Fashion 2011: The Different Styles of Spring


Spring Style 2011Spring fashion has turned back time. The 60s and 70s fashion are back together with bold colors and chiffon dresses. If you are gearing towards the hottest trend this season, all you have to do is a little flashback to a few decades ago.

The hallmark of this year’s spring style is the boot cut and flared jeans which are popular in the showrooms of stores and on the streets. Many women, including Cami Krablin, are glad to have the boot cuts back. Flared is the newest silhouette for jeans, especially the flattering pants with high waistline and full legs. Aside from flared jeans, vintage blouses are on the rack. The Downtown store, which is known for their vintage looks, is offering ‘70s embroidered blouses and vests. Peasant tops tossed with beads is also very hippy.

Aside from the pants, the chic and breezy clothes also counts this year. Even Lady Gaga, who’s fond of bold looks, have honed to perfection in draping silk kimono on Vogue’s March cover. Fabrics like sheer chiffon and organza, fluid silks and satins and knits and crochet are also fab.

As opposed to last year’s grey colors, this year shouts with explosive brights to layers of white. Colors such as bright poppy, coral, orange and hot pink are high. Turquoise and cobalt blue look even more fashionable if worn in combinations of two or three, or create tonal mixes such as two shades of green. Floral and fruit prints are also favorable this year. Furthermore, to offset the bold colors, gentle nudes and stark white is hip this year.

Trench coats are also in that fashion. Floral prints, bold colors, satin and silky fabrics, with addition of animal prints.

Justin Bieber Gets Own Wax Figure and New Haircut


Justin Bieber becomes the most recent celebrity to get his wax statue at Madame Tussauds wax museum. The announcement was made Tuesday just one day after the teen pop idol tweeted he had a new hairstyle.

The 16-year old Canadian will debut his wax figure this coming March in four Madame Tussauds branches namely, Amsterdam, London and New York.

Bieber said that it is incredibly exciting and cool to be immortalized in wax along with some of his idols such as Prince, Beyonce, Michael Jackson, and most especially his mentor, Usher.

In London, Madame Tussauds is a main tourist attraction that displays many waxworks of royal and historical figures, including film and sports stars. Before Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga had been the most recent wax sculpture located in most Madame Tussauds branches.

The young pop-star, who is as famous for his bowl haircut as his expressive voice, said on Monday through the social networking site Twitter that he just got a new hairstyle and would bring all the cut hair for an auction to charity.

The singer’s stylist posted a picture of Bieber’s new hairstyle which then brought many Bieber fans to react on Twitter. Bieber explained that he wanted to change it in order for him to look more mature.

Bieber was discovered by Scooter Braun through the video-sharing site, YouTube in 2008. Later on, he met Usher who became his partner under the Island Record management. He was the first person to put seven songs from a single album in the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
