Singer and style icon, Gwen Stefani was never just a girl
"I've always been a girl who loves to dress up," says Gwen. "I already put my makeup on twice today: I put it on to take my kid to school, and then I went home, washed my face, and put it on again to have lunch with you." She even wears it at home because "I like to make my husband like me more," she says, laughing, "and he likes it when I'm wearing makeup."
Gwen recalls how she felt when, at the age of 25, she spent eight hours in a hair salon in Long Beach getting her coveted white-blonde locks. "It was like I'd unlocked the key. I remember feeling like, 'I have arrived. This is me. Finally.'" The red lip came when her grandmother gave her a crimson lipstick when she was in high school. "I remember sitting in my ghetto, beat-up Honda Prelude and putting on that lipstick in the rearview mirror and being like, 'Uh-huh, I like that. That's the shit right there.' I never stopped after that."

i've had this post in my favorites for months because i love gwen's outfit in it. the whole thing. help figuring out what she's wearing or anything similar?
9/10 her shoes, sweaters/jackets/coats, tops and bags are L.A.M.B (zappos.com)
The criminal thing is half the stuff is never released (i.e
Samples).
ugh her and her kids are so adorable and flawless i just can't
& I can't wait for the new album to come out!
That said, it's not really anything you can't ascertain through REALLY examining her lyrics and articles like these. If anything she is an open book, I'll give her that.
She is so flawless.
Plus she should tone down whatever she is doing to her face 'cause her eyebrows are about to reach her hairline.
PS I have a problem with grown-ass women calling themselves "girls". After a certain age people usually acquire a certain wisdom and this term can be rather belittling, it sounds like these women are trying to pass themselves as passive and inoffensive as possible.
