Born between November 22 and December 21?

If so, then you are in good company!

Words used to describe people born under the sign of Sagittarius… flirty and fun, you like to have a good time. This, combined with your optimism, can get you into a world of trouble but at least you’ll look good on your way!

Extrovert

The ultimate example of lead singer-itis – Jim Morrison of the Doors. He had amazing stage presence but got carried away when he took all of his clothes off on stage (and got arrested for indecency). Get inspired by Jim’s original rock and roll style and get yourself some leather pants (or reasonable facsimile) – nothing says rock n roll more than black leather! (Warning: advice is not for anyone over 40 years old unless you were already a rock star when the Doors were still touring.)

Prove your are legit and get your leather at a shop that caters to bikers rather than a boutique.

Partier

Here’s a sagittarius who really nose how to party – Keith Richards actually snorted part of his cremated father according to merryswankster.com. Sagittarians love freedom and they love to have a good time, but they can also have gambling problems when they get out of control…

Check out cool Keith’s belt – it sends the message you can be pretty wasted and still be pretty at the same time! Like Keith Richards, the belt buckle below is a 100% original piece of work. They will also design a custom motif for you so you could even ask them to make you a belt buckle inspired by Keith’s buckle shown above.

Energetic

If you have big hair, strong pipes, and great legs like Tina Turner, you don’t need flashy jewelry to get anyone’s attention. Note her simple bracelet that sends a message that she isn’t a flash-in-the-pan… she’s solid gold.

Stylish

Katie Holmes’ name doesn’t pop into my head when I think of the words ‘flirt’ or ‘party girl’. However she must have two key traits of Sagittarius; she must be optimistic and a gambler or she wouldn’t have agreed to marry you-know-who…

Katie’s smart, pulled together style hints that she must know what she is doing (or she has a very good stylist). Check out the elegant dress and earrings below.

Take this quick quiz to find out which Gossip Girl style is perfect for you…

Are You a Vanessa, Blair,

Serena, or Jenny?

.

1. How would you describe your relationship with your mom?

a. She’s not a big part of my life any more.

b. She has very high standards but I’m going to live my own life.

c. She is worried that I will repeat the mistakes she made in her life.

d. She is so busy with her career that I often feel like she doesn’t even notice I’m around.

2. How would you describe yourself?

a. I’ve grown up a lot over the last few years – I’m a better person and my relationships are healthier.

b. I feel like I can achieve anything once I set a goal for myself. I’m also much more independent and in control of my life than I was a few years ago.

c. I’m pretty much the same person I was a few years ago – I’m never satisfied with my situation, I always want more – and I’ll do almost anything to get what I want.

d. I’m smart, confident, and a hard worker but unlucky in love. Things are improving: even if my relationships still never seem to work out, at least I know I’m on the right track.

3. Describe what you would wear to an important job interview.

a. The hottest designer’s interpretation of business wear: possibly a bit over-the-top, but very expensive. I would put a lot of though into the shoes and purse as well.

This week celebrityicing compares two famous and iconic American boys: John F Kennedy Jr and Nick Simmons.

Sadly, JFK Jr’s plane crashed tragically in 1999, so he is no longer with us (although our crushes on him will live forever).

A Life Built on the American Dream

The original Kennedy, Joseph (John F Kennedy’ father), still held the tenacity and ambition of his Irish immigrant family – making his fortune in banking and the film industry. Gene Simmons came to the US with his mom Florence (a holocaust survivor) from Israel and built his fortune in the entertainment industry using raw talent, ingenuity, and excellent business and marketing skills.

Controversial Dads/Grandads

According to time.com, Franklin D Roosevelt called Joe Kennedy (JFK Jr’s grandfather) a ‘crook‘ (although indirectly). According to wikipedia.org, Al Franken (now a US Senator) described Gene Simmons (Nick’s dad) as “the most awful person I’ve ever met” during a 2002 interview.

Famous Family

The Kennedys and the Simmons are the closest thing Americans have to the royal families of European countries. The average person is very familiar with their lives, which are covered in the media in detail. They are affluent, exciting, inspiring, and -most importantly – photogenic.

US President John F. Kennedy, First Lady Jacquie Kennedy, daughter Caroline Kennedy, and son John F. Kennedy Jr make up the most famous first family of the United States of America and belong to one of the most famous, wealthy, and influential US families (“the Kennedys”).

Rock bassist, vocalist, actor and successful businessman Gene Simmons, girlfriend Shannon Tweed, daughter Sophie Tweed, and son Nick Simmons make up one of the most famous rock n roll families (perhaps a close second to the Osbournes?).

Surprisingly Vulnerable

Despite all of the advantages that good looks, wealth, and popularity bring –  both JFK Jr and Nick Simmons seem(ed) to be rather flustered by the attention and even embarrassed by their situation. (JFK Jr grew out of this so perhaps will Nick Simmons.) The tousled hair, eye-rolling, and awkwardly long limbs during the post teen years help purvey this image of course.

Professional Pursuits

John F Kennedy Jr was a talented actor but was discouraged by his family and studied law instead. He also founded the magazine George. Nick Simmons is also an actor (he plays himself on a reality TV show about his family) and creates comic books.

Tall, Dark, and Handsome

Here at celebrity icing we get style inspiration from our favorite stars. To get the JFK/Nick look above:

This is guest post by Darius Davies-Shojaee, who also writes The Daily Different on Becks.com.

10) Viggo Mortensen (not to be confused with Vigo the Carpathian from ‘Ghostbusters II’)

When sporting the homeless vagrant look of long, unwashed hair and scruffy beard (as he did in some weird movies about a magical ring), Viggo is almost irresistible to the human female. However, when he is clean-shaven with short back and sides, this guy has less prowess with women than I did at 15.

9) Daniel Craig

Oh, everyone loves him now he’s been to the gym and had his vitamin supplements (Randy Savage style). Plus, those tight-fitting swimming trunks from ‘Casino Royale’ probably increased his appeal to certain segments of the movie going public. But take all that away and what has he got? The face of a rugby player merged with that of Frank Bruno after 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.

Kate Blanchett

Famed for her portrayal of Elizabeth I in the films ‘Elizabeth’ and ‘Elizabeth: The Golden Age’. Elizabeth I herself was famed for being a monarch so wretchedly ugly that she could never find a husband. I rest my case.

7) Victoria Beckham

Somehow readers of lifestyle magazines around the world have been duped into thinking that not only is Mrs. David Beckham a fashion icon, but that she is also one of the most beautiful women in the world. There are many ways of refuting this, but I’ll stick with two:

1. Anyone can look amazing with an infinite budget, a team of stylists, and contractual stipulations that all official pictures be painstakingly Photoshoped;
2. The only reason why she was not referred to as the ugly one (or more accurately “the even uglier one”) from the Spice Girls was due to the existence of Mel C.

6) Cristiano Ronaldo

Me, jealous? How dare you think that? No honest person can deny that Ronaldo has the neck of a giraffe, looks like he’s been dipped in oil, and has bad skin. He also plays for a football team that every Arsenal fan (like me) views as evil. And he uses too much hair gel!

This week Celebrity Icing is starting a new series of posts about how your astrological sign can influence your accessories. And, in true Celebrity Icing style, we have celebrities to back up our story! First up, Aries -

Aries Star Style: Shannon Doherty

You may not like every Aries you meet, but you will certainly not forget them. Aries let those horns on their heads lead them to all sorts of trouble. They can be impulsive but they can also be great leaders, too – it just depends if they use their powers for good, instead of evil.

DARING DROP EARRINGS MAKE AN ARIES IMPRESSION

Aries love to travel. They send out a vibe that they are ‘going places’ and their natural energy can light up a room. Aries may not be attention seekers but they definitely draw attention to themselves. If everyone in the room is going to be looking at you (and talking about you afterwards) you might as well look good, right? Bold accessories complement the Aries character. Chunky necklaces and rings, big earrings, and bright colors are all perfect for you if you are an Aries…

-

BOLD HOOPS ARE THE PERFECT ARIES ACCESSORY

Later this month, we will feature some famous Taurus fashion. If you have any suggestions for who you would like to see, please submit the names in the comments below!

Everyone needs a key ring – this accessory is extremely practical but it doesn’t have to be boring. In fact, these rings can make great gifts! Here are some celebrity-inspired key rings…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

It’s not green but it’s still the perfect accessory on March 17th or the perfect gift to get your favorite Irish eyes a-smiling…

And, let’s face it hot Irish Colin Farrell could use some help accessorizing – what’s with the scarf? I think the role of “pretentious indie hipster” has already been taken and if it was vacant, he’d be too old for it anyways…

His and Her Gifts

Just moved in with the love of your life?  Here’s a mushy way to present him or her with a key. Awwwwwwwwwwwww….

Geek Love

Do you have a weakness for nerdy guys like me? Then, here is the perfect gift for your man – and, it’s an accessory that actually comes with an accessory – how cute is that? The character is a flash drive and the hoodie turns it into a keychain!

Jet Set Jewelry

Is your love always leaving on a jet plane? (or maybe just dreams about traveling?) Here’s a great gift. PS Also a great way to impress your jet setter with one of those famous blue Tiffany & Co boxes for under $200!

Way to Go, Tiger!

Now we here at Celebrity Icing would never suggest a golf-themed gift for Tiger Woods… but if you have a golfing enthusiast in your life you might consider this. Also the perfect way to present that key to the brand new golf cart he or she has been drooling over…

October 24, 2008

This morning 3 talented musicians will be honored by Billboard at a breakfast at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City. Also today, the Women In Music issue of Billboard is going to be issued. 

Deborah Harry, Ciara and Colbie Caillat are all receiving awards today and so Celebrity Icing is going to spotlight their style as a tribute to them. 

Deborah Harry – Icon Award

I am so happy to see these talented people recognized. Particularly, Deborah Harry who has inspired me personally. Did you know that Deborah Harry was 32 years old when her band, Blondie, had their first commercial hit? (1977 – “In the Flesh”, and that was in Australia). Her first US Hit was “Heart of Glass”, two years later. 

I searched for quite some time and it doesn’t seem like Deborah Harry wears jewelry very often. I guess when you’re a force of nature like her you don’t need to adorn yourself with any extra sparkle. She definitely draws attention naturally. 

Venetian Box Link Necklace

Ciara – Woman of the Year

Don’t Be Afraid To Accessorize On Halloween

Get your inspiration from these celebrities!

 

I’m not sure if Ice-T (below) is supposed to be a 70’s pirate, a boxer, a pimp, or just Hugh Hefner but whatever he is, his skull and cross bones necklace is pretty cool!

 

 

Make Your Special Event Even More Memorable

Make your Halloween a night she’ll always remember by giving her a gift that alludes to her costume. Was your first date on Halloween? Or maybe you met at a Halloween party?

Let’s face facts boys, the reality is she has probably put a lot of thought into her Halloween costume while you are probably going to throw something together at the last minute. Why not show her you appreciate the effort and thank her for making you the guy with the hottest girl at the Halloween party? 

Here are some ideas, if you know what her costume is going to be this Halloween so you can surprise her with a gift. 

Gift Ideas

Is she going as a Queen Bee?                    

 

Bee-utiful

 A princess?

Little Bo Peep?

Or, maybe it’s your little girl’s first Halloween party?

   

Little Lady

And just so the guys don’t feel left out…

 

 

This gift suits his costume to a ‘tee’.

Celebrity Icing will focus on the jewelry of the stars…and beyond. Come to Celebrity Icing for an up to date style watch on the stars.

Sometimes the trends are hot…

…sometimes they’re not.

Sometimes they are in good taste…

…and sometimes they are just too sweet.

Whatever they are, you can count on my honest opinion about it because when it comes to my two favorite topics, celebrities and jewelry – my blog Celebrity Icing really takes the cake!

Feel free to send me some sugar in the comments. On the other hand, if any of my views leave a sour taste in your mouth go ahead and leave something more frosty – just keep it clean!
