Carson Kressley to Emcee Fashion Show

I have loved Carson since he was on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy". I don't know whatever possessed them to take that show off the air. He lit up the dance floor with his flair and humor when he danced on "Dancing with the Stars. He was one reason I watched that show, but, now for those of us in the tri-state area we can enjoy Carson live. Kressley will be dolling out some advice–when he acts as emcee on Friday, March 23 and Saturday, March 24, at Safilo USA’s Spring/Summer 2012 fashion show during Vision Expo East at the Javits Center, New York. He will make a repeat appearance for Safilo as it shows the latest looks from eyewear brands including Alexander McQueen, Banana Republic, Boss Orange, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Kate Spade New York, Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc Jacobs, MaxMara, Tommy Hilfiger and YSL. Kressley will be appearing at the shows, scheduled for 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 pm, on March 23 and 24. The shows continue on Sunday, March 25 at the same times. You also can always catch him on his TV series “Carson-Nation” on OWN or see his collection for QVC.

Rihanna,the singer is quickly become a fashion industry sweetheart. The 23-year-old singer is the face of Armani Jeans along with Emporio Armani underwear and has been dressed by fashion giants such a Jean Paul Gaultier to Stella McCartney. So, Rihanna has inked a deal with UK's Sky Living Network produce a Project Runway type reality show. There is no word if we'll be able to view the show in the states, but there's always YouTube. "I've always had a great love of fashion. It's a constant source of inspiration in my life, and is a big reason why I've grown into the person and artist I am today," says Rihanna. The prize? The winner of the program will get to design a one of a kind stage outfit for Rihanna's Wireless performance in London's Hyde Park in July 2012. It's not Project Runway's $100,000 check but, but dressing one of the most famous women in the world will certainly attract some attention and hopefully stardom.

One Way to Get That 50's Retro Look

We seem to be in an age of adoration for the 50's, with inspiration coming from the effortless sophistication of icons like Audrey Hepburn, Princess Grace Kelly and polished style of the TV series Mad Men. No other accessory deems itself more appropriate for this look than the headband. We saw some fabulous headbands on the Golden Globes red carpet worn by some of the most glamorous stars including CharlizeTheron and Michelle Williams Vintage-looking headbands like the simple, sparkly ones on Theron and Williams can really modernize your look without looking juvenile.

With a number of choices to choose from you want to be sure that you wear the Headband and it doesn’t wear you! Choose something elegant, jeweled and delicate as opposed to a band adorned with over sized bows or lots of feathers. There should be nothing schoolgirl about this look. We can't wait to see who wears one at the Oscars!
