Muubaa makes great leather jackets that are made of soft washed leather and great styling.The jacket seen on Kristen Stewart in the photo has sold out. But, one of my very favorite leather jackets from Muubaa from their holiday 2011 season is the Muubaa Sessile Funnel Biker Jacket in Anthracite . One of the best features of this leather jacket that makes it so flattering is the length that is not too cropped, but cropped enough to sit above the hip for that sexy edge.

Gypsy 05 Fashion Runway Show for Spring/Summer 2012 and Party

2011-11-02T18:01:00.000-07:00

Last night we were lucky enough to attend the Gypsy 05 Spring/Summer 2012 Fashion Show held at the historic Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles. The evening opened with a red carpet and outdoor cocktail party that was eclectic as it was packed with celebrities, designers and the media. From different cocktails stations to jewelry designer display, there was a little something for everyone.
Moving inside for the show, the space was massive and definitely made a statement about the importance of the show we were about to see. The theme for the show was "Ancient & Modern Elements Unite" and that was certainly portrayed from the staging to the pieces themselves. The looks were inspired by the mystery and intrigue of the Native American culture with the goal of awakening the senses and channeling the inner spirits of everyone in the audience. The design-duo Dotan and Osi Shoham definitely achieved this, as guests were enraptured from the opening mystical dance number through the entire show, as the music and almost 3-D like background images that made for a perfect atmosphere for the beautiful collection.

The Gypsy 05 collection paid homage to the elements through the vibrant earth-toned palette mixed with fiery prints. Luxe fabrics, lace insets and asymmetrical hemlines added a whimsical elegance, while fringe accents, belted detailing and paisley patterns offer something new for this already wildly successful women's collection. The men's looks were equally as relaxed, modern and functional, drawing influence from the environment's organic components. The men's pieces ranged from basic tees and tanks to plush pullovers and cargo sweats.

The evening wrapped up with a VIP party featuring the music of Jeremy Piven's band, Bad Decisions.

L.A. Fashion Week Highlight: Frederick's of Hollywood Swimwear @ Project Ethos

2011-10-27T18:50:00.000-07:00

A month ago in New York, a fashion fuse was lit that reached around the globe, and finally fashionistas, Fashion Week has come to the land of glitz and glamour. Los Angeles Fashion Week is arguably one of the biggest fashion arenas for West Coast designers to showcase their newest designs for the season. We have the inside scoop on all of the exhibitions and runways to come for this exciting week. So, take a front seat with us and check out LA Fashion Week with us at www.wikifashionista.com.

Leave it up to Project Ethos to kick things off with a sexy showcase of swimsuits. California is all about taking it off and enjoying the perfect weather. From the beach to poolside at one of LA’s upscale 5 star hotels, it’s all about what you wear when getting wet. Nothing screams LA more than sending a bunch of models dressed in sultry two-pieces and heels. Check out a few of our favorite highlights from the Frederick’s of Hollywood swimwear collection below.

If there is a sexier word than “sexy,” then it would apply to this two-piece black and silver embellished strappy bikini. We especially find the ringlets holding the thick straps in place at the front of the swimsuit to be a uniquely fierce detail.

Next up is this earthy two-piece paired with a Pocahontas mini wrap. The white bikini sports some appealing tan and turquoise beading in all of the right places. The stand out detail of this outfit is the super sexy fringe wrap that ties at the side.

Last but not least is this cheetah print string bikini. The standard drawstring bra top is balanced by the unique bikini bottom boasting a mix of conservative and laissez-faire double string tie design. This swimsuit is flirty with a capital “F” to say the least.

We feel like summer is so much closer after seeing what fun swimwear possibilities we can look forward to from the Frederick’s of Hollywood collection. We have to say that they definitely covered their bases from fierce to earthy to flirty glam sexy. We can tell that the collection was meant to have something for every girl.

Reblog: Femme Fashionista Must Have: BCBG Max Azria Dresses

2011-10-06T19:46:00.000-07:00

Our femme fashionista must have pick this month is BCBG Max Azria dresses. The famous bandage dress has been the “It” dress for the past few years. Everyone from Victoria Beckham to Ashley Simpson has been pictured wearing dresses from Max Azria. These dresses are for the fit and fabulous for sure and are better known as Hervé Léger by Max Azria. Make no mistake this super sexy dress will show off all of your curves. Below are some celebrities that wore the dress best.

Wearing her Hervé Léger by Max Azria dress to the launch of her perfume in Germany, Katy Perry wore one of the more classic designs. The warp dress crossed the singers’ famous bust elegantly and cinched her figure down to her knees. Perry is known for choosing outrageous outfits, but this look was toned down and perfect. We love the lavender.

Jessica Szohr wore her BCBG to a Hervé Léger by Max Azria Spring 2011 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week last year. The former gossip girl looked stunningly fit in the black cut out and mesh form fitting dress. The daring sheer fabric on the mid section add another level of sex appeal to this otherwise simple dress.

Kim Kardashian wore this form fitting Hervé Léger by Max Azria to a Las Vegas opening. The super sexy dress is quite intricate with a nude underlay with black detailing on top. The knee length dress hugs her figure straight down to the knees. This dress from the spring 2011 collection was definitely made for Kim.

Katherine McPhee turned heads in her Hervé Léger by Max Azria nude bandage dress in New York. McPhee’s slender body looked great in the barely there dress. A+ for Katherine for looking super sexy post her American Idol days.

Britney Spears wore a Hervé Léger by Max Azria design to Wango Tango music concert last year. The super fit celebrity looked super sexy in the hot pink maze print strapless wrap dress. We really love how Britney has cleaned up in the past year and a half. We’re so team Britney.

We’re a fan of Brooklyn Decker in her pink Hervé Léger by Max Azria worn at the ESPY awards. The dress doesn’t fit the thin supermodel as tight as it does some of the other celebrities we’ve seen, but she is really filling out the top of the dress well. The tank dress look works for the beautiful blonde.

Reblog - Exclusive Look: WikiFashionista.com Street Style Video Contest Winner Zoe B. Shows Us Her Swag

2011-10-06T18:16:00.000-07:00

Look whose winning fashionistas! Zoe B. is coming to you from Century City, CA where she’s giving you an inside exclusive look at the newest fashion goodies she’s added to her wardrobe. Zoe selected some stylish fashion accessories from, Handbag Heaven, Affordable Scarves, Sunglass Warehouse and Shiekh Shoes. Check out the video of Zoe rocking her grand prize winnings in the video. And, below is a review on the items Zoe B. chose from the sponsors of the WikiFashionista.com street style video contest as well. Don’t forget to keep checking back for new street style videos at wikifashionista.com, where we speak to real girls, wearing real fashion, in real-time.

Retro Style Black Sunglasses

Starting from head to toe, Zoe selected the SW Retro Style Black Sunglasses with smoked lenses from Sunglass Warehouse. This ultra cool website is where the smart fashionistas go to get the hottest luxury inspired sunglasses for less. Nothing burns more than to scratch, break or lose and expensive pair of shades. And let’s face it, we all have done it at one time or another, which is why owning luxury accessories, can leave you feeling more grief than chic. Zoe’s Ray-ban inspired sunglasses would cost her a lot more than the similar Retro shades she’s wearing in the video.

Amanda Circle Scarf

Zoe selected the Amanda Circle Scarf in Red, because that’s her favorite color. As seen in the video, the infinity scarf double loops casually around the neck creating a layered look. The thing that is so attractive about infinity scarves is its versatility. You can also wear it as a shrug, through the arms and around the neck. You can also wear it more Beverly Hills chic by lacing one end through the other around the neck. There’s really an infinite amount of possible ways to wear this piece.

Jamie Buckle Satchel

Next, Zoe scored the Jamie Buckle Satchel from our friends at Handbag Heaven. Zoe is currently a working college student, so naturally she selected a handbag for a fashionista on the go that will accommodate her school necessities and transition nicely to a work setting. The Jamie Buckle Satchel has two front strap closures and turn lock claps to keep the contents of the bag secure. The two toned color block Tan/Olive handbag also has handy long shoulder strap, which gives a chic messenger bag look to it.

Fantasik Wedges

Last but certainly not least, Zoe went with the Fantasik High Heel Wedges in black courtesy of Shiekh Shoes. Judging by her video response, Zoe absolutely loves these ultra high platform wedges with color block heel. We love the edgy thick straps and sexy peep toe front. The Fantasik Wedges will add 5 ½ inches to your current height, so if you’re the kind of fashionista that loves to be super high like Zoe then Shiekh Shoes has what you’re looking for.

Show Your Pride with Rainbow Flip-Flops

2011-10-04T18:42:00.000-07:00

If you like colorful things and is on your way to the beach then why not wear a pair of rainbow flip-flops? Aside from having a vibrant pair of flops on the sandy beach you can also show your pride with rainbow flip-flops!

What do you mean by showing pride using these pair of thongs?
The rainbow is a symbol of the gay community or homosexuals. That is during their so-called Pride Parade it is filled with vibrant colors more commonly known as the rainbow.

But this isn’t just the main reason why people should be wearing rainbow flip-flops . Aside from being proud as being a gay person, it is also a way of straight people in supporting them and defeating homophobia.

Colorful rainbow flip-flops are really nice when worn in the sun and in the beach. You can never miss them from afar if ever you took them off while taking a dive in the beckoning waves of the ocean. Or if you want to be noticed, slipping a pair of these will definitely get eyes checking you out.

There is also a brand Rainbow that sells sandals and flip-flops.
But the problem with Rainbow flip-flops can be seen when cleaning them and if you know how to clean them properly, then it is something that you should definitely be proud of but if you don’t then here are a few tips.

Though some of these branded Rainbow Flip-flops aren’t colorful and are made with leather, cleaning them can be quite daunting but this shouldn’t dishearten you.

Dampen a cloth with warm water. Add a little bit of dish-washing soap, but not enough to make the cloth too sudsy. Rub the cloth gently over dirty areas on the Rainbow flip-flops to spot clean. Use an old toothbrush to scrub debris off your leather Rainbows; use a professional leather cleaner for tough jobs.

Submerge 100-percent plastic Rainbows in a bucket of soapy water. Soak for five minutes and plunge several times to break apart caked debris. Wash all over with a sponge, scrubbing firmly on dirty areas. Air-dry in full sun.

Wash 100-percent hemp Rainbows in the washing machine. Run the cycle (preferably "hand-wash cycle") in cold water, with only a little laundry detergent. Air-dry Rainbows in the full sun for at least six hours. Use a stain remover pen (or spray) on white hemp versions, as this may help clean the fabric. Do not clean with this option if the Rainbows are made of leather or plastic materials.

2011-09-06T18:53:00.000-07:00

We all know that nothing melts a woman’s heart like diamonds does. But of course the ring you choose should fit her personality and style.

The most important and most commonly overlooked aspect when it comes to selecting an unbreakable diamond ring is to keep your sweetheart’s taste in mind. A lot of guys want to impress their woman by “picking it out themselves” and this often leads to a scenario where she “happily’ accepts the ring. She may actually be thinking she hates it but will feel compelled to wear it because you picked it out with love. This is a scene you don’t want to commit.

By keeping her in mind and paying attention to her preferences, you will express your love with an unbreakable diamond ring that she will adore. For example, watch her the next time a jewelry ad comes on tv or the next time you pass a jewelry store window. Pay close attention to her reactions to certain pieces, even those being worn by other people. Why not dare to make a casual comment like “That looks nice!” and see what sort of reaction you get. Women love to give subtle clues when it comes to diamond rings. Unfortunately, men don’t always pick up on them.

Also it’s a must that you know what sort of rings she keeps, we are not talking about her grandmother’s ring she only wears on special occasions here. Take note of the diamond ring she wears on a regular basis for these will be the pieces that will guide you to getting the perfect diamond ring to give her and the ones you will take from discount shopping online!

Getting the Right Street Style Garments

2011-08-22T17:59:00.000-07:00

You may think that fashion trends are dictated only by the big names in the industry that includes Giorgio Armani, Christian Dior and several other big names in the clothing industry. What most people are not aware of is street style vêtements are actually what motivates these big names in their clothing design to create a look that would match and suit the masses.

If you’ll notice, big names, together with Banana Republic, Old Navy, Gap, Adidas, Nike and Dickies, are all coming up with a look that screams street style fashion, yet at the same time, these branded clothes have created t-shirts for streetwear because they know that those who would make them earn the most would be people—ordinary people—who choose street style type of clothing for their day to day outfit.

This is why although you can say that t-shirts are the most common outfit and clothing that dominate the wardrobe of both men and women, when you have a brand attached to it, you have a more unique and exclusive apparel that stands out more.

Trendy, fashionable, and stylish, these are the adjectives that big brands are always going for. They wish to cater to the needs and tastes of the ordinary populace of men and women, at the same time, they wish to still be “above” the rest in terms of creating that street style fashion look with their unique branding that is distinctively Gap, or distinctively American Eagle, and so on. So while there is street style fashion, there is also a more expensive and exclusive brand of streetwear that are out in the market, catering to the more elite and influential.

A Synopsis on Street Style Fashion

2011-08-22T17:52:00.000-07:00

Street style fashion, or more commonly called streetwear, first became a trend in the 80s that was mostly made up of skateboard apparel. It can be defined as a nice mix of the sneaker and the hipster culture with a touch of vintage-style sneakers.

The common misconception of people regarding street style fashion is some think they are the same with hip hop clothing. This is quite far from the truth. In general, hip hop fashion consists of baggy clothing such as oversized pants that hangs below the waist and extra large shirts.

Street style fashion consists of your basic type of clothing. It is mostly made up of your everyday casual clothing like your normal pair of jeans, shirts and kicks with a personal touch of customization.

Street style clothing was forgotten and ignored, but Japan was the country that adopted this urban fashion until it became huge internationally once again. Many countries have their own labels. From Japan, it spread to Europe and then over to North America. Many tried to earn respect in the business while neglecting the designs.

This type of clothing is not about following the latest trends or wearing all things you see in the latest magazines. It’s about creating your own look, the look that looks nice on you and really represents who you are as a person. It is the sense of individuality that makes street style fashion so popular.

This type of clothing is all about being innovative. It is not about following the latest trends and wearing the things you see in the magazines. It is about reinventing your own look. The look that you think suits you best and really shows who you are as a person. It is the sense of independence and originality that makes this type of clothing so famous.

Fashion does not come cheap, and it’s the same case with street style fashion. The fashion enthusiasts who are into authentic and original brands will have to pay a hefty price to sport that hip urban look.

Buying such clothing, branding and creating your own individuality will help you stand out from a crowd, and you will not be considered or labeled with a specific type of group.

2011 Street Style for Women

2011-08-22T17:39:00.000-07:00

The 2011 street style for women has arrived. Maintain a comfortable and fashionable personality. Transparent clothes are actually back again and one shouldered dresses will be everywhere—on TV screens and on the streets. Jeans are still not going anywhere soon. The urban girl has the flexibility to get between creative pieces of clothing, edgy, completely new patterns as well as cuts. She actually is challenged to be different but also be herself.

This year's urban springtime trends include comfortable tops, khakis, scarves and even head accessories, skinny pants, leggings, dresses, ruffle skirts plus bows on t-shirts, dresses, skirts and in wild hair. In case you focus on an absolutely informal appearance, mix and match for an additional stunning, edgy, casual get up. Flaming pink and orange has returned, together with blues and grays. There isn't a regulation about accessories this season. Shorts tend to be finding their way back in to fashion with a boom, getting coziness plus a pretty flavor to all your urban casual attire.

Some other fashionable items for this spring’s 2011 street style include waist coats, tailored vests, slim-cut overcoats as well as stockings. See-through clothing will be big this season. Its actual concept shouldn’t be flashy and cheap, but gives you a refined, feminine and hot look and feel. T-shirts are great to wear anytime when paired with a darker blazer or a jacket. Military-inspired tops and ripped denim jeans also are back in style this season.

Animal prints continue to be cool, trendy and hot, as well as embroidered and shoulder detailed dresses. Flowered designs are actually all-time favorites, and they boost the appearance of any attire. Select tees with crazy tags, strange cuts and patterns. Show your hip and legs with mini denim skirts as well as tulip skirts.

This mixture of hip-hop style together with the metropolitan style gives women the freedom to try out a variety of designs, creating a bold urban look or a far more delicate, classy one.

With regards to footwear, this springtime prefers wedges, boots as well as peep toes. Suede and natural leather have returned in style. Animal prints are on women's high heel sandals and also in boot footwear. Women’s shoes and slip-ons enjoy the actual well-known native designs.

Coming from loose vests, to shiny shades and bodycon dresses, spring urban clothing is braver than ever before, elegant, classy, hot and comfy. The idea is to show the lady of the big city in her best light, doing the job or having fun. This is actually the general trends to look for this spring.
