ASK MS. ELITOU: How can I add pearls to my “Raver Cool” style?

 “Hey Ms. Elitou! I have what you call a ‘Raver Cool’ party style. I’m a twenty-year old, college student who studies hard so when I have time off I truly enjoy a party! When I go out to a party I have a really fun style.  I love to wear neon colored clothing and accessories, crop tops, fun wedges and fitted distressed jeans for the most part.  I would really like to switch up my common neon accessories and I was hoping you could suggest a pearl style for me. Thanks!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      -Sara C. read more

WORST DRESSED AT BET AWARDS 2014: Keke Palmer

LOS ANGELES (June 29, 2014)– We have no idea what the beautiful 20-year-old, Keke Palmer was thinking when she attended the 2014 BET Awards wearing  this white and gold Alon Livne mini dress, but it landed her on our worst dressed list for Pearls Only.

We always loved her sweetheart style, but this mini dress with bold hip cutouts does not fit the young lady’s usual classy and chic style which makes her seem a little desperate to be seen as a sex symbol.

In contrary to the fashion miss, her face and hair looks beautiful and very natural. read more
