Which Designer Just Might Need a Stylist of Her Own? | yohana

Guess Who, Recognize the Revealer
Sometimes a celebrity can blame her stylist when she debuts in a clunker like this outfit. However, the wearer of this particular 1970s Jimi Hendrix-electric exploding rainbow can make no such excuse. Why? Because she's a designer. In other words, she's the top of the fashion food chain; her creations go to the stylist, which funnels the garment down to the star. Maybe the stylists are getting stylists now. Otherwise we have no idea what's going on.

Which Movie Star Got Strangled By Her Dress? | yohana

DUI
This redhead loves Lanvin, but his designs don't always love her back. Case in point: The black velvet dress with nude, billowing, sheer sleeves that she wore to the Pirelli Calendar gala in NYC. Look closely and you'll see how the turtleneck is attached to the left arm. Think she could even move well? Even though a great pair of shoes might have salvaged the outfit, her bronze chain-adorned sandals looked like a DIY project! The babe obviously needs a helping arm hand when it comes to fashion. Now, if you didn't already guess who the actress is, after you see the picture, we bet you'll be saying, "This is so (insert name of celeb)."

Which Supermodel Is Wearing Way Too Much Stuff? | yohana

DUI
The problem we often have with young Hollywood hotties is that they think they have to underdress. In their minds, they must offer us side-boob, if not an all-out nip-slip, if they want to remain in on our radar. But sometimes gals have the opposite problem: they can't decide what to wear, so they wear all of it. The necklace, the jumper thing, the belt, the jacket that looks like it was nicked from Mr. Carson at Downton Abbey, all of it. We cannot believe that we're actually asking a woman to take off her clothes, but really: Lose the butler jacket.

DUI
Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats and focus your attention on the arena below! A new crop of giant avian gladiators are just now sprinting out of the dugout and into the...Flamingo Thunderdome! It's time! For the feathers! To fly! Lo, who is this newcomer with the pink emu epaulets and armored dress hammered out of the curtains from Donatella Versace's private nuclear bomb shelter? She's a pop singer, you say? For a pop-funk-hip-hop band? Well she's in the Flamingo Thunderdome now,and it's time for the crowd to vote. Ouch! It's athumbs down!

Which Singer-Actress Is Wearing a Green Screen as a Dress? | yohana


DUI
Actors say it can be tough working in front of a green screen—nothing to react to but a tennis ball on a stick, yadda yadda. But this blonde prefers to wear her green screen, which, from the looks of things, is a whole lot easier. As for who exactly is buried in there (somewhere), some hints: She's a singer as well as a thesp. She has come under scrutiny for weight issues and a very public romantic scandal. And she perhaps thinks she can make all of that disappear by making herself...poof! Invisible! At least, invisible in a special-effects movie.

Which Actress Is Giving Us a Serious Craving For Funnel Cake? | yohana

Elle Fanning
Sometimes you need a dress. Sometimes you need a funnel cake. And sometimes you need a dress that doubles as a big, round, greasy, perfectly powdered piece of funnel cake fresh from Amish country. Think we're wrong? Just ask this rising (no pun intended) young actress who wore her own very edible-looking doily dress to a big-time holiday movie premiere. Now, by way of a hint, we'll tell you that this actress is really, really young, and may never have even seen a funnel cake before. Here's what she has seen: Steven Spielberg.

What Funny Gal Is Making Us Laugh (Just a Little) At Her Leggies? Today 1:00 PM PST by Leslie Gornstein DUI In the fashion world, much is made about the so-called "pop of color." The idea: Wake up your neutral wardrobe with a mango-colored purse or an acid-green bangle or whatnot. We here at mystyle love to apply the pop-o-hue tenet in the form of a floral scarf (not that you asked). In theory, the color pop to the left should serve as a passable example of this approach; the clothes are black, the tights are bright pink. And yet, it doesn't. Somewhere between "Let's wear the black dress" and "Oooh, candy tights," something fell through. Maybe it's the unerring blackness of the rest of the outfit or maybe it's the length of the skirt or the way the Mary Janes are turning her leggies into pink Hostess Sno Balls.

Dui, Guess Who
Let's see, let's see...what to wear the premiere of a film about the Serbian conflict...a premiere that is being co-sponsored by the Holocaust Memorial Museum? Do we wear a dress? No. Pants? No. How about a prison jumpsuit? Oh my gosh, of course! Why didn't we think to attend a movie about genocide while wearing a colorless one-piece outfit that invokes death camps? When we went to that movie premiere cosponsored by the Holocaust Memorial Museum, all we wore was a dress with some jewelry. Boy, do we feel silly now.

Sharie Manon | yohana

Sharie Manon
The Glam Fairy gang is taking a break for the holidays, with new episodes premiering after the new year. But check the schedule here for repeats. In lieu of Sharie Manon's weekly blog, we bring you an interview we did with the hair diva during the show's premiere party in NYC, where she gave us the scoop on her personal style.
WHAT SHE'S STYLIN': I'm wearing a dress that's ruched on the sides and has a T-strap on the back. It's very sexy. It shows off my scapula. And it's also leopard on the bottom. I bought it off the rack, and then took it to my tailor, who modified it and, now, it fits like a glove and that's why I chose it. I paired it with a bright mauve-and-purple Aldo shoe to get that pop of color. They're amazing! I wear all kinds of designers. My favorite shoe designer is Giuseppe Zanotti, but you know what? Aldo had the shoe in the color that I wanted and it was $100.
FASHION PHILOSOPHY: I'm sexy rocker-chic. I love to mix things up. I can wear a very expensive piece and I can wear something that I bought at H&M or Topshop and really work it out. While I'm influenced by trends, I don't live by trends. I'll buy something amazing, like a great Chanel jacket and wear it for a few seasons with trendy jewelry. But you're not going to see me buy really expensive trends every single season. I try to be smart.
BEAUTY ICONS: I look to styles from the '40s for inspiration. Veronica Lake has a great look that's very classic and that type of wave in the hair always looks good. It never goes out of style and it's beautiful. Dita Von Teese does a really great look for her makeup. It's classic. The wing is not too heavy. There's not a lot of contour. To make it more current, sometimes I'll look to Gwen Stefani. She's like me: a stylish mom. She has that rock vibe. Her makeup is always on point. She doesn't look to an artist to do her face. She does her own. I love that!
FLAWLESS FACE: All my skincare is Shiseido. I use Makeup Forever primer. I also use their High Definition foundation, which covers everything, but shows the texture of the skin. I don't want to look like I'm made of plastic.
COLD WEATHER FAVES: I'm really loving booties. I'm either doing an ankle or knee-high bootie. The mid-calf boot is boring and bland. I have about a thousand booties. I like to rock them with a little skirt for a cute school girl-inspired look. I'm also doing a lot of different biker-style jackets. Instead of the tweed jacket, I'll wear that to give my outfit edge. I just got a white cowl neck leather one with all these studs. I always put my rocker twist on all my fashion. In the summertime, I often look for tanks where the back is sheer or it's asymmetric on one side, and I layer them into the fall. I usually look for pieces that are different and unique in the structure and the details.
HOLIDAY FABULOUS: I'm not a fan of the velour or velvety looks during the holidays. But I love the jewel tops. Chanel was rocking a lot of wonderful jewel tones and they're adding the really deep gold—the gold that's happening this year has a little bit more bronze to it. It's not as cold as some of the golds are and I love that! You're going to see me in an emerald, really deep wine or deep sapphire dress this holiday season. Those are great colors and they're really smart for most people in the holidays. And, of course, you're jewelry should definitely be gold.

How To Prep My Pucker for NYE? | yohana

Woman Applying Lipstick
In case I get a kiss at midnight on New Years Eve, I want to make sure my pucker is perfectly prepped. Do you have any tips about the best kissable lipstick and how to make my lips smooth?
Get ready to pucker up buttercup, because NYE is this weekend! We assume you've already got your outfit and hair plans on lockdown, and now all that's left if prepping your pout. Let's be clear ladiesif you're not prepared, that dramatic kiss as the ball drops in the background is not gonna happen. So go ahead and use those extra days off work to whip your lips into shape with eco beauty expert,Paige Padgett's, tips to get the most kissable lips.
Exfoliate: Believe it or not, your lips look and feel lovely when they shed their top layer. Padgett has the best natural recipe to make your own scrub at home: "Mix raw sugar and coconut oil to a pasty consistency. Then gently rub the mixture in small circular motions," advises the beauty maven. Not only will the concoction buff your lips into a totally kissable state, but it won't hurt a thing if a little happens to get into your mouth. Oh, wait were you actually trying to eat the delicious mixture? We won't tell anyone!
Apply a mask: And you thought masks were just for your face—rookie mistake! Padgett sets the record straight with an easy blend of avocado and honey for the softest lips your guy ever had the pleasure of kissing. "Mix a quarter of an avocado with two tablespoons of honey, and mix into a paste. Smooth it onto your lips, and leave for 5 minutes. Rinse with warm water," says the expert. Sounds easy enough to us!
Kissable Color: "Before going to that swanky New Year's Eve party, apply your favorite color of lip gloss or lipstick," says Padgett, "I recommendRevolution Organics Freedom Gloss, because it's rich in vitamins and antioxidants, or Zuzu Luxe Lipsicks , which are gluten and lead free." The non-toxic, non-gooey formulas will be super inviting, not scary. After all, there's nothing worse than approaching a guy with ten pounds of sticky gloss on your lips. You want to kiss him, not get stuck to him!
Lastly, pop some mints and just try and resist the urge not to kiss and tell! With our secrets to scoring a kissable pout, it may be more than a little hard to keep your midnight dalliance to yourself!
