I am retiring this blog

I’ve decided due to overwork to retire this blog. Two blogs is too much for me – so if you like my style, come on over to Inside Out Style – where the science and art of style collide – for tips and information on getting your style sorted.

Gwen Stefani Proves that Accessories Make an Outfit

Imogen — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 12:49:48 +0000

Here is gorgeous Gwen Stefani with her 3 month old baby Zuma – who shows how you can still be very stylish even with a baby in tow. Notice the great hat and glasses, which take your attention right away from her otherwise more plain outfit. Even when you’re just in a white t-shirt and jeans, pop on some great sunnies and lipstick and a funky hat and you’re ahead of the pack.

David Sedaris’ Choosing Your Accessories

Women get so many options to try different sorts of accessories. The options are a little more limited for men, as author David Sedaris points out in this fabulous clip.

Pink Shows How Not to Wear Shooties

The new shoe/boot (shootie) is something that looks heaps better either with a really short skirt (if you’re young enough and your legs can take it) or my preference, with a nice pair of trousers.

These shooties are too gappy round the ankle to wear with a dress, and this dress is too long to wear with such a high vamp shoe.

It’s an interesting dress, but the outfit is killed by the bad shoe choice.

Beyonce’s Bustin’ Out at the MTV Awards

Imogen — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 11:33:27 +0000

This dress almost defies description. It’s space age meets corrugated iron. The issue I have with it – I understand it’s a costume for a performance, not something she’s likely to wear walking down the street – but it’s the fact that her black bike shorts appear to be busting out of the sides of the ‘dress’.

Oh my, oh my, oh my…

Celebrity Hair Extensions – Jessica Szohr

Imogen — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 09:15:25 +0000

Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr appears to have hair extensions, and unfortunately not the best ones I’ve ever seen. In fact they’re way too long and there is a big distinction between the length of her natural hair and the extensions, which appear thin and raggy.

Many celebrities sport extensions either because they can quickly go from short to long hair, but also often because they are super skinny, and so have thinning hair and need extensions to give them the appearance of fuller hair. This photo of Victoria Beckam shows the real truth of celebrity hair.

Hayden Panettiere is Gorgeous in Gold

Heroes star Hayden Panettiere is so gorgeous in this gold dress – the colour works with her warm complexion so well and she looks stunning. I just hope that she never decides to wear a silver dress cos it will wash her out.

Stick with the Gold Hayden!

Jessica Alba’s Knee-High Boots

Imogen — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 06:50:46 +0000

Cute pic of Jessica Alba out and about with her 4 month old daugher Honor Marie, and hubby Cash Warren. She’s in what should be a great pair of practical flat boots – essential for every Mum/Mom, but couldn’t she get a pair that fit her round the calf – they should be snug, and not look like a pair of wellington boots (gum boots), all sloppy at the calf. Plus all that slouch at the ankle does nothing for her legs. I think a trip to the boot maker is in order.

Chance Crawford – Ya Tie’s Too Short

Imogen — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 06:44:56 +0000

Here is a pic of Gossip Girl star Chance Crawford on set – now I’ve never seen the show (not shown here as yet), but I’m assuming he’s not playing the nerd character – so why is his tie not hitting his belt (or where his belt should be – where is his belt -did he lose it, or is he striding so purposefully to find the villian that stole it)?

Also – what’s with the iphone/pod in your pocket? Ruining the line of a pair of trousers stuffing crap in your pockets is just not the way to go either.

It’s these little details that make all the difference.

Lara Flynn Boyle Scares Me

Imogen — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 11:50:46 +0000

What bothers me most about Lara Flynn Boyle is:

Not her extreme skinny frame (she needs to eat something fatty right now!)

Not the fact she’s at some sort of black tie event and forgot her shoes

Not the fact that she dressed kind of like the wait staff at this black tie event

But her extreme plastic surgery. Her once pretty face has disappeared. What is left in it’s place is oversized and unatural looking lips, permanently surprised eyebrows, and skin that’s tighter than Warwick Capper’s Shorts (sorry, you have to be Australian to understand that reference).

I do believe she’s completely gone off the boil.
