OMG! Ms. HAM Herself...Britney Spears

SPEECHLESS....

Ok, does it make it better if we tell you that Britney Spears was taking a break from rehearsing at the Millennium Dance Complex in Hollywood Monday after teaching an hour-long dance lesson – with choreographed routines to vintage Madonna songs – to a group of six kids?

Jada & Will Smith - Did she really validate him??

Jada and Will Smith at Victoria Beckham's birthday party. Will rocked a country club look while Jada opted for a rock 'n' roll vibe (and check out her edgy new hairdo). Straight from Jada's mouth, "I validated Will"..WOW, powerful statement. Is that cocky or confident?

Ladies, what's your thoughts on (1) their outfits (2) do you feel that it takes a WOMAN to validate a MAN or better yet can a WOMAN validate a MAN (3) should a WOMAN want a MAN that needs to be validated? hmmmm.....very interested in your thoughts on this topic.

Keeping up with the Kardashians?

Kim Kardashion, the reality star who is known for her dramatic sex appeal (and a sex tape). She comes complete with heavily lined eyes , long lashes, and Reggie Bush (sorry ladies, he's definitely off the market with this one).

Want to know what she's wearing? Well, you can bet is comes from her very own boutique, DASH, which she owns with her two sisters. It just recently went online at http://www.shopdashonline.com/, however, you can't actually shop online....not sure what's the sense of that. Anywho, you can look and then call the store to purchase (they don't have much inventory online yet). Can you keep up with this KARDASHIAN?

Flawless Looking Skin (FLS) - What's the secret?

With the BIG "R" knocking on our door, we want to help everyone save more by shopping SMART.

Bloggers, please share with everyone your best kept beauty secret. What's in your makeup bag? What beauty product(s) can you not live without?

America's Next Top Model - Liya Kebede

This international beauty was born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. While in school at the French Lycee, a film director spotted the young beauty and introduced her to a French modeling agent. After completing her studies, she moved to France to pursue work through a local Parisian agency. Liya inevitably relocated to the fashion capital of New York City, where she currently resides full-time. We believe this is the model rumored to be dating Tyler Perry. We must say, she is HOT! We've spotted her all over the Spring and Fall 2008 Runways for A-list Designers.

Which runway look would you personally rock?

Obsession Du Jour - LaROK Dresses

Fashion Faceoff: LINDSAY VS. HEIDI, both in LaROK. Who rocked it better?

Winning Team or NOT?

Janet Jackson with longtime partner Jermaine Dupri. Here's the question: Do you feel that your man's style should complement yours?

Ms. B or should we say Mrs. Carter ???

Beyonce stepped out in high style, wearing a belted dress and fiery shoes for a day of shopping in Paris with beau Jay-Z. Leather gloves and drop earrings completed the classic look.

Aside from her outfit, we are interested in knowing whether or not they really got married this past weekend (cast your vote using the poll to the right). If anyone has any inside scoop, please share the details with us...and oh, comment on her look (dress, belt, gloves, shoes). CHEERS!

What the HELL?

What the HELL is Mary-Kate Olsen thinking? .... She is rocking Chloe but this fit is a clear indication that all that's expensive is not always HOT. We are loving the fur and clutch but even with all its GLAM, it doesn't do anything for the entire look. The dress would probably wear well by itself....Let us know your thoughts.

Sex and the City Girls!

Sex and the City stars Cynthia Nixon, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis reunite on the red carpet in New York City. Which lady does your style mostly identify with and why?

Stripes Have IT - Staying Power

WHO WORE IT BEST: Eva Longoria or Hayden Panettiere? What are your thoughts on (1) stripes; (2) white sandals?

Mini Dresses

Cameron Diaz in a Missoni minidress and shiny accessories from Christian Louboutin. Minidresses popped back on the scene in Spring/Summer 07 and are making a staying statement for Spring/Summer 08. There seems to be mixed emotions about minidresses because they are getting shorter and shorter, some folks are even wearing shirts as minidresses. Let Fashion Martini know if you are PRO or CON on minidresses. CHEERS!

Red Hot!

Madonna paired her red Cavalli jacket with matching Christian Louboutin flats and Stella McCartney jeans. Check out the front zipper and let us know your thoughts on this look.

We reported rompers as one of the Spring 2008 trends and look what we see here........Mary-Kate Olsen in a Calvin Klein Collection romper. In the same post, we informed you that oversize clutches were another HOT Spring 2008 trend. What are your thoughts on Mary Kate rocking the romper and an oversized clutch from Miu Miu? Come on, tell us how you really feel about this look. CHEERS!

Ruffles - Another HOT Spring 2008 Trend

Floral Prints - Spring 2008 Trend

Vanessa Williams in a floral print dress by Bebe. Floral Print is one of Spring 2008 hottest trends so you may want to run out and purchase a staple floral piece to rock before the season ends. If you look closely, Vanessa is sporting vampire (black) nail polish on her toes. Let us know your thoughts on long floral dresses. We also would like to know if you are a fan of vampire polish. CHEERS!

Holey Jeans!

Ok, besides where has she been, Christina Milian's fashion statement in this photo sparks a couple of questions ...let us know your thoughts on (1) Do you think holey jeans are HOT? (2) If so, where and when are they appropriate to wear and (3) would you rock them with open toe shoes?

And she does it again....changing up her look is what she does best!
Guess who ladies? None other than Ashlee Simpson in J Brand. This girl is definitely rocking what we consider a return to polished, ladylike dressing. We would love to hear your thoughts on the Ray-Ban sunglasses, Chanel pearls, Dolce & Gabbana bag and YSL sandals. CHEERS!

Black sheer tights with ivory shoes?

We recently found out that TIGHTS are no longer the IT thing, but SHEER TIGHTS are....OK...sheer tights???? Come on...this is nothing more than stockings in our opinion. Anywho, we are the first to stand by "no rules" in fashion however, a great designer by the name of Michael Kors stated that your shoes should always be a shade darker than your pantyhose.

Both Nicky Hilton and Sarah Jessica Parker have done the exact opposite in the above photos.....so let us know your thoughts on (1) Sheer tights taking priority over the opaque tights and (2) what do you think about your pantyhose being darker than your shoes (more specifically, black hose with lighter shoes)?

Straw bags, shades, and scarf combo....

Speaking of in-between season clothing, due to the popularity of scarves this fall, they are now being worn year round. You will notice that stores are stocking up on light weight scarves for the Spring. And back again is STRAW BAGS!!!!! What are your thoughts on the straw bag and spring scarf combination?

Tory Burch Swimwear

We are dedicating today's posting to one of our bloggers who feel that Beyonce can get away with wearing swimwear to the mall but "we" can't. Let us know your thoughts.

Here's the scene....you have on one of the above swimwear or similar, you're on your way to a swim party but you forget something major...you need to run to the store to pick up this item....the store is in the mall or on a boutique strip, would you change or run in with your swimwear?

Colored Accessories

Martini Toast to a Splash of Color!

It's time to start shopping colors...yes, the 80s is back... Colored shoes and purses are the IT thing for this Spring. Remember, your purse and shoes do not have to match!

Who we spotted rocking this trend:

Just when you thought loud colors were out the door....Rihanna has been spotted several times with colored shoes. She is one true trendsetter that knows a good trend when she sees one. You can depend on Rihanna to rock the latest.

1) Katherine Heigl sports a yellow blouse with a deep red bag.

2) Molly Sims in a Diane von Furstenberg dress sports a bright red bag.

3) Victoria Beckham in a Marc Jacobs dress sports a bright red bag - one of her favorites - the Hermes Birkin, with deep red shoes.

4) Victoria again in Marc Jacobs top with a Chanel scarf, Hermes Birkin bag and Louboutin heels.

You should wear your shoes or purse without putting much thought into it, but to simply highlight an outfit. Think of it as a "splash of color" to brighten up your look. Below, we use Mary-Kate to show you how your bag doesn't need to match anything you're wearing. She also wears a purple and black scarf to add another splash to her decor.
