Trend Files #051 | Multi Colored Nails A Go!Trend Files #051 | Multi Colored Nails A Go!

Multi colored nails are definitely a go! Don’t ask me why…but I think that celebrities have plucked through the pages of Punky Brewster circa 1986, and have fast forwarded towards 2009 on a new spree of colorful ideas. Granted, there are those who snubbed the idea of neon hues, air brushed acrylic tips, and are now cooing over neatly cut and filed nails coated in thick coatings of their favorite shade of summer. Lauren Conrad has taken the month of July into her grasp, showing off glittering patriotic hues, along with mixing metallic with neutral color schemes. Conrad hasn’t been the only starlet to hit the scene with a colorful set – Queen Latifah has donned a black and white colorway during the BET awards. Rapper Eve mixed things up (last year) with a Minx manicure, and Solange has made various appearances with a tricked out set of ultra bright …

Trend News #015 | Chanel Goes VA-ROOM: Chanel Customized MotorcycleTrend News #015 | Chanel Goes VA-ROOM: Chanel Customized Motorcycle

It’s the summer…which usually means that the news reels are slower than slow. Then again perhaps it’s just me moving at snails speed. Last Friday, locals who passed by the Chanel boutique on Rue Royale in Paris had a first glimpse of Unkie Karl who was shooting the press kit for Chanel’s pre-spring collection “Starting Point”. While Lagerfeld modeled in his usual stance, models Baptiste Giacobini & Lara Stone stood in front of a sporty customized motorcycle for the French couturier. According to WWD the low rider is reminiscent of the one seen in the movie “The Wild Ones” featuring the late Marlon Brando. Oh and if you think that you will see reproductions of these floating across your city streets…please think again! More views after the jump.

Summer has finally arrived….FINALLY!
The humidity has taken over and many of us are taking in the sun without a care in the world. Then again, there are those who are in full preparation to keep Fall & Winter on the brain as the summer runs it’s course. Copenhagen based Wood Wood is knowing for mixing the underground with avant-garde – creating a serious collection made for the practical shopper. This Fall/Winters collection reminds me of the 80′s – where the look was muted amongst earth tone hues and industrial silhouettes. And if you ask me….it’s indeed Hippie friendly all around. Check o ut the collection after the jump!

Trend Files #050 | Is Rihanna Really A Cut Above The Rest?Trend Files #050 | Is Rihanna Really A Cut Above The Rest?

So basically yesterday I spent the entire day in front of the computer screen drawing a total blank. And if you follow me on Twitter you may understand why! But aside from the spur of the moment memory loss….and dazed & confused look on my face, I browsed through my various photo accounts only to take a close view at our girl Rihanna. I don’t know about you but I’ve realized that this season – notable women have found themselves itching to be buzzed cut. Could it be the humidity that has everyone ready to take off a piece of their locks? Or has euro trends finally found itself embedded in the skulls of our favorite celebrities. I’m saying….even Carmen Electra shaved both sides of her hair…(BTW isn’t she kind of old to be doing this?). Anyway, I am curious as to know if head shaving is the new black? …

Trend Files #049 | Is Amber Rose Ford Model Worthy? Or Just Another Pretty Face?Trend Files #049 | Is Amber Rose Ford Model Worthy? Or Just Another Pretty Face?

Ahhhh yes, another Amber Rose moment! I am sorry this girl is addictive! From the short blonde Caesar haircut, highly glossed puckered lips, straight down to her imperfect toes – there is something about this girl that EVERYONE (including myself) would like to know more about. Last month, I spoke about Amber Rose inking a deal with Ford Models. A month later…the ink has dried (only for god knows how long) and Rose is in motion of representing one of the power heavy weights in the modeling game. So what do we actually know about Amber Rose? Good question…..other than being a former stripper (from alleged reports), being dubbed as a lesbian (yet again these are all from alleged reports), and already stapled a video vixen in addition to linking up with Kanye West (which is we’ve all seen for the past 6 months) what do we really know …
