Concert Tour Style - Beyoncé

1 comments


This is the second segment of my Concert Tour Style! This week, we are going to look at Ms. Beyoncé Knowles! :) These outfits are from her 2009 tour.


I love this outfit she has for her tour! Very simple, but it has beautiful designs on it! :) If you like this, try getting a tight cute black sweater dress with sparkly jewelery!


This one is very similar to Britney's gold metal outfit! All of the main popstars tend to have similar outfits! I love it though; with her curves, it totally works. Again, if you wanted the look, you could get a gold top that showed your cleavage like that...or you could get a pretty gold bathing suit for the beach!


A very wearable outfit for sure! Many dresses like this, or you can get a shirt and tuck it into a pencil skirt. Works for 'work' or for school. Anywhere. Love this look!


Definitely my favourite costume she has! Very MJ or Janet Jackson, eh? I love it. Not exactly wearable, but a very fun Halloween costume for sure.

Beyoncé tends to use a lot of outfits that are similar to the one-piece bathing suit which shows off her long toned legs and her incredible figure in general. She also loved glitter and sparkles, which looks great on stage, but can also look good on simpler outfits! So check it out, or find some fun bathing suits, haha!

Miley Cyrus Inspired Hairstyle

Who doesn't love Miley Cyrus's hair? It's simply, well, awesome! I found this video of a girl who seems to have got the look and has done a tutorial. Check it out! =]

Concert Tour Style - Britney Spears

0 comments


I thought it would be fun to do segments on Concert Tour Styles. Are they wearable for everyday life...or are these just 'runway' styles and can only be worn as a performer or a model? Depending on the artist, it really depends. Let's look and see at our featured artist this week, Britney Spears.

I am just focusing on her 'Circus' Tour this time, but I will definitely add some segments on her past tours as well. She is always sexy on the stage, so let's see what she has been wearing this year.


Hmmmm, well...this one is not exactly appropriate to wear to school or as 'casual' wear, haha, but the boots are definitely wearable. To get this look, I'd suggest buying a gold one-piece bathing suit or a gold skin tight t-shirt with perhaps a black jacket to go over top with leggings and black boots! The other way to do something similar would be to get a little gold dress with leggings or not and wear boots or black flats.


For this look, you are probably going to have to stick to lingerie...but that's okay! What's wrong with having a sexy outfit like that for Mr. Right?


This reminds of girl guides or scouts. There are many cute fall jackets that have that 'cargo' look that you can pair with some jeans or a jean skirt to be even sexier. Then add some cute boots or flats, and you're set!


This one is tricky... There are outfits like this to buy no doubt, but you probably wouldn't want to wear them! I suggest getting a cute headband like Britney's, even one with some sparkles on it, clothes in general with some kind of sparkle or glitter! Little golden flats are cute, and so are very sparkly necklaces.


Ahh, finally, the true 'Ringmaster' outfit. I suppose you could wear this out, like Paula Abdul did on David Letterman, but I'd suggest getting a little military jacket with similar buttons and cute boots.


Soooo...the verdict? I would say unwearable. Most of Britney's outfits are 'costumes' and not everyday outfits. You can take bits and pieces from each costume though and build your own cute outfit. You may want to wear pants with your outfits too! Haha, because most of her outfits she is wearing shiny undies! =] But hey, take a look at some of her stage styles and see if you can create your own look!

World Fashion - Ayumi Hamasaki

0 comments


I thought that it would be fun to talk about fashionistas around the globe, not just in North America! I really love Japan, and one of the biggest pop icons there is Ayumi Hamasaki. If you do not know anything about 'Ayu', let me share some basic info!


Ayumi Hamasaki swarmed by paparazzi, similar to stars in the US!


Ayumi Hamasaki is one of the best selling artists in Japan having sold over 50 million albums. She was also the first female singer to have eight studio albums since her debut to top the Oricon and the first artist to have an album debut at number one for 11 consecutive years! She is known for having an interesting style sense and has won many awards for her appearance and not just for her talent as a musician. When people think of J-Pop (what Japanese pop music is called), they think of Ayu (as her fans like to call her). It is not hard to find her when picking up an issue of Vogue Japan or watching a cellphone commercial or a car commercial; she promotes everything! Even lingerie! Another interesting fact is that in 2006 she was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease which caused her to become deaf in one ear. Despite the loss of half of her hearing, she still continues to write music and tour all across Asia every year.


Her tours are very elaborate with huge sets, fire, dancers, and even Ayu flying in the air.


I decided to talk about Ayumi Hamasaki because I felt that she is a major icon in the other side of the world, so why not share her fashion with you! She is so famous in Asia, but not in North America and there are artists that are famous in Russia that are famous there or in Italy that are not famous in North America, yet so many people in the world know about them and look at them as style icons.

Here are some pictures of Ayumi Hamasaki showing off her fabulous style!


She can always be found in magazines rocking out the latest trends!


She'll go from having short hair...


...to having very long curls! She also is known to have her hair from black to blonde!


Flashing the paparazzi a grin while wearing very high heels and a cute retro dress!


I just really love this outfit! It's so cute for travelling, and I love boots!


Many refer to Ayumi Hamasaki as the 'Britney Spears' of Japan.


Well there you have it. I love Ayumi Hamasaki, she is fabulous. Her music is great and she is a phenomenal performer!

Here is a video from her 2008 Asia Tour that I think you guys will like or at least think is kind of interesting! It also gives you a feel for why people call her the Britney Spears of Japan.



If you really like her, look her up! She's got lots of music as she's released a new album every year for the past 10 years! I hope you guys enjoyed this as I thought it would be a little different! I am also going to do more posts on foreign fashion icons! :]

What Shirt Should I Wear Wear With My _______?

0 comments
Alrighty, this will definitely be an 'interesting' post! =] This post will cover which styles of t-shirts to wear with different bottoms and also, which sizes are best to buy! I have a few things that I would like to cover on this...so here it goes!

Which Size Should I Get?

Well, most people know approx. what size of shirts to get. If you are very petite, you are obviously not going to be looking in the XXL section...however, many girls want to lose weight and are not happy with their bodies and buy the size they WANT and not the size that looks BEST for their body. If you continuously buy the size that is too small and the size that you WISH you were, you won't be encouraged to lose the weight you want to, and you won't look very good. If a 'medium' looks better than the 'small', don't buy the small! It's as simple as that!

Tip #1: Don't look at the size of the item, just look at the item itself. Pick up the shirt and put it up to your body, if it looks like it will fit...try it on! Don't me mad if it is a 'small' and you're usually an 'extra small'.

Tip #2: Remember that all brands of clothing size differently. Just because you are an 'XS' at Abercrombie & Fitch, doesn't mean you are going to be that with an American Apparel shirt. I have a lot of clothes and they don't go from XS to XL, but they do very from XS to S to M, whatever. Every store is different.

Tip #3: When you buy clothes that are too small for you, they are uncomfortable, sometimes shrink even more (so now you can't wear them at all), and do not look flattering.

Tip #4: Sometimes girls buy clothes that are too big for them which is also not a good idea. It's OK to buy shirts that over sized in a trendy way, buy to constantly buy clothes that are baggy and hide your figure is not cool either! Girls do it to 'hide' their figure...but it makes them stand out even more. When you buy clothes that fit, life is alot easier!!!

What Styles of Shirts go with my skinny jeans or my baggy sweats, etc?

If you can pull off a tight graphic tee, or just a plain white t-shirt that is kind of tight...wear it! Tight t-shirts look good with all bottoms. If you have a tight tank top, it always looks good with baggy sweats, skinny jeans and boots, flats, Uggs etc, boot cut or flared jeans with heels, or Converse, and jean skirts or shorts with flip flops or flats (even boots too!). Honestly, anything works. I have soooo many t-shirts that go with all of my pants and shorts.

Now, then there are more dressy shirts that you can wear that are not skin tight. You can get empire waist shirts that flow out where your tummy is so that you do not see any 'flaws'. Also, wearing longer 'shirts' with a belt is super cute too and they can be longer. With longer shirts, I like skinny jeans with boots or flats, or you can wear leggings with boots.

If you have a track suit, wearing a fun t-shirt underneath it and having it be a little bit too long looks cute too so you can see the two colours together.

T-shirts that are a little bit too long look cute with short shorts because you wear them just so you can see a little bit of your shorts, which is really cute and sexy! Also, wearing long t-shirts (baggy or tight) with leggings is the best because you get to show off your curves, but in a more modest way. You aren't showing tons of skin, but you still get to show off your legs! Plus I love the baggy pullovers from American Apparel because, not only are they comfortable, but they are super cute with soooo many different types of shoes.

Honestly, I can only write so much, you have to go and try things on to suit your body. Everyone is different and all brands are different, especially jeans. You might be a 25 with one brand, a 24 with another, and then a 27 with another! Buy clothes that fit your body NOW not what you want your body to be...because you may never lose the weight, or gain the weight, whatever. Live in the moment. It will only boost your confidence even more.

Here are some various celebs wearing t-shirts with various bottoms and in different ways! (and yes, I use Miley Cyrus alot because I LOVE her style! She always looks cute!)


Miley Cyrus
I love this top because it's long, but it's not a 't-shirt' which gives it a dressy feel. It's full of colour and even though it's long, it doesn't just hang there, it fits and hugs your curves! ♥


Jessica Alba
This t-shirt is really long but because she's wearing it with boyfriend jeans, it gives the slouchy look some glam! And the scarf really adds to the outfit! Very cute!


Miley Cyrus
Wearing a tight plain shirt (especially white because it goes with anything) is the best investment! In the summertime, take advantage of the weather and wear it with short shorts, whether it is with boots or flip flops...very cute.


Hilary Duff
This shirt has a design, like the shirt of Miley's a few above, but it appears to flow out even more. Having shirts like these are great because they give a slimming look especially if you are a bigger girl. The don't hug your body, but they do enough to be simply fabulous!


Vanessa Hudgens
With this, get two t-shirts, one that's a little long, perhaps a bigger size, and cover it with a smaller sized t-shirt with a graphic on it. It's very cute, especially with the Uggs like Vanessa has on. You can do the double t-shirt thing with almost anything, this is just one example. You can even do the opposite. Wear a really tight shirt and then put a baggy on over top of it! Very cute!


Miley Cyrus
Simple, yet sooooo cute. Get yourself a good pair of sweatpants and wear a fitted white tank with them! Best part is, you can still wear a baggy hoodie or a baggy shirt and it still looks cute.


Selena Gomez
I love this look because it isn't hard to do and it is really cute. You just need a nice 'shirt' and a skinny or a fat belt to wrap around the shirt, and voila! You are done! Just pair it with some leggings or skinny jeans with some boots and you're set!


Vanessa Hudgens
Here we have a t-shirt and jeans, but instead, the t-shirt is quite loose and almost covers the entire pair of shorts! It's almost like a reallllly mini dress, but you're still wearing shorts so no worries!

There ya go, if you have any questions, leave a comment! :) But yeah, that's my rant on t-shirt styles and sizes. My closing comments really are just buy what looks good on you. Just because it looks good on Paris Hilton, doesn't mean it will look good on you and vice versa! Just because it looks good on you...doesn't mean it will look good on Paris Hilton! Buy for YOU.

Awesome Boots for Fall!

0 comments
I absolutely love boots, probably my favourite kind of shoes! They are especially popular among the stars in every style, shape, and form. Name any celeb, and you can easily find them in boots! The best part is, depending on where you look, you can totally find cute boots, especially for autumn that go with dresses, shorts, leggings, and jeans. They keep you warm (especially with Uggs!!!) and are very trendy! They can also spice up an outfit instantly. If you have just a hoodie and jeans...instead of wearing it with Converse Chuck Taylors or sneakers, wear it with boots that match! Boots can really transform a drab outfit into something very cute and stylish. You can take the most simple outfits and turn them into very cute and trendy ones.

Check out these celebs wearing boots with jeans and how much it adds to the outfit!




Emily Osment


Miley Cyrus wearing Steve Madden which happen to be AMAZING boots! I have these and they go with almost all of my outfits. Invest in a good pair of Steve Maddens because they are affordable (well...they're not like $50, but they're not $600 either).

Honestly, go to the mall and go to all the shoe stores. You are bound to find a good deal or something for a great price and that is super cute! I live in Canada and can think of alot of stores that I don't think are in the United States...and I am not sure how many Canadians are looking at this! haha, but online websites are great for finding shoes as long as you KNOW it fits! I suggest going into a store first hand, trying on the shoes you want and then finding them on an online store, like
Revolve Clothing for instance, and getting them at a cheaper price. Even check out clothing stores that will sometimes sell boots because hey, they might just be the ones! I have gotten cute boots for cheap prices at places like Payless that could pass as a much more expensive boot. If you wear clothes that look good with boots that are even $30, you can get a great look!

Have fun finding boots and creating fabulous outfits!

Who Said You Can't Wear White After Labor Day?

0 comments
Everyone says that you can't wear white after labor day...but until when...and well, why? Who cares! As long as it is done tastefully. If it is really snowy or muddy outside...then don't wear your white boots and white pants! But if it is a gorgeous September day...why not wear those white pants you love so much!

Here are some celebs who decided to wear white after L-Day and broke the 'rule'! =)


Paris Hilton wearing an all white track suit!


Christina Aguilera wearing all white...even a white cane!?


Heidi Montag wearing white boots.


Rihanna wearing a long white winter coat.


So there you have it. You can still wear white...maybe not all white, haha, but go for it. Wear what YOU want to wear and what looks good on YOU. Have fun!

Back to School Hoodies!

0 comments
With school just starting up again, sometimes you just don't feel like putting together a fabulous outfit, and instead, throw a hoodie on. The best part is, you can still wear hoodies and look great! They are comfortable for going to school, youthful, and very fun!

Check out these stars who all look different, although they are still wearing hoodies! Miley wore hers with jeans and boots to dress up the look, while Ashley wore sweats and Uggs for ultimate comfort! All different, and all cute!!!
