A Leather Don't.

I like the skirt.... and that would be all. The shoes could be cute but unless they are leather they don't really go. And the leather top.. NO! The way the straps are is just ridiculous in my opinion and it doesn't flatter a woman's best features.. the collarbone area. It smashes her chest area in and doesn't bring out any of her good skin tone. The bottom part, possibly a skirt, is cute and plain. Could look better as a different color. The shoes have to go and so does the top.. I just can't dig it. The hair is decent but looks like not much effort was put into it for her to be standing on a red carpet!

Would you wear it? Because I wouldn't even allow this in my closet!

your chance to shine!


So, you guys have experienced my writing and my fashion sense.. I want to know how good of a job I am doing.. What I would like you to do is instead of telling me if you would wear it or not.. I want to know what you think I would say about this.. Just comment back on the posting saying what you think my thoughts are.. and I'll let you know how close you get!!

:)

long hair, don't care :)


She absolutely ROCKED this at the Mercedes Benz Fashion week! I love this dress so much and I wish I could wear my hair like that.

The dress is so cute. It's not too much but it's not too little.. It gives off the classy rocker feel. The tight, leather bottom has the rocker feel and the shirt happens to have a bow and lace.. totally classy!

The location of the bow accents her body very well.. she has a petite, but healthy body and this helps to show that. The lace sticking out gives her that hour glass shape she might have or could be looking for.

The hair is perfect.. Long and straight. Totally in for 2010! And the best part is.. if those are extentions, they don't even look like it! I know so many girls today that would die for hair like this!!

would you wear it?!

FRO.. NO!


the fro is a no! disney's star from that's so raven looks a HOT MESS! And if you don't know what that means.. it means she looks horrible! her outfit isn't that bad.. i'll give her that.. her shirt could be cute if it fit a little snugger.. although i know loose clothes are in, it just doesn't look good on her.

and i called that a shirt..because it should be a shirt.. she has on tights.. thats a no! you don't look good raven, sorry girl!

okay let's get to the hair.. what in the world!!
it looks like she forgot to go to the hairdresser before she came to the crystal rock ceremony! not only that, but she could've done something with it herself!


just a complete mess.. i can't even talk about it.

this would be called a fashion-NO!

Rockin Rhianna!!!


I LOVE IT!!!

Rhianna is always dressed at her best.. No questions asked! The skirt is totally in and so cute. I like that I can't actually figure out what pattern it is just by looking at it.. Is it jean? Are there layers? It's great. I love pieces of material that make you wonder. Also, the skirt is a great length. Not too trashy, just classy enough! I love skirts with pockets as well. They're so convenient, yet still cute.

The tube top is great because it is plain and simple..but still keeps her figure.

I love the necklace, seriously. Because the outfit is simple and the necklace is thick and has a lot going on, it is great. it pulls away from a lot of things and makes you focus mostly on that.

Loving the purse..totally!! It is so cute. I love that it has a random choice of red rhinestones, which I assume are also included in her necklace. I like the chain that the purse has..super cute!

The shoes are simple and elegant..they work perfectly and match great.

I hate Rhianna's hair.. always have, always will. That's just the way it is!!

I'd totally rock this...would you ?!

"It's a girls' night.."


LOVE IT. Every single aspect of it. Wouldn't change a thing.

Not only does Miley look gorgeous on a regular basis, but in this dress she is a bombshell! Most times, I don't particularly like layers at the bottom of the dress but these ones look great!! Often times, these layers make the person look larger than they actually are..but not this time! The beaded and shaded area of the lower layers and all around edging of the dress looks great..

The belt is a very nice touch. Because it is a solid band, it adds shape to the dress and brings out the smallest part of her body...where as if it had the beads and shading as well, it would not look good. Surprisingly, the bold belt buckle isn't too much..

Her hairstyle is cute but sloppy.. I think the style looks good with the dress..but it looks like she was just driving with the windows down! No jewelry was a great choice..it would've just been too much.


Would you wear it?!

Spring Break



I'M BACKKK................
I enjoyed my spring break in California fashion..and so did Miley Cyrus! She Rocks this purple dress with the cowboy boots..it totally fits her style and I am definitely on the jealous side..

The purple dress - So cute, so simple. The shape and style of the dress is very flattering for Miley because she does have a very petite body. The color is good because her skin is very light..hopefully that changed during her spring break!

I am loving the boots!!!I am glad she went with a tan, printed in white boot because it brings spunk to the plain dress. The boots are very cute, and definitely very Miley.. However, I do not like the sole of the boot...its almost a different style.

Her purse is cute, goes well with the boots. I've been looking for this style of plain purse for awhile..I wonder where she got it!

I'd totally wear this outfit..even if I can't pull it off, I absolutely adore it!

Would you wear it?! Stay fab :)

there are no words


I hope that your internet moves as slow as mine does and you only got to see the top half of her dress while this was loading and you were in awe, becuase I was when I saw the headshot of Zoe Saldana on stage. After approximately thirty seconds of speaking on stage, the camera zoomed out to Zoe's entire dress. My jaw dropped and my eyes spread. Zoe is wearing her pet poodle on the bottom of her dress!! At least that's what I was thinking in my head. This dress is a major DON'T in everyone's book.

The top of the dress is gorgeous, the diamonds on the top look really good. Not only that, but the shade of purple mixed with the white o the top looks really good with her light but olivey skin tone. I like the bust on it because it adds a little figure to her.

The bottom of the dress is horrendous. I don't know what happened. I barely have anything to say. You can see for yourself that this is absolutely repulsive.

There are no words, I am sorry Zoe.

I won't even ask if you'd wear this.

stay fab, unlike her.

TRUE Fashion.


In 2005, at the MTV Video Music Awards, Eva Longoria wore this outfit that was and is still to die for. When you wear an outfit and 5 years later people still think you look amazing in it, as well as the fact that they then want to wear it.. that is TRUE fashion.

First of all, the color of the dress with her skin looks gorgeous... she's a brown eyed, tan skinned, dark haired bombshell.

The flowing of the top dress is STILL in style.. to me that just makes the outfit from 5 years ago ten times better. Not only does it look great with her figure, but people are still copying what she wore.. I even have a black dress that is similar to this today!

The fact that her body is so slender you'd think that the fact that the top is loose would make her look larger, but the tightness at the bottom of the dress really brings out her sleek legs, showing off the fact that she has a great body!

The shoes are gorgeous. Absolutely, positively, gorgeous. You can't see them that well once posted on this page, but there are jewels that go down her foot which look great.

She kept her hair simple, long, flowing curls. Perfect for the dress.. and still in fashion today. I really enjoy the way that she chose to do her hair. She doesn't have on much jewelry and she kept this dress simple, I like her style.. I wonder if she dresses this way all the time!!

The thing about this outfit is that the fact that she wore this outfit 5 years ago, and people are still wearing outfits like it today is just crazy to me. We always say that fashion is changing so much and that it always goes back to the past..but how much has it really changed at all?!

Would you wear it?! I WOULD!

stay fabbb ;)

they wore..what?!


Nas and Kelis... what to say what to say.. I don't even think I can put into words the way I feel about their outfits at the GRAMMY AWARDS! Honestly, I was almost too afraid to even post these outfits to the would you wear it blog.. but I figured it was a MUST! Besides the vulgar term across his shirt and her jacket.. Kelis.. those gold leggings are a major NO! They do not flatter your leg shape at all.. and considering the fact that people were probably starring at you because of the fact that your jacket is completely inapropriate.. you probably should have thought about the rest of your outfit making it half way decent. SORRY GIRL... but NO! Also.. does Kelis not know that gold and silver don't match unless they are tied together somehow?? The gold pants and the silver jewled lettering isn't working for me!

Now Nas.. a potentially okay outfit.. not for the Grammy Awards.. but change your shirt and you could hit up the mall! I love the black washboard on the jeans, I can't even deny that.. and the chain goes nicely with the all black.. The shoes are halfway decent.. but not quite there yet.

The vulgar terms - NO!!!! This is the Grammy Awards we are talking about.. you're not going to the club! I realize they may be trying to put some sort of personal expression into their outfit.. but throw on some jewlery or cute make up for crying out loud.. I just find this completely inapropriate..

I wouldn't wear it... Would you?!

stay fab.

Carried away...

Carrie Underwood is a brown eyed bombshell!! This dress looks amazing on her. I posted a picture of the full outfit, plus an upclose look at the complementary neckline.

Let's start with the neckline.. GOR-GE-OUS! I love the way it brings a pattern to the dress without taking it over completely. It flatters her collarbone, usually the thinnest and most attractive part on a woman's body. I also love the way the designer has put it in a different shade of silver with a little sparkle to bring it out a little bit more. The hanging off the shoulder is good, very fashionable today!

The length of the dress is perfect. This appears to be a flowy evening gown that could be worn to a fancy dinner or to an awards ceremony. The way the bottom of the dress frills out unevenly is good because it accentuates the flowing of the dress.

The hair.. not so good with the neckline. Personally, I would've chosen an updo just to help emphasize the stunning neckline. However, it doesn't look bad at all, just a personal opinion.

From what I can tell, the bracelet appears to be diamond studded. Looks gorgeous with the evening gown.

What do you think the back neckline looks like?!
and as always... would you wear it??

stay fabulous (:

Halle Berrryyy, Halle Berrryyy..


"She walkin' like a model..."
-Hurricane Chris



Halle Berry really proves Hurricane Chris's song lyrics from the song "Halle Berry (She Fine)" in the back of this dress. The front, however, I don't really like. There is so much skin on the front of this dress that it is almost not appropriate for the Golden Globes. The neckline is nice because it shows off the slim collar bone area and I am glad she isn't wearing a necklace because that would make for too much commotion. I don't like the textural pattern that goes throughout the front of the dress, almost appears to be a small floral type print. I do think that the area just below the breast area where it is open but still has fabric closing it is very fashionable, and suits her body type very well. I do not like the front of this dress and picture it being very different when I had only seen the back of the dress.

The top part of the back of this dress is to die for. No sarcasm, no joke, no nothing! Her back is clearly very inshape and this shows off great features that Halle has. The bottom of the back is not attractive, once again with the floral like trimming throughout the middle of the dress, it's just weird and I'm not feeling it at all.

The earrings were a great touch to the dress (once again would look better without this floral dress print) and I think the bracelets may be a little too much because of the floral print. There is too much going on, but at the same time not enough.

This outfit almost puzzles me.. the bracelet and the earrings don't match. Is the floral like triming see through?? And why is it there to begin with?? Nice try Halle, but I really only like the open back of this dress!!

So...... would you wear it?!?

as always..
stay fabulous (:

Golden Globe Goddess!


Sandra Bullock looks A-MA-ZING. I love the way this dress flatters her body. It highlights the smallest part of her body, right above her hips, making her look very small. Not only that, but her skin is very pale with her dark hair and the dress really pulls out her hair and makes the light skin look good.

Now her hair, it looks GREAT. I like how the one side is tied back and the other side hangs down.. not including the one chunk of hair that is intensely longer than the rest on the left (from view) side. The curls look great, held in very well all the way to the top.

One thing I would change.. I would add a necklace.. SUPPOSEDLY your collarbone area is the most attractive, flattering part on your body and you should always bring it out.. come on Sandra, we all know you can afford a few diamonds! Also, maybe a bracelet to match.

Something I am unsure about is the fact that the bottom of the dress seems to be see through, her legs look like a barbie dolls!


I would DEFINITELY wear this.. would you wear it?!

stay fabulous (:

Her shoes bang..

Rhianna rocked these shoes while performing on stage. In the second picture, of strictly just the shoes, you can see the lightning bolt heel. TOTALLY Rhianna's style. These shoes are to die for... I know I would! Not only are the shoes gorgeous with the bolt, but the material seems to be leather, which complements her leather jacket with an open hood. The jacket is incredibly stylish, and definitely "in" for 2010.

The skinny jeans are..cute.. but I'm not really down with them. The button and zipper area seems to be bursting at the seems..it's okay if you're not size zero Rhianna! The shirt underneath the jacket is decent enough..i'd prefer a color beater or something, bring a little vibrance to the outfit. It seems to be a little dull.

Now.. the Chanel hat. Are you serious? It is beautifully stylish. The leather once again complements the jacket, and the gold goes right with the heels. Rhianna, like Lady GaGa, sometimes has a "weird" sense of style.. but I think she did okay with this one.

So.. the question is.. would you wear it??

stay fabulous (:

And the first critique goes to...


Lady GaGa at the Grammy Awards.

Many people say "Lady GaGa dresses so weird," or, "what the **** is she wearing?" But the real question is.. is weird always wrong?

Yes, she changes her hair color for every event, and no this color does NOT flatter her pale skin tone... but the seemingly ice sculpture dress around her does flatter her skintone. Although very eccentric, the color, and sparkles do flatter her skin.

The shoes are very "Clueless" meaning, I could see Cher from the movie "Clueless" picking these out on her little computer outfit analyzer. Not only that but, how does she walk in those? Like they say, beauty is pain.

I LOVE the tights, I can't even deny it. Clearly GaGa must've worked out a lot before this outfit, or she's just blessed with a solid body.

With the body, the things that are scrolling around her body, but off the skin do not flatter her. They make her look MUCH larger than seen in other photos.

I like the outfit. It's a little over the top, but definitely goes with GaGa's style.

So.. the question is.. would you wear it?

Hello, my name is Brooke and with this blog I will be critiquing celebrity outfits and saying what I think about them. There's always the good, the bad, and the horrid so I will let you know my opinion about numerous outfits celebrities choose to wear out to parties/clubs, to awards shows, and just simply to the grocery store (if they do their own shopping). At the end of each post I will ask the simple question... "Would you wear it?" I will ask that you give me your feedback regarding this question as well as posting any pictures you may like to see me critique.

Everything posted on this site is my opinion that I am entitled to. You may or may not disagree with me..let me know!
