I had a Faith 21 shopping spree a few days ago at the new Times Square store and put together a rocking outfit. I am wearing a necklace from one of my new favorite jewelry designers Nicole Akong for Akong London, a elastic waist belt from Zara, the bubble hem skirt is from Faith 21 and I love it because it makes me hips, something I have always wanted and don’t have courtesy of my apple shape body. My gold tank is also from Faith 21, and I know I am going to be wearing it to death during these hot summer months.

Yes, celebrities do wear looks more then once!  Check out Kim Kardashian in a great structured olive skirt with two completely different looks! One look has a touch of nautical chic while the other begs to be taken on a safari. The skirt was easily translated to two different trends by changing the color base of the oufit (beige and white for the nautical look and black for the safari) as well as changing her bag and necklace. An easy change to get a whole new look!

The new July cover of Ellehas been released with a slim, uh, slimmer version of Rihanna on the cover. This has causedsome to wonder was this curvaceous star digitally slimmed down for the Elle cover? Photoshopping of celebrities has become increasingly controversial once pictures leaked of Britney Spears, Jessica Alba, and Kim Kardashian that have been photoshopped.

What do you think of this Elle cover of Rihanna? Slimmed down or not?

Healthy Magazine has taken a very different turn in the recent airbrushing debates.  As celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears, and Jessica Alba, have all been airbrushed to be slimmer, Healthy Magazine has airbrushed to add weight. Yes, add! The magazine editor, Jane Druker, claims that the model came to the photoshoot slimmer then she was at the casting. As Healthy Magazine wants to promote a healthy image, they added some curves to model Kamilla Wladyka to make her look “healthier”.

What do you think of this retouching?

But, and we cannot resist asking your thoughts, who posed it better?

More and more pictures are being released into the media of celebrities before and after being photoshopped. This craving for authenticity in the images we see in the media has led to unretouched pictures of Britney Spears, Jessica Alba, Jessica Simpson, and Kim Kardashian to be exposed.

Now we have two more pictures of Kardashian sisters, Kim and Kourtney, being released to the media.

What is your opinion on these photoshopped images of the Kardashian sisters?

We recently did a post on Christina Hendricks’ Golden Globes dress by Christian Siriano that was criticized by Cathy Horyn. Horyn stated in her New York Time’s blog that “You don’t put a big girl in a big dress. That’s rule number one”.

We thought that Hendricks looked amazing and are so happy that another curvaceous beauty, Beyonce, rocked a red-hot ruffle dress for the launch of her new fragrance, Heat.

It seems many celebrities are feeling the heat in red dresses! We see this hot trend popping up all over with Kim Kardashian and Jordin Sparks sporting the color recently.
