Purple Rain

Summer is officially here (for those of you a bit shaky on 4th grade science, June 21st is the Summer Solstice), and there's no better time to add some color to your life. For a quick color fix, try a fun, flirty lavender nail polish. Flattering for every skin tone, this hue is perfect for those sunny summer days.

Man with Style

After watching the Soccer World Cup games over the last week now I have to say that Germany has the best dressed coach out of all the nations. Joachim Loew knows how to impress. Ever since the World Cup in 2006, we all know about his standard, classy, form fitted but yet very stylish look of white button shirt from Strenesse, which now is even named after him. This year Streneese is the official fashion sponsor for the Germany's national team and has also launched a World Cup fashion line, recognized by the three stars in the colors of black, red and gold.

And also this year Mr. Loew does not fail to impress. During the first game against Australia he was spotted wearing a blue V-neck Cashmere sweatshirt, again from Strenesse, and during the game against Serbia, Jogi was wearing a stylish black cardigan.

We can only be excited to see what Jogi will be wearing on Wednesday when Germany will be facing Ghana, its last game before the next round.

Looking for the perfect outfit for Wednesday: Strenesse World Cup Fashion. I personally love the sheer scarf in the colors of black, red and gold!

GO Deutschland.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

The United States plays its second game in the FIFA World Cup tomorrow against Slovenia. The game should be a walk in the park, considering the team's showing against its more formidable and football-crazed first opponent: England. Though Slovenia is roughly the size and population of Yankee Stadium during a World Series Game, the US needs to stay focused. After all, Clint "Patrick" Dempsey can't rely on another goalie's fumbling faux pas to tie the game.

The game starts at 4:00 p.m. in South Africa (aka 10:00 a.m. EST). So, be sure to wake up bright and early, don your best red, white and blue outfit and blast K'Naan's "Wavin' Flag."

Got 9 Minutes to Kill?

Lady Gaga's video for "Alejandro" debuted today, and it seems as though we've been transported back to "Like a Prayer" era Madonna.

I remember the days when music video premieres were a HUGE deal. Back when TRL monopolized my (and my middle school peers') afternoons. Back when Carson Daly was on air at 3:30 in the afternoon... those were simpler days. Days when Backstreet, Britney or whoever was the pop flavor-of-the-week would shut down Times Square for the Wade Robinson choreographed video to their latest single. But things have changed.

When music shifted to the digital sphere, it seemed like the mp3 killed the music video star. TRL counted its last vote over a year ago and MTV and VH1 play approximately 45 seconds of music each day (combined). But thanks to YouTube, the music video lives! And Lady Gaga uses it as a tool to build her hype machine.

"Alejandro" is your typical summer Top 40 fare. It's catchy. It tells a tale of unrequited love. It's perfect for any nightclub. As an avid follower of the club scene, Gaga knows how to craft a pop single. The song is reminiscent of the dance floor sensations of yesteryear, like Ace of Base or Abba (Is it coincidence that Gaga "[doesn't] want to kiss, [doesn't] want to touch Fernando?").

The video for the single, however, is a different story.

I love Gaga as much as the next pop music fan, but this video didn't live up to the hype. After pushing back the release multiple times, it sounded like the second coming of "Thriller." Instead, the video depicts Gaga's attempt to transform into a man that will please the titular Alejandro (Fernando or Roberto). This is all thrown together against some haphazard Christian symbols. Yes, "Alejandro" will raise a few eyebrows from the holy rollers, but visual blasphemy is so 1989. Lady Gaga is at her best playing a homicidal fashionista on parole, with Beyonce as her partner-in-crime (à la "Telephone").

Sheer blouses is the hot trend this summer, whether on a fun night out with your girlfriends or a casual Sunday brunch. A sexy and romantic look.
