Orange You Glad Spring is Here! Pt1

As we settle into Spring, that means it is time to update our closets. It is time to put away the bulky-yet fabulous coats, and time to take out those fierce trench coats and jackets, and of course a stylish umbrella for the April showers. As you update your wardrobe be sure to incorporate spring's it color, orange.

Grammys

The Grammys will be coming on tonight at 8pm. I am honestly not that interested, but will only be watching for celeb fashion and to see Alicia Keys and Kanye perform. I also cannot wait to see how many Grammys Kanye will win. By the way, Beyonce is listed as one of the performers, but what could she be possibly performing? After all, her album is 2 years old...anyway that is a whole different story. However, I did hear that she is doing a duet with Tina Turner. Well, I guess we will see tonight.

Be sure to tune into the Grammys tonight at 8pm on CBS and check out ConcreteLoop for celeb fashion

The Future of Fashion

The runway for the last couple of years has been filled with reinventions. We have seen fashion from the 80’s, 40’s , 50’s and 60’s come back in new, fun and inventive ways. However designers, such as Balenciaga and Maison Martin Margiela have already moved out of the past and into the future with their avant-garde designs.

Last year, for his Fall and Spring 2007 line, Martin Margiela debuted exaggerated shoulder pads and future-esque dresses that seemed inspired by the Jetsons.

Balenciaga also looked to the future with Robot inspired looks.

Celebrities have also gotten in on this look.

Celebrity Fashion on New Years Eve

Check out celebrity fashion during New Years weekend.

Solange looked pretty stylish on Saturday at Jay Z's concert at the Pearl in Las Vegas. She managed to add a personal touch by adding a leather belt to her satin blouse/dress, and I love love the tights.



Sunday, celebrities come out to the opening of Jay Z's 40/40 club in Las Vegas. Mostly everyone looked great, but Vanessa Simmons definitely stood out. She debuted a short bob, and looked ever so classy in a satin dress accompanied with heels and a clutch.



Other fashionable celebs at the event included Lebron and his girlfriend, Jay Z, Neyo, Beyonce, Solange, and Claudia Jordan


On New Years Eve, celebrities showed up everywhere, and were sure to look their best.
Some standouts were Jennifer Hudson, Kim Kardashian (as much as I do not want to admit it), and once again Vanessa Simmons.
Jennifer looked stunning at the Setai Hotel in Miami Beach with a short bob, and in a fabulous winter white satin suit.



Kim Kardashian stood out with her beau in a fierce skintight designer dress. She hosted a New Years Eve Party at Mansion’s in Miami, Florida.




Vanessa Simmons looked most chic in this “Carrie Bradshaw” inspired dress at TAO in Las Vegas, where Mariah Carey hosted a New Years Eve celebration.



Other fashionable celebrities were Mariah Carey and Kelis at TAO.
