The Hottest Nail Trend in Hollywood is the Almond-Shaped Nails

The new trend in nail fashion this season is the almond shaped nails trend spotted on a couple of Holly wood celebs.From  Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens  to Kesha and Bella Thorne these celebs have been seen sporting the shape.
The sleek, rounded-off digits of dazzling lengths fingernails have also made their presence known in designers quarters like Kate Spade, Badgley Mischka, and Nicholas K have all showcased the delightful trend.
With the Almond shaped nails you can choose to have them in a plain color or do nail art on them. To achieve the almond shaped nails, the nail is filed away at the sides and softly pointed at the tip. This trend is nor for those who have really soft nails that may crack but you can file away the chipped parts to rectify it. Another disadvamtage of th almod shaped nails trend is tahat the shape does not allow nails to grow to their maximum length if the is what you are looking to achieve.
However everything has advantages and disadvantages therefore you can choose to rock this trend because it is in season and looks great with that feminine shape f an almond.

 When you are getting ready for the weekend, choose clothes that are lighter since the weekend is a time to relax and enjoy yourself.
The perfect outfit would be a pair of jeans whether skinny, distressed or simple, pair it with a chiffon blouse and booties or if heels are too much you can opt for flats and a cute bag. A scarf for a cold day would be great or a boyfriend jacket.

All the doubts I have seem to disappear

I have adored you all my life

All the beauty that I know

All the happiness I have experienced

Every breath that I have taken

Every hour spent searching

Has led me to this moment

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall 2013

"Jean Paul Gaultier took a turn to the wild side with his Fall 2013 Haute Couture collection. With models' hair twisted sky-high and painted with leopard spots, animal prints along with sculpted volume were the themes of the season. The overall effect had more than a nod and a wink to the '80s with Mugler-esque quilting on jackets, oversize shoulders that would look at home on Grace Jones, and patterned tights with every look.
Standouts include a cobalt leather dress with a wide belt and exaggerated hips and a frothy bridal trouser suit on Liu Wen."by Melessa Liebling-Goldberg...fashionologie.com

 "Jean Paul Gaultier Fall Couture – Feeling in a feline mood, French designer Jean Paul Gaultier sent out a collection of big cat inspired looks for his fall 2013 haute couture collection. Known for his sense of camp, Gaultier did not shy away from color nor print with his latest couture outing. Models strutted the catwalk in body-hugging silhouettes covered in spotted fur patterns and leopard print stockings.
Gaultier also found inspiration in the clowns of cinema, citing references such as “The Clowns” by Italian director Federico Fellini as well as David Bowie’s “Ashes to Ashes” music video. The circus influence can be seen in bright, circular patterns found on dresses, cone-shaped hats and over-exaggerated trouser proportions. Still, it’s not all fun and games; Gaultier’s attention to craftsmanship is evident by the impeccable embroidery and shapes presented." by Joanna...fashiongonerogue.com

Demi Lovato Stars in Fashion Magazine’s August Issue by Chris Nicholls

 

Fresh from causing major palpitations with her platinum-selling single “Heart Attack,” and smashing records with her fourth studio album—Demi Lovato graces the August cover of FASHION magazine. Photographed in sunny Los Angeles at Milk Studios, Lovato spoke to features editor Elio Iannacci on the highs and lows of her career as well as her views on songwriting, relationships and her return as a judge on X-Factor this fall. Here is a sneek peek of our cover story, which hits newsstands on July 8, 2013:

On dealing with double standards:
“Guys can be scandalous and not get any crap for it. In my song [“Something We’re Not”], I’m saying, ‘girls, have your fun—don’t let anyone let you feel bad about your actions. Ever.’
How moving to L.A. helped her transform:
“L.A. has opened my eyes. I learned that ignorance stood in the way of my insight. I wasn’t really being honest with the way I used to live.  I was pretending to be a role model during the day and turning into a wild child at night.”

How to pull off the Color Blocking trend for men...then Basics

Never has color been embraced like it has been in this 21st century. The color blocking trend is still holding strong on its own and even men have embraced it...well at least the brave who are not afraid of color in their lives. For this trend not to backfire on you, here are some basics of rocking the Color Blocking trend for men.

• Pick poppy, contrasting solids to emulate this season's boldest trend. Remember - strong colors, not pastels.
• Don't be afraid to pair clashing colors, but mix no more than four color ways in a single outfit.
• Go for primary and secondary colors over pastels.
• Spend big on colors you'll re-use, but go high-street for less perennial shades - try ASOS and Topman for bright orange and red shades.
• Don't forget your accessories - Prada, Hermès and Burberry have a great range of colored leather goods.
• Layer your look with lightweight summer knits.

At the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, Zuhair Murad found his inspiration in the woods as his Fall 2013 Couture collection is called "Enchanted Forest,” This was brought out in the many gowns that had decorations that looked like tree branches and roots.

The beading on the gowns resembled those plants that weave themselves around a tree or the moss that collects around trees. Embroidered around the cocktail dresses and some outfits were branches that stretched out creating a visually appeasing look that left enough to the imagination.

The colors were bright sleek and chic. Black has never seemed so sophisticated and classic the way it did on the gowns, cocktail dresses.
