Love your GaGa...

Lady Gaga is Elle Magazine's January cover girl. She dishes on how her body responds to her stressful new life:

  “I get all the symptoms of a pregnant woman. I get headaches, I get tired, I get blurred vision sometimes during a really intense session with {her creative team} the Haus.”

On her former career {not the stripping, but waitressing}:

“I was really good at it. I always got big tips. I always wore heels to work! I told everybody stories, and for customers on dates, I kept it romantic. It’s kind of like performing.”

On her future family:

“In eight to 10 years, I want to have babies for my Dad to hold, grandkids. And I want to have a husband who loves and supports me, just the way anyone else does. I would never leave my career for a man right now, and I would never follow a man around.”

Street Style Now...More Shoe Trend Do's & Don'ts

} } FASHION DO'S... { {

Edgy heavy metal style is still in abundance on the European streets...and ya gotta love the first pair of shoes shown that look like they belong on the feet of Lady Gaga herself.  Yum.  Shown below, more of the best and worst on some of the most stylish street walkers right now.

} } FASHION DON'TS... { {

 

See if you can guess the big FASHION DON'TS shown here.  There are at least FOUR faux pas that we count.

Pretty Things Fashion... Gripp Jeans

{{ ALL THINGS NEW ROMANTIC }}

Designed by Dianne Grgat,  the A/W 2009 collection for Australian label Gripp Jeans is a renaissance of ‘gothic chic’.

"It's sophisticated glamour with a rock vamp edge, leaving the collection with a feel of lust and utter abandonment."

Key pieces such as the corsets in power net and lace emphasise feminine virtues such as the décolletage. Fitted body dresses in lace and draped jersey play a game of peek-a-boo on the derriere. Feminine assertiveness is expressed with strong structural lines in shoulder detailing and the use of leather and heavy metal hardware and trims.

Who said New Romantic is dead?

Street Style Now...Shoe Trend Do's & Don'ts

} } FASHION DO'S... { {

Sweet meets tough, edgy style and trends abound with Studs / Hardware, Peep Toes, Booties, Cut Outs and more!  Here, some of the best and worst on some of the most stylish street walkers right now.

 

} } FASHION DON'TS... { {

We're not sold on tucking your pants into your strappy heels just yet...but the real FASHION DON'T here is wearing shoes that don't actually fit your feet and leave your little piggies trying to flee over the side of the shoe.

Wearing socks with heels / open shoes is a real trend right now, {see "Would You Wear This Trend"} but it's easy to do it wrong. Don't be a trend whore and try to mix several trends at once if they just don't work and look like a cluttered mess: Cuffed pants, floral socks and these light-coloured peep toed booties with white laces are a definite FASHION DON'T!

Selena Gomez

Take notes, Miley Cyrus!  Selena looks gorgeous in an age-appropriate gown, garnering attention thru beauty and style, not with a revealing outfit or a pole.

Super Kawaii!  We're loving all the colour she's sported as she made her way around Japan.

} } The Bad { {

Lucy Liu

Usually we love us some Lucy, but here she looks a bit drab.  The dress is killer, but perhaps a different pair of shoes and some colour on those legs would help turn this "Bad" into "Fab".

Gwenyth Paltrow {right}

We don't know about you, but we don't want her trying to "nourish our inner aspect" with her Goop, when she can't seem to dress or take care of herself most of the time.  PS...Liv, you look great!

Noticing the bad lip job, at first we thought that this hot mess was Brittany Murphy, but alas, it's Miss Lohan "undercover".

We were hoping that Uggs were finally OUT...but it looks like Uggs {and slippers! } are still de rigeur on the feet of Hollywood's most UNfashionable.
