Be personal without being intimate- I love bloggers who share a
slice of their life with me through their blogs. I like that I can
relate to their perspective, share their humanity and understand their
motives. But please don't go all out with T MI and stories about your
dog's poop color (true story, burned in my memory for all
the wrong reasons - not naming names!) Share the whys and whats and
wheres of your ideas and style. It makes your blog an interesting read!

Gender roles in Fashion

love.
Lately there seems to have been a gender role reversal and the lines have become blurred in fashion as far as what women should wear and what men should wear. Now we are seeing guys wear makeup and girl’s jeans, and girls who wear menswear like ties and trousers. We personally love those little menswear vests for women that are out right now – just bought one and it is hot! There is something sexy about wearing something traditionally seen on the opposite gender.

The blogging world has exploded over the
past three years and as the blogging world grows, the harder it is to
find those diamonds in the rough. I’m here to make your job a little
easier. As an LA native I’ve had a chance to meet different LA based
bloggers, all extremely sweet and fun to be around, and also pick my
favorites. Of course it was hard to narrow this down to 5 bloggers, but I
pushed through. I picked these group of girls because they all have
their own style that sets them apart and their blogs all have something
different to offer. Now let’s embark on the 5 LA blogger’s You Should
Know, journey.

e most formidable editors and tyrannical designers have always been at heart starstruck movie buffs, and their fellow dream weavers in the film industry have graciously returned the compliment, offering up sylphs to adorn and epochs to revive. Reflecting on the golden age of Hollywood, Diana Vreeland rhapsodized, “Everything was larger than life. The diamonds were bigger, the furs were thicker and more.” Vreeland’s extravagantly outré 1960s Vogue spreads were sometimes mod allusions to such favorite over-the-top spectacles as The Scarlet Empress, featuring the sable-swathed Marlene Dietrich. Elsa Schiaparelli based the surrealistic torso-shaped bottle for her signature scent, Shocking, on the hourglass physique of Mae West, whom she dressed as the man-eating Fifi in Every Day’s a Holiday. Lured by Samuel Goldwyn’s million-dollar offer to elevate the taste of his stars, Schiap’s arch-rival Coco Chanel embarked for Hollywood in 1931. But, denouncing the town as “the Mont-Saint-Michel of tit and tail,” Chanel lingered barely long enough to clothe celluloid siren Gloria Swanson for Tonight or Never, dressing her as a Coco clone, in a belted tweed suit. In spite of the couturière’s early antipathy for movie actresses, the house of Chanel was among the first to enlist film idols as models. For years Catherine Deneuve appeared as the flawless face of the brand, and a whole phalanx of red-carpet royalty—Vanessa Paradis, Nicole Kidman, Keira Knightley, Audrey Tautou, and Blake Lively—has since followed in her spangled wake.

While good fashion design will never bring about world peace, fashion can make a person feel better. Whether you think of royalty or rock stars, you visualize their appearance and presentation. What people wear projects who they are.
The sophisticated and often over-the-top styles found on the runways of Paris and New York do not represent the full spectrum of fashion designers' work. In reality, there are a multitude of from sportswear, to children's clothes, to haute couture. If you can wear it, someone has designed it.
