Pop Culture Fashionista or Faux Fashionista: Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani is at the Cannes Film Festival and every time she steps out, she is lookin FIERCE!

Gwen looks great in pretty much anything she wears but she is stepping out in black in her appearances. Just look on how stunning she looks on two separate occasions.

Gavin doesn’t look too bad either…

Skirts and Polish

Yes I know I’ve been bad blogger.

Anyhoo.

I’ve been shopping in my absence and let me tell you I have been finding some hella great deals and steals that you all need in your life. Ulta had NYX products on sale for 40 percent off. I didn’t even know that Ulta carried NYX products!  There were so many products to choose from but I picked three loose pigment eyeshadows, Jade Pearl, Orange Zest Pearl, and Blue (glitter).  As we all know, I have to wear a uniform to work, but that does not stop me from expressing myself with my makeup.  Actually a majority of makeup was on sale at Ulta, but the most affordable was  NYX. Ulta also had some of their products on sale and I found a body wash and bubble bath on sale.  They smell awesome and the scent is Lavender Fields.

A trip to JCPenneys was also made in the last few days.  They were getting rid of shoes and they were marked down 50 to 70 percent off.  Usually I don’t shop the shoe sale rack at JCPenneys but this time they had my size. I found a pair of black peep toe booties with a nice thick heel for $24.99!!   We also went upstairs to the women’s department and you know I headed straight for the sale rack and found a lovely gray skirt.

A trip to the Avenue had to be made since they had a sale going on. For every 40 dollars you spend, they would take 10 dollars off… or something like that.  Well I wasn’t seeing much that I wanted, so I took a turn over to the jewelry and sunglasses where I picked out two pairs of sunglasses and elephant ring which were all on sale.  I also found a green shirt that I’m having second thoughts about because it might be a little too stretchy on my chest area.

 I had read on a few websites on how Wet N’ Wild products are on sale at Walgreens stores and of course I ran over there like my life depended on it.  Walgreens had certain lipsticks, liners and nail polishes on sale for 69 cents! YES!  This gave me an opportunity to stock up on more items that I didn’t need. Four nail polishes and one eye liner later and I’m ready for summer.

The Return of the SUPERMODEL

Can you name 5 supermodels that are currently walking the runways this season? Most fashionistas can’t. The days of the Christy, Cindy, Linda, Naomi, and Kate are gone, but on occasion they pop up and show these ladies how it’s done.  Supermodels Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell walked the runway for Louis Vuitton during Paris fashion week.  The British supermodels did the show as a favor for Marc Jacobs. Campbell still occasionally walks the runways and for Moss, this is her third runway show since going into “retirement” in 2004.

Pop Culture Fashionista or Faux Fashionista: 3 for 1 Special!

Everyone who reads Pop Culture Fashionista knows that we love all things Tom Ford and after we heard that a Tom Ford store was opening up Beverly Hills, we had to get pics of some of the lovely ladies that showed up.

First up... Eva Longoria.

Eva the diva can do no wrong in my book. I'm usually not a fan of shiny pants with volume at the bottom, but some how Eva makes the outfit work by staying monochromatic with the all black.

Elizabeth Banks

Ok not really digging those shoes. I feel like ankle straps make short girls look even shorter.  At first when i looked at the dress, i wasnt sure if i liked it. I do like the cut out trend, but the cut outs at the waist made it look a bit hippy.  As i take a second look at this, I see that it gives her more curves.  Elizabeth makes it work

Ginnifer Goodwin

I love the jacket, just not with this outfit. I feel like its too much volume.  Ginnifer looks older, but not granny-ish this outfit. Its like she is a younger version of Bea Arthur.

what do you guys think?

Serena Williams…Fashion Designer?

FIERCE!

It’s that time of year again, time for the U.S. Open and time for some kick ass tennis playing by the Venus and Serena Williams. I have always been a huge tennis fan; even back in the day before the Williams sisters dominated the sport. My faves were Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, John McEnroe and Monica Seles and they always put on one hell of a show. I was really looking forward to see how far the Williams sisters would go until I read that Serena Williams would be out of the U.S. Open due to a foot injury…. What!? Now I know yall are like me and ever since Serena snapped on that line judge at that one tennis match, you are making sure to watch every match just in case of another “incident.” Ok, I’m still gonna watch, but I’m gonna miss Serena. So what does someone with a foot injury do while they are on the mend? They sell their clothes and accessories on Home Shopping Network (HSN). Serena covers all her bases in the world of fashion and its all can be bought at an affordable price. From shoes, dresses, jeans, jewelry and purses. Some of my favorite items are the Serena Signature Statement My One-of-a-Kind Ruffle Rose Bag, and the Serena Signature Rhinestone Chain & Printed Sexy Top I must admit, some of the clothing doesn’t seem Serena-like. You know what I’m talking about, you have seen some of the outfits she wears on and off the court. Maybe just a bit too frumpy for my tastes, but hey that’s just me. Maybe she will put more into her next line. Serena has been on HSN a few times already and it shows that a lot of people out there like what she is giving them. I say keep up the good work sister.
