I am SO uninspired by the denim looks served to us by the celebs this weekend. They just looked pretty wack (and normal) as a whole:

Ciara is in her new fave denim trend - gray jeans AND thigh-high boots...I'm soooo not feeling this and wish that she would stop with the boots.

Then, she participated in Revlon's 12th Annual Walk For Women in New York:


Ah, that's more like it!


Hmm, not really feeling Rih's choice of outfit to wear to Katsuya for dinner w/Jay-Z. The boyfriend jeans with the tank and secretary pumps??? Uh uh.


Khloe Kardashian definitely let her sister upstage her. To stick those jeans in those boots like that did nothing for her...or Giuseppe.


Halle gave a glimmer of hope as she was cute and casual as usual wearing a well-fitted pair. Now how is it that she always manages to look good whether she is being styled on the red carpet or if she's just running to the grocery store, and she now has to be responsible for dressing Nahla too? She is living proof that we can do better.


Surprisingly, Beyonce of all people gave us the most umph...maybe she's inspired by being in Prague..


And before anybody thinks poorly of me because I'm being hard on them and "celebrities are just like you and me," let me just tell you - they are NOT like you and me so don't go there. Unless you have designers sending you their latest and greatest fashions for free to boot, have access to a top stylist, and/or get paid on your image, they really aren't like you...at all.

Complex magazine conducted a poll titled Style War, to determine the best dressed rapper of 64 nominated (I can't even think of 5 whose styles are worth voting for). It came down to Kanye West and Jay-Z, and of course the winner was...KANYE! You can't really compare their style though. It would've been much more fun to compare two fashion-forward candidates such as Kanye and Andre 3000, but the public did the voting so apparently it was just a popularity contest although Kanye's controversial fashion won out. Here are some of their more recent looks:

Jay-Z:























































Kanye:






























Nuff said.

Apparently, some people have taken issue with Michelle Obama's high-end style. While volunteering at thee Capitol Area Food Bank for Feeding America, she was sighted wearing a pair of $540 Lanvin sneakers. Stylelist.com wants you to vote on whether or not the pricey footwear was inappropriate for the occasion. Needless to say, I think they should back off of her.

So apparently you CAN learn something from fictional tv and movies! I just had a flashback from the movie Boomerang (starring Eddie Murphy, Halle Berry, etc) upon reading WWD's article about Grace Jones who played the infamous character of Strange.

She was scheduled to perform Tuesday night a star-studded party on a boat at the South Street Seaport for the celebration at Matthew Williamson’s collaboration with H&M at approximately 10:30pm. After an hour had gone by with no Grace and 29 minutes left into the party, she made her entrance...:

"Suddenly, Jones was there, descending to the dance floor in a clear glass elevator, wearing a cape and a mask the shape of a butterfly. “And now, ladies and gentleman,” a voice said. “Heeeeere’s Grace.”

From there, the diva performed a four-song set featuring “Slave to the Rhythm,” “Pull up to the Bumper,” “La Vie En Rose” and “Williams’ Blood,” a track from her new album, “Hurricane.” There were costume changes between each song, another mask, which appeared to be battery operated — it had red lights that moved throughout it — and a bustier that could have asphyxiated a weaker celebrity. Just about everyone proclaimed to be impressed."

How I would've LOVED to see that! And I cannot believe that THAT is the body of a 60 year old. Tina Turner didn't look that good! Take notes ladies...I sure am!

Check out the article and more pictures from the event:
Grace Jones Wows at Williamson H&M Event - Lifestyle News - WWD.com:

Unless you've been living under a rock, I'm sure that by now you know that both tie-dyed and ripped jeans are in. Well J Brand has a pair that incorporates both trends into one pair - the Low-Rise Pencil Leg in Zombie. Its a gray and white tie-dye and the pencil leg makes it versatile for any type of shoe.

See Rihanna, Beyonce, and Ashley Tisdale wearing theirs in totally different ways:


I love me some of Rihanna's style, but I wish she would lay low on the hot trends for awhile because I am getting tired of having to put her in every post! Jeez!




I have to say that Beyonce's is my favorite look. It is light, springy, and feminine with some edge. And I LOVE that tank!

UPDATE:
Ok, now Ashanti has a pair too...I mean, was J Brand GIVING these jeans away?!

James Jeans provides a great fit for curvier girls with hips and thighs so hurry because the sale ends tomorrow at 11:59 pm!!!
