Double Take…..
7 JunThey say imitation is the greatest form of flattery. However in the fashion world that is the biggest faux pas. No one wants to be seen wearing the exact same outfit. Individuality is key especially when it comes to red carpet events. However let’s be serious we know things do happen, but the real question is who rocked it better? Here are a few celebrities who are sure to make you do a double take… I need you guys to be the judge of who rocked the outfit best!!!! Personally I am loving Ms. Rhi Rhi (Rhianna) and Kate Hudson… But I want to hear from you!
Ciao,

Totally Posh….
9 JanVictoria Beckham a style diva in her own right has launched her own clothing and accessories line. The 2011 Spring collection is said to be inspired by Victoria’s love for structural shapes and of course drapping. It also boasts her coveted handbag collection. The “Victoria” bag is practically sold out on net-a-poter.com. There is an extremely long waiting list for anyone trying to even get close to purchasing a bag. Victoria is also featuring her sunglasses which I am sure will do well because they are apart of her signature look… Victoria was made to be apart of Fashion. It is so hard to believe she began her career as a Spice Girl. She may have missed the mark in music but she is totally hitting it in FASHION!!!!
