Fashion Hot and Not: Blake Lively vs. Leighton Meester
Hello all you fashion lovers out there, welcome to a new addition to our fashion section, the first installment of Hot and Not. Now don’t get me wrong, I love the fashion of GG (both on the show and real life) but sometimes the designers and the actors just get it…well, wrong. Bad accessories, bad patterns, and just plan bad fashion sense hit us all at one time or another, and isn’t it fun to look and stare when it does? So weekly, monthly, or just whenever bad and good fashion occurs, I’ll bring it here to you in a little compare and contrast.
In this week’s installment we have Blake vs. Leighton in Hot and Not moments.
The venue: The MET Costume Institute Gala 2009
Hot: Blake in a teal Versace gown and Chanel Beaute makeup. I love love love this look on her. It’s polished, its clean, its sexy, its very all grown up and look at me. Very Serena and un-Serena in ways and I have to give major kudos to Blake and her styling team.
Not: Leighton in Louis Viutton. I’m sorry but she looks like a runaway circus clown. Hate the puffy sleeves. Hate the jumpsuit feeling to it. Hate the shoes with ties at the ankles. And hate the curls and bright red lipstick. Usually Leighton brings us such great fashion choices in public, so I was really shocked to see this from her. Makes me wonder if she had a styling team.

Men’s Trends 2011
Without a doubt, the collection for men that Gucci has launched (for the coming Fall Winter 2010 2011 season) combines highly classic elements and, at the same time, includes very particular features which add a special style and a good dosage of glamour.
And, without a doubt, all the items of this collection have a common denominator: The excellent quality that this brand offers with its products season after season.
Colors like black, brown, blue, and a sort of purplish red (or burgundy) are an important trend for the next season and Gucci has used them on clothing pieces with remarkable designs.
Corduroy, leather, denim, and other beautiful quality fabrics (both solid and printed) are materials of this collection, which we can define as a sample of casual elegance. If you are looking for clothes to wear in a trendy but refined way, then Gucci is definitely an option to consider.
Fashion 2011
January 5th, 2011 | Published in NASAssistic | 1 Comment
EARLY last year, someone sent me an e-mail on fashion predictions for the year and I remember reading it and feeling a little sad that skinny jeans were going to go out of style.
Thankfully, the many pieces I purchased with studs, sequins and metal embellishments on them made it through the year, as the prediction of their popularity turned out to be spot on.
The same happened with animal print, although to this day I still can’t bring myself to throw on a cheetah print dress or even a top.
Hundreds of predictions are made every year in the fashion industry, and in the spirit of the new year, we’ve decided to make some too.
We won’t just talk about materials, colours and cuts, but also changes in how fashion is modelled and presented.
Only time will tell if our predictions are accurate, but for now we’d just like to usher in 2011 in style and look forward to what this year’s runways have to offer.
Healthy models
For years Tyra Banks has been championing plus-sized models (in America’s Next Top Model: Cycle 10, size 10 model Whitney Thompson won the top prize) and recently Britain launched Just As Beautiful, a plus-sized fashion magazine.
Many designers and stylists the world over have begun incorporating bigger girls in their shows and photoshoots.
The waif look has ruled our catwalks for too long, and healthy-looking girls are fast becoming models of choice.
We'll be seeing more of the likes of Carre Otis
We’re not saying the runway will be ruled by only girls with girth, but rather that stick-thin, anorexic physiques will soon be a thing of the past.
We’ll be seeing more of the likes of Whitney Thompson, Carre Otis and Emme Aronson in shows and magazines because let’s face it, there are less than 1% of people in the world who are born with your typical supermodel figure.
Length is more
Don’t throw away all your minis just yet, but just so you know, in 2011, hemlines will drop. Already stores are filling up their racks with knee length to midcalf-length pieces, and not just for the more conservative, modern women.
Covering up more doesn’t signal the death of sexy. After all, we’ll still have our slits and skin-hugging material to rely on.
This year, it’s all about balance when it comes to length, but you might as well get used to saying goodbye to skimpy in a few months.
Because less isn’t more, any more.
Eco-fashion/ethical fashion
A few years ago no one gave two hoots about reusing, reducing and recycling, but these days many fashionistas have adopted the idea of saving the earth.
Although not hugely popular just yet, clothes made from organic raw materials, such as cotton grown without pesticides, or re-used materials such as recycled plastic from old bottles, are soon going to be all the rage.
A dress made from recycled materials
Clothes made with the environment in mind don’t involve the use of harmful chemicals and bleaches, and many shoppers will be enquiring into these details.
Vintage pieces too, will be all the more popular as women everywhere dig into their mothers’ closets to find precious hand-me-downs, in an effort to consume less.
Hardly anyone gushes over fur any more, and in 2011 owning something which came about as a result of someone’s (or some animal’s) suffering will be so not cool.
People want to know where something came from, and a sweatshop with child labourers slaving 14 hours a day with minimal wage won’t send anyone into a shopping frenzy.
Individuality
Fast fashion and mass production will not die out, but being your own fashion stylist is totally the new thing to do.
There are tons of blogs and websites where individuals put together their own outfits, some even making their own clothes, to not conform to fashion rules.
Vintage items will be much sought after, handmade jewellery and clothes cut and modified to the individual’s liking will be how everyone rolls this year.
