kimkardashian Whats Kim K. Thinking?

Maybe she spent hours deciding on what to wear for this McDonald’s event. Unfortunately, in her eagerness to impress, this socialite makes a major faux pas, stepping out in an overloaded bikini top and open safari jumper. And need we mention the fedora? This may have a chance of working if she was hitting the beach, but overall, this disaster needs way more chic and much less cheap.


marykate MKs Muumuu Mistake

So the cut of the dress is cute in theory, but how she ever fell for the sickeningly pastel Sweet Tart color we’ll never know. And while the mile-high Louboutins are hot, they’re all wrong for this attempt at a cohesive ensemble. Mary-Kate’s Jsa Jsa Gabor Green Acres inspired thing just isn’t working. If there’s any Hollywood starlet in desperate need of a stylist, it’s this one.


madge Just for Fun: What Were They Thinking?

Madonna and hubby Guy Ritchie step out while divorce rumors fly. But that’s now excuse for the outfit. It’s so atrocious it can’t even be put into words. What was she thinking? Knee-length support hose peeking through satin boxing bloomers? Paired with heels? And that bag! If it weren’t for those stealth guns, I’d say the woman’s let herself go.

Hot Weather Horror 7: Brassy Highlights

Those gorgeous golden highlights are turning brassy fast.

Prevent It: Highlighted hair that’s naturally medium brown or warm blonde is more likely to go coppery. Prevent brassy hues by covering hair with a hat or using styling aides to block the UV rays that cause that brassy color.

Damage Control: The best bet for resuscitating brassy strands is to head to the salon for a color gloss, which will tone down the copper color and cost less than getting highlights redone.

 Hot Weather Horror 6: Razor Rash

You shaved your bikini line, but now you’ve got a nasty razor rash.

Prevent It: Opt for a gel when shaving, and let it sit on skin for a few minutes to soften the hair. Always shave in the direction of hair growth to minimize irritation.

Damage Control: Apply a 1% hydrocortisone cream to the area to reduce the rash. If the skin isn’t broken, conceal redness with a tinted face moisturizer, or opt for a sexy sarong when you’re out of the water.

 Hot Weather Horror 5: Frizzy Curls

The humidity has given you a frizzy ‘fro of epic proportions.

Prevent It: The key to avoiding the ‘fro is using a rich leave-in conditioner and keeping hair covered so it won’t expand as it dries.

Damage Control: If the frizz has already hit, wet your hands and run them over the top of hair to re-hydrate, add a wax for control, then twist curls around your fingers to re-form them.

Hot Weather Horror 4: Liquid Lipstick

You open your lipstick and get a melted mess.

Prevent It: If you’re heading to the beach with a cooler for drinks, toss your tube of lipstick in. Or, bring a pot of gloss or a tube with a wand so if it does melt, you can still use it.

Damage Control: If your lip color is just soft, throw it into the fridge or prop it near an air conditioner. If it’s liquid, scoop it into a small plastic pot and you’ve got a new carrier for your favorite color!

Hot Weather Horror 3: Blisters 

Those strappy sandals look hot, but a night out in them has left you limping from blisters.

 Prevent It: An ingenious product called Blister Block by Band-Aid keeps even the cutest shoes from rubbing. Foot powder also works in a pinch.

Damage Control: Sanitize a needle with alcohol and pop the blister to let out the fluid. Don’t peel the skin though; apply an antibiotic like Polysporin and cover with a bandage.

Hot Weather Horror 2: Sun-Damaged Polish

After two days in the sun, you pretty pastel nail polish has turned an ugly yellow.

Prevent It: Light pink and beige hues turn yellowish in the sun, to prevent discoloration use a clear top coat formulated to prevent UV rays from altering the color. Also, rub sunscreen over your nails while at the beach.

Damage Control: For a quick fix, remove the top discolored layer of polish with a fine-grain file, then seal with a top coat.

 Hot Weather Horror 1: Sunglass Tan

You wore sunglasses for protection against the rays and now you’re sporting raccoon eyes.

Prevent It: Slather on the sunscreen! SPF 30 your entire face to reduce the amount of sun you’ll get throughout the day.

Damage Control: Use a foundation that matches your tanned skin, dab under the eyes and blend, blend, blend! Avoid concealer; it won’t blend well enough.
