Stand Up And Lace Up To Military Style For Winter 2013

A little military-inspired style will earn you 5 stars***** in the world of fashion this winter.

And no....You don't have to dress up like a full-fledged paratrooper to make your style statement. Just an awesome, kick-butt pair of urban combat boots will get you noticed.

Celebrities like Jessica Alba and Nicky Hilton like to complement their miltary booties  with sleek black leggings or classic skinny jeans.

You CAN spend hundreds of $$$ on the perfect combat boot, or you CAN spend less than $20 for a nice vegan leather pair with gold studs.

We found a pair of Brown Faux Leather Lace Up Studded Combat Boots at AmiClubwear on SALE for $32.99! Add the PROMO CODE--- 40SALE0107, and pick up these combat boots for LESS than $20!! That's right---for $19.79, to be exact.

The wonderful thing about military-inspired clothing + accessories is the concept of function and durability. These army boots can take you many miles and stand up to all the meanness the streets have to offer in the way of weather, grime, obstacles, and so forth.

Plus.....these army combat boots rock!!.

There's something sexy about the lace-up rugged boot.

Semper fi, ladies!

New Cellulite Treatment For Battling Bumpy Dimpled Fat In 2013

We always look forward to a new year, because brand new beauty products begin to pop up on store shelves. And at the moment, we are excited about a Swiss cellulite cream that Saks Fifth Ave. is introducing.

No, it isn't cheap, but then again, most strong beauty formulas are not. In fact, Saks printed this little statement below the $219 pricetag for Cellcosmet Cellulite-XT-M:

DUE TO HIGH DEMAND, A CUSTOMER MAY ORDER NO MORE THAN 6 UNITS OF THIS ITEM EVERY THIRTY DAYS. 

What's so amazing about this expensive cellulite cream?

The unique formula is excellent for ALL ages + skin types. Plus, the ingredients are very advanced in the way of beauty science, including phyto-and bio- complexes.

..."This cutting-edge, maintenance treatment cream directly attacks the causes of cellulite. Its bio-active complex with soja phyto-sterols:
•Helps keep enzyme responsible for cellulite under control
 •Helps prevent production of fatty lumps
•Leaves skin restructured, smoothed, strengthened
•Hypoallergenic, formulated to minimize risk allergic reactions."

We have all learned that cellulite is normal and on MOST female bodies. The bad news is that you CANNOT get rid of cellulite permanently....BUT---you CAN prevent the dimpled fat from getting worse, and you CAN prevent new cellulite from forming.

And hopefully, this is what Cellcosmet aims to do.

Proof In The Pudding For 'Mob Wives' Star Drita D'Avanzo

We can't wait for Vh-1's 'Mob Wives' reality show to return for a brand new season this Sunday night!

We find this addictive and entertaining, and it's probably the least scripted of the housewives shows. At least we like to think so.

These girls are for real and they hold nothing back. The stars also seem to get a bad rap by some people.

Today, we're looking at 'Mob Wives' star Drita D'Avanzo and the performance nutrition company she has joined to help out a deserving charity called 'Single But Not Alone.'

Drita and MHP are promoting a '8-Hour Alert energy supplement,' and yummy! 'Fit & Lean Power Pak Pudding.'

The pudding not only tastes really delicious, but it's a high-protein, low-carb winner!

Plus....a portion of the profits will benefit Drita's charity.

You can buy the products at GNC and Rite-Aid stores, as well as here, at mhp.com for $26.94.

Good going, Drita!

Distressed Skinny Jeans Like Style Icon Gwyneth Wears

  Let's all get SKINNY in 2013, and you don't have to diet for this one!

We consider actress Gwyneth Paltrow to be a very stylish woman, so if she's into distressed skinnies, then it's okay for the rest of us.

The mama-of-two looks HOT in these worn jeans. And if you desire the exact pair the flaxen-haired beauty is in, you can check out the photo below.




Those are the R13 Skinny Jean from La Garconne ($325). A lovely skinny with sexy stretch with whiskering and a vintage blue wash.

If you don't have Gwyneth's Hollywood budget, you can get a similar distressed pair of skinnies from Joe's Jeans at Macy's for $179.



These are low-rise with great distressed details through the leg.

And the 3rd pair of skinny jeans is even more budget-friendly, coming in at $39.99 from AmericanEagleOutfitters.

These are also a glam pair of skinny jeans with the same worn-in features and whiskering with lots of stretch.

Now, if we could only hunt down Gwyneth's adorable pink booties!

3-stripes and you're in for 2013!!

Don't try to fight it, ladies.....Adidas track suits ($58) are back IN, especially the 3-stripe bottoms.

Look at the HOT trend as lazy chic.

Celebs like Rihanna, Anne Hathaway, Katy Perry, Madonna and many others, have been sporting the Adidas track suit trend. And let's be honest, sweats or work-out wear is so DARN comfy.....Just like you rolled out of bed.

Some people would say that the 3-stripes track suit has ALWAYS been around. True, but when you see the clothing hitting the streets and on celebrities more and more, than it's going to be HOT.

We like the look. It's casual and clean and warm. And the Adidas brand is a classic and looks great on EVERY body.

Maybe you're looking to drop a few lbs. in the brand new year. Either ways, these 3-stripes bottoms are functional and stylish, and yeah, sometimes even sexy!

Ignite Your Life In 2013: Choose Red Hair Color

The experts say that flaming tresses are RED HOT for 2013!!

We liked when Rihanna rocked the bold red hue for several months last year. Maybe the superstar will go back to some auburn fun in the new year.

There are a number of red shades to choose from. Just remember that it's all about the skin tone when it comes to dyeing hair. And the personality.

And if you are NOT a natural  redhead (REAL redheads currently make up only 2% of the world's population), well, let's put it this way.....This color is the HARDEST to maintain says celebrity colorist Kim Vo:

"The biggest challenge are reds. The red color molecule is the smallest of all colors. It's like a tropical rainstorm. It's tempest and dramatic at first and then quickly fades. "

That's an excellent description of handling red hair dye.

Always seek out a professional stylist when you wish to jump to a major color change to get the perfect shade individual you.

There's even a website dedicated to all redheads looking for beauty. It's called JustForRedheads.

The JFR website features 'beauty products designed by a redhead, just for redheads.' The website was founded by Paula Pennypacker, president of the JFR company.

 

What's even more spectacular in the new year is THE color for 2013. According to the Pantone Color Institute, emerald green is the HOT shade:

 

"Green is the most abundant hue in nature -- the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum," says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, in a news release. "Symbolically, emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today's complex world. This powerful and universally appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors."

 

And we all know how amazing red hair goes with green!
