Amsale Girls Make a Splash!



The much buzzed about show of the summer has now arrived to a dutiful audience of eager brides-to-be and those single lasses hoping to one day have a reason to browse the racks of uber designer Amsale Aberra’s exquisite high-end bridal wear.
Nestled in the money flowing neighborhood of the Upper-East Side, the boutique is a major draw for celebs and socialites, including Heidi Klum, Katherine Heigl and Halle Berry among others. Amsale demands perfection and her “girls” are more than determined to live up to the hype. Debbye, is the British export and retail veteran whose mission isn’t only to whip all the girls into shape but to also preserve the untainted reputation of the famed bridal salon. Lauren, is the eager small town girl from Texas who is dazzled by the big city but also homeless and needs to prove herself by moving ahead quickly even though boss Debbye isn’t so convinced she is ready. Emily, the naïve Midwesterner is ambitious and will do whatever it takes as the sales consultant to make the numbers but after taking time off for her own wedding, coming back to work proves to be a bummer as she fails to live up to her high expectations. Kori, a native New Yorker, left her prestigious job in finance to work as the “Greeter” in the Salon Concierge, but hopes to one day make it as a bridal consultant. Linda was hired by Amsale herself to serve as resident  “therapist” to the frazzled brides-to-be needing that extra dose of confidence. But her life is far from stress-free as she copes with the reality of being the sole breadwinner after her husband loses his job. And finally, Samantha, the Operations Manager, who has at least a decade of experience in the bridal business, is a pro at her job as she expertly coordinates events that give the store just the right exposure while also keeping all the girls in check.
The drama is sure to be entertaining and consistent. It will absolutely give other bridal themed shows a run for their money. Make it your mission to check out Amsale Girls every Sunday night on WE tv at 10pm.

Trendy Buzz Kill of the Moment - Fergie Rocks Fur in June!



After a rough winter, we are desperately trying to welcome summer with open arms, and Fergie decides to be the ultimate party pooper by showing up in a black fur-and-leather Louis Vuitton jacket at the amfAR Inspiration Gala in Paris! I know following the trends as a celeb is the key to survival but fur in June?? Being a slave to fashion is never cute Fergie! Its much more fun to be Trendy and cautious.

Trendy Royal Report - The Duke and Duchess On Public Display Again


The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge looked quite the pair as they performed their royal duties on Saturday attending a medal parade in Windsor. Kate looked quite fetching in her perfectly fitted military-style dress. She really understands the importance of showing off those legs! Wills looked fantastically dashing in his military uniform. Do these two have a stylist? They seem to have a knack for coordinating their outfits in an almost unnerving way. Where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday when Princess Diana and her less charming Prince also made the rounds, greeting eager crowds. Well, today we have Kate and William and they are not doing too badly. I guess their visit to our neck of the woods next month will be the true test.

Pippa Middleton - The Other Sister


Pippa Middleton struck gold the moment her big sister became the Duchess of Cambridge. The Wedding of the Year literally put her on the map and made her a constant of all the major fashion outlets in the world. She is now being acclaimed as a world-class beauty with effortless style, whose jet-setting lifestyle is now being feverishly documented. Must be nice to be well connected and upper-class British! While she is pretty cute and stylish, so are thousands of girls I see in NYC. Why don't I appreciate what makes her so impossibly appealing? I guess in her case its a matter of luck, money, and pedigree. This is her time to shine and she is certainly making the most of it. Shine on Pippa!

Trendy Buzz Summer Hair Report


Summer is here! And with the constant humidity and heat, being natural feels like the most natural in the world! It's time to let loose and be free of the curling irons and all electrical appliances dedicated to perfecting the "straight look", and embrace your hair in its complete simplicity. Not that straight-haired divas should be ruled out, but summer is all about being funky and stress-free and that also applies to our tresses. There is so much you can do to make the natural something to behold. The natural blowout look that actress/model Yaya DaCosta is rocking makes me excited for the sexy nights in the city that are in my future. Remember that this time of year is when kinky/curly hair blossoms. So take advantage and be adventurous! This our time to shine!

Trendy Buzz Kill of The Week - Kim Kardashian Proves Her Butt Is The Real Deal


The Kardashians had me at hello for maybe 30 mins and now its almost unbearable to hear or see them flaunt the success they have garnered, thanks to a high number of bored fans who look forward to a trip to La La land every Sunday night on E! Kim Kardashian is the champion of them all. She has surpassed even her once good friend Paris Hilton whose own reality vehicle is now a certified failure to become the ultimate Celebrity. Now she has decided to once and for all put to rest the rumors that have been plaguing her all these years. The rumors about her much hailed and photographed backside. It's official! After a trip to the family doctor's office, and a butt-X-ray session which her sister, Khourtney and Khloe ( the spelling of their names irk me by the way), supposedly dared her to do, the most famous Kardashian sister can now proudly proclaim that her butt is the real deal. The fact that this piece of information is even reported truly makes me yearn for the excess of the 80's!

Princess In-Waiting



South-African born Charlene Wittstock reeled her Prince in by sporting her full body armour in a swimsuit at the 2000 Olympics in South Africa. Prince Albert of Monaco was understandably smitten and ready for love. He promptly asked her management company if he could take her out for a date and the rest is history. She is now set to marry a real life prince and by the looks of it she was born for the role. It is reported that famed designer Karl Lagerfield has taked her under his wing so she is great hands as she tries to navigate her way through the new but familiar role of budding fashion icon. If this is a preview of things to come, she is definitely poised to put her late mother-in-law, Grace Kelly to shame!

Runaway Bride


There is nothing like a jilted 85-year-old groom! Playboy for life, Hugh Hefner unfortunately wasn't able to hold on to his 25-year-old ultimate blonde, Crystal Harris long enough to at least make it to the alter. The almost "Mrs Hugh Hefner" bailed at the last minute, preferring to party her blues away in Vegas the very night she was to be wed, rather than commit to a guy almost 40 years her senior. Most of us would agree with her decision, but former Playboy mansion resident and ex-girlfriend Holly Madison is livid that the man who virtually put her on the map, was left high and dry this past weekend. The buxom blondes who each shared bed space with Hefner, have been engaged in a Twitter war ever since pics of Harris partying in Vegas hit the internet. But Holly Madison may need to call a truce on this one since it appears The Hef is recuperating just fine from the aftermath of his disaster. Not only have the famous Shannon twins moved back into the Mansion, but he has now acquired a younger version of his ex-fiancee - Anna Sophia Berglund, a 23-year-old Playboy Playmate. At least he's consistent!
