Fashion Flash

Look Like a VMA Vixen!

 
Last night’s VMAs left us with something to talk about—absolutely amazing dresses, cool-girl accessories and the only shoes you’ll need all season. The red carpet was aflutter with fierce femmes in shiny silver, jet black and vamp red. Did you think the girls were gorge—or left something to be desired? 

We picked some of the looks we loved and how you can rock ‘em in the real world. We can’t guarantee a Moon Man, but we know you’ll look glam!

A Red Dress…like Taylor
Let’s be honest: Last night was all about Ms. Swift. And her fab crimson frock proved you don’t mess with a girl in a red dress, right? Look for one with a flattering halter and great ruching at the waist. Bonus: It works from homecoming through the holidays.
 
 
Banded Strap Knit Dress, $18, forever21.com
 
A Silver Sparkler…like Leighton Meester
For Leighton Meester, all the world’s a stage: to prove that in real life, she’s nothing like her preptastic counterpart Blair Waldorf. She donned a short-sleeve, metallic mini dress and looked like a total star. This dress should only be worn after dark—and pull one some black tights to make it more low-key.
 
 
 
Suede Booties…like Whitney Port
Black suede booties are fall’s go-to shoe. Whitney wore them with a teeny black dress, but they’d work with jeans or a sweet skirt, too. A floral hairpiece makes them romantic, while studded earrings bring out their tough side. OK, seriously, we never want to take them off.
 
 
 
Sasha Ruffle Bootie, $34, payless.com
 
 A Leopard-Print Belt…like Olivia Palermo
Clearly, we have a thing for The City. Last night, Olivia ditched the drama and showed off her updated version of a classic. A black dress (pick a t-shirt one to make it more casual), a leopard belt and a red clutch was all it took for her to steal the spotlight. P.S. Leopard is everywhere right now, so give this catty style a try.
 
 
 
 
A Leotard…like Beyonce
We’d never tell ya to shake it in just a bodysuit (unless you’re a dancer!), but B is definitely on to something. A leotard is a seriously stylin’ layer, especially under fall’s frilly skirts and cardigans. Ballerina (and Beyonce!) inspired, without being too literal. 
 
 
 
Kimchi Blue Bow Back Bodysuit, $38, urbanoutfitters.com
 
 And two beauty looks we’re obsessed with!

Red lips and a red pout.
Taylor was sizzlin’ with a scarlet kisser and nails to match. She kept her face neutral and made her eyes stand out with black liner, mascara and a tiny bit of silver shadow. Gorgeous for a night in NYC (or an ultra-glam event in your hometown).
 
 
 
Plumping Lip Glaze, $1, eyeslipsface.com
 
 
 
  Sula Nail Polish in Crimson Red, $10, amazon.com
 
Starry Eyes and a natural lip
Leighton went a little overboard with the shadow last night, but girl had a good idea. Shimmery navy liner and gunmetal shadow are two of my fall faves. Line your eyes all the way around and then smudge on some silver shadow. Add mascara. Done and done, diva.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD I need some advice, my mom picked out this really awesome dress for me and I think theses boots would go really great with it but she said that she said ``you would kill yourself in toughs`` (because there heels) but I really like them and it will take us for ever to find new shoes because we have different taste and I whant heels. thank`s so much

 

Hey girlie! Talk to you mom and tell her your feelings on the sitch. Maybe you two can compromise on something!

My parents are kinda strict about makeup-they will only let me wear it if they think it is relatively low key and they won't help me at all. all of my friends look amazing everyday, but i only know how to apply mascara/blush/foundation. My question to you: what are some subtle ways to apply makeup so i get a "wow" reaction but not so much that my parents have a cow? thanks for your help! =]




Hey, I like to keep it natural. Just stick with a blush or bronzer, mascara and some lip gloss. A little goes a long way, I promise!

Smile luv ya!




Hey girlie,




You should check out American Apparel for cool dresses. They have loads of bright fabrics and a lot of styles that will cover your shoulders, but are still pretty funky. Try a retro look with your makeup. Wear a fierce black eyeliner and then use two bright shades of eyeshadow like yellow and purple for that extra pop. Put the yellow shadow on the inner part of your eyelid and blend it with the purple on the outer lid. You could even line the under part of your eye with a small bit of yellow shadow. Top it all off with dark mascara.
