Gap in the headlines again: Mannequins to skinny?

             There has been complaints about how the mannequins look anorexic at GAP stores lately. I have noticed that every time I go to the stores at the mall the mannequins do look skinnier and skinnier. I don't mind them looking skinny or an average person because they want the outfit portrayed as what they want the outfit to actually look like BUT having them being anorexic does not show off the outfits well. I think it is ridiculous when they put a small or medium shirt or pant on the mannequin and they have to put safety pins in the back to make the shirt/pant tighter because it was so large before. Some stores the mannequins aren't average but they aren't anorexic either and I still enjoy looking at the outfits on the mannequin. Seeing them on a non-anorexic mannequin shows me what it could look on myself. I think its wrong having mannequins so small because everyone especially teenagers feel like they have to look a specific way due to pictures on magazines and the celebrities/models. We some times don't feel comfortable in stores in the first place and when you walk in and see a mannequin that is 7 sizes smaller then you, you don't feel as comfortable. My personal feeling what is yours?

Who is the new duo pair in fashion?

        The new fashion duo pair is Gap and Valentino in creating a womanswear collection that will debut in November. Valentinos creative designers (Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli) took Gap's clothing into the fashion house's aesthetic. Chuiri and Piccioli told WWD that they are excited to put Gap and Valentino together because it puts luxury and basic together, making the clothing trendy. The president of Gap Europe is thrilled to be welcomed by the house of Valentino because of the Italy's fashion heritage that they have and the designers are very modern and will have a fresh take on women's style. This collection will hit the big fashion cities such as Milan, London and Paris but unfortunately not in the United States. I think this is incredibly that a fashion chain store (Gap) combines with a couture but trendy Valentino designs. I hope that some day this will come to America to bring this fashion couture to the Gap stores here. How do you feel about the combination?

Who wore the outfit the best?

                 Lauren scott (left) and jennifer lawerence (right) got 
            caught wearing the same dress on the red carpet. Who 
            wore it better? This is a tough one due to both of them look
            stunning in the dress for different reasons. Usually there 
            is a winner but I can't decide on this one. What do you think?

      Eva Longoria (left) and Kim Kardashian (right) got caught

wearing the same gorgeous blue dress on the red carpet. 

  They both look drop-dead gorgeous and it's hard to decide who 

       wore it best. I might have to give it to Kim because she has to

          curves that look great in this dress and the style of her hair 

looks amazing.

                      Who wore it best? Alexa Chung(left) or Blake Lively

                 (right) during the Chanel show... I am going with Blake 

                 Lively. I am not a huge fan of this dress in the first place

                 but I think the dress fits better on Blake and looks great

                 on her with the nude heels instead of flats.

                   Im Su Jeong, Yeum Jeong Ah, Kim So Eun and SNSD's

                Jessica all got caught wearing the same dress in the 

                span of 3 months. This is crazy having four people wear

               the same dress. I think Jessica looks cute in this dress 

               and it fits her body well; with the hair and shoes it looks

               great on her.

                         I was shocked to see all four of these celebrities 

                  wearing the same dress. From left to right: Rhianna, 

                  Paris Hilton, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Demi Lovato.. 

                  who wore it best? This is hard since the all look great

                 and sexy in this dress. Rhianna probably looks the best 

                 but I like how Julia spiced it up with a black blazer and 

                 nude heels..I think that looks amazing.

                Katherine Heigl (left) and Selena Gomez (right) looks 

            absolutely stunning in this dress. Katherine looks great

             but Selena looks sexy with the nude heels, shorter dress, 

            and long curly hair. I gave this to Selena Gomez.

                Same dress, different colors.. who wore it best? Juliette 

           Lewis, Scarlett Johansson or Christina Aguilera? My favorite 

          is probably Scarlett Johansson because I like the skinny black 

          belt added on the green dress with black heels.

Worst dress at Teen Choice Awards?

The not so best of the nights.. 

                   Tyra Banks is the new cat women? I dont think so,
             sorry Tyra you have a great body but this is the choice 
             for an outfit for the Teen Choice Awards; not the greatest
             choice. It's an award show not a movie with Halle Berry 
                                          movie..

                 Fergie looks like she is trying to figure out if it's day 
            time or night with this dress. The dress looks great on 
            her but the color and design? I don't know if she is trying
             to look like a kid for the Teen Choice Awards.

             Ashley Greene is it a dress or a shirt and skirt? This 
          outfit  doesn't even look good together because she has
          a great body but the shirt isn't flattering, the skirt is way
          to long especially matched up with the ankle wrapped heels.

                Kourtney Kardashian what were you thinking? 

                          This is a half night gown that isn't even shaped 

                           to her body. The dress doesn't even flow it's a 

                           bad choice of a dress especially for Kourtney.

         Demi Lovato has been looking great lately 

                        but I'm questioning the choice of this dress.

                        The cut doesn't even look like it was cut straight,

                         she was trying to be a little to "Sunny (Sonny) 

                        with a Chance" with the bright yellow every where.

       Rachel Bilson looked like a cloud and a night gown

                     put together. Not sure exactly what this dress choice 

                                             was.

                       Elizabeth Banks looked like she was ready to go on

                    motorcycle with the tight, red, short leather dress with

                    a random ruffle in the front. I will say this was not a 

                    good look for her.

                   Kat Graham was the worst dress for me. I dont even

                know what this was, with the embellishments and the 

                fabric coming out of the shoulder pads. NO CLUE WHAT 

                THIS WAS.

Who was best dressed at the Teen Choice Awards?

My favorites of the night were....

                  Taylor Swift who wore Rafael Cennamo and Ranjana 
               Khan.The white dress  was elegant but still cute and 
               was a perfect choice for the Teen Choice awards; where 
               you shouldn't be to sexy. It fit her great and was a 
                good choice for T-Swift.

                      Blake Lively looked sexy in her yellow skin tight 
                   dress by Gucci. The dress fit her body great and 
                   her hair looked good with the dress. It is sexy 
                   maybe little to sexy for Teen Choice Awards, but I 
                  think she looks great  and can rock this dress
                  anywhere.

  

                    Raven Symone hasn't been in the picture for a 
                 little and she comes to the Teen Choice Awards
                 looking better then she ever has. She has lost weight
                 and looks fab! I like this outfit because it is different 
                 from everyone else; it isn't a dress but it's still classy 
                 and gorgeous on Raven. This outfit is "That's so Raven".

                Shay Mitchell from Pretty Little Liars looked amazing in 
              her pink shirt and skirt at the Teen Choice Awards. The 
              outfit is perfectly placed together, I love the black ribbon 
              on the skirt to tie in the black heels. This outfit is 
              gorgeous and she look very put together from head to toe.

                     Ashley Benson on the left in the green and Lucy Hale 
                 on the right looked stunning in their dresses. They both 
                 have totally different designs and they both look great. 
                 The green dress looks great against Ashley's skin tone 
                 with the coolest design on the dress. While Lucy looks
                 sexy in the black and white dress that fits her to the
                  tee.

               Troian Bellisaro from Pretty Little Liars looked so elegant
            and stunning.This dress layed perfectly on her body and
            made her look so elegant. Nothing else to say but this was
            an amazing dress and looked great on Troian.

                   Kim Kardashian looked fabulous ( like always) in her
                feather skirt. This outfit looked amazing on her and she 
                rocked it at the Teen Choice Awards.

                      

                Selena Gomez rocked her tan and white dress by Erin 
             during the Teen Choice Awards. Selena looks jaw-dropping
             gorgeous, the dress fits her perfect. Her hair falls perfectly
             with the dress. This might be my absolute favorite!
