Fashion Happens: Designer I-Wear

Looking to boost your style without being cliche? A new eye wear designer can help you do just that! Fashion designer, Jacquis Rambeau, has introduced Broken Celebrity to the world. His line of I-Wear is sure to make heads snap as you enter the room.

Rambeau has been designing for a little over eight years and is known in Miami, Fl for his daring peices. Sealed CEO, Brintney Ingraham, got the chance to interview him and see what inspires the designer to take such risks.


Brintney: "What initially made you start designing eye wear? Well, as you call it, I-Wear?"

Rambeau: "I've designed everything but the idea of branching into I-Wear came about two years ago when I tried designing a pair for myself. What really motivated me was CoCo & Breezy's line. Seeing that encouraged me and I decided to persue it.

Brintney: "Have any celebrities taken an interest in your I-wear?"

Jacquis: "Yes! Thus far Grammy Award Winner, Mya, sported Black Licorice in one of her performances."

Brintney: "Oh wow. That's Great! What's the future of Broken Celebrity?"

Rambeau: "It All! Clothing, accessories, kids glasses, and much more. Hmmm, you'll just have to wait and see!"

Brintney: "Okay fashion mogul. Thanks for answering my questions sir."

Rambeau: "No problem"

Broken Celebrity can be purchased online and your can even customize your very own pair. Visit: http://www.brokencelebrity.com/ and order yours today!

Fashion Happens- Fall/Winter 2010

Everyone wants to be trendy for this fall/winter but how can you do it with out knowing the latest trends? Don't worry because we've got your back. The latest fashion that hit the hottest runways are now holiday trends and we've got them all for you.



SULTRY TURTLE NECKS: Despite the thoughts that turtle necks can not be sexy these designers featured them on their runway. It's not what you wear but how you wear it and turtle necks are "what's hot" for the fall/winter 2010/2011 season. Spice up the close fitting shirt with bold accessories and fun colors to transition from dull to a funky piece.



High Collars: These aren't only fashionable but they're practical as well. Just add a flip to your chic winter coat and in a flash you've just made your look that more trendy!




Military: This style is getting more and more popular around the world even though it is a total contrast to the lattest trend. Gisele Bundchen even rocked the militant trend in her Vogue photo shoot. Try this cool style this fall/winter.


Quilting: No, this isn't your traditional quilting done by your grandma. This is actually fabulous. Winter is cold and the warmer garmets you wear the better. This technique is always used when making coats beacause it is so warm in the BURRtiful season!





Patchwork: As with the pancho, you have to be a creative being to wear patchwork. If you add too many accessories you'll be over doing it but if you dont put enough you'll be missing something. These three designers got it right as they sent their unforgettable pieces down the runway. The greatest thing about patchwork is that you won't be one in the crowd, you'll have millions of ways to stand out.




Wide pants: Lots of wide pants graced the runway this spring. Some were monotone while others were full of color and sparkle. You can go many routes witht his pant. It's totally up to you.

FRINGE: Fringe was in a couple of seasons ago and it seems like it's back and better than ever. However, fringe isn't so widely used. It goes only on clothes and not shoes, or hand bags.



Thigh-high boots: These boots are every womans favorite when winter rolls around. They look sexy and feel comfortable. This is still a trend and you have one more season to rock your best look.



GLOVES: It should be no surprise that gloves are in for the fall/winter season for 2010/2011. When are they out? You can choose from lacy or fingerless gloves.

Celebrity Contact: Fantasia's Shocking Confession

The scandal with the season three winner of "American Idol," Fantasia Barrino, has traveled to a new height. According to the report by Radar Online, Barrino who has been dealing with her recent delimma with married boyfriend Antwaun Cook, confessed in a North Carolina courtroom that she had an abortion. She says that she was pregnant and had the abortion around the same time she tried to kill herself in August.

In addition to her shell-shocking confession, Barrino testified that she dated Cook "off and on for about 11 months." She was questioned about having knowledge of Cook's marriage to ex-wife Paula and if she knew that they were living together, Barrino responed that she at the time "believed that he had seperated from his wife." Paula pressed the issue about Barrino and her then husband's secret rendezvous in a hotel room days after they met. There was no media allowed in the courtroom but a source that was inside reported to Radar, "Paula's laywers is arguing that they got the room because she knew he was still married."


Fantasia Barrino was in headlines last August being labled as a "home wrecker" by Paula. Fantasia was believed to have been having an affair with Atwaun Cook who was then married. The overwhelming media attention caused Fantasia to attempt suicide and she was rushed to a North Carolina Hospital. It was reported that the 26 year old singer overdosed on a "asprin and sleeping aid."

Beauty Tips

BODY ACNE

You can use the same spot treatment you use on your face but if you need a quick, cheap remedy here's one for you. Crush two asprin (which have acetylsalicylic to dry out the acne and reduce imflammation), and mix with a drop of water and honey to creat a paste. Let it sit on infected area for about 10 mins and then rinse with cool water.

DARK ARMPIT SKIN

Shaving and rubbing against fabric can irritate our skin causing discoloration. if you don't like your armpit skin a good solution to fixing the problem is using Ambi Fading Cream and also using a brand new razor every three shaves.

Bye Bye Widow's Peek

A widow's peek is just the shape of your hairline. Try soft bangs, soft hair styles that come across your forehead, or even long layer that hits around your ear level

Gorgeous in a Second!


We all want to be gorgeous but don't want to spend hours in the bathroom mirror doing it! Here are a few tips to help you dolls get gorgeous in a flash!


Bigger is better! Bigger hair always adds an extra SEXY flare. After blow drying your hair add some dry spritz. Turn your head upside down, put the blow dryer on cool, and blow the air in random spots in your head. This creates air pockets between your hair making it look extra full for the nights you're going to have extra fun.

Glitz for your hair! To add instant glamour and elegance to your hair style add an glittery accessory. you can even use the brotch from your sweater!

Million Dollar Cheeks! Instead of doing the boring slant on your jaw bone, brush your blush in small circular motions into your hairline from the apples of your cheeks.

Glow & Tone! Mix a liquid bronzer with a firming body cream to bring out your golden goddess. Massage it into your arms and legs or you can get a boy toy to do it for you. That's always fun. This will temporarily lighten you giving you that glowing radiant skin!

Achieve the Contrasting Look! Pair a smokey eye pearly or off white nail. The killer combo looks very chic and glamorous.

Fierce Eyebrows in 2 steps

Create a naturally fierce eyebrow with the Mahaqni Sl Cosmetics "Perfect Brow System." Even if you've never done your own eyebrows before you will be able to do it with this system. The brush is diagonally cut to shape your eyebrow.


Here's what you'll need: Mahaqni Concealer $8 Mahaqni Perfect Brow $14



Step 1) One trick to making your eyebrows appear freshly arched or waxed is to use concealer. Place Mahaqni SL concealer on the brow bone, under the brow, and at the start of the brow. Blend. This highlights the brow and mocks the way your brow would look if it was freshly arched or waxed.


Step 2) Use the Mahaqni Perfect Brow system and make it your slave. The brush is slanted so it makes applying the eyebrow powder that much easier. Apply the brow powder and shape your eyebrows to your liking!
I encourage all of my dolls to give this system a try and fall in love with it! If you're interested in purchasing visit the site: www.mahaqnisl.com
