A stylist? A Career?? You decide. Perhaps they go hand in hand because without a hit she cant afford a stylist.

How To Get In The Mood Posted by S&M NY , Wednesday, December 29, 2010 at 4:02 PM, in Labels: Craic Inspiration

Okay perhaps I have too much time on my hands or I care too much. Whatever the case, when I have an event coming up I always think what do I want to wear? What color do I want to wear? What is the feeling I am going for? So, for everyone out there that struggles with what to wear and how to look,  a great way to fix that is with a mood board. In these two instances I did it with color. You can get a vibe off each one and start to think what you want. Am i  tough, sexy, cute ??  This is a great way to have a little fun with your powerpoint and get a clear vision on what you want!

Posh NYC Bound Posted by S&M NY , at 3:48 PM, in Labels: Celeb Craic

The ever sexy and succesful Victoria Beckham is apparently NYC bound. She believes that New York City is the fashion capitol (which it is) and the commute from NY to the UK would be easier then LA. This comes right on the heels of her nomination at The 2010  British Fashion Awards. Being a native New Yorker, I just want to say we welcome you with open arms!

P.S. If you could just cut your hair though I and the greater New York would appreciate it. I miss it! Thanks!!

The song sounds hot already and I haven't even heard a stitch of the song yet. The song will be released on January 7th. Can't wait!!

Britney Spears: ‘Hold It Against Me’ Lyrics!

Hey over there
Please forgive me
I’m gonna have some fun tonight
And ain’t that how it should be?

Dancing to my favorite song
All by myself (Loving myself)

And ain’t that how it should be?

Baby, you can hold it against me
But tonight, I’m out on my own
You think I dress to impress them
But tonight, I’m doin’ it for myself

Hold it against me (Just do it)
Hold it against me (Boy, just do it)
Hold it against me
But when I go home tonight,
I’ll be by myself (Loving myself)

You think you’re a rockstar
Coming on over to my party
That this tight ass dress is for you
Thinking that’s how it should be

Dancing to my favorite song
All by myself (Loving myself)

Baby, you can hold it against me
But tonight, I’m out on my own
You think I dress to impress them
But tonight, I’m doin’ it for myself

Hold it against me (Just do it)
Hold it against me (Boy, just do it)
Hold it against me

Just do it, just do it
Just do it, just do it

If you hold it against me
I won’t mind, cause babe
It’s just not our time
And if you wanna dance
You might as well ask (My girlfriend)
As I’ll be on the dancefloor
All by myself
All by myself

Baby, you can hold it against me
But tonight, I’m out on my own
You think I dress to impress them

But tonight, I’m doin’ it for myself

Hold it against me (Just do it)
Hold it against me (Boy, just do it)
Hold it against me

baby, you can hold it against me
But tonight, I’m out on my own
You think I dress to impress them
But tonight, I’m doin’ it for myself

Hold it against me (Just do it)
Hold it against me (Boy, just do it)

Hold it against me

Hold it against me
Hold it against me

I know this is more of a women's blog but I cant help it. If getting all decked out on NYE isn't your thing perhaps these more casual, comfy, sexy looks will be more your speed. Grab a beer a lady or a boy =) and watch the balls ahem ball drop

Ring in The New Year In Style: Mens Edition Posted by S&M NY , at 11:03 AM, in Labels: Craic'y Must Have

Now listen here boys! There is no reason on NYE not to look as polished and dapper as ever. Get decked out, you never know who you will meet or who you will be kissing when that clock strikes 12. Stay away from the norm and stand out in a crowd. Cus you know it will be crowded. Try a burgundy suit or a navy tux, a black suit with a bit of sheen to it or for the daring (like me) a plum velvet blazer.  Keep the rest simple with a clean shave or a sexy five o clock shadow and you will be stepping into 2011 in style.

Joan Rivers brings the LOL's to NY Magazine Posted by S&M NY , at 9:56 AM, in Labels: Celeb Craic

The always out there and hilarious Joan Rivers sat down with her (bleh) daughter Melissa to speak to New York Magazine about everything from the Holidays, to Gaga, to her own personal style (more the better) which i totally agree with. Here are some bits from the interview

We are thrilled with the return of Fashion Police on E!, by the way. How were you able to do it again in a weekly format?
Joan: Well, I'm not on the red carpet anymore. When you're on the red carpet, you get word from on high: "Don’t say anything bad about Angelina Jolie because she’s a friend of the network. Don’t say anything bad about Sarah Jessica Parker because she's a friend of the network." No one says anything bad [about celebrities] — they’re not going to say, "Your ass is too big, and you shouldn’t be wearing that color, and you look like a fool." You can’t say that so what’s the point of doing the red carpet? So the Fashion Police, when they came to me, they said let her do it. I don’t have to meet them on the red carpet. I don’t have to deal with Rihanna. Rihanna and I will never meet unless we both go clubbing together, and I don’t think we’ll go to the same clubs.
Melissa: My first thought was there is not enough material because I used to do fashion news once a week on E!, and I always felt like it was a stretch. But over the past couple of years there seems to be more material.
What do you think of the state of celebrity red-carpet dressing today? Do you think the "Joan Rivers effect," as the Times called it, scared celebrities into playing it too safe?Joan: That is such nonsense. What they’re starting to do now, which worries me, is they’re all trying to copy Lady Gaga. You want to say to Katy Perry, "You’re beautiful! You’ve got the body, wear a pretty dress.You don’t have to strap electrical stuff on your dress."
Melissa: They’re all so scared. I think a lot of these younger girls are getting shoved into clothes by designers and are too impressed that it’s that designer, and I think that’s where you get a lot of bad choices. Their gut might say no, but they’re too scared to say no and everyone around them is saying yes.
Speaking of Lady Gaga — thoughts?
Joan: Lady Gaga wants to look crazy — her next outfit I know is going to be surf and turf. It’s the ones that think they look great, and you go, "Are you out of your mind?" Or the ones who have become total fashion victims. I just think Prada should be shut down, and truly I think they hate Americans. I think they’re still angry at us for WWII.
Melissa: Lady Gaga — you can’t even put that in the category of fashion because those are truly costumes, but she sells them and everyone goes berserk.
Where do you shop?
Joan: I shop my closet a lot. I’ve taken a lot of jackets and added things. I work with my stylist on it. Before you cut into a vintage Yves Saint Laurent, you better fucking know what you’re doing. Every time I get together with Melissa we go to Barneys and we go to Bergdorf's. And also the ten-dollar-and-under stores in the airport, where I buy scarves and cheap jewelry that’s going to break, but you can wear it once. And in London, the only place you go is Topshop. I buy anything that sparkles. Topshop is just amazing because you run in, you come out, you look like a whore. It’s great.
Melissa: Elise Walker in Pacific Palisades. In New York, Barneys. I get stuff from Intermix. I mix stuff up — I’m just as likely to be wearing something from Old Navy or Gap with Louboutin shoes and a J.Crew jacket.
Who are your favorite designers?Joan: Valentino, Gaultier because he’s very showbiz, good ol’ Armani — I don’t pick it that way, that's just what works. Escada.
Melissa: For dressy, I love Dolce & Gabbana, I love Calvin Klein, I love Donna Karan, I love Michael Kors. I’ve got some great Stella McCartney stuff, really cute Chloé. I have a lot of Theory. I’m kind of all over the map but it’s always things that are pretty non-fussy. My favorite dresses this year were a little black dress from Prada and a little black dress from Miu Miu. I wore the dress in front of my mom and she loved it and didn’t know it was Prada.
How do L.A. and New York style compare, in your views?
Joan: I think New York women have such style, and it’s not about money, it’s just the look and the pace and the activity. And in L.A., they’re very beautiful and they all look exactly alike, which is good because if we go to war they’re all in uniform. They’ve got the same bag, the same jeans, they’re exactly alike. New York women, they look like they’re going to an art opening. They look smart.
Melissa: New York is just more formal, but the women in L.A. are just as pulled together. It’s a totally different look, it just doesn’t have as much of an edge to it. It’s less severe.

You are not having a bad high. (ahem Miley) These really are some of the best looks of 2010. What would 2010 or fashion in general without those people that take risks and make us think?

These bad asses are always changing their style up all while keeping us guessing Click the most scandalous looks of the year.

Woops! I meant have it four ways...now that I have your attention. So many parties this holiday season let one dress do triple and quadroople the duty. Wear a simple black dress like this one from Asos ($31.04) and switch it up over and over. Go for a tough sexy look with the Biker Chic look, sparkle from head to toe in the All That Glitters look, cozy up with the Casual Cutie look and be like a modern Audrey Hepburn with the Classic Twist look. Either way you spin it no one will know that its the same dress over and over again. You can even use the oversized clutch each time!
