4 Great Sites for Affordable Teen Fashion

ens are always on the lookout for affordable and fashionable clothing retailers. Whether you’re in the market for summer outfits, lazy beach day bathing suits and dresses, or a simple pair of heels for a summer internship, these websites will have you set with a new wardrobe in no time (and no money).



1. Lulus.com Last month, I shot a segment in LA for Access Hollywood, and my entire wardrobe as well as my models’ outfits were mostly provided by Lulus.com. I’ve been a major fan of the website (who carries affordable brands like BB Dakota and Jessica Simpson) for quite some time now, and after working with them on a major segment and seeing how efficiently they run, I couldn’t be more impressed.



2. Missguided Another retailer I partnered with for my Access shoot was Misguided, a UK brand similar to Lulus.com, but with many different brands and price points. Taylor (modeling a Missguided dress above) rocked this red mini on the show, and people raved over its $17 price tag! Make sure you get “misguided” and end up here!



3. Boohoo.com Boohoo recently invited me to their press preview in NYC, where my eyes became locked on several pieces suitable for my teen budget, and sense of bold fashion choices. For those girls and boys looking to experiment this summer with bold prints, trendy colors, and unusual fabrics, Boohoo is the place for you.



4. Sheinside Similar to other online retailers, Sheinside has become an inside source for everything fashion-related. Known for being one of the first online retailers to latch onto trends the minute they hit the runway, Sheinside deserves your thanks for efficiently bringing Paris and Milan RTW pieces straight to your computer, and without the hefty price tag.

The Band Perry, Wynonna Judd Lift Williams Syndrome Campers' Lives at Country Music Camp

Last week was a special one for 30 campers from across the country, who descended upon Nashville for the Academy of Country Music Lifting Lives Music Camp. Held June 23-27, the five-day event provided music enrichment through performance and education for campers who have been diagnosed with Williams Syndrome.

Many of the biggest stars in the format took time out of their schedules to share the gift of music with the campers. On Monday, Republic Nashville’s The Band Perry led a songwriting workshop, recording a song with the campers called "Bright Eyes" during a Wednesday recording session with producer Ross Copperman at Ocean Way Studio that also featured a visit from Curb’s Lee Brice. Throughout the week, campers got to visit with rising stars The Swon Brothers, J.T. Hodges, and Casey James, before winding up their week closing out the Friday night performance of the Grand Ole Opry with Chris Janson.

Sandwiched in the middle of the week’s events was a night of karaoke at Music City hotspot Winners Bar on Division. Participating in the Wednesday night event were Atlantic’s Brett Eldredge and the legendary Wynonna Judd.

Eldredge told Billboard that he was glad to be a part of the event for the second year. “I fell deeply in love with this event and ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp," he said, "I woke up and was waiting all day to get to this moment. I called my mom and dad last year after it was over, and told them I wish you could experience what I just did writing songs with the campers. I’ve never been that moved in all of my life. I wanted to be able to use my music ability to help out others and share with others. The campers here have so much energy and love for it, I’m just so inspired.”

An event like the karaoke night is proof of the power of music, and how it can unite, said Eldredge. "Someone is singing ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ right now, and they are getting into it on stage. They’re holding their hands up on stage and enjoying it. That’s what I want to see when I go to watch a show. I want to feel it, and they do that. I get to be here to lend my craft to it, and that’s a touching feeling. Music touches all, and it can take you so many places – it has nothing to do with your struggles you might be having. It can help you with them."

For Wynonna, what sets the night apart is the pure and unfiltered enthusiasm that the campers feel for the music – and the artists involved. "These kids here are so joyful. One of them said to one of the camp counselors, 'I get to see Wynonna. That’s going to make my whole week.' I love that kind of feeling. Country music fans are the most loyal in the universe. I get more out of it than they do. Somebody will walk up to me and say something so real and so tangible that isn’t about show business. It’s real people, and a real loving environment. They get out there and they own the stage. Last year, I had a guy say 'Sit down, I’m gonna sing to you.' He was telling me what to do."

Judd agreed with Eldredge’s assessment concerning the power of music, saying she still is amazed by its' healing power. "I think music saves everyone’s life. I’m on Twitter everyday, and people will talk about listening to my song while I’m going through chemotherapy or one of my songs helping them through a divorce or something like that. Music is a healer, and I don’t care what you’re going through. We all can remember a song from a period in our lives that got us through."

For camper Joshua Dean – who entertained the crowd with take on The Zac Brown Band’s "Colder Weather," it was a week that he will be eternally grateful to the ACM as well as the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities for organizing. "I think this is crazy. I’ve been to a lot of country music venues, but nothing like this. Lifting Lives has really blessed us all, and to be able to come here, and experience this for the first time. ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp gives young adults with Williams Syndrome a chance to experience Nashville and country music, but all kinds of music. To experience all of that in one week is an awesome feeling."

Jennifer Aniston Looks Radiant on First Red Carpet in Months, Supports Justin Theroux at Leftovers

Jennifer Aniston's first red carpet appearance in months was worth the wait. The Cake actress looked stunning and slim as she walked alongside fiance Justin Theroux at the New York City premiere of his new HBO series The Leftovers on Monday, June 23.

Asked how it felt to have Aniston there to support him, Theroux told Us Weekly, "It feels great!"

Clad in a black blouse left unbuttoned to expose her cleavage, and a black miniskirt that showed off her toned, tanned legs, the 45-year-old Friends alum happily posed for photographs with her husband-to-be, 42. She wore her hair in loose, tousled waves past her shoulders, and kept the accessories to a minimum—just earrings, a gold watch, and her huge diamond engagement ring.

Theroux, meanwhile, cut a dapper figure in a Dior Homme navy wool suit and crisp white shirt. He and his future wife—engaged since 2012—were all smiles on the red carpet, and even wrapped their arms around each other's waists as they stood side-by-side.

"Jen and Justin were really sweet together," an onlooker tells Us Weekly. "They were both absolutely beaming. Inside the event, Jen was being really sociable and looked extremely happy. They looked totally in love and seemed very relaxed."

Aniston has not made an official red carpet appearance in several months. Her last major premiere was the Life of Crime debut at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival in September. Since then, she's been busy filming the movie Cake, for which she wears minimal makeup and sports a short brunette bob.

The Leftovers, premiering June 29 on HBO, stars the actress' fiance as the chief of police in a fictional New York suburb following a global "Rapture" of sorts. The show is based on Tom Perrotta's novel of the same name, and costars Amy Brenneman, Christopher Eccleston, Liv Tyler, and Chris Zylka.

The Daytime Emmys' red-carpet hosts stir up controversy with a rape joke


This year, some real-life drama surrounds the soap-focused Daytime Emmy Awards.

A few weeks before the ceremony, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences issued a casting call for social media mavens to host the event's live-streamed red carpet preshow. Specifically, as reported by Soap Opera Network, organizers wanted "millennials between the ages of 18-35, all ethnicities, who have a strong entertainment news background and/or very strong social media following (300,000 followers minimum)." Last Wednesday, the NATAS revealed that it had selected a foursome with a mighty social reach: Vine star Brittany Furlan, style vlogger Lauren Elizabeth, beauty vlogger Jessica Harlow, and Meghan Rosette, who vlogs about style and beauty.

The chosen four certainly have large followings on sites like YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Vine, and Facebook—but their collective entertainment-news backgrounds aren't quite as strong. After a red carpet show criticized as amateurish and occasionally downright offensive, some irate viewers are demanding that NATAS issue an apology for Furlan, Elizabeth, Harlow, and Rosette's antics.

Among the offenses the women committed, as outlined by TVLine's Matt Mitovich: Furlan "literally came onto, and hard, every male in attendance, to a degree that makes E!'s Giuliana Rancic look positively demure" (see, for example, this interaction with Mario Lopez); Harlow called The Bold and the Beautiful's Lawrence Saint-Victor "a beautiful chocolate man" before asking, apropos of nothing, "What's it like to be a black man on a soap opera these days?" Most egregiously, Furlan bid goodbye to General Hospital actor Ryan Paevey by saying, "We're going to get you away from us before we rape you."

Viewers were swift to criticize the hosts, especially for Furlan's casual evocation of rape.

The four hosts—and the NATAS—have yet to respond directly to the criticism. Furlan did, however, tweet this not-so-subtle message in the wee hours of Monday morning:

Lady Gaga wows in '70s-inspired low-cut silver dress and curly brown wig

She's a disco diva! Lady Gaga wows in '70s-inspired low-cut silver dress and curly brown wig as she heads to recording session in New York

It takes a lot of effort to change outfits several times a day.

But Lady Gaga once again proved she's got energy in spades when she exited her New York apartment on Sunday dressed in a 1970s disco-style silver dress paired with diamanté-studded stockings and soft blush pumps.

Fans waiting outside went wild for the look - which included a funky curly brown wig and retro round sunglasses - and bestowed upon her a bouquet of flowers.



On her way to a recording session with crooner Tony Bennett, the songstress tweeted: 'I love singing with him.'

Gaga's look took a page from 1970s disco fashion, known for flashy silver and gold dresses - and very high hair.

And of course the pop star upped the fashion ante by highlighting her legs in a pair of sheer stockings which featured glitzy diamanté studs all over, worn with blush-coloured pointy pumps.

She completed the look with a pair of round silver-framed sunglasses featuring amber lenses.

Despite her fashion athletics, Gaga is looking healthy and rested.

A day earlier, the singer looked like a completely different person with her blackened hair piled on top of her head and wearing a cleavage-revealing blue jumpsuit that defied gravity, with a jacket over her shoulder as she met with fans.

With her hair up in a bun, the singer looked almost unrecognisable from her usual blonde self.

Without a meat suit in sight, she capped the look with a feminine pair of heels and some designer sunglasses. She also carried a black handbag.

Even more impressively, she kept it simple in terms of make-up and jewellery - actually looking tasteful.

It comes just one day after she was seen in a funky-patterned purple shirt. She rounded out the outfit with a pair of beige, classic stilettos.

But Lady Gaga still made sure to maintain her unique edgy style as she donned her striking black wig.

It was the same wig that she wore on Friday, when she stepped out in a white billowy gown, highly reminiscent of character Princess Leia from Star Wars.

The star was keeping up appearances even while debate raged over whether the 28-year-old had finally gone too far with the clip for Do What You Want.

On Thursday, the supposedly scrapped clip of the video, showing her duet partner R. Kelly pretending to fondle the Telephone singer while she was on the operating table, leaked on the internet and caused outrage.

Instead of addressing the raging controversy over the film - which had been branded akin to an 'ad for rape,' - the star made a flippant reference to it, posting a picture of her dogs on Instagram late Thursday claiming they were watching in it.

The Poker Face singer captioned the picture: 'Stella and Asia after watching DWUW [Do What You Want].'

She also decided to show that she had not lost any sleep over the criticism posting a makeup-free selfie while lying in bed.

Looking fresh faced and rested, Lady gaga wrote: 'Morning monster world.'

Lady Gaga will soon be returning on the road of her artRAVE tour at the end of June, and will commence the rest of her tour in Milwaukee.

The singer had earlier cancelled several performances in Seattle and Vancouver following a bout with bronchitis in late May, People reports.
