Celebrity Fashion Trends - Cowboy Boots
If you have noticed, a hot trend in Hollywood right now is wearing cowboy boots with a dress. Young Hollywood Celebs have all been seen out and about in their boots. But how can you get the same look without spending a ton? It's simple, find yourself a great pair of boots, I would recommend a pair you would wear with denim as well so you can get a lot of use out of your boots, and find some summer dresses at stores like American Eagle and Old Navy. Shopping for the exact dress that a celeb is sporting could get expensive but you can find comparable looks at fraction of the price.
For the most part, you want your boots to stick out for this look. Pick a pair that have a cool design or feature different textures and leathers. Finding a contrasting inlay in the boot or some distinctive stitching in the upper will really have people checking out your boots and you will be sure to get a ton of compliments. I would recommend Justin Boots or Laredo, you can find a great pair for less than $150.
When selecting your dress make sure to find something that is light and airy and doesn't have too much going on. You don't want your boots and your dress to be competing. If you go simple with the dress, you can go a little crazier on the boots but if you have a dress with a lot going on in the pattern, try selecting a plainer designed boot. I would recommend a solid color dress or something with a floral pattern. Also, skirts can go great with boots, too. Try pairing a ruffled skirt with a blouse or tank top.

Understanding Celebrity Styles
While we can't all be famous, we can at least try to look like famous people. That's the basic theory behind the media's obsession with celebrity fashion. Consumers frequently look to those in the spotlight to decide what clothing to buy and how to wear it, but how do celebrities decide what to wear? The answer to this question is actually quite complicated, and celebrity fashion is subject to a unique combination of factors. From wearing popular brand names to emphasizing their character look, celebrities go through a lot to decide what goes into their closet.
Celebrities and designer labels are tied together in an interdependent relationship. For the stars, wearing a well-known label can increase their image and appeal. Meanwhile, brand names receive marketing benefits from having popular celebrities wear their products. Big designers know how important celebrity support is. That's why they frequently provide stars with new styles for free. For major events, like the Oscars or the Grammy's, designers will even create custom dresses for high-profile stars. This helps showcase a fashion creator's skill and keeps celebrities in the spotlight.
For some stars, wearing popular designs is not enough. They want to take their style to the next level by creating their own pieces. Thus, celebrity fashion lines, like those run by P. Diddy and Gwen Stefani, have been on the rise in recent years. The amount of direct input each celebrity has in their own line varies. However, these star-inspired lines are ultimately based on their creator's personal style. So, when a costumer buys a pair of Beyonce's House of Deron shoes or a t-shirt from Justin Timberlake's William Rast line, he or she can truly feel like they are channeling a bit of celebrity style.
A unique appearance is vital to survival in the spotlight. Thus, regardless of whose create the clothing, a star's goal is to put the pieces together to create a signature look. Whether it's Paris Hilton trying to look preppy and feminine or Avril Lavigne portraying a female punk rocker, every star has an image they want to portray. Without this personal style, a celebrity could get lost in the Hollywood crowd.
Ultimately, celebrity style has turned into a competition. Media outlets make considerable profit by critiquing everything from a star's pants to their earrings and hairstyle. Although many celebrities say they are above this paparazzi frenzy, few could truly deny its influence. No star wants to be bashed for their choice of shoes, and looking stylish keeps fans happy and can garner new attention. Thus, the media industry has now become one of the driving forces behind celebrity styles.
Despite potential criticism, stars can truly make any look work for them. With the right publicity, a celebrity can wear almost anything, and, as is frequently the case, virtually nothing. It's all a matter of public perception. Subsequently, styles change rapidly to suit fans and media gurus. Keeping up with celebrity fashion can be nearly impossible, but that hasn't stopped countless consumers from trying.

As Seen on Celebrities
It's hard to explain exactly why this current fascination with celebrity clothing is so widespread. In part, the celebrity fashion phenomenon might be due to different people wanting to look and dress like celebrities for different reasons. Some of those reasons might be easier to explain and understand than others.
As seen on Celebrities Clothing is about clothing worn by celebrities. By definition, celebrities are popular and well-known. Many celebrities are so famous they aren't even able to leave their homes without being recognized and bothered by fans trying to get autographs. When my sisters and I were young, we always felt we had to look great before we left the house, and I'm sure celebrities feel the same way. When celebrities leave home they never know who they will see or who will be poised to take their photo, so they always go out looking their best. Many celebrities wish things were different, but there are many "ordinary" people who wish they were that popular and had their own group of avid fans.
Every time you turn your television on and watch a fashion show or the news, every time you read a fashion magazine, and every time you visit an online celebrity gossip website, you have a good chance of seeing a celebrity being complimented about his or her fashion sense and good taste in clothing. Although many "ordinary" people wish they received those types of compliments, most do not get them all that often. This desire for compliments about their clothing is one of the many things that inspire people to try to keep up with celebrity fashions and copy them in any way they can. Some people think the current celebrity clothing phenomenon is nothing but an unhealthy obsession, but in fact there is nothing wrong with keeping pace with the latest fashions worn by celebrities.
There is one key thing to remember, though: just because a particular style or color looks great on a celebrity does not mean it's guaranteed to look great on you. Always keep that in mind when you're buying celebrity clothing. The cost of clothing and fashion accessories is not an issue for many celebrities because of their almost unlimited financial resources, but the cost might be significant for you. Yes, you can dress like a celebrity if that's what you want, but remember that celebrity fashions come and go on a regular basis. There's no need for you to go into debt trying to buy the newest trend when it might only be "hot" for a few weeks. The reason I really started my business is to help everyone who wants to look like a celebrity.

Different Types and Makes of Leggings
Leggings have had a lot of transformation since their introduction in the 14th Century. Everyone uses them to serve different purposes. There are those who use them as a protective covering against bodily harm while others put it on for fashion.
Military leggings were introduced in the 19th Century. These were being worn by war soldiers in order to protective their lower parts of the leg so that dirt didn't get to enter their shoes. They also did and they still give support to the ankle. These particular leggings were fastened with buttons. They also extended beyond the knee area in order to support the ankles as well as the knees. They use vanished slowly in later years. However, they are of great importance as they helped in shaping the modern day soldier shoe-the combat shoes.
Shiny leggings on the other hand first hit the market in the 21st Century. They have a shiny, wet-like and metallic look. They became popular in 2008 and have on top of the fashion list ever since. These are made of spandex and nylon and are made of many colors. One can therefore match them up with just anything. Mostly, they are in gold, black and silver colors. However, they have to be worn in the right place and event. Mostly, they will do well when worn in the evenings or at parties and in clubs. They have continuously been featured on top most fashion runways. Celebrities who have high praise for them include artistes like Kelly Clarkson, Lindsey Lohan and Rihanna.
The Jennings are a mixture of the leggings and the jeans. They resemble jeans but also may appear like leggings though with zip flies and faux pockets. Modern leggings on the other hand are the most common ones today. They are common in younger women and worn with skirts, dress tops, short dresses and tops. Some people prefer to wear them with flat shoes and other with high heels. The trend has become so fashionable such that even other designer want to add a thing or two in their designs. This is evident with the now very common skinny jeans. Sports personalities, runners, dancers and even cheer leaders have not been left behind in adopting them. They help retain the body heat, give a sense of fashion and also hide the naked flesh.

Fall 2010 Fashion Trends - Fur and Fifties
Just when it looked like fur was on its way out the door it made its comeback with a bang during the Fall 2010 runway season. Another fashion trend which has made its way back to the forefront is '50s glamor with an emphasis on cleavage, pencil skirts, and many more of everybody's favorite throwback styles.
Fall Fur is Fabulous Again
Peta members will be none to pleased to find out that despite their various celebrity-driven "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaigns, fur is back. Thankfully, faux fur is easy to find, it looks just like the real thing, and it is considerably more affordable. Even the great Karl Lagerfeld has given his stamp of approval on faux fur by displaying it throughout the Chanel runway show!
As far as fabulous fashion decades are concerned, the fifties is at the top because of its trendsetting ability and sheer longevity. Celebrities like Zooey Deschanel, Rachel Bilson, and Chloe Sevigny have always made it cool to wear vintage clothes but this Autumn '10 season, retro fashion will be one of the hottest trends.
One way the '50s era stood out on the runways was with the prevalence of cleavage. This was quite a departure because cleavage is usually saved for swimsuit and lingerie shows, but not this time around. The Nina Ricci collection for instance showed curve-hugging pencil skirts paired with a bustier for maximum curves. Perhaps Chrisina Hendricks from Mad Men is to thank for the surge of body-hugging, retro looks since the same trend was also seen on the runways of Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana.
