Happy Birthday Barbie!

On Friday, Barbie celebrated her fifty-third birthday and throughout her two decades as Mattel's most iconic merchandise, George and Margaret Roberts daughter has been a busy girl. From architect to McDonald's cashier, plastic surgeon to United States Air Force Thunderbirds pilot, Barbie has had sixty-three careers (the next time someone questions your career path, tell them Barbie's your role model). As recognition of Barbara Millicent Roberts cultural impact, here are a quartet of women who made life modeled in plastic just as fantastic.

                

 In 2012, Shawn Johnson should join Barbie as a two time Olympian and hopefully Barbie will join Shawn as a Dancing With The Stars champion.

Diane von Furstenberg and Barbie may each line the catwalk with some fierce skirts and stilettos, but Skipper's sister simply can't match the wrap dress.

Barbie never received the two billlion pairs of eyes which watched Kate and William's wedding, though Barbie has been a princess since 1990 while Kate is only princess consort.

Hilary Clinton may not have achieved the Oval Office, which Barbie attained in 2000. However, Barbie has never served as First Lady, Senator, or Secretary of State.

International Loves

International Women's Day, a celebration both of female economic, political and social achievements and of respect, appreciation, and love towards women, was celebrated for the thirty-fifth year Thursday. In honor of one of the world's most obviously significant holidays (duh), below are five international women I absolutely adore.

Whenever I think Kate Hudson (USA), I think this Marchesa gown which I would seriously wear to bed every night if I owned it.  You can never (stress NEVER) go wrong with white on the red carpet.

Sara Ramirez (Mexico) was so scorching in this Tadashi Shoji LBD, George O'Malley begged God for another fifteen minutes of life. Muy Callie-ente!

If Nicole Kidman (Australia) ever thinks of exchanging her natural hair color for the blonde locks she expiramented with, she should remember or someone should show her a picture of the Grammy Awards when she rocked this Jean Paul Gaultier gown. Perfection!

Kate Winslet (England) once spoke of flying and she absolutely soars in this form fitting Yves Saint Laurent one shoulder. She is a porcelain doll.

Natalie Portman (Israel) is three cups of adorable, two ounces of enchanting, and one tablespoon of precious in this Rodarte gown. Most dressed baby bump ever.

Like A Shot Of Pure Gold

My latest obsession and argueably the most outspoken and unique artist since Lady Gaga is twenty-three year old British sensation Jessie J. She may have started her career quietly, co-writing "Party In The USA" for Miley Cyrus, but with a pair of Billboard UK number one's (Price Tag and Domino), a number eleven album on the Billboard Hot 200, and a stint as judge on the British version of "The Voice," Jessie has established a presence which could allow her "Heartbeats" to one day accomplish the unthinkable, challenge the "Little Monsters." And can we even discuss her fashion...

Every second was a highlight for Jessie when she rocked this disco ball inspired Julien MacDonald gown at the 2012 Grammys.

 Jessie achieved the impossible, accessorizing and exceeding these printed pants with black and gold bracelets and a pair of glasses as a necklace.

Someone text Katy Perry and let her know this is how an extraterrestrial accents purple hair.

 Jessie has me infatuated with this exotic one shoulder green mini-dress. The dragon vibe of the frock was fabulous enough, but the button detail down her leg and the shoes are totes amaze.

I may not be in love with this look, but who cannot respect someone who pairs a black bandeau zip-up and an Oscar gold jacket with those pants?

Rising From The Ground

Demi Lovato's MTV documentary 'Stay Strong,' which chronicles the 'Skyscraper' singer's November 2010-January 2011 rehab stay, premiered Tuesday evening. Since her stay in treatment, Demi has courageously spoken out about the bulimia and self-injury that threatened her life.

As a Seventeen Magazine Contributing Editor, Demi has further discussed her personal issues as part of a larger campaign called "Love is Louder than the Pressure to Be Perfect", directed towards teen girls. If you or someone you know, whether boy or girl, is struggling with an eating disorder, mental health issues or self-injury, visit LoveIsLouder.com or call the National Youth Crisis Hotline at 800-488-4663.

Below are some of Demi's best post treatment moments.

Lighten Up

One of Spring's signature shades this year is pastels, which I am absolutely in love with. I have seen so much lately. It truly excites me because it makes me feel confidant that winter has finally come and gone. One of the most popular ways through which pastels have shown their presence, and you should consider this for your next event is in dresses and gowns.
