Fashionista of the Week: Ijeoma

SayWhatNews fashionista of the week is Ijeoma. Ijeoma knows that one of her best assets is her long slender legs at which she knows how to use as an accessory. Ijeoma proudly showcases her legs whether she is wearing a skirt or skinny jeans and some fabulous pair of heels.

Here's what she had to say about her style:

" Three words that describe my personal style are casualfeminine and flirty. I love to dress up a comfortable pair of skinny jeans with a v-neck tee shirt and accent the outfit with a pair of gorgeous heels! To me, less is more! A casual and simple outfit that is beautifully accessorized with the right shoes and jewelry is perfect. While keeping my look is casual, I love to be feminine and wear skirts and dresses with the right pair of heels!

Well, Ijeoma keep doing your thing girl because you look fierce.

Milan Men's Fashion Week Mixes Chic with Sports and Military Themes

photos: fashion daily

Men's fashion week in Milan, Italy over the weekend featured a chic mixed with sports and military themed collections.

- Emporio Armani showcased chic tailored looks with high-tech sportswear for their Fall 2010 Men Collection. The models walked the runway with snowboards wearing the athletic chic fashions and well tailored looks which were reminisce of Armani's known style.

This collection showcased what's to come since Reebok signed a global licensing deal with Armani Fashion House to produce a major footwear line. Look for the debut this Fall when the line hits the shelves of Armani's chain of Emporio stores and Reebok's network stores.

- Burberry Prorsum celebrates something heroic with their 2010 Fall Men's Collection during Men's Fashion Week in Milan. The collection was based off of photos of famed pilots John Alcock and Arthur Brown. The models wore chic looks with an edge, that would be worn after battle. The chic after battle wear truly made you want to become a war hero.

- Bottega Veneta Men's Collection hit the runway with confusion according to fashion critics. The collection seemed to have two themes as it was divided into two halves - the opening all about hipster militarism and the finale devoted to Teddy Boy poseurs and posh punks. The clothes looked great but the non-cohesiveness collection sometimes looked foolish –and not totally thought through. I guess they need to watch Project Runway during Fashion Week at Bryant Park. They always push the idea to the designers that their collection should flow together from the beginning to the end.

Must Have of the Week: Infinity Scarf

SayWhatNews must have of the week is the infinity scarf. I know its time to speak about Spring/Summer/Fall fashion collections but in some places (like where I live) its still winter time and we are fighting those cold and chilly days. The infinity scarf is the perfect twist on the sometimes boring scarf for those fashionistas out there who must stay stylish at all times even when they are all bumbled up. This scarf is perfect because it will keep you warm outside and keep you looking fierce on the inside when you remove your coat. There is always an alternative to those needed items that make us look like everyone else.

A. Rubbish Button Scarf available at www.nordstrom.com for $20

B. Juicy Couture Luxe Cable Knit Scarf available at www.shopbop.com for $175

C. Echo Double Infinity Scarf available at www.bloomingdales.com for $48

Maria Sharapova Hits the Tennis Court with a Fashion Oops

Maria Sharpanova hits the tennis court at the Austrailian Open wearing a big fashion Oops. Not only did she lose to Maria Kirilenko, she was the talk of day one at the Australian Open for her choice in Nike fashion. The Russian tennis star looked a hot mess wearing a chiffon dress which look to be the accessory to the Nike tennis dress.

Look what everyone said about the fashion oops:

Busted Racquet: "The chiffon-thingy makes her look like The Little Mermaid circa 1968. Either that or Lillian Gish."

Busted Racquet's fashion plate friend: "It's bad camo negligee."

Forty Deuce: "I'm thinking it was cross-marketing."

Opponent Maria Kirilenko: "It was blue, I think, like POWERade."

Selected reaction from Twitter: @paulavergara: "I'm guessing Sharapova signed off on her dress design over the phone/sight unseen."

@GoToTennis: "As much as I hate Sharapova being upset in the first round - I'm relieved that her dress is out of the tournament."

@ant_cee "Sharapova's AusOpen dress looks like she got caught in some curtains en route to the court."

@exodusrex: "uhm...i was pulling for sharapova tonight, but there's 1 upside to her loss: i don't have to see that dress again."

@alejrocha: "She crashed into a peacock."

@TruBlu: "that hideous dress was a portent of things to come."

Joan Rivers Returns to Red-Carpet & Fashion Police

Its about time: Joan River returns to cover the Red-carpet and Fashion Police for E! News. The iconic comedian will bring back her spice to the red-carpet by hosting "Fashion Police" red-carpet specials tied to major awards events in 2010. She'll be joined by fellow E! personalities Khloe Kardashian Odom, Giuliana Rancic and Jay Manuel. Rivers' daughter Melissa will have a producer credit.

Her big return will debut Monday, Jan. 18, for a Golden Globes special, and then a SAG Awards special on Jan. 24. The new shows differ from Rivers' previous coverage for the network, running the day after events rather than airing live from the red carpet.

"Joan is a true entertainment icon and one of the funniest people in Hollywood," said Lisa Berger, E!'s executive vp of entertainment programming. "We are extremely excited to have her back at E!"

Here is a little idea of what to expect:

I guess this is why E! will air the show the day after and not live from the red-carpet.

Rihanna graces the cover of W magazine's February issue with a sexy white cut dress from Gucci 2010 Spring Collection. Rihanna wearing this dress is a perfect example of how hot one can look in a outfit off the runway.

In the interview with W, Rihanna speaks again about Chris Brown, her new album and her skit on SNL about domestic violence.

On the tone of Rated R: “This was a different type of record for me. . . . It was really personal; it was from me in the most authentic way. It’s like a movie in that when I was making this album, every day I was in a different mood. Sometimes I was p*ssed off, sometimes I was miserable, and every song brings out a different story.!”

Angelina Jolie Says She is Really A Blonde

Angelina Jolie says she is really a blonde. The sexy siren admits that she has been dying her hair dark since she was four years old.

The actress says that her late mother Marcheline Bertrand started the dying her hair at a young age because she didn't like the color of Jolie's hair.

Jolie tells German magazine Das Neue, "My natural color is dark blonde. But when I was four or five, my mother dyed my hair dark brown, and she decided to keep it that way. And I stuck with that."

Now at age 34, Jolie admits she has been doing ever since.

** Jolie has been dropped as St. John's spokes-model. The label is dismissing her since she "overshadowed" the brand, St. John's CEO tells WWD.

“We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette.”

Model Karen Elson is the new face of St. John's and she is a red-head.

H&M and Walmart Throw Away New Clothes

H&M and Wal-mart throw away new clothes that never get purchased. The New York Times reports that both H&M and Wal-Mart throw out unused clothing that never get purchased. What sense does this make, you ask? Well they think they have a good reason for doing such a stupid thing when there are millions of people in need of clothes and shoes in the world who are homeless or just can't afford clothes. They want to make sure that, after they throw stuff out, people can't wear or resell the clothes. So this is their reasoning for destroying.

How items are destroyed and then thrown away: the items are destroyed by cutting holes in them with machines. If they're dealing with a pair of shoes, they go to the trouble of cutting the insoles so you can't wear them. Puffy jackets are slashed across the body and the arms are cut off.

Here is an idea, donate the clothes to organizations who help people in need.

The Runway Meets The Red-Carpet

photos: redcarpet fashion awards

This year 2010 People Choice Awards fashions were somewhat disappointing. All though there were a variety of beautiful dresses worn on the red-carpet, there wasn't anything that stood out and WOW'ed me. So, for this event there is no Best Dressed. I looked hard and did not find anyone who deserved to be arrested by the fashion police.
