When the Grammy’s, the Paris Couture runways and a full moon all fall within the week -you know the cosmic forces are aligned to shower us with some fashion talk.
At Grammy night, Lady GaGa’s celestial, spiral Armani dress most definitely set the tone, but it left me wondering if GaGa herself had text-ed everyone that wrapping was in since so many stars seemed to follow suit by either showing up wrapped in at least one band of metallic or simply wrapped tight in a (surprise) lady-like evening gown. Usually Grammy fashion tends to be lots of ‘head scratchers’, I actually thought this year many looked really pretty-out there, yes-but pretty.
When I heard this week that gray hair was suddenly the height of high fashion I happily toss my box of Nice & Easy to the curb. If Kate Moss and wispy models from Christian Dior and Chanel could embrace and face the facts-that those pesky grays are indeed beautiful, then gosh darn it so could I.
Then when I realized that theirs were actually faux, meant to look more cool not more mature- I humbly fished my box of Light Coppery Auburn #10 right back out from underneath the coffee grinds.
When it comes to color-picking a favorite to wear can be hard. You love your urban inky blacks, but boldly saturated colors speak to you with equal intensity. What’s a confused fashionista pulled in 2 directions to do? Designer Alexis Mabille has a suggestion:
Now that’s what I call a split decision, sister!
Couldn’t help but go gaga for Taylor Swift. She seems to have it wrapped up in more ways than one. She looked fabulous. Is so sweet, humble and adorable. Won the super star awards at CMAs and has had so many chart topping songs…and she’s only 19!
I think I’ll keep the gray at bay a little longer, too. I know I could never pull off ‘looking cool’ gray or the split personality fashions for that matter but they are both attention grabbers.
I agree! I’ll stick with my box of blond as I love gray in clothing but will graciously wait on my hair tint to change naturally. Anyway….my husband likes my being a blond…. Love the asymmetrical dresses…very elegant.
