Mommy Love

I agree.

Bollywood Fashion Police

Beyonce she’s not, but then again, Beyonce is not normal.  Who gets into post-baby shape like this two months after birth!?  Aishwarya on the other hand, normal.  This is what mommy looks like post pregnancy, losing weight realistically and healthfully.  Update – Lara was also at the same awards and must say, another normal woman that all of us women could look up to for realistic expectations of post-pregnancy weight loss.

SHOWSTOPPERS

She guang Hu Collection
(very Gaga-esque don't you think?)

She guang Hu Collection

She guang Hu Collection
(talk about a little black dress that could...)

She guang Hu Collection
(if I could sum this one up in a sentence it would be called "Gaga meets Elvira, mistress of the dark")

She guang Hu Collection
(the head-dress is a statement on its own, looks like the hair had to be styled into the hat)

She guang Hu Collection
(this one actually reminds of a Falguni and Shane Peacock creation)

She guang Hu Collection
(a sea of head dresses that pop)

Magic Fur Wu Xuekai Collection A/W 2012-2013
(Angelina Jolie has started a revolution with the 'thigh high slit' that inspires you to put your best foot forward, she was certainly not the first to do it but she seems to have started a trend following her now infamous Oscar leg)

FASHION x REALITY TV: ANTM 18 03 – KELLY CUTRONE TAKES OUT A BRIT

In retrospect, this episode was funny. While I was watching it, yeah not so much but it’s great that we can look back on it now and laugh.
