Breakfast Television - Fall Fashion

September is here and parents are sending their kids off to school and summer travels are coming to an end...but have no fear! Fall clothing is here!!!

I love fall clothing because of the fabrics, textures, colours and layering. On behalf of the CORE Shopping Centre and Styleista I went on BT Calgary yesterday to present my take on fall fashion. The top trends for women are: Leather & Leopard, Oxblood & Fall Florals and Mixing Prints. For men I focused on layering.

VMA's 2013 - Things That Make You Go...Hmmmmm?

The Video Music Awards went down last night in New York City and I woke up this morning with a bad impression of the whole thing overall. 

Yes, it is pop culture and yes there needs to be exciting and new content to keep the audience interested and engaged but NO we do not need to be exposed to crappy lip syncing, simply bad choreography and horrid performance outfits! 

Please see below for my top 3 moments that got my attention

#1 Miley Cyrus being completely talentless and has the most horrendous fashion of the year thus far - in my opinion.

This is called a 'red carpet' look?

Please, please, please put your tongue back in your mouth!

#2 Lady Gaga's performance outfit which ends up being her, sit down and watch the show outfit?

Even for Gaga this is bad! 

Far right...she is still in the shell swimsuit. Why?

#3 The fact that Taylor Swift is still making every public event into a 'who dumped me or made me feel bad in anyway' spectacle.

As some of you may or may not know Ms. Swift was at one point dated a boy bander from the group One Direction. And when his group goes up on stage to accept an award she gets caught on camera mouthing 'Shut the F-up'. Seriously? And then, when she wins for I Knew You Were Trouble, she makes a point of calling out the person who inspired the song – “you know who you are”. Remember John Mayer and Kanye West...she is still making references to those two!

Like enough is enough....grow up and act like a lady! 

Points for good dress, hair and makeup

On a positive note...Taylor Swift did have a gorgeous dress on with great hair and makeup...10 points but minus 11 for acting like you are still in high school! Still in the negative T Swift ;) 

That is a mini version of my rant...overall I just think the comittee at the VMA's need to tighten the reigns and make a slicker, more polished show or the by 2018 its just going to be a strip show to lip-syncing "artists". 

Cheers!
