Trend Alert: Celebrities in Camouflage

Camouflage is the trend du jour that will carry over from Summer to Fall. Sexy and a tad rugged, the camouflage look is the military trend's younger cousin: a little less embellished and polished, a whole lot more edgy and cool.


The print blends perfectly with the season's new neutrals (camel, gray and the perennial favorite, black) and can be dressed up with sleek pumps like Rihanna or down with buckled boots like Angela Simmons. If a clothing item is too much camouflage for you, rock the trend sparingly with a pair of camouflage-printed shoes like Beyonce.


Perfect for men or women, the camouflage trend will add a fresh, sexy spin on your cold-weather staples this Fall. Check out the celebs rocking the look, and shop my fave camouflage pieces.
























Happy Shopping!

GLAM OR SHAM?: Man Capris (Starring Chris Brown)

We've seen mandals, murses, even manties (recently on Diddy) but have capris ventured into testosterone territory as well? I'm afraid, the answer is yes.

Chris Brown was spotted showing off his ankles and calves onstage with Usher at Reggae Sumfest in Jamaica over the weekend.





Is this a fashion don't?

Some women don't even look right in capris. They cut off legs instead of elongating them (the trick to alleviating this problem? heels). That said, capris certainly can't be figure-flattering to men in flats.





Are you against man capris? Do they look flattering on Chris? Would you wear them (or be seen outside with a man that's wearing them)?

Discuss.

Kisses,

Coutura

2010 FiFi Award Winners (Plus Usher's Cockiness, Kim Kardashian's Weird Side Pocket Situation and Tinsley Mortimer's Pretty Blush)

Hey Glamazons! Just like we thought you ought to know the winners of this year's CFDA Fashion Award, we also think it's important that you know who won a FiFi award last Thursday! What the heck is a FiFi you ask? Why, it's like the Grammy's of the fragrance world. Each year, the creme de la creme of high fragrance society gather to present each other with awards for the below categories (all listed below the pics). The top news from this year's awards ceremony is that Usher won a FiFi for his signature men's fragrance. How did it feel to win his first? Here's what he told WWD:


"I'm getting accustomed to [getting awards], but not necessarily outside of music. To be recognized is incredible. When I came out with my first fragrance, I only hoped that people would love it, that it would become part of people's overall lifestyle. But to be recognized in this way speaks to the future of what this business is for me."


Hmmm...is it just me, or did you detect a bit of cockiness in that statement? Ew.
Kim Kardashian was also on hand and revealed that she's currently working on a second fragrance (her first signature fragrance smells delish! I love it) and that out of all the beauty projects she's currently got a hand in skincare was her fave. (She's developed a line with her sisters called PerfectSkin.)



Usher doing his "I'm cool" pose on the red carpet.

I loved the color of this dress Kim Kardashian wore....



But I don't think I like this weird side pocket situation. I think that if you have hips (like she does) they have a tendency to make you look wider than you actually are...wouldn't you say?

And, of course, I must delve into her beauty look! Love the high bun look on her (very polished) and the pale pink lips look girly but still grown. Nice!



Socialite Tinsley Mortimer looks super cute in this orange frock! This is one shade that I'm always afraid to wear (because I fear it makes me look deathly pale..ew) but Tinsley pulls it off very well!



And love this blush on her! It matches her dress perfectly..I wonder what shade it could be? (I'm sure it's something from Dior because I think she has a beauty contract with them, right?!)


Oh, and yes, the most important part of this post, the winners! Here they are! Do you guys own any of these fragrances? If so, do you think they deserved the award?

Usher's Wife Tameka Foster: Plastic Surgery Complication of Medical Tourism?

Sad story: Access Hollywood has reported that pop music singer Usher has cancelled his pre-Grammy party where he was scheduled to perform because of a serious medical issue involving his wife, Tameka Foster. Foster reportedly underwent elective plastic surgery in Brazil, and has had complications from that. Few know the details of this case yet as it is breaking, but apparently a neurosurgeon from the US is traveling to Brazil to help. This is not a good sign, as it could mean that it may be a serious complication involving the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord), but again, nothing is known of the specifics of this particular situation.


Whatever the unfortunate situation, thoughts and prayers are with the patient and her family in a difficult time.


From a general standpoint, in the past the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has warned of the risks of "medical tourism", which is a odd set of words used to define when a patient from one country such as the United States travels to another country to undergo an elective procedure. Why would anyone choose to do that when the best doctors, nurses, and hospitals, and most advanced and standardized medical care in the world is available in America? I don't have the answer to that, but traveling overseas is usually done for the perceived "benefit" of a discounted price, a theoretical difference in the technique of surgery performance, and the anonymity involved with recovery in a different locale. All of these purported benefits can quickly be wiped out if a complication occurs and the patient is not in their home country.


Different standards of quality control and training of surgeons and staff can also be found overseas. In the case of Usher's wife, one wonders what procedure she may have undergone, as she just had a baby in December and in the vast majority of instances it would be considered too soon to operate on someone from a body contouring standpoint just 1 to 2 months after childbearing (Brazil is known for its cosmetic body contouring and breast surgery). The body is till in hormonal and physiologic flux after pregnancy, mom may still be breast-feeding, and the weight gained during pregnancy is still coming off.


The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has listed the following guidelines for medical tourism on its website which are critical:


The key guidelines for plastic surgery travelers:
-What is the surgeon's training?
A gynecologist performing a breast augmentation or a dermatologist doing a face lift are not appropriate choices.

-Is the plastic surgeon certified?
The ISAPS website lists the names and addresses of over 1,600 certified plastic surgeons in 84 countries.

-Is the plastic surgeon certified?
Ask for certification information and who the certifying body is.

-Does your personal health insurance cover you outside your country?
Most health insurance providers do not cover individuals for surgery performed outside their own country. Consider obtaining International Medical Coverage that may be available through your insurance agent.

-What about aftercare?
Patients should stay in the area where the surgery was performed for at least one week, depending on the procedure. Find out in advance where you will stay and if this facility is prepared to care for your post operative needs.

-What about complications?
-What doctor will care for you at home if you have complications and who will pay for secondary or revision procedures?

-Do the key personnel at the surgeon's office speak your language fluently?
If you cannot be easily understood, be prepared for complications.

-With whom are you communicating?
You should be talking directly with the doctor's staff and the doctor. A travel agent should only make travel and accommodations arrangements.

-Is the surgeon a member of recognized national and international societies?
ISAPS membership is by invitation and is granted to applicants only after extensive screening.

-Have you checked for references?
Ask for names and contact information of patients who have recently had a similar procedure and contact them about their experience with the surgeon, their staff, aftercare facilities and post-operative follow up.
