Leaving Acting Behind To Pursue Fashion Full-time

Can't say I'm dissapointed that Ashley Olsen has decided to leave behind acting to pursue fashion full-time, according to Star Magazine. She is one of my favorite celebs to watch in terms of style. Ashley has such classic style, better than the "hobo" look her twin sister, Mary-kate, runs around town in and I'm not just saying that because we share the same name.

Ashley told Hamptons Magazine that, "I used to be in the entertainment industry, and now I feel passionate about the fashion industry," Ashley said. "I understand what it takes to make a brand and to have an eye for product that sells. I don't have the time to step away for a month. I hold myself accountable every day."

She currently resides in NYC, but is constantly going back and forth between NYC and L.A. where she helps run the company DualStar with sister Mary-kate and visits with her boyfriend, Hangover actor, Justin Bartha.

Overall, this is one busy fashionista I will keep my eye on and who knows maybe I might catch a glimpse of her in NYC!

Harry Potter's Leading Lady

Harry Potter's newest installment is less than a week away from hitting box office everywhere. I'm so excited! I'm a huge fan and we have literally had a chance to watch the young stars of Harry Potter grow up right before our eyes.

One of those young stars is 19-year-old, British actress, Emma Watson. As she has matured, so has her style and her ability to work the red carpet at premiere after premiere. The movie's leading lady has turned into just that, a young lady.

In her younger years she sported, well the style of a child, but nowadays she is running the red carpet in designer clothing such as Chanel and Alexander McQueen.

Her new sense of style is a big hit, but is it up to par to match the mega hit, Harry Potter?!? Look out for Watson when she graces the cover of Teen Vogue in August.

Twilight Fans Around The World (including me) Are Truly Heartbroken

I am truly heartbroken, according to Life & Style Magazine, “Robert dumps Kristen for Emilie.” Ok, so not that we ever actually knew that they were dating, so we’re not sure that it’s even possible for them to break up, but if any of it is true, I am truly heartbroken. Yes, it’s sad to say that I am a Twilight fan, not like I would chase Robert Pattinson down the street screaming we belong together (well I think ;)) But the two of them together is such an intriguing idea, both young and talented in that silent and keep to their selves kind of way. It seems or so it seemed like a perfect match.

But reportedly, Robert Pattinson has moved on and dumped Kristen Stewart for his new “Remember Me,” co-star, Emilie De Ravin. I don’t know how the rest of the world feels, but I’m sure my fellow Twilight fans are not happy.

First off, this completely changes my feelings on the most perfect love story between “Bella Swan” and “Edward Cullen” when the real life actors that play them failed at real love. Many are contemplating whether or not this break up will effect Stewarts and Pattinsons chemistry while filming Twilight? If it does, the whole dynamic of the film will be lost.

Megan Fox's "Transforming" Style

For warning, this post is long overdue, but I thought It still had to be done...

Before Megan Fox became a red carpet queen and a box office mega star, she was just another unknown pretty face playing b-status roles in movies such as “Holiday In The Sun,” alongside the Olsen twins and in “The Confessions of A Teenage Drama Queen,” featuring one of Hollywood’s most notorious bad girls, Lindsay Lohan.

Overtime, not only has Fox’s roles transformed, so has her style. Before hitting it big with “Transformers,” she displayed a fashion sense that was less than sex symbol status. Don’t get me wrong, she has always been obviously hot, but she did not have a fashion sense that complimented her beauty. Back in the day when she played on shows like “Hope and Faith,” Fox sported a more wholesome image, pairing girlie pink tops with a simple pair of jeans as seen below. My, how things have changed.

Nowadays, you can see Fox dominating the red carpet full force at premieres for “Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen,” all over the world. Securing her title as the sexiest women in the world, Fox has been showing off her envious bod in a variety of flirty dresses and strappy heels. And every outfit has been sure to put emphasis on the stars 22-inch waist, according to Fox, with cinched fabrics at the waist, skinny belts and thick belts. Hey, if you got it, flaunt it.

Great fashion sense on top of to-die-for looks, Megan Fox makes it all so envious. Gotta love the beautiful people! However, I couldn’t help but noticing some differences in the star’s face – are you thinking what I’m thinking?—Plastic surgery? Uh-oh-- more on that later….

Always honest,

Appealing To My Eye

Hi to all the fabulously fashionable,

Just wanted to share how I am consumed by fashion on a daily bases and share this pictures of two window displays that really caught my attention one night walking home in New York City.

Both storefronts are on Broadway in Soho, my all time favorite shopping spot in the city.

The first is a display that has continuously caught my eye, so I finally took a picture, but it’s a small boutique that even as many times as it has grabbed my attention, I’ve never bothered to go in or get the name of the store. The display is very vintage looking and the featured green dress paired with and over-sized necklace is to die for.

On the other hand, the other window display that always makes me excited and only fuels my urge and addiction to shop belongs to one of my favorite stores in SOHO, “Top Shop.” Unbelievably colorful, with the mannequins in motion and wearing mix-matched outfits, that I’m not sure I would have the guts to wear out on a daily basis is sure to grab any fashion lovers attention. However, fashion is all about the risk.

Unfortunately, “Top Shop,” is slightly over priced for my budget, so I’m sticking to window shopping as of now, so hopefully they continue to make their window displays pleasing to the eye.

With love,

Ashley Nicole

A Legend Is Remembered...

With an estimated 250,000 to 700,000 fans to be on scene for the public memorial of Michael Jackson and approximately 1 billion people set to watch the memorial live according to the “Herald Sun,” one thing is clear. That only someone of great impact and influence could be remembered and honored at the altitude that has not been witnessed since the “King of Rock,” himself, Elvis Presley died.

Recognizable figures from all backgrounds of sports, music and even reverends came out to honor and say their final goodbyes to a “musical genius,” Michael Jackson.

Among those who paid respects and spoke only great things on behalf of the “King of Pop,” were Reverend Al Sharpton, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson and Queen Latifah, just to name a few.

The kind words spoken throughout the service on Jackson’s behalf, reminded many of us that Jackson stood for more and meant more too many people than just the controversial stories he so often made headlines for.

"Michael made us love each other, Michael taught us to stand with each other," Sharpton told the crowd on how Jackson brought people of all backgrounds together with his music and the kindness of his heart.

Other musical idols such as Stevie Wonder, Usher and Mariah Carey performed in Jackson’s honor as well.

Jackson made headlines long before he passed and his legacy will continue to make headlines long after his tragic death.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the Jackson family during this very difficult time, the only thing I can wish for them is that the press give them the space they need and deserve to grieve.

With Love,
Ashley Nicole

UnveiledEdge's Undiscovered

Featured: Undiscovered Music Artist: Reggae Artist: Gyptian

With so many genres of music out there, raw Jamaican- Reggae needs more exposure in the U.S. Its sad that such beautiful music hasn't reached our mainstream radios since the one and only Bob Marley. Already having established fame in Jamaica, Gyptian is a very talented, underrated Reggae artist.This 25-year-old, Jamaican Native holds one of the smoothest, softest voices in Reggae, and in my opinion he is more talented than many Hollywood artists today.

Focusing on love and political issues, his music exerts much emotion, yet soothes the soul. He released his first Album in 2006, titled "My name is Gyptian." Following the release of the album, he had three singles,"Is There a Place", "Beautiful Lady", and the chart-topping ballad "Mama, Don't Cry."

His second and most recent album was released in 2008, named after the released single "I Can Feel Your Pain." The single has hit the charts in Jamaica, but has yet to impact our American radios.

So, Take your ears on a vaca to the Jamaican Islands, and check him out @:

BET AWARDS 2009

Last Sunday brought out a lot of different styles and fashion at the 2009 BET Awards. Some celebs came out looking stunning, while others should have just stayed home. The females ran the show, with main trendsetters such as Keri Hilson, Beyonce, and Alicia keys.

(Photo Credits: Beyoncé @ 2009 BET Awards" src="http://cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/480/35/beyonce-knowles350x565.0.0.0x0.350x565.jpeg" _fcksavedurl="http://cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/480/35/beyonce-knowles350x565.0.0.0x0.350x565.jpeg" _fcksavedurl="http://cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/480/35/beyonce-knowles350x565.0.0.0x0.350x565.jpeg" _fcksavedurl="http://cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/480/35/beyonce-knowles350x565.0.0.0x0.350x565.jpeg" width="350" border="0" />)

Beyonce showed her strong "ego" in a barely there, long sleeve, Balmain piece. The dress held tight to her curves and just look at those legs! The bright colors are perfect for the season and make me think of Mardi Gras. The jagged cut on the bottom of the dress is fun and sexy. Now down to the shoes, they are Christina Dior--and even better they have dangling beads surrounding the heel. Not a normal place to hang beading, but I hope to see more heels like this entering the fashion world, and hopefully a mall near by.

Ms. Keri Hilson "knocked us down" in here superhero styled dress. The cut of the dress is sexy and form fitting, showing of her curves. I feel the design is a mix between wonder women and the flintstones...a mix I never thought would make it to the red carpet--but it did and oozed sex-appeal!

Time to get natural--Alicia Keys ran the red carpet in her Moroccan inspired Jenny Packham dress. The beading and gold trim speaks--"GODDESS!". The shoes- they could get a whole fashion review of their own: HOT! This is my personal favorite of the night.

America's Next Top Fashionista does not go to Tyra Banks. Although I am a fan of the feminine suits, I cant get past her "Mars Attacks" looking face expression and hair in this photo. Setting that aside, from the shoulders down the outfit is decent, yet I feel fall is coming soon.

As much as I love the rocker style--Cassie the look is not working. Starting with the hair, I dont understand why she pulled a Britney on one half of her head and kept a Cassie on the other. Obviously with a face like that, you can wear anything on your head and look amazing, but it appears she is trying to hard, when she doesnt have to. Same for the outfit--it needs to be taken down a notch or two.


BET Awards brought both hits and misses...I wonder what next year will have in store for us!
