FAITH HILL HAIRSTYLES and FASHIONS

I have to say this may be one of the best Faith Hill hairstyles yet? What do you think? The only thing that I do not like is how she was constantly batting at the bangs. It made me want to run for a bobby pin or barrette.

She apparently is making the rounds of the talk shows to promote her Christmas CD "Joy to the World" that has been in the stores since September or October of this year. I know, enough about the new CD, visitors to this celebrity fashion website want to know what she was wearing.

What do all the blonde celebrity beauties seem to be wearing this winter? Why something long, lean and basic black. Faith Hill was right in line with Reese Witherspoon who recently appeared on the same show. However, Faith went with opaque, black stockings or fashion tights which created a continuous, slimming line from her shoulders to her toes. Has anyone else noticed that celebrity pantyhose is becoming noticeably darker?

There were, however, two bright pops of color. One at the top of her lovely head which was no less than the crowning glory it was meant to be; the latest celebrity mom, Faith Hill approved, new hairstyles. The other was visible after Dave greeted her and she made her way to her seat by his desk. You guessed it, when she gracefully seated herself there was the signature flash of the bright red soles of designer shoes. Another celebrity wearing what appeared to be a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes.




Because of the black tights, ascertaining whether or not they were Louboutin slingbacks or peep toes was kind of tricky. But I believe that what she was wearing was a pair of platform pumps with closed toes and heel. This style is extremely popular with movie stars at the time because of the added height that the hidden platform (double platform?) gives them. Most ladies go for this style because it is so slimming. But why this blonde beauty would feel the need to cover her celebrity feet escapes me as she has one fine pair of celebrity legs. Faith Hill had absolutely no reason to search for footwear that made her look slim. Have you seen those Faith Hill bikini pictures? This is not a chick that needs help from the crew on "How to Look Good Naked."

JENNIFER WESTFELDT - SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

I would love to hear your opinion on actress Jennifer Westfeldt’s royal blue dress. Could the number of fabric rosettes that are encircling the scoop neck of the dress and slipping over the shoulder gilding the lily a bit on the excessive side? Or are the embellishments a fitting and suitable frame for this blonde haired beauty’s lovely face?

Could we have done without the continuation of the swirling fabric down the front of the dress (which with the covered belt could almost be called a modified shirtwaist style) and around the knee length hemline?

Frankly, the dress is lovely but the minute I laid eyes on these pictures of Jennifer Westfeldt something seemed “off” to me. The color worked, the decorative touches that I mentioned in the previous paragraphs were not too heavy or out of place and the overall look was okay. So, what was it that kept bugging me?

Dark black tights have been overdone as fall fashion trends in my opinion. This outfit would have been much prettier (again in my opinion) with nude stockings, but without a doubt the black hose were fashionable. But then I zoomed in to get a better look at her black peep toe shoes and what became evident to my surprise was that the stockings were not silky black, but black fishnet tights or stockings!

I love fishnet tights or stockings, but do they work with this dress? Somehow I’m having a difficult time trying to mesh the curves of the delicate dress that Jennifer Westfeldt is wearing so gracefully with the diamond shaped patterns in her stocking no matter how sexy men consider them to be.

So what do you say? Do the black fishnets make or break this look?

FALL FASHION TIGHTS

Fall fashions are in a constant state of flux, but you can always bet that tights will figure into the equation in some pattern, shape or form. Some years they lurk in the wings practically hanging their heads that they are good for little more than compression or support in the legs of professionals that have jobs that keep them on their feet for long hours at a time.

Then when you come around to a comfortable acceptance that they are good for layering under pants or boots for additional warmth in a pinch where black tights that go with anything is as good as it gets, out comes the latest in pantyhose tights in funky colors and patterns that haven’t been seen since the late 1960s when fishnet and windowpane stockings in crazy colors.

The history of tights goes way back but their most shining moment was in the days of flower power Haight Ashbury in the 60s was dominated by crazy outfits and out of this world fashion trends. There were young girls as well as grown women wearing cool, fashion tights under their mini-skirts that Twiggy and models of the day made so very popular without much emphasis on coordination. Plaids were lumped together with mod outfits and feather boas of contrasting colors that would give Liberace a headache, but there was method in the madness and somehow it all managed to work. We are still talking about the fashions worn in the era of Peace and Love so if nothing else; the styles were memorable.

The major complaint that was made about early fashion tights was that in the beginning before Lycra and Spandex came along was that by the end of the day the nylons were bagging in an unattractive manner at the knees. Even today, if you sit long enough you may find that your hosiery doesn’t spring back as quickly as you might like. Another fact is that most tights of days gone came before pantyhose was widely available. Whether you were trying to be sexy or not; your stockings were held up by a garter belt.

What I find funny is that every fall young girls head out to the discount stores to pick up the latest in hosiery in colors they are told are hip, trendy. They are fully convinced that they will not be able to properly dress without a particular pair and what is even more humorous is that they believe they are the first to appreciate tights as a fall fashion accessory.
