, with an almost sculptural form through the hip and a cut leg in charcoal gray.

A thin cigarette pants: perfectly proportioned to knock on the ankle bones in black, brown or navy.

A swingy skirt: Slim in size and hip and then broke graceful enough to give the lady look like she saw at the top and bottom so many runways. In any color will be great here - including "new neutral" as green, burgundy and camel - and it is certain that it will see this silhouette in a print as well.

A long lean fine knit cardigan: The shining star of the season. Perfect to top either of the above funds, and an easy way to last year basis look fresh and new.

A thin belt: to bear on these cardigan.

It will also keep its eye for a dress printed or both. There were so many flowers, Paisleys and other patterns on the runways she knows they are also important.

Of course, there will be additions, probably in the form of pretty flowers fall, and it has not even begun to look at shoes, belts and bags. But with these bases, the foundations of his wardrobe will fall into place.

Summer Celebrity Fashion: Bikini Beauty Edition

Memorial Day is typically the unofficial start of summer.

While many of our readers may currently be relaxing on the beach, The Hollywood Gossip staff is hard at work bringing you the season's hottest trends.

Today, we focus on that sexy piece of swim wear favored by Lindsay Lohan, Gemma Atkinson and other large-breasted celebrities: the bikini.

Here's a shot of the former, trying to draw attention from any warm-blooded male that crosses her path:



Mischa Barton is seen here in a bikini. We know it's difficult to see, of course. After all, the rail-thin actress is almost invisible when she turns to the side.


Uma Thurman looks very pretty in this picture. The Kill Bill star is walking along the beach in nothing but a bikini.


Lohan, of course, isn't the only star rocking this look. Click on the thumbnails below to see what other bikini babes have been strutting their stuff on the beach lately...


Gemma Atkinson is seen here in a bikini. It's actually far more layers of clothing than this British model is used to wearing.

Fashion Rio: Brazilian Fashion Week Summer 2008. Full Coverage

It goes without saying, that Brazilian Fashion Week has nothing in common with the Paris one. But, it doesn’t mean, that we mustn’t cover it at all, yeah? Want to know why? At least, because I really love Gisele Bundchen and then I suppose, this coverage is the smallest favour I can do for them. It’s not much, yeah? Especially when the show was that nice.

Unfortunately, my beloved Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen was absent ((( but young designers didn’t fail, they tried their best and showed us really hot collections. The spring/summer 2009 collection was devoted to the theme of recycling, Rio Fashion Week offered a fresh new outlook to fashion. Main motto: “Rethink, Recycle, Renew”. The event will end June 13th.

The first designer to enjoy is Maria Bonita Extra with her lovely elegant silhouettes, flowers and hats. Charming )))





Now it’s time for Mara-Mac fashion show and their Grecian Goddesses and emphasizes of beautiful women body. Love the belts and white colours )))





Finally, Salinas swimwear impressed me. So easy, so bright and so nice )))

Celebrities Coverage on Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2009 Shows

To tell the truth, I start hating this, I am not enough of summer hot trends yet and now it’s time to pick up autumn’s and winter’s ones. It’s so challenging ))) Don’t you think so? Anyway, before providing you with the full report from Paris Fashion Week (Haute Couture, Autumn/Winter Season 2009) let me share with some picture of celebrities attending them.

Claudia Schiffer looked a bit unusual (I mean not in her usual way). She has some resemblance to a secretary, but I like her look.



Eva Mendes - the combination is OK, just don’t like her shoes, too much of sparkles and hair-do.



Linda Crater has impressed me. She looks stunning and fresh. Yellow is her colour.



Liv Tyler. Well, like her dress but to my mind, it’s better for her not to leave it somewhere… she can have some problems with all these stripes.



Who looks the best???
