Get Minxed...

At the Honey Mag event last Thursday, I was introduced to a revolutionary nail product that will forever change my beauty regime--- Minx Nails. Worn and adored by celebrities like Fergie, Lady Gaga, and Leighton Meester, Minx is a solid nail coating that adheres to your nails. The whole process was astonishing, and quick! The best part is that you don't have to worry about waiting for your nails to dry or clumsily ruining them right away! The Minx covering can last about four to eight days on your hands and four weeks on your feet. The metallic nails designs are vibrant and a definite conversation starter. With so many patterns to chose from, you'll never have to fallback on traditional polish.

Elizabeth & James: Celebrity Chic

After the tragic end of the Jovavich-Hawk partnership, many fashionistas were in search of a new celebrity fashion line. Named after Mary-Kate and Ashley's sister and brother, the much anticipated release of Elizabeth & James (this past spring) was well received by audiences across the style spectrum. E&J is getting a lot more attention than their previous line called, The Row, which catered to a minimalistic crowd. As fall looms in, there is much to look forward to as the Olsen twins never fail to deliver. E&J focuses on the idea of duality; the simple marriage of masculine and feminine. The boyish blazers and dainty dresses mirror the effortless Olsen style. Not ready to splurge? Elizabeth & James now has a jewelry collection (preorder at Intermix). The coveted young Hollywood elegance is yours for the taking. FASHION

Editorial: Celebrity Designers

So what gives just any celebrity the right to start designing clothing? Leave it to the professionals and those that have had real training. Leave it to those that work hard every day and pay attention to detail, when designing. I'm getting sick of seeing all these celebrities starting their own clothing line, or accessory line. This goes for singing and acting as well. It is all so stupid in my opinion.

"Pressly, who last month won the Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Emmy for her role in the NBC hit "My Name Is Earl,'' plans to launch J'aime Collection on Oct. 15 during Los Angeles Fashion Week."source

Yet another celebrity becoming a "lavish" and "new" fashion designer! I just don't see the potential. Who would her target fan base actually be? My husband watches "My Name Is Earl", but I highly doubt he would ever purchase one of her designs.

It seems rather selfish of celebrities to try to gain more revenue by starting a fashion line. It is as if they are not satisfied with their current lifestyle. It would be different if they were starting a charity, designing garments for an important cause. If you have the money to help the world, then do so, instead of just trying to help your self, for greedy purposes.



Mimi Says:

Well we also must give some credit to the celebs who do have a great sense of style. For instance Gwen Stefani. I love love love L.A.M.B. for it's edgy and chic clothes and accessories.
