Fashion knows no age and Oscar de la Renta is proving this with his fabulous spring 2013 collection, that show cased amazing fashions for our little Stylista’s and Stylisto’s. The one thing we loved about Oscar’s collection is that its very age appropriate and the mini models that he used were real kids just enjoying walking in a fabulous runway show.

Oscar de la Renta is known for his timeless and elegant pieces and we can see the same effort and thought went behind the process for the children’s line. He’s giving classic pieces for our little people to rock and even a Jackie-O inspired look but; very fresh and youthful:

The boy’s look so cute and just how little boys should look and they just owned the look as they came down the runway:

Love the pops of color in the shoe strings and that he allowed the playfulness with the scooters. The little girls looked just as cute in their little dresses and the fabric choices are ones that will last and easy to keep up:

We personally feel that Oscar and his team have knocked out the tiny tots with easy and we cannot wait to see what is coming via F/W!

Good Fabulous TGIF LaPazions! As you know we’re always on the look for budget friendly styles that we see on the red carpet, let me just tell you we have it for you! Yes sit back and enjoy this article because you’re not going to believe this; because some of the top celebs are rocking outfits that literally only cost them about $60-$299-Your eyes aren’t deceiving you and you read that correctly we don’t mean $60,000 either!! How? The one and only clothing chain H&M are giving you and everyone a true red carpet fashion blast and major celebs like Viola Davis, Michelle Williams (Not Destiny’s Child Williams), Gennifer Goodwin, Amanda Seyfried and Kristin Davis all have rocked the H&M Red Carpet collection.

Top $35- Skirt $25 White Top $30-Black Skirt $25 Roseset $15  Blazer $35-Shorts $25 Dress $65

The new collection is very fresh and A-list ready and you’ll look just as amazing plus you can add accessories from the chain to complete your look. I guess what also blew us away was that we saw the first H&M Red Carpet collection look during the 85th White House Correspondence Dinner and didn't realize it:

Ginnifer Goodwin-$299 Gennifer Goodwin wore this look and added a little black belt and clutch which was also from H&M her total look for the night was about $300.00 I know fall off your seats but, to us Gennifer is bringing Budgetlista to a whole new high!! We want to give you a further look at the collection:

HM-Red-Carpet5 hm-conscious-orange-dress HM-Red-Carpet3 HM-Red-Carpet4 If this wasn’t one of the biggest announcements from the clothing chain yesterday, how about this; Beyonce Knowles-Carter is now the face of the clothing company. Yep this girl is on fire (in my Alicia Keys voice) she’s gearing up for her world renowned tour and just incase you didn’t know Solange Knowles also is a model for the brand. Beyonce, just did the photo shoot for the commercials and print ads that will be used during the campaign! The photo shoot took place in the Bahamas and she rocked a pair of the Brief shorts, sleeveless-top and a flower in her hair and the look isn’t overt its very tasteful:

Fashion-Beyonce-HM113322--300x300 beyonce-for-HM H&M is really making a mark in the fashion industry; and if you all watch the Wendy Williams show most of her audience that she selects for the look of the day are rocking something from H&M-The brand is becoming a household name and we think that you’re going to hear more and more about this store and more celebs are going to be wearing looks from the chain.

What’s Happening to Fashion TV

Fashion Week 036

Editor-in-Chief: Sonya LaRae

Senior Editor: Neah Leslie

Hello LaPazions, I guess today has been one of those days that if you could see, hear or experience something rather odd then today is that day. I happened to be at a clients home and she had her television on and low and behold; I don’t know if I was floored, offended, appalled or just purely turned off-I guess you’re asking what could have me so upset? Its the new show on Bravo TV titled: 5628_10151307232620780_231918165_nI’m not sure if any of you have seen this yet or not but, in the words of two of the co-host “I’m about to give you the tea!”  First things first when did Miss Lawrence and Derek J become so popular that they warranted their own show and then to throw this mixture a pure curve; they add insult to injury and have Bevy Smith on the panel. Hello has anyone seen these three style wait, correction lack of style? Miss Lawrence over the top foo-foo-la, Derek J his ill fitting clothing that always is too tight and one size too small, and then Bevy Smith with that ever so long cleavage and boobs that could be seen from outer space. Bravo (Andy Cohen) has the nerve to have these three giving fashion advise, criticism and so called tips WHAT THE HELL!!

The show that I saw had Miss Lawrence wearing this dust filled mohair rat with red above the knee boot and bright red lips, Derek J was wearing this too small female pant suit that Bevy Smith tried to clown him (Derek) and Miss Lawrence on their outfit, but she must not have gotten the memo that she looked rather beat with her too small dress, jacket no stockings on really ugly legs that needed a little care and then to top all that off; Bevy had the nerve to wear this purple lip-gloss that looked like she just finished eating a bucket of greasy fried chicken (RACHET!!)

bravo-tv-fashion-queens-bevy-smith-derek-j-lawrence  They looked like the menagerie and the set is just tacky and cheap looking much like these very coy and fake wannabe Diva’s. I know that Miss Lawrence and Derek J are hairstylist and they have several of the A-list Atlanta crowd that they take care of, such as the ladies from the Real House Wives of Atlanta and Big Rich Atlanta. Bevy is very well known for her elaborate dinner parties (Dinner with Bevy) were she get’s the whose-who to attend and build fabulous relationships and she also has worked for Rolling Stone and other well known publications but, this time around I think she and her co-host are in the wrong lane (mind you this is just my opinion).

Bevy Smith fashion-queens-tv-show 

This is my issue with this type of show, there are so many real certified/licensed Image/Style Consultants that they (Bravo) could have given a real platform to that would have given solid, educational and factual information in regards to celebrity looks-body-types, why the person should or shouldn’t wear a certain look and much more. Instead you have three catty-fake and seriously fashionably challenged individuals giving worthless information-giving high attitude and thinking way more of themselves then they should.  When something like this show is put together I don’t know if its just for laughs but, it takes away from our industry- dumbs’ down what true Image Consultants earnestly stand for, all the education, time and effort that we put into being the best professionals that we are. I know some of you may or may not understand my feelings but, those of you that do I would hope you wouldn’t give this show your time nor your energy.

I’d really like to hear you feedback and reaction to this show if you’ve seen it or if you’d like to just speak your opinion in regards to this article.

Dolce & Gabbana on Repeat

Fashion Week 036

Editor-in-Chief: Sonya LaRae

Senor Editor: Neah Leslie

Hello Fabulous LaPazions, we here at Lapazimageing Fashion Forward always love a “Who Wore it Best” Topic. This time around we have three amazing A-lister’s that decided they all needed to rock the little short lace D&G tie front dress. I guess our job here is to determine who we felt rocked the look best and why we feel this way. Let us give you a look at the dress first and then we’ll get into the celebs that selected this particular dress and the events they rocked this carbon copy at.

dolce-and-gabbana-nude-pink-lace-mini-dress-2012-popover

Who are the three fabulous celebs that rocked the Dolce & Gabbana lace tie front dress? Jessica Biel, Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Lopez-all three ladies decided they had to have this dress even though Jessica Biel selected to wear it first to her movie premier, then Jennifer Hudson wore it and lastly Jennifer Lopez rocked it on the Jimmy Kimmel show. Out of all three woman I have to say it came as a shock that we felt Jennifer Hudson looked the best in this little lace dress.

 biel-lopez-hudson

 Let’s break the looks down via a Stylist view-

First: Jessica Biel:

The dress is fitting her body-very well but, due to the cut of the dress and her broad-shoulders; it makes her look a little boxy-plus this color isn’t doing a thing for her it simply is washing her out-then you top that with the hair and someone forgot to just use a little spray tan to balance her tone and warm her up a bit. Jessica also looked a little uncomfortable in the dress she didn’t exude the sex-appeal that we’ve seen and come use to. We personally feel this dress overwhelmed her and she didn’t just own the look.

Second: Jennifer Hudson:

Now look we know this is going to shock you all because, as you know we’re not the biggest fans of the wardrobe selections that J-Hud and her team seem to make but, this time around Jennifer is Doing It UP! The color looks fabulous on her, the cut is very flattering, hair and makeup are right on point. The dress falls at a good point on her to take away from the fact that at times she can look a little knocked-kneed and the nude leg is just beautiful. This is a very fresh and more youthful look that she is donning!! Knocking this one out the park YOU GO GIRL!!

Third: Jennifer Lopez (JLo):

OH-My, my, my: Jennifer as you know is a real risk taker when it comes to her fashions and she is very iconic in her style but, this time around she is not bringing it (flat line, checking for pulse). In all honesty out of all three ladies we feel Jennifer looks the worse in this dress and it makes her look well, a little dowdy and matronly (all of her 40ish and mommy of twins). I know I didn’t think it could ever be possible that something could just look so wrong on Jennifer but; this time around her Stylist did her a great injustice, and to add insult to injury the hair and the makeup big NO-NO! I think they (meaning her team of Stylist) knew that this Dolce & Gabbana dress was a little more youthful and it also required them to bring Jennifer’s look down (meaning trying to give her a younger look) to play it off better and the simplistic hair of half up trying to bring the playfulness of the outfit out but; then keeping it sexy just missed the mark (no pun intended) LOL! The color is all wrong for Jennifer it brings her complexion down and the shoes aren’t saying much for her either. (Notice all three ladies are rocking basically the same shoe)

As stated before, we know that Jessica Biel first wore this cute little number but, being that it seemed so popular and it went into rotation 2 more times, oh and by the way did we also mention that the last night of X-Factor, Khloe Kardashian wore something very similar-(just to make mention) 

khloe-kardashian-on-xfactor-Erica_vain khloe-kardashian-on-xfactor-Erica_vain2 Khloe looked amazing and we loved the nude shoe that she paired it with. None the less we always want to know-Who do you feel “Wore it Best?” 

Stay close to Lapazimageing Fashion Forward, because we have a fabulous article coming on the Color Trends for Spring 2013-That will help you develop and build your wardrobe.

Hello to all our gorgeous LaPazions; I’m always looking for new fabulous project for all of us to try and this one is really great and works! Many time as women we purchase eyeshadow’s that we never use and they sit in our cosmetic cases and do nothing, well we found a great way to put them to use. You can make your own nail-polish out of your eyeshadow. Yes you read this correctly I’m going to give you tip by tip on how to do this fabulous “DIY Project” and if you have a daughter she’ll love this as well.

Now I’m going to give you the list of things you will need to do this Fabulous “DIY Project”:

* 1 small container

* MAC or NYX Eyeshadow (these brands don’t seem to clump)

* Clear Nail Polish

* Plastic Baggie

* Small Art Brush

* Nail Polish Remover (Just incase the color isn’t right)

Supplies Needed

Once you have  all your supplies and have selected the shadow color to make into your polish, these are the following steps you’ll need to take:

STEP 1:

Place your eyeshadow into the zip-lock plastic baggie:

Snip the end of the baggie with your scissors; a small hole that will allow you to place the shadow into your small container or empty nail-polish container:

Apply the nail-polish like you would normally-You could even add a little glitter to the color so it would have just a little more pop. You’ll still need to add a clear top coat to give the shine or you could wear the new matte finish that is very much so the hot trends on all the runways:

Rihanna & Kate Moss Heat up Cover of V-Mag

Fashion Week 025

Editor-in-Chief: Sonya LaRae

Sr. Editor: Meah

Article by: Sonya LaRae

We’ve been hearing the buzz in regards to the recent photo-shoot that Rihanna and Super Model Kate Moss did for the March 2013 cover of V-Magazine, and all we could say was this was seriously not a PG13 type of shoot. The ladies are really channeling their sexy and S&M must have been the theme of the day, they didn’t hold back and both had a Kate Perry moment “I kissed a Girl and I liked it.” V-Mag decided to shot two covers for the March cover-one was a totally naked Rihanna with Kate sitting on her lap covering all the womanly parts and the other; is with Kate sitting naked and Rihanna straddling her. We could only imagine that Rihanna’s music must have been blazing on the set and S&M must have been in a constant rotation:

o-RIHANNA-KATE-MOSS-570 These two look beautiful the makeup with the deep smoky eye and jeweled lip plus the hair is very sexy. Kate looks really healthy and not as thin as we’ve seen her in the past; where Rihanna, is kind of rocking/channeling a more androgynous look with the very short haircut, taking on more of the masculine positioning with her body language. These two cover shots are basically the more innocent of the shoot because the rest is totally racy and here is your look at what else these HOT ladies were up-to:

Kate Moss and Rihanna, shot by Mario Testino, grace the cover of V MagazineGÇÖs GÇ£Dynamic DuosGÇ¥ Rihanna and Kate Moss in V Magazine  rihanna-and-kate-moss-v-magazine-2013--1361540884-custom-0  Do you feel that this photo shoot pushed the envelope? Do you feel that this shoot was tasteful? How far is too far? We’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this overly sexually charged photo-shoot and the shots that have been selected to grace the cover of V-Magazine.
