Another retouch + polyvore Marilyn Monroe
Hi there again! :) I did another retouch today (actually I finished it a couple of minutes ago)
I have got no idea why the picture is so small :( check it here
And I did another polyvore picture :)
This time about Marilyn Monroe, the biggest inspiration EVER.
So, tomorrow I'll write about her :)

Summer's must have
I have discovered Polyvore! It's amazing! Fashion and art in one! What would you want more :)
So I have made what I think are this summer's must have :)
I think if you click on it you can see from which brand (and how much it costs) is what.
Okay so here we go:
1. tunics! I think they're perfect for summer, because you can wear them one the beach or when going out (maybe with a nice belt, leggings and high heels) and they suit every figure! :)
2. gladiator's shoes! We've seen them before and we still love them. Flat for day and high heels for clubbing :)
3. Leggings! We've been seeing those all year but now those ripped ones are IN :) Combine them with a tunic/shorts/skirt/looong shirt and you're ready to go :)
4. Ripped jeans! It's back :) And I love it, it looks a little bit grunge but it's very fashonable :)
5. waist be
lts! I love love love love them! I can't say enough how much I love them :) They make an outfit instantly from drag to fab :) And they optically make you a waist and a hour-glass figure.

This year still trendy monokinis and bikinis if you're figure isn't as perfect as a model's (*sob sob*). I think this summer we should go on the beach with bold prints and colors :) It's summer! :)
7. straw bags! They're so cute! And not to mention practical :) You can even use them for clubbing (the small one with a ribbon)
8. flowers in my hair! They're so cute and feminine! :) They come in different shapes and sizes (like we do) ♥
9. last but not least, glasses! Any shape and color :) I love the mosquito ones, the nerd glasses (*droll*) and aviators. The bigger the better :)
When I made this polyvore collage I looked for cheaper clothes/items, because fashion trends change every season, so why spend more if there's a chance for less?

Fashion trends: Women in menswear
I love love love looooove this trend :)
And here is a small glossary of tailor expressions:
Maybe because I feel very close to the tomboy trends and I love classic and elegant dresses. So I belive this is the perfect combo! I especially love men shirts with a nice belt (it gives it a nice safari touch). I have bought this nice white men shirt and combined it today with a red belt with white butterflies :P :)
I also love waistcoats and men jackets :) I love all combinations with menswear with a femine twist (high-waisted skirts, trousers, a belt worn on your waist, jackets and of course high heels!)
So here are some examples of menswear on women.
I like the right girl and her square pattern.
The left girl has got such a nice cardigan and baggy pants :)
Gorgeous gorgeous georgeous! Lovin' all of it!
Lovin' the jacket
And here is a small glossary of tailor expressions:Boot cut - A '70s pant
silhouette that slightly flares at the hemline
. Teens wore them last year, now they're a fashion staple that in a weird way minimizes a woman's hips. They look great with stiletto-heeled ankle boots.
Buttons - You'll hear tailors talk about a jacket being a single-button or four-button or double-breasted. Here's the deal. A single button usually creates a deep ``V'' and is elegant and slimming to most women, especially if worn unbuttoned. Three- or four-button styles are more trendy but require a lean, flat-chested body to look their best, and double-breasted jackets (don't wear them unbuttoned) look best on a narrow-hipped figure.

Button-down shirt - A button-down oxford-cloth shirt is very preppy
and great with a blazer, but don't wear it with a suit. It's a fashion faux pas
Chalk stripes - Stripes that look like a chalk mark, wider and softer than a pinstripe
.
Carnaby Street - When you hear people saying something is ``very Carnaby Street,'' they mean it's colorful, loud, gaudy and fun. It refers to the '60s era in England, when Carnaby Sreet was the world's fashion front.
Chesterfield - Originally, this beltless overcoat - named for the Earl of Chesterfield - was worn to make a political statement, but now it's a classic noted for its black velvet collar. For fall '97, you'll see plenty of Chesterfield-inspired jackets, but usually they're short and fitted, worn with a skirt instead of trousers.
Cuffs - If you're going for the classic man-tailored suit, like those by Ralph Lauren, you'll want a lean leg that tapers down to a narrow cuff. Nothing big and floppy or too ``Annie Hall.'' And wear them with square-toed oxford pumps, or if you're feeling really retro, try a dark Hush Puppy or penny loafer. P.S.: You'll look taller and thinner if the hems of your trousers brush the top of your shoes and hit mid-heel in the back. Derby (also called bowler) - The hat of the moment if you're a fan of menswear-for-her. Wear it tipped over one eye for a really jaunty
look. Fedoras are cool, too.
Dress shirt - That's referring to a white fine gauge cotton shirt, but colors are in again, especially deep blue. Wear it with a loosely tied tie or open at the neck.
French cuff - A turned back cuff held together with cufflinks. It's very now, and should extend from your suit jacket about a half-inch.
Hacking jacket (also called riding coat) - It's longer than a regular suit coat and hides thunder thighs while accenting a small waist. You'll see it often this year in stretchy
fabrics with full, fluid pants.
Iridescent fabrics - Something from the Peacock Revolution of the '60s that's making a comeback with edgy menswear designers like Calvin Klein and Hugo Boss.
Pinstripes - Very narrow stripes, usually in white or gray.
Pocket square - That little piece of colored silk that gets stuffed in the upper pocket of the jacket. A hot accessory in the '80s, it's back, and looks best when it doesn't match the tie. A neatly folded white hanky is a classic alternative that goes with anything.

Fashion icons: Victoria Becham
Today I'll be talking about Victoria Beckham as a Fashion Icon :)
I know many people won't agree with me, but I think she really is a fashion icon.
Just look at this picture
She has got amazing shoes! :) and the skirt is just something very elegant yet girly :)
Well, I love everything about her, except for her breasts implants and no bra (and her anorexia issues).
I think that she has proven herself with outstanding outfits and inimmaginable combinations :) And we all know who started the pixie haircut trend :)
And here are some other pictures of her:
So what do you think girls?
