Rihanna in Madrid: The Loud Tour

 

I am super excited for tomorrow because my GBF (gayboyfriend) is flying to Madrid today and taking me and my SBF (straight boyfriend) to the Rihanna concert tomorrow.

I love Rihanna´s new song, We Found Love and I can´t wait to see the concert.  Whether Rihanna lip syncs or not, I am certain she will have fabulous outfits and  amazing backup dancers, so I am sure it will be an entertaining evening.  In any case, I will be with two of my favorite people in the universe so I know it will be a blast.

Stay tuned for a review of the show to come!

Ask Lori: Leather Leggings…Hot or Not?

Leather leggings are totally hot…however only if you´ve got the right pair of gams to squeeze into them!

Inspiration:

Duff´s looking hot in her all black combo

Kim is definately a ´do´in this outfit

We all knew they´d look good on Heidi but not bad on Olsen and Rihanna either!

TIPS:

We all know celebs can rock em but…can we?

The answer is yes.  However you have to follow a few rules.

1. Make sure your ass is covered.   Treat leather leggings as if they were tights. Make sure your shirt or dress atleast covers most of your ass. Leather cameltoe is NASTY.

2.  You don´t have to be super tall or thin to rock this trend! Look at Kim Kardashian, shes got a hot curvy bod and she looks great in them.   However, heels always help in this department, or even low heeled boots.  Just make sure your legs are in shape and lookin´good.

3.  Be careful not too look goth.  Accesorize with a few girly objects or make sure to add some color in the rest of your outfit. Even Duff who is wearing all black puts some nude platforms on to make it seem a bit more girlish.  A colored shoe is always a great way to go, or something like Kim´s heart necklace.

MY PERSONAL ADVICE is to stay away from colored leather leggings.  Not pretty.

THIS EQUALS NO.   DON´T DO IT, PLEASE. No one wants to spot your cellulite from a mile away.

Also, buying pleather is fine, but make sure you don´t look like you are wearing plastic.  Forever 21 may not be the best place to shop for this particular trend.

Winter Head Wear

It´s freezing in Madrid and I am not really a hat person but something has GOT to be done to keep all the hairs on my pretty little head nice and toasty so my solution, as per style trends previously noted in Italy, is:

fur earmuffs, or when the temps REALLY drop, fur trapper hats.

Celebs are wearing fur  earmuffs and hats everywhere so they are obviously right on trend.

Inspiration: SJP in black earmuffs

An added tip: try looking at thrift stores and vintage shops for the perfect fur hat!

MTV EMAs

The European Music Awards were Sunday evening and they were quite a hit here in Madrid, mainly to their free events all week to promote the awards!  I have to hand it to them on publicity this year, free events equals a happy public!  The free concerts in Puerta de Alacla were a sucess, though extremely crowded.  Main gossip is that only the Jersey Shore peeps were at the afterparty…(so the big question is…where were all the celebs at?!)   Lady Gaga won the most awards: Best Pop Artist, Best Song (Bad Romance), and Best Female Artist, but wasn´t there to accept them as she was touring in another country!  Justin Bieber took the award for Best Male Artist, and Enrique Inglesias for Best Spanish Artist.  Best video was Katy Perry´s ´California Gurls´, and best hip hop artist was Eminem. Rihanna, although she performed new hit song ´Only Girl´ went home empty handed.  Oh and my personal favorite, Best New Artist award went to…Ke$ha…lol!  Eva Longoria presented the awards and looked AMAZING.  So did Shakira, performed everyone´s favorite song, ´Waka Waka´See photos below!
