It's impossible to mention Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett without considering their contributions to fashion. Farrah's casual yet hip look from her Charlie's Angels days, and Michael's clothes adorned with crystals are back in vogue. Where Farrah Fawcett's style is soft, with beige and shell hues and soft edges, Michael's was about contrast, flash and edginess.

Casual Elegance of Farrah Fawcett: The Beauty
Farrah Fawcett's natural beauty was enhanced by her understated and softly colored wardrobe. She could make any white or light color look like gold. A pair of casual, off-white pants with a pair of platform heels and collared shirt were all she needed for a day or night on the town.

Farrah Fawcett looked just as beautiful and elegant in a pair of jeans, a red blouse and a pair of Nike roller skates. No matter what she wore, her accessories were minimal, and she let her movie star smile and fabulous hair accessorize her look. Highlight your best feature every day, or go pop star style and accessorize your wardrobe like a star, similar to Michael Jackson.

Borrowing from Michael Jackson: The Beat
The popularity of the Swarovski crystal has not waned since Michael Jackson first came into his own, wearing that infamous red leather coat. It is more popular today than ever before, and can be found on boots, hair accessories, shirts and jackets. Wearing an ornate necklace is one way to add extravagant shine to your wardrobe, and get noticed, pop star style.

He wore black and white frequently, in a way that has been emulated frequently by pop star Gwen Stefani. Gwen Stefani often sports black and white, striped or not, or black and red stripes. Contrast is key for pop star style, and when you want everyone to notice you walk to your own beat.

Attention all animal lovers! Kenya is calling...

Kenya has some of the most spectacular wild animal reserves in the world. A trip to Kenya must include at least one animal safari—visitors on safari are expected to see around 30-40 different species of animals. Expect to see such a range of animals, including wildebeest, zebra, wild dogs, hyena, cheetah, leopard, lion, jackal, crocodile, elephant, rhino...the list goes on. For these expeditions, come prepared with a good pair of binoculars.

In order to tackle all of this animal sight-seeing, you will need a luxuriously comfortable bed...and some pampering wouldn't hurt.

The Fairmont Hotel has locations all around the world, but the one that has climbed the charts in terms of luxury and decadence is the Fairmont Mari Safari Club in Masai Mara, Kenya. The Safari Club is ranked # 48 of best hotels in the world. The hotel is located right on the Mara river, which serves as the home to many wild animals, such as crocodiles and hippos. The Masai Mara park reserve borders the Fairmont Mari Safari Club. This park reserve is one of the most famous in the world, and is noted for the annual migration of the zebra and wildebeest which takes place from July to October each year ("The Great Migration").

The Fairmont Mari Safari Club contains 50 luxurious tents where guests are housed. These tents are extremely unlike the type of tents used by campers—they are beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. Each tent has its own extremely modern three-piece bathroom, and many tents have extended decks for private dining and outdoor showers. The restaurant at the Safari Club serves traditional African fare and provides live music every night.

The best reason to stay at the Safari Club, however, is the offering of superb safari packages to the Masai Mara park reserve. The Safari Club offers different accommodations and tour packages. My favorite contains a full-day drive through the park and a hot-air balloon ride! Have fun!
