Hot or Not: Turbans??


































Hmmm...i'm not quite sure what to make of this trend. Part of me thinks it's super cool because it is very exotic and Middle Eastern, but the other part of me is thinking "what is she wearing??". Jennifer Lopez looks like she is undergoing cancer treatment and Salma Hayek kind of looks like a boy (even though she is sooo feminine). Sarah Jessica Parker's character 'Carrie' wore a turban in Sex and the City 2 - we can pretty much always expect Carrie to have an eclectic wardrobe! Kate Moss can pretty much wear anything she wants because she is always able to pull it off. Maybe the fact that she is one of the highest paid models helps somewhat? Finally, I don't mind Nicole Scherzinger's turban in that picture...in fact she wears it very well. I think my issue with turbans is that they make your head look like a cone (Nicole), a box (Salma), or a cover up for  baldness (Jennifer). What do YOU think of the turban trend? Would YOU wear one??
xoxo,
Jess

Crazy Nails!

Holy Cow! Look at these nails!! Both Rihanna and Katy Perry have gorgeous NEON nails (I am beyond obsessed with neon, I have to do a neon post soon!)
I lovelovelove the pink animal print nails. I'm not sure I could ever do that myself but they look luscious!
The silver nails have binary code on them...very...original? I wouldn't put that on my nails but it sure is different.
The bottom left nails are Katy Perry's 'royal wedding' nails...she someone managed to have stickers (?) of Prince William and his wife stuck on... talk about dedication to the British monarchy. Doesn't she live in the United States?
Last but not least, the bottom right image is...drum roll please...Lady Gaga's nails! Surprise, surprise, not. Not only are they insanely long, but it looks like she could cut up a thick steak with those things. Pairing the nails with that leather knuckle duster/instrument of death glove makes them look that much scarier. I have the ask the question...WHY?

The picture below is of my nails, NEON PINK! I did them myself, as you can tell, but I just had to show you guys seeing as I am a big fan of bold colours and statement pieces. What colour/pattern do you want on YOUR nails??
