Current Fixation: Man Slam Dunks Himself Into Basket

 
This is so crazy!! I was watching the news last night, and they showed a clip of an a guy during a Phoenix Suns halftime dunk contest, accidentally dunk his entire body into the basket. Apparently, he came off the trampoline just a little too high, and avoided crashing into the headboard by dunking himself in to the hoop. Check it out.

Fashion Quote of the Day:




Fashions   fade,  Style  is  Eternal.

- Yves Saint Laurent



Style Crush: Sienna Miller


Can we please talk about this girl?!

Skirt and Cropped Jacket by Twenty8Twelve

Backless belted Twenty8Twelve dress


Miller in Denim leggings and oxford flats



The British beauty is one of the few that is always on point, but yet, looks so effortless.
From her barely their make-up/ natural beauty, she just always looks so put together!
Just looking at her is pure inspiration!
 Is it any wonder that the next logical step... is her own line?
[That natural talent had to come in handy then just looking bomb.com all the time.]
Sienna started a clothing and accessory line with her own sister Savannah Miller and they've been slowly making a name for themselves.

So are you in love as much as we are?
Valentine's Day is coming up so we had to find someone to love
LOL

Chris in Court


On Friday Chris Brown appeared in a L.A. courtroom for a progress report. He asked the judge to remove the restraining order against Rihanna.


His attorney, Mark Geragos, argued that the restraining order, "makes it difficult at award shows and such," (both are nominated for multiple Grammys) and pointed out that Brown had completed the required 52 weeks of domestic ciolence counseling, as well as 582 of the required 1400 hours community service."

According to RadarOnline, before the request can be granted, Rihanna's attorney must approve the modification from a "stay away" order to a "do not annoy."

Chris Brown is scheduled to remain on probation until the year 2014.

Still so chic!

Spring Fashion Forecast: Beauty Fix


Chanel Iman

Continuing with our spring fashion forecast, we are moving right into the fun stuff..... makeup products! This season  we are seeing makeup artists move away from the normal pink shades, and towards a  more peachy look. Diane Von Furstenburg, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Derek Lam are amongst some of the designers who have showcased this new look on the runways. 

Bright pops in color are also a favorite this spring. Purples, blues, greens, and corals, are all apart of the colors we are beginning to see......  if it's bright, it's right! However, if bright shades scare you, don't worry it happens to the best of us. It's all about balancing out bright shades with neutral colors.

When you wear bright colors, make sure to wear them on one or two features, and focus the rest with neutrals. Choose eye shadows that compliment the tones found on your eyelids, and lip colors that are close in hue with  your bare lips. It's very helpful to find a palette that contains all the shades you'll need.Here are a few of our favorite makeup products for spring.
