The Debate on Weight

It’s no secret that Americans feel pressure to be stick thin. The image is projected onto us from every media outlet. With super tiny models and celebrities reigning supreme over pop culture, the race is on to become the skinniest version of yourself. Then there’s the idea that big is beautiful and not to be ashamed of your size. These influential messages have teens and adults alike in a standstill between embracing their figure and shaming themselves into thinness.

"Well, bold and big are beautiful, and the fashion industry is taking baby steps to ensure these gorgrous women get their chance in the spotlight"

The Horizontal French Twist

 Yves Saint Laurent’s Spring Collection 2011 Runway show look

Guido Palau, the creative consultant for Redken, and his team created the slick style to draw attention to the model’s features and create a commanding, take-no-prisoners vibe that went along perfectly with the collection’s bold look.

Do You Think Temporary Tattoos Make A Fashion Statement?

Beyonce’s line House of Dereon, also makes super-cute temporary tattoos (for a fraction of the price!)

Dereon Temporary Kit, $16

Ever since Chanel debuted the temporary tattoo trend on the catwalk for spring 2010, it’s now acceptable to wear a temp tat again! Remember those ones for 25 cents you would get out of a machine when you were little? Well, now (for $75 more), you can fashionably express your inner-rock star without getting permanently inked…and without the regret a week later.

Here are some helpful hints for your wild-child self to make these temporary tattoo’s as classy and awesome as possible:

DO choose a temp tattoo in all black.

DON’T put them in a “tramp stamp” location (ie. lower back).

DO buy ones of higher quality—they’ll last longer!

We love these by Chanel, which come with 3 sheets and 55 designs

The Animal Print Trend Will Never Die Out

Animal prints itself are bold in its true colors. Go the extra mile and put a dab of color on your fur, hair, and pretty much anything you can get your hands on.

Christian Dior fall 2011 haute couture, IMAXTREE

The animal print trend will never die out, but like spicing up a plain tee with jewels, adding a little color brings the look to life. Diane von Furstenberg is one of few that brings print to the runway since its early years and buyers from all over welcomes them into their stores. Christian Dior fall 2011 haute couture collection was all over the place with a mix of pastels, layered frills, choppy sequins and more. But that pink-striped zebra jacket and blue giraffe printed skirt stood out from the monstrosity.
