VOGUE FESTIVAL 2013

I haven't been this excited about anything in such a long time. Last year, Vogue started an event known as the vogue festival which is when a  bunch of movers and shakers in the fashion industry hold seminars. This year, they had Vivienne Westwood, Donatella Verscae, Paul Smith, Tamara Mellon, Victoria Beckham, Anna Dello Russo, Cara Delevingne and so much more. I planned on seeing Donatella, Tamara and Anna but tickets for Anna and Tamara sold out before I could get them. Donatella's talk was very inspirational. She spoke about her Childhood, having to take over Versace after her brother Gianni was shot (she spoke to him just 4 minutes before he was killed), Versace as a whole and so much more.

GWYNETH PALTROW IRON MAN 3 PREMIER GOWN

Gwyneth Paltrow wore this risque Antonio Berardi Fall 2013 gown to the Iron man 3 premier in Calirfonia. I'm not 110% sure about whether or not I like it because I think it looks too casual. I'm not sure if it's the fit, the lack of accessories or the fact that she didn't do anything with her hair but whatever it is is definatelty clouding my judgement about the actual dress and the white part under the peplum is bugging me, I wish it didn't go straight and then shapey but shapey immediately after the peplum (i hope you guys understand what I'm trying to say) but I know for a fact that I am loving the short one that was shown on the runway. What do you guys think?

PREGNANT KIM K

Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing, the thought of someone bringing life into the world is just so wonderful and powerful. I love looking at pregnant people(I promise i'm not weird), especially stylish ones. Kim has been under a lot of scrutiny over her weight issues and it just annoys me. the chick is preggers, let her be. we all know her pre pregnancy body is faultless and she'll probably get back to that within weeks of giving birth. regardless of anything people say about her weight, it can't be denied that she is still as beautiful as ever. Now let's talk about some of her pregnancy outfits.
