Flatter Your Figure - Grandma Gets Gorgeous

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Flatter Your Figure

Often, fashion trends focus on a very specific demographic. A very, young, very thin demographic. And to be honest, we aren't willing to define beauty in those terms -- beautiful women can be found at any age, and at any size. Sometimes, though, they just need a little help figuring out how to best flaunt what they've got.

Combining Czech glass and gemstones with this naturally eco-friendly fiber, her pieces have us looking at hemp in a new light.

Self-defense stilettos

Filed under: Shoes

When we heard about Self-Defense Stilettos, we have to admit that we got really excited. We pictured shoes with a James Bond-esque component, like a button to shoot pepper spray out of the heel or a hidden compartment in the platform for a stun gun or something.

Criminal fashion: Swedish prisoners get new designer uniforms

Filed under: Style in the News

While we don't usually follow the latest trends at prison fashion shows, we do like to keep up with fashion crimes and cruel and unusual fashion punishment. This news would fall into the latter category. Apparently, Sweden's female inmate uniforms -- consisting of unisex gray t-shirts and sweatpants -- have long been considered a crime against femininity by the Swedish Prison and Probation Service.

That's why a group of student designers were asked to get the ladies into some respectable rags. Aspiring fashionistas from the Beckmans School of Design went to work at designing cheap, durable and more effeminatly-colored uniforms. The new styles will allow women to carry out their sentences with a bit of self-esteem and individuality -- since the new uniforms will include subtle variations. Also, since many of the inmates happen to be meth-addicts, the uniforms can expand as they gain weight.

The school may have designed the more humane outfits, but they're not doing all the work -- inmates will construct the uniforms. BTW, this is not a picture of of the new uniforms.

Animal Fashion takes over the runway

Filed under: Runway Trends, Accessories, Clothing



Some of the outfits we see on the runway during fashion week are totally outlandish and unnatural. Or so you might think.

Over at Lemondrop, the new AOL site for women, they have an amazing gallery that pairs wild runway with the wild kingdom. It turns out all those designers are just visiting the zoo or watching a lot National Geographic documentaries.

Birds, lizards, snakes and aquatic life come in some pretty wild shapes and colors...which is not to say we want to turn them into hats, shoes or bags. But we wouldn't turn our noses up at some of the "inspired by" fashions in the gallery. That gold ram headdress is perfect for a cocktail we're going to next week!

Fashionable football fans - Options for the ladies

Filed under: Clothing


Football season is upon us, and we here at StyleList could not be more excited. We love the fervor leading up to the game. We love the social aspect and the tailgating. And, of course, we love football itself, even if some of the uniforms aren't as stylish as we'd like.

When attending a game, tailgate. or party, you probably want to wear something that shows your support for your team. However, this year we're going to ask you to get a little creative. Do you really think your old t-shirt and jeans is the best ensemble you can come up with? You dress well every other day, especially for social events -- this should be no different.

Go topless - it's your right!

Filed under: Style for a Cause


If, ahem, plus sized men can show their assets on the beach, then women should be able to do the same. GoTopless.org is "a US organization, claiming that women have the same constitutional right to be bare chested in public places as men."

Andrea Savage gives guys a clue

Filed under: Men, Celebrities with Style, Style Tip of the Day



(Click the photo for Andrea's 10 tips on having sex with women)

If you read Esquire, and you really should, then you are familiar with the monthly feature "Ten Things You Don't Know About Women" in which a very attractive female celebrity throws out 10 chunks of insightful knowledge. In theory these nuggets of wisdom, if heeded, should have such positive results as better dates or a stronger marriage- if nothing else they should help a guy get lucky.

This month it was Andrea Savage of Step Brothers that offered up the 411 on the fairer, less hairy and better smelling sex.

Here are a few of her suggestions:

  • Wedding rings need to be sparkly to remind us not to have sex with other people.
  • If teenage boys knew that no matter what they look like, knowing how to dance will get them laid at every wedding they attend in their twenties, cotillions would be wait-list only.
  • We don't understand your fascination with boobs, but we're happy you have it.

See, that's the kind of stuff your buddies could never tell you, no matter how many beers you have. That's wisdom, Holmes.

Here's the whole enchilada:

Eva Mendes seems to be everywhere lately, and almost always naked. We aren't complaining.

The above video (assuming that YouTube hasn't pulled it for boob-related reasons) is an ad for Calvin Klein's latest fragrance for women, Secret Obsession. It was banned from television due to some finding it a bit steamy- and nipply.
