Spotlight Saturday - Kim Kardashian & Vera Wang

Kim Kardashian is in the spotlight once again as she was seen leaving fashion designer Vera Wang's bridal shop with none other than Wang herself.  It has been stated that Vera Wang is quite chummy with the Kardashian clan and even designed the dress Kim's sister Chloe wore when she wed basketball star Lamar Odom.  The reason Kim's in the spotlight today is because of the hideous leopard jump suit she was spotted wearing.  Speculations have been rising as to whether or not the piece is a 'Wang'? Whatever/whoever it is, it's nothing short of disastrous!  And for that matter, what the heck is up with Vera with the shorts over slacks and not to be too bold but seriously with the 'no bra', you are not 15! I'm throwing her in the spotlight too! What were ya'll thinking?!

Watercolor Floral

There's a new diversion to the common floral print taking over these days as 'water color floral' designs are making a big statement this summer.  Gone is the idea that 'floral prints' are a vintage design of the past or for your granny, as solids are out & vivacious brush stroke hues are in!  Watercolor prints look like something that came straight off of an artists canvas...  Floral is big in Hollywood at the moment, seen here being worn by Cameron Diaz, Heidi Montag and Leslie Mann.

Floral was seen at Prom this year in designs such as this watercolor floral low draped back prom dress...

This watercolor floral bohemian print peasant blouse is ultra feminine paired with a pair of stone washed denim jeans...

  
Floral is everywhere and in every design from bags to shoes and don't think it's going to go away come Winter as it's even being incorporated into colder weather clothing although considered non traditional.

Venus & Serena Williams...Fashionable On The Court?

Anyone who follows the sport of Tennis, knows very well who sisters Venus & Serena Williams are.  Both being professional tennis players formerly in the #1 ranking.  Besides being on top of their game in tennis, both of the Williams sisters have redefined the idea of sports wear and have found a way to mix fashion with athletics.

Last year, Venus definitely had heads turning on the court when she turned up wearing her own racy lingerie inspired tennis dress that what a spaghetti strapped, corset bodice, laced trim flouncy concoction.   I'm not too sure this would be considered a favorable sporty fashion fave amongst her racket swinging peers!  I'm not quite sure that 'sexy' is the word I'd use to describe this designer mishap?!  

Sister Serena Williams obviously opts for the gladiator/Xena warrior queen look as she was seen wearing this custom made black get up complete with knee boots? That just looks 'HOT' to me and not in a good way, but literally! 

      
I respect their desire to try to incorporate high fashion into their daily sports attire but in this instance, I think the traditional 'white'  on the court is most eye appealing and uniformly appropriate.  

Or even this school girl'ish inspired pink mini skirt number seen worn by Serena at the U.S. Open in 2007...

Venus Williams recently stated she's going to be 'trending towards simplicity' with her fashion choices on the court...and that comment from her was before she decided to wear this!...  If they could both just do away with the missing undergarments look to their outfits, they might be a bit more palatable...

Or maybe not!....What is your opinion?

Lady Gaga Wants Her Own Fashion Line

Lady Gaga was recently named 'Fashion Icon' at the CFDA (Council Of Fashion Designers Of America) Awards.

Gaga is said to have an 'eye' for fashion and in her video for her new single "Edge Of Glory", she is seen wearing vintage Versace.  She was quoted as saying "I would love to start a fashion line and would even stop making music for awhile, at least a year". 

After seeing these photos of her whooping it up at the CFDA after party, I'd say...."Don't quit your day job Gaga"!  I think there's a fine line where fashion and taste are concerned and she's teetering on the edge of 'raunch'!  Any thoughts?...
