Ambrosio Adds Height









That was not the only thing 5'10" supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio was adding when she attended the amfAR Inspiration Gala. Wearing this season's newest trend of adding hemlines rather than subtracting in a long silhouette hugging Calvin Klein, the supermodel looked thinner and taller than ever. This trend was working, the tress trend however?...not so much.



This season pixies are in. Apparently Ale didn't get the memo. Now we aren't saying she had to chop her beautiful V.S. locks, we are just saying when in doubt let your natural out. The days of the J. Lo and Kim Kardashian horse mane length extensions are long gone. These extensions were too dramatic, too apparent, and too outdated as a trend. Lucky for her, the CK dress balances it out, and her style factor does not waver.




So Ale, you're being let off with a warning this time. After all, as women we all know how hard it can be sometimes to change up our hair.

Gaga Makes herself Goo-Goo

Even Lady Gaga doesn't always feel like the best "lady." In new sneak peeks of her upcoming HBO special Lady Gaga is seen walking her NY streets, ordering coffees, praying, and yes having a moment! At one point in the black-and-white laced video, Gaga says she still fights the bullies like her little "monsters." "I still feel like a loser." If this powerhouse feels like a loser, what are the rest of us? While surprising, it draws on empathy and also points out just how far back society has gone in terms of treating one another with respect. Hopefully this video is inspiring and shines an even bigger light on this nation's other epidemic: bullying.

Tress Trend Alert!

From Michelle Williams to Hermione Granger and Ashlee Simpson, the newest trend for this spring heat is the pixie cut. Short, short tresses are definitely easier to manage. Hey, just add some gel and your done, but is the androgynous look crossing the line? Will you be tempting your hairstylist's scissors next time you take a trip to the salon and do the do? Personally, it's hard to pull this look off, and it all depends on the facial structure. In other words, beauty is the name of the game and as we all know it is in the eye or in this case hair of the beholder. So what do you think? Drop a comment.

W.O.W.


Our words of wisdom for the day are inspired by friendships. Sometimes family just knows you too well to like them all the time. This is when you need your friends to pick up the slack, and we at "chasingpumas" feel inspired by the friendships we have forged and hope to foster over the years. So today's words are a toast to friends and anyone in life who has changed it.

W.O.W.-"Life is not a function of what or how many things you do, but who you touch or touches you along the way. "-G. Leva


So today go out and touch someone. Not in that way. You know what we mean.
