The night was full of amazing performances by Jay-Z & Kanye West, Beyonce's unpredictable ending rubbing the belly housing her and Jay-Z's future bundle of joy, and Chris Brown's fun flying performance the night was certainly entertaining.

Other than the great performances comes the amazing fashion. Let's review the fashion of the night!

After watching the California Gurlz music video for inspiration I re-created Katy's headband for Candyfornia and wore it over her infamous purple wig to the California Dreams Tour.

The peppermint headband for Ms. Peppermint was formed after the one in the music video.

After creating my Candyfornia headband I turned to the Califonia Gurlz music video once more for inspiration. I developed a collage of candy to apply to my dress after a failed attempt of shopping for a cupcake like dress that a-lined and sort of emerged into a tutu.

I applied the collage to my dress and absolutely loved the way it turned out. It was so much fun creating it and even more fun wearing it at the California Dreams Tour! Although my dress didn't have spinning peppermints like Katy's I think my dress will do.

California Dreams Tour: Houston

Katy Perry takes off this summer selling out around the US for the California Dreams Tour. With her latests hits Last Friday Night & E.T. the tour has had a full house around Texas this past weekend that had every teenage girl to mothers screaming out each song word for word.

Perry also had a 'Katy-oake' moment during the concert making venues like the Houston Toyota Center seem intimate as everyone karoaked at their best singing along with KP as she sang acuostic covers to 'Only Girl in the World' by Rihanna, 'Big Pimpin' by Jay-Z, & 'Whip My Hair Back and Forth' by Willow Smith.

The theme of the tour starts out in a butcher shop, the butcher is the villian throughout the sets. Leaving the butcher shop she passes the cupcake shop in which Katy dares to catch the attention of the 'Bakers Boy' thus comes along the theme of 'Candyfornia' taking on the storyline similiar to that of the Wizard of Oz...but in a KP way. Featuring characters: Kitty Purry, mimes, slot machine (Vegas), etc. You'll enjoy the whole sort and assortment of candy on the stage.

Enjoy! You saw it here first on FOTW!

Flavor of the Week

The trends are veering towards casual chic. Always being comfortable. More cottons, button down structured t-shirt dresses, linens, earthy tones mixed with an added pop of orange or lime green. Connecting with the subtle and making it spark with a pop of color.

Other trends coming out are mixing patterns, mixing stripes with stripes. Keeping it cool and casual yet chic in cottons or jersey mesh fabrics and belting it to keep a figure.

Here are a few examples of items & trends I love now:

Nicole Miller mixing a comfortable outfit with a pop of color... the outfit featured in last month's Glamour magazine. The Nicole Miller Collection sheer top with a lime green bra underneath. A great example of the trends to come.

Stripe on Stripes

A great example of this combined look is the new White House Black Market 'Striped Ponte Sheath Dress.'

White House Black Market / Striped Ponte Shealth Dress

This dress is a perfect example of the trends now. Although it's comfortable and made of cotton the structure gives it a great poise. Comfortable & functional! Great for work or a night out to dinner with the girls!

....paired with the new Isobel Toledo 'Striped Vamp' shoes available at Payless.

Even the colors are reversed in stripes from the dress to shoe (dress is white stripes on black, shoes are black stripes on white) giving it an alluring texture & depth to your attire.

Beauty products of the week

I have come across some great products here recently from Origins. One of them being Modern Friction™

 It is a great exfoliator/dermabrasion! Made with Rice Starch it's not rough on my skin. Use maybe 2 or 3 times a week. Incorporate it into your skin regimen after cleansing for smooth skin.

"Sand-blasting skin with coarse, chemical crystals? How painfully passé. Here’s age-smoothing exfoliation without irritation. Skin-refining Rice Starch, cushioned in cream, shows real affinity for rapidly removing sluggish cells, uneven patches and signs of skin damage and discolorations. Lemon Oil kick starts the process of illumination. Another age-sweeping action: skin-menacing molecules are mopped up. All while Aloe keeps skin calm and comfy. There’s no ouch, extra steps or other complications. No redness or flaking follows. The before-and-afters are amazing. Signs of fine lines and size of pores appear to shrink in size. Skin looks perfectly polished, smooth and luminous. And the perk-me-up aromas of Bergamot and Peppermint help you look on the bright side." - Origins

If you haven't already incorporated a facial mask into your skin regimen once a week you should consider Origins Clear Improvement® Mask. I am usually so sensitive to mask and this one was fantastic!

"When environmental toxins, dirt and debris get under your skin, its waste-filtering system gets jammed, pores get clogged, skin looks cloudy. Nature's complexion clean-up crew gets to the bottom of skins overcast condition and clears the way for it to act its best. Activated Charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out deep-dwelling pore-cloggers, White China Clay absorbs environmental toxins, Lecithin dissolves impurities. Without all that "stuff" down there, skin "breathes a sigh of relief." - Origins

Songs of the Week:

'Undisclosed Desires' - MUSE

'E.T. / Extraterrestrial" - Katy Perry feat Kanye West

An awesome dance that was choreographed to Katy Perry's 'E.T'. - Nick DeMoura's dance
