Fabu vs. Faboo Looks of the Day: Almost 50

It is absolutely crazy to me that Kelly Preston and Michelle Pfieffer are both pushing 50. They both look absolutely incredible for their age. I have to say though KP's outfit at the Hairspray premiere was not flattering to her body at all and her hairstyle only adds to the ouch factor. MP on the other hand looks flawless in her cream tube dress with pockets (my fave). Forty and Fabu!

My ever damaged hair is in desperate need of some TLC.

Celeb Gone Fashion Designer: Jennifer Lopez's Sweetface

Jennifer Lopez has moved swiftly from fly girl to fashionista in her long career. She now is often featured as one of the uber couture wearing celebs on many a red carpet. Her first foray into fashion designing was JLo by Jennifer Lopez is a brand owned by Warnaco Group. According to some sources, her JLo line is the most successful of any artists to date. This line is sold at department stores such as Macys and often is featured in the Juniors department.

Still the JLo line never seemed very conducive to her couture wardrobe and in November 2003, Lopez launched the high end line “Sweetface”. Debuting at New York fashion week among such names as Zac Posen and Marc Jacobs, Lopez easily nestled her way into the runway scene. To date, the frequent use of fur in the Sweetface line has brought the scorn of people concerned with animal rights, particularly PETA. Still, JLo has found her footing in the high end fashion world yet not seen as strong commercial success that she did with her JLo line.

Bad Hair Moment: Christina Ricci

I just stumbled across this picture of Miss Ricci with a very blunt new bob cut and realized despite my previous musings about how great short hair is that it is a tricky tricky move to make. And here my friends is the perfect example of short hair going horribly wrong.
