    Influential International Style: M.I.A.

    image

    Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam broke into the music scene in 2004 and is simply impossible to forget, because of her lyrics, both catchy and intense ("All I wanna do is... BANG BANG BANG BANG"), and her unique style. M.I.A. seems to take style inspiration from all areas of her life - whether it's her love of prints coming from her past as a graphic designer, or drawing a love of dyeing techniques from her Sri Lankan decent. Her style is incredibly unique - and she puts things together the way no one else would, with a surprising mix of color, crazy textures and a great love of neon and shiny material. To get even close to M.I.A.'s signature style, you'll have to mix it up - bold bangles with loose-fitting neon shirts over shiny leggings with some bright kicks. Top it off with a hat and you're on your way. Check out my slideshow for some great ideas on how to get started incorporating M.I.A.'s look in to your personal style!

    Wearable Neon Makeup Shades, No Rave Required

    Alex Gambardella on Aug 24, 2009 10:19 AM PDT
    While we've thankfully moved past that '90s flashback of fluorescent clothing and accessories, it's important to note that neons haven't been banished from the planet for good -- they've just relocated to the beauty department! I know, the idea sounds terrifying, but used with the right shades and a subtle hand, bright pops of color are an emerging makeup trend that's making feminine features stand out in a feisty, fresh and modern way. While trying to shed her goody-goody Gossip Girl stereotype and make a name for herself as her punk band's frontwoman, Taylor Momsen has been spotted flaunting neon lips and smoky eyes -- but you don't have to be a rock goddess in training to pull it off. Sticking to one feature at a time, you can go with an electric blue eyeliner to make your peepers pop, or highlight your summer tan with contrasting tangerine nails, for example. Take a look at the slideshow for some wearable neon shades!

    Time To Make A Statement With A Bold Neon Watch!

    With 80s and 90s-inspired neon colors making comebacks all over the fashion spectrum, what youthful trend of yore would be more fun to welcome back than those funky florescent watches? I don't know about you, but back in elementary school I used to rock one of those faddish Baby-G watches every day like it was a diamond-crusted Rolex... and now even Lady Gaga has added her own neon yellow one as a staple to her very "fashion-forward" characteristic look in her latest music videos. Similar plastic and jelly-banded bright digitals (and analogs too) are popping up in both casual and high-end accessory lines, from sporty brands like Nixon and Adidas to designers like Michael Kors, and are appearing to be a hot color-popping trend for summer. Despite their silly hues and casual appearance, some are still pretty fancy and may be a bit on the pricey side if you're just looking to try out the bold look for a fun occasion or two, but others are both affordable and durable enough to take along to the beach and maybe even swim in! Check out the slideshow for some examples of the season's most vibrant watches!

    Fashion Poll: What Should I Wear To My Vegas Bachelorette Party?

    Greta on Aug 22, 2008 1:43 PM PDT
    In a couple weeks I will be embarking for a bachelorette weekend in none-other-than, Las Vegas, Nevada. As excited as I am to visit the famed hot spot (it will be my first time!), I'm already fretting about what to pack. This may be my maiden voyage to Vegas, but I want to look well-versed in Sin City style. I have long been inspired by the city: its brilliant neon lights, the sequined outfits of showgirls, the glowing casino games, and most of all, the anything goes attitude. In terms of what to bring for nights out on the town, I'm envisioning dresses that are just dripping with glamour yet still young and fun. Sparkles and sequins, luxe animal prints, eye-catching metallics, and maybe even a few neons. But how can I channel the over-the-top Sin City glitz and glam without looking like a flop? Well my fellow Stylehivers, this is where you come in.. I want to save my gambling spirit for the casino floor and not risk it while preparing for this trip. So I've created a poll with 3 possible Vegas looks - vote for your favorite right now! I can't wait to see which look wins!

    A fantastical mixture of neon, metallics, and some very unique runway looks, Juicygal makes what most wouldn't even dream of wearing during the light of day, amazingly everyday-friendly. This Stylediarist is an obvious color (and Karen Walker) lover and is a hardcore print mixer. She has fun with larger-than-life plaid bows, brightly colored tights, even brighter flats and wedges, plus accessories galore! She borrows looks and pieces inspired by many different eras, especially from the 80's, and makes them uniquely her own. If you are looking for some fun ways to really wear color, you won't be disappointed. Find some of my favorite looks that she's concocted in the SLIDESHOW, and you'll see that this girl brings the party with her.
