Who wore it better?

5 Outfits. 2 Celebs. Same Dress. who wore it better...
Jessica Alba (Left) and Hellen Mirren both pulled this dress of well but i will have to go with Hellen on this on because she was able to accesorize the dress well and we love the leather jacket finish.


Nonhle Thema (left) and Kim Kardashian both wore this sexy Brian Lichtenberg dress on the red carpet. Nonhle wore it to the promotion of her show "Nonhle goes to Hollywood" while Kim K wore it to her birthday celebration in 2009. My verdict: nonhle rocks it better, but Kim K accessorized it better.


Beyonce (left) and model Eva were both spotted in 2006 wearing the same Valentino gown. Beyonce's pink gown is well accessorized and compliments her femine curves but Eva looks gorgeous in the green gown so my pick on this one: EVA!

Shakira (left) and P!NK wore the exact same frock to the VMAs here. While Shakira chose to wear it with sexy black boots, P!nk opted for black stilletos. Shakira definately wears it better, Yes?
Jada Pinkett Smith and Kirstin Dunst. both kept it simple with this dress but clearly Kirstin got a size too big while Jada's flatters her petite figure. We love it!

We don't care much about what she does behind closed doors, what matters to us is what she looks like when she leaves that door and she never disappoints. This is what deserves her the number two position.

Animal print can be very sexy, seductive, feisty and hot (provided that it is worn right) but dont be scared to try out all patterns and colours because it can also be very fun. Just follow our tips and you should be setting trends everywhere.

Here's my pic of the week:
Keri Hilson's Dolce and Gabbana animal print ensamble that she wore to the Pre-Grammy Gala party for Clive Davis. Would you ROCK IT? OR KNOCK IT?

COLOUR BLOCKING: its a trend!

This is definitely not a new trend but it is back and even bigger this time. Colour blocking is combing different (loud) colours that compliment each other. This trend throws out the old fashion myth that " you cannot wear more than two primary or secondary colours at the same time. well... fashion fundis everywhere say ' yes you can' so now one question lies... are you bold enough to try it? if so here are a few tips:
