Rihanna Sets An Edgy Summer Style: Cool White Leather Moto Jacket!

Who doesn't love a bad-a** leather moto jacket?

Make it in cool white and you've got a great-looking style.

Superstar Rihanna did just that, as she stepped out in Zurich, following her latest Diamonds world tour performance.

Looks AMAZING---classic + ultra-cool!

You can copy Rihanna's style, too.

We found a great look-a-like faux leather white moto jacket at Forever21 for $34.80!

So cute with multiple-zippered pockets and  a big off-center zipper like Rihanna's.
What do you think?

Is this a good look or not?

Carmen Electra's Elegant One-Sided Cornrows

If you have long hair or extensions, and look great with a severe side-part, then you can copy Carmen Electra's elegant one-sided cornrows.

We LOVE this hairstyle. Maybe it's because Carmen looks so sexy wearing it.

We think it's even lovelier than the popular, shaved one-sided hairstyle!

We like the super-tight urban, edgy style!

Would you rock this hair-do?

If we could look this glam, we would!

Heavy Foundation? No Way For Mad Men's Sexy Christina Hendricks

We all know that Mad Men's Christina Hendricks is one sexy lady.

But did you ever notice her pretty, healthy complexion?

Seriously, girlfriend has a smooth, even skin tone.

So, what's Christina's makeup secret?

Well, it isn't full-coverage foundation.

That's TOO heavy for those HOT summer days.

Christina prefers a much lighter touch:

Smashbox Color Correcting Primer, hers in Color Adjust Green ($38, at Sephora).

"I'm very fair, with pink undertones," Christina says.

"And this evens me out enough that I don't even wear foundation in the Film!" She's talking about How to Catch a Monster.

The green in Smashbox'  Color Correcting Primer does an amazing job of hiding the redness.
.
And from the up close + personal photo of Christina, we think it works beautifully.

Want Sculpted Arms For Summer? Try The Jersey Shore Snooki Method Of Training

We don't care how you get there, but if flipping over huge tires can give you sculpted sexy arms, then....'Just do it," as the famous Nike saying is telling you.

We like to fool around with 7 lb. dumbbells to get our biceps + triceps toned. But hey-----moving around very large tires can also show results.

Just look at 'Jersey Shore' reality star Snooki. The proud mama has been on a fitness tear for months now, and all the hard work + dedication is paying off.
The 25-year-old Mama to baby Lorenzo REALLY gets buff by flippin' tires:

 "How I start my Saturdays," she explained recently on her Instagram. "Buns and guns."

 Snooki is  training with New Jersey-based fitness expert Anthony Michael. She  is proud of her new athletic body, as she tweeted yesterday.
 
"Everyone's saying the 'new fit me' isn't what I'm suppose to look [like]," she wrote. "I wasn't always a fatass, kids. Get used to my fit life, cause I love it!"

Bravo to you, Mama Snooki!!

Serena Williams Shows Off Colorful Manicure At Wimbledon's All-White Protocol

Tennis great Serena Williams CANNOT live with out an amazing mani + pedi. You might think the U.S. defending champ wouldn't even have time to think about doing her nails, but you would be so wrong!

She once admitted this:

"No one likes getting their nails done more than I do . . . I go every four days to get a manicure and every seven days for a pedicure."

And now the ace is putting on a great show of fashion sense right down to her fierce orange manicure on center court. Each tip was so stylish--diamante encrusted to animal print to  'pow!'.

The Wimbledon protocol calls for and enforces its rule of "only allowing players to wear white."
However, the Brits are bending the rules this time around, and other players are also debuting colorful manis.

Take a look at Wimbledon's usual protocol:

"Predominately in white rule introduced in 1963.  'Almost entirely in white rule' introduced in 1995.  Clothing submitted to Club for comment earlier in year.  Both Grand Slam and WTA rules stipulate recognised tennis attire.  Decision on the day as to whether clothing/players' turnout is suitable at discretion of Referee.  Guidelines: 
    No solid mass of colouring
    Little or no dark or bold colours
    No fluorescent colours
    Preference towards pastel colours
    Preference for back of shirt to be totally white
    Preference for shorts and skirts to be totally white
    All other items of clothing including hats, socks and shoes to be almost entirely white
    .

Hitting The Beach: We All Need A Really Excellent Eye Cream

If you believe eye creams are only for OLDER women, like those OVER 40, think again.

Everyone needs to apply an eye cream, because that part of the face ages rapidly. The skin under the eyes, and all around the eyes for that matter, is dry, thin + delicate.

Then consider all the sun our eyes come in contact with daily, and you get the picture.

There are gazillions of eye creams out there. It's best to find one with a retinoid. This potent Vitamin-A derivative can do a few great things:

1.  Improve under eye circles, so they look lighter.

2.  Help smooth out under eye bags + firm up the skin.

3.  Diminish the appearance of fine lines + wrinkles.

We like this eye cream. No, NOT so cheap, but it comes from a very reputable skin care line:

Philosophy Miracle Worker Retinoid Eye Repair Cream ($65, at Macy's).




A retinoid formula can be tough to handle, so if eye area is sensitive, apply at night.

We like retinoid formulas because they encourage cell turnover and tighten things up. But go easy on the cream at the beginning. A little dab goes a long way.

Hot Summer Means Time For Bright Fuchsia Pedicure!

Nothing says SUMMER quite like a bright, pretty pedicure!

Maybe you've already let your adorable toes do the talking. If not, it's time to choose a colorful shade to paint those t-nails.

We just happen to LOVE fuchsia. No, those cute toes are not ours (Just thought we would clarify that).
 


We like Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure in Back to the Fuchsia ($6.98, at drugstore.com).

Pretty, huh?

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is a great one, because it lasts + lasts, without chipping!

Here's how the company describes it:

"Don't settle for just color when you can get a base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, salon-inspired color, top coat, chip-resistance and a gel finish all in 1 bottle. Featuring the unique precision brush for a flawless finish and patented Vita Care technology for advanced 10 day wear, more shine and nourishing care."

We think this bright, little bottle is worth the $$$.
