Trending Topic?

So, okay, as an MTV enthusiast I’m pretty much ‘tuned in’ to anything and everything that the network puts out. Well, when it comes to reality programming, that is…I never knew how fantastic and resourceful the MTV website was - I’ve mostly referenced the site to check up on the TV schedule and when I should expect the latest episode of ‘The Gauntlet’ to air on repeat. Recently, though, I’ve discovered that MTV.com has a fantastic Style section; one that uses pop culture as its central muse. Just today, I was visiting the Style section’s ‘trends’ tab and it just so happens that MTV’s fashion 411 is right on target with ours! You’ll have to check out the site on your own (http://style.mtv.com/category/trends/), but I can give you a quick synopsis! So, glitter, sparkling, sequined GOLD: this style is a GEM right now with celebrity starlets. According to the detailed blog post and supplementary stunning photos, AJ Michalka, Heather Morris, and Halle Berry have all been entranced by this rich hue and its extra glistening accent. This post was particularly poignant considering what I’ll segue into in a few, but if you gloss over the rest of the style blog you’ll find tons of other trends and celebrity-driven fashion fixes that are complete with helpful hints for creating your own ‘famous’ adaptations. Now, MTV and CIV must be style-watching in harmony, because just today I was marveling at a ‘get the look’ story we were working on. The always beautiful Heidi Klum arrived to Roberto Cavalli’s 40th Anniversary bash (in Paris) wearing his own gold and peach metallic draped gown. Trend-savvy Designer Sherri Hill’s unique metallic chain mail style is right on par with Heidi’s golden goddess look - and you don’t need to be a supermodel for this one. A golden ‘get the look!’ Well would you look at that! MTV and CIV…we might not be Midas, but everything we touch turns to gold…
