So I have been watching Ugly Betty again, trying to figure out how to become Marc St. James and it has totally inspired me. If you are a fan of the show you know that she is notorious for mix prints, colors and has an all across the board wild style. With that said, it wasn't all bad. If you took away a couple of things..it would make for a really chic ensemble. So if you want to stand out and have a unique style to call your own, try mixing prints and patterns. The key is to keep the colors within those prints in the same family. Look at the above looks for inspiration and if those aren't enough look to your favorite celebs like Olivia Palermo, Kelly Osbourne, Diane Kruger and Rihanna for tips.

Okay so obviously sequins are huge, it is an easy go to when you want to feel sexy and turn some heads. With that said, sequins can go from good to bad very easily. Just look at any Real Housewife. There is no need to over do it. Let your dress talk for you. By piling on accessories you detract from the dress and look cheesy. Look to style mavens like Jennifer Aniston and Blake Lively for tips. Keep it simple and sexy ladies! Enjoy! X

Craic Crush: Nicholas Kirkwood Pumps Posted by S&M NY , Tuesday, August 14, 2012 at 6:16 PM, in Labels: Celeb Craic, Craic Crush

 Like most shoe lovers I have been a fan of Nicholas Kirkwood and his innovative designs for quite some time now. He never stops creating beautiful footwear that pushes the envelope and looks significantly different from most other designers. While I am not a fan of a chunky heel (please don't bring back the 90's) this one just works. It could be because of his pairing with fame designer Erdem that these shoes really work. The soft, abstract, murky beautiful print paired with the black and clear acetate heel makes for a stunning masterpiece. The pump contains a 4.5 inch heel with a 1 inch concealed platform. Get your own pair at Net-A-Porter for $1,395.00. I hope to see celeb fans like Sarah Jessica Parker, Britney Spears, Kelly Rowland and Miranda Kerr rocking them on the carpet! What do you think of Nicholas Kirkwood and Erdem's creation?

If you are like me you like to stand out. I'm not really a plain tee kind of guy...if I am rocking a plain tee you can bet that my accessory game is sick and making up for it. Now one of my favorite things since I was a teen are just corny, stupid tee shirts with sometimes witty sayings on them. Not only does it show that you have a mild sense of humour and you don't take yourself too seriously it also is a conversation starter and hell who doesn't like that! Here are a few of my favorites that I stumbled upon today. Don't be shy guys, celebs like Zac Efron and Justin Bieber do it all the time and we all know how much the girls and gays love them! You can buy your favorite at Nordstrom from $28-$38

An Open Letter to Christina Aguilera.. Posted by S&M NY , at 12:46 AM, in Labels: Celeb Craic, Craic'y Spotlight, Craic'y Tip

 Aguilera's promo pic for her new album

Dear Christina Aguilera,

Do you remember when you were on top of the charts? Do you remember when you were buzzed about for your big beautiful voice? Me either. It seems like these days you cant catch a break girl. Your albums have become consumed with concepts as opposed to amazing material...I mean you gave me 50 songs (highly unnecessary) from the roaring 20's then about 12 crappy ones from the "future" While you copy so many of the current chart toppers...why don't you do this..copy putting out an amazing album like them. You don't need gimmicks. What you do need is a stylist girl...a good one. I don't know what trusty gay you have surrounded yourself with that tells you "bitch you are flawless" and to "just have a kiki" but honey they gots to go! Lets see the girl behind the clown. Clean up your hair and makeup regimen, introduce some color into that wardrobe, gravitate to daring and more interesting silhouettes and drop that single already. With that said, I have enclosed four looks for you. I hope you will take them into consideration. I am rooting for you girl! I hope that your Max Martin single is a smash hit. I really do. I will dance to it all night! Pinky promise. Just before this oh so important time in your career...look at your girl Britney Spears..who once again is doing it better (way better) then you. XO

Forever your girl,
Scotty

Now this is how its done ladies! Elegant, sophisticated, glamorous, modern and sexy all wrapped into two delicious packages. Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale rocked the red carpet in Berlin yesterday for their film Total Recall. Biel chose a sleek sequined Elie Saab gown with a Fendi clutch, while Beckinsale opted for a lovely long sleeved white Naeem Khan  dress ( Sorry Countess Luann, I guess she beat you to it) with Christian Louboutin shoes. Both ladies looked divine in their own right. I declare a tie! What do you think?

Christina Aguilera is Purple Imperfect Posted by S&M NY , at 4:29 AM, in Labels: Celeb Craic

Demi Lovato called and she wants her hair back. Christina Aguilera appeared at the NBC press junket for The Voice in Los Angeles rocking her new purple hue do. At 31, the purple locks make the singer look tired and behind the times. Not to mention but is that a legging? Ugh. With over ten years in the business you would think that she would have it figured out by now. Aguilera needs to be on point more then ever. With a new album upon us and a new single (produced by major hit maker Max Martin) dropping later this month, it's time the singer tones down her loud style and keeps the focus on her loud voice. No one needs another Bionic flop. What do you think of Xtina's purple tresses?

Craic'y Trend Report: Shoulder Sexy Posted by S&M NY , Tuesday, August 7, 2012 at 5:19 PM, in

Covering up has never looked so good. Sometimes it what you dont show can garner you the most attention. A sultry slouched shoulder can be sexier then cleavage or legs combine. When getting ready think about covering up and choosing pieces that will stand out in a crowd. Look to your favorite celebs like Hedi Klum, Beyonce and Katy Perry for inspiration!
