Shell-o Heidi

2009-04-02T10:49:00.001-07:00

Heidi Klum was spotted at a photo shoot in some architectual heels, crazy-cute LRD and this plastic-red shell mini-bubble dress. Is wearing red tupperware high art? High fashion? or is it simply kitchen-couture?

Marni, Marry Me?

2008-09-10T09:29:00.000-07:00

These super sleek and incredibly glossy Marni Metallic peep-toes are worth becoming betrothed to. They are just classy enough to wear to work with black tights and a tunic or perfect for a crazy night out at a club. They're an irresistible sassy shiny red with a chunky wooden heel and platform. And though the cost ($705) might mean you'll have to brown bag to work for a while...isn't it worth the cold sandwich cost?

This is super-chic on the cheap. Urban Outfitters offers this $99 Ipa-Nima Robyn Leather Runway bag just in the nick of time for September and the inevitable falling leaves and temps. And what says autumn better than a rustic leather bag with tassel trim, turn lock pockets and fully lined zipper pockets. This is sure to be the bag on our shoulder as things get colder.

Retrospect Eva: Glamazon at the Almas

2008-08-22T08:27:00.000-07:00

Conrad Clothes Copy

2008-08-11T11:51:00.000-07:00

Lauren Conrad, infamous for her un-reality show stint, "The Hills," has garnered fame and fashion (as in her own clothing line) from her stint as the protagonist as a Hollywood Mean Girl. But Lauren loves to wear her own designs and flaunt her toned and tight LA bod. And while she may never be a movie star her faux fame is still enough to make us a wannable Conrad clone.

Just because July 4th has come and gone, doesn't mean you can't still sport stars and stripes in honor of the holiday, America and style. Try the Kenneth Jay Lane Ring, sold in both white and black, this $53 steal is an enamel-inlaid cocktail ring with swarovski crystals and stars and comes in 18K gold.

Mad 4 Plaid

2008-07-02T04:42:00.001-07:00

Some fashion trends seem to ebb and flow and one that is especially known for its returning revivals is the plaid dress but in recent years plaid has been more apt to feature tulle, funky belts, bodices and sweetheart necklines.

The latest touches in plaid fashion give the fabric more wearability and versatility. Pair plaid with knee high boots and colored tights and you've got a fashion statement that is unique and full of imagination.

Purse 4 a Prada Princess

2008-06-26T06:11:00.000-07:00

The Prada Fairy bag has definitely had wings. This thing has flown off shelves. Sienna Miller, Hilary Duff and Jennifer Love Hewitt are just a few of the female celebs with a love of this tinker bell type-tote.

And the bag sold out at Neiman Marcus in just two days. Drawings of fairies in plum, earth tones and black against a white background made of deerskin has made these $2290 bags attract the Benjamins.

Try overstockluxury.com for a fair-y good deal on this bag.

Teal for a Steal!

2008-06-20T06:47:00.000-07:00

These lovely azure dresses are the perfect addition to any summer wardrobe. They're lightweight, swingy and easy to wear.

But one costs some major dollars and makes no cents. While the other is a bargain buy. Either one, has major teal appeal.

Which is the teal steal??

Summer is full of events...weddings, reunions, birthdays and BBQ's and while all these parties are bound to bring lots of enjoyment...it can be stressful to mix and mingle with all the diff people at every engagement...but if u need a little "conversation starter" try the Juicy Couture 14k gold buckle bracelet.

In one of the most famous scenes in the new SATC movie, Carrie is walking the streets of NY in a tight ruched white dress with a huge flower attached...but the scene stealer in the movie is not the large attached vegetation but her shoes!

Christian Dior Cut-Outs, $780, Neiman Marcus

$1000 for a pair of pumps may be a bit steep...so why not try these Piperlime BCBG cut-out sandals for $98!

What Color Is Your Parachute??

2008-06-12T07:24:00.000-07:00

After treating Dad this Father's Day to dinner and a tie (or something more creative!) it will be difficult to justify spending $ on yourself...but if there's still an inner fashion fiend that needs to be fed... than this is the bargain to send your splurge demons packing.

Perfect in time for summer is the affordable and fanatastic Parachute Ring from Banana Republic.

It's a SUPER steal at $39 and comes in holly-jolly candy colors...either multistripe yellow cream and baby blue. Or in coral and sunset colors. Both are enamel and come in sizes 5, 6, 7 and 8!

2008-05-29T09:35:00.000-07:00

Choosing the right swimsuit is like trying to drive blindfolded. It's bound to be full of disasters and accidents, tears and tragedy.

But fear not, Victoria Secret is here to save the day. They have a stellar selection of swimsuits in funky colors and unique cut-out designs.

One of my favs from their current selections:

Rampage Tattoo Stripe Bikini, $104 for full suit

Pink is SO in and with the cute screenprint and black rings...summer is bound to be sultry!

2008-05-20T15:48:00.000-07:00

Though in a recent post I mentioned "Copying Carrie"...this post is dedicated to the effortless eccentric entertaining style that SJP sports. She loves funky embellishments, borderline-tacky textures and crazy accessories--plus, unexpected outfit decoration (hello she wore a green butterfly headpiece to the Londone premiere of SATC!).

2008-05-14T07:24:00.000-07:00

With so many shoe trends out there for summer...metallic flats, strappy gladiators and funky printed pumps, it's hard to chose a must-have shoe.

But here it is!

This dynamic wooden platform has a cut-out design, sexy red panels and brown laces-ups.

Even though Mother's Day has come and gone, there's no need to wait until next year to buy mom or any lucky gal something special.

And what could be more summery than strawberries?

This Kenneth Jay Lane Strawberry necklace would be to-die-for with cute wedges, a hot bag with red bead handle and a flirty flowy halter dress.

Best of Costume Gala

2008-05-06T09:40:00.000-07:00

Time for a run-down of one of the more star-studded events as of late, The Costume Institute's Gala. The stars worked vintage fashions in shades of deep violet, striking silver and bad-ass black.

There was more variety than a vegas buffet. Cheers to the stars for taking risks and enjoying the best part of fashion: the fun.

Best: (Left to Right)

Rachel Bilson in Calvin Klein. She could've become Morticia Addams in this long night-number but with flirty bangs and a petite bod, she pulls away from somber into stylish.

Diane Kruger is bound to be the next major It girl. She has model-looks, a famous beau (Joshua Jackson from Dawson's Creek) and acting chops. She works this silver mini-Alberta Ferretti with the utmost attitude and pink heels!

Love 2 hate her. She's a supermodel, earns millions a year and gets her shut eye next to Tom Brady (plus, she spent many a night with Leo DiCaprio). This Versace gown does nothing to dispel any of the distaste for this bewilderingly beautiful Bundchen.

Best of the Best: Katie Holmes who stunned and surprised in a 1993 Armani in fiery orange.

Chainy Day

2008-05-02T09:04:00.000-07:00

Madonna likes to make fashion statements that cannot be replicated, or if at least attempted, because of her iconic status. As she ages, she may have lost her cone bras but she still loves to shock and surprise and her black Givenchy dress is wrapped in many a gold chain.

On anyone else this would be a fashion no-no.

But the Madgesty herself is somehow able to work the 'chain gang' look and still be sophisticated and cool.

All hail the Queen

The new trend in uber-chic circles is the ruffled blouse.

Or wear it with a skirt and skinny belt for a fashion forward career day/interview.

Best of the Academy Awards...and it wasn't Jon Stewart

2008-02-25T09:03:00.000-08:00

The Oscar telecast was a bit dull. Most of the action was on the red-carpet...baby bumps, feathers and lots of intertwining diamonds (Nic Kidman)...this seemed to be the only real razzle dazzle

But here are my favorite dresses:

Katherine Heigel, who seems to be a major diva, from stories I've heard but she can't be denied with her itsy bitsy waist on display in this bold Escada gown

Kristin Chenoweth, in a black Prive gown and Fred Leighton jewels

HERE'S THE ROUND-UP
Best

Michelle Pfeiffer in a Reese Witherspoon look-a-like Versace dress (not yellow) but a muted brown, hair up, cute croc clutch and matching Louboutin pumps...she looks like she's 30!

Ashley Tisdale looked stunning in a Badgley Mischka gown--Couture white

Marcia Cross beautiful in striking teal--floor length gown--Lhullier

Angelina Jolie, could not be any more pretty (jealous!) in her flowing vintage Hermes gown!

America Ferrera either had on some major spanx or has lost lots of lbs during the strike...form fitting gray Lhullier gown...with lace and Choo heels

Marion Cotillard! Stunning! Strapless pale gray Nina Ricci

Amanda Bynes---loose braids, beaded Marchesa gown, curvy and lovely

Rebecca Gayheart in a fiery red Marchesa gown, a ponytail and Neil Lane jewels

Worst

January Jones of Mad Men in a large nightmare of a pink ballgown with a weird neckline and

shiny fabric...it's not the prom!

Eva Longoria...I've seen her look MUCH cuter at basketball games...she had a frizzy up-do and a tired white gown that didn't flatter

Kate Hudson is adorable but her floor length busy strapless Balmain gown lacked elegance

Jenna Fischer in a tight satin blue encrusted bodice gown, old-fashioned and unflattering

Kate Beckinsdale in a pale, ruffled ugly bridesmaid knock-off

Toss-Ups

Chrisitna Applegate looked pretty but matronly in her sparkly white gown

But now she's hosting her own fashion show called Ultimate Style

She's gorgeous but can she gab about fashion?

She's had a few mis-steps along the way...

Carrie Underwood: It Girl

Carrie, AKA American Idol spawn seems to be everywhere...it doesn't hurt that she's the epitome of caterpillar-to-butterfly

She was a little more filled out and lots less glamorous in her idol heyday

Now, she's a tanned, toned, total hottie...Country music never looked this good

Fashionwise she's on a roll...
lots of great heels, lace, silk, and perfect buttery blonde highlights...

2007-10-12T10:36:00.001-07:00

Normally this blog is dedicated to clothes, shoes, accessories and celeb style but today I will highlight the ugly side of the fashion world:

The many, many models who starve themselves to get on the catwalk

Exhibit A-recent pics of Gemma Ward, NOW and probably no more than a year or so ago ...

The picture nearest the text shows someone who is very thin and the pic far left explains what her natural wght might be closer to...

scary how thin she got to model and her natural proportions are a major contradiction

and been photographed looking like she was headed for cellulite city with stringy hair, mom physique and sloppy styles but

slam on those bumpy lumpy brakes...

other than Demi Moore MRS. Sorvino is the Queen of comeback

Her bod is hotter than most early twenty-somethings...she's looking like a stick of dynamite...

God bless the Italians and their legs!

Fly Away??

EMMY FASHION

Best dressed:

THE MOMS WIN!

Christina Aguilera: Baby Bump...mum is still the word...or should I say mom is still the word

Her silk white, black bowed dress was cute

Ali Larter (non-mom): Rocking Red

Marcia Cross: White Hot Mamma

Heidi Kum: Burguny Dior, fab

Little Sparkle-Show Stopper Eva (non-mom) even though her heels did not match the dress!

EMMY FASHION Worst

2007-09-17T07:49:00.000-07:00

Some of those appauled for their fashion choices at the Emmys...seemed more like fashion flops...

My choices-Worst Dressed

Hayden Pantierre: A circus tent does not count as a gown

Julia-Louis Dreyfuss: Satin is not flattering on a tummy

Eva Longoria: Closed-toed heels? What?

Jamie Lynn Siegler: Bad Beige Prom Dress

Jamie Pressly: Ugly Black Wings...does not a dress make

Debra Messing: Recycled a past awards show dress...not original

Edie Falco: Cute hair, ugly dress

WORST OF NIGHT: TIE

Portia de Rossi ....a diamond snake was holding up her gown

and poor, comely Jenna Fischer wore her mom's drapes!

2007-09-11T12:02:00.000-07:00

Spears Storm...

I don't even need to begin to describe the uproar caused by

the former Mrs. Federline at the VMA awards

Was she ill-prepared?

Yes!

Lip-Synching, poor dancing, grinding in a toot-tight outfit...

it was all much too much

But why are people so intrigued with a Southern girl who

became famous in her teens for mediocre singing...she

was not super-gorgeous (Halle Berry), a super singer (Celine Dion),

super svelete (Nicole Richie), super special or especially anything..so why does

she get so much attention/fame/press??

Perhaps because at one time she represented youthful innocence, purity, pretty

She's addictive and entertaining because she could make men and women

intrigued at the same time, both captivated by her vague charm and undefinable "it" factor

She's an icon of sex, sultry and sweet...

Lovely in Lace

2007-09-05T09:47:00.000-07:00

Eva, a desperate housewife for real, now that she's gotten married stepped out in a body-hugging lace dress with red bow

Cute!

Kelly Ripa-Aholic

2007-08-27T17:38:00.000-07:00

I have a celeb idol...Mrs. Kelly Ripa...she's a mom of 3, still has a rocking body-so good it would make many a 20 year old jealous, she's witty,has to tolerate Regis on a daily basis, is self-deprecating and never ever makes a fashion fumble...give this girl an Oscar, Emmy, and heck! the Noble Peace Prize

love this satin pink super sung dress...never will it be out-of-style...classic and timeless

Find a similar style at Bluefly.com

GLITTER? do or don't

2007-08-27T17:21:00.000-07:00

Glitter can be difficult to pull off...@ the Teen Choice Awards "Hannah Montana" AKA Miley Cyrus dared to do a fully flashy dress

Shimmer is not always figure friendly and it can call attention

to you like a bad chemical peel

Maybe we should trust Mariah and avoid Glitter at all costs??

DREAM SHOES

2007-08-09T10:23:00.000-07:00

I'm going to try and regularly post a pair a shoes that make my loins ache with envy, greed and lust

Zanotti, Zappos.com, $653.95

2007-08-09T10:18:00.000-07:00

Dunst: A DO or DON'T??

Kirsten Dunst always seems to strike a fashion

chord...she wears unusual bohemian eccentric

slightly offbeat styles with an edge...

she could be a rocker groupie one day and

a Liz Hurley fashion glamazon the next...

Does Dunst pull it off?

Wide Legged Pants!

2007-08-07T07:13:00.000-07:00

Wide Legged Pants, a trend popular before I was born, are back in style: high waisted or just wonderfully wide seems to rule with Jessica Biel, Rachel Blison, and Katie Holmes as they've all been spotted wearing the MC Hammer

Ali Larter recently showed up in Calvin Klein wide legged pants in Malibu and caused a fashion cyclone

MY Q: Classsy or Clowny?

Recently seen on Mishca, Victoria, Sienna... and Miss Alba

are they here to stay?

Shoe Closet Secret

2007-07-30T15:55:00.000-07:00

Vic Becks is my idol

She's witty, fashionable and I can't say enough about her

She never seems to make a fashion folly

And for that she belongs in the FHOF

(fashion hall of fame)

Her recent appearance at the party thrown in her honor by the

Cruise-Holmes and Pinkett-Smiths

launched a horrible search for her shoes...pointy wedged black strapped "trade-in-your-children" worthy shoes...

love the Becks, hate the envy!

Leggings: Fad or F-ever?

2007-07-17T15:10:00.000-07:00

Do I have the bravado for leggings?

They're not figure-friendly but paired with cute heels, a funky belt, maybe

an oversized sweater top and PRESTO!

Fashion-Fun and they're super comfy...

maybe leggings are back for good

Fad or 4-ever?

The Return of Plaid

2007-07-16T13:32:00.000-07:00

Plaid has returned with vengence...

Many shoes and bangles are bringing

this geek-chic back to life

Plaid couldn't look more NOW...it's

colorful, a fun print to pair with summertime

white and it screams cute

Urkel was way ahead of his time

Mellow Yellow

2007-07-14T09:21:00.000-07:00

Reese Witherspoon seemed to start a

yellow obsession for Hollywood types when

she wore she stunning red peep toes w/a bow

and her gorgeous bustier yellow dress to the G. Globes

She was sunny, bright and beautiful

Now, yellow is everywhere:

bags, dresses, jewelry and shoes...

I've always loved the romantic nature of a long locket. They're so mysterious...what's inside? They can keep secret pics of lovers current or gone and they're worn close to the heart. I savor the look of a locket; it's elegant, understated and displays a sense of sentimentality.

Long Live Lockets!

Tacky T-shirts?

2007-07-13T06:37:00.000-07:00

"Team Aniston" and "Team Pitt" shirts were big sellers at the famous fashion botique in L.A. @ Kitson, but I doubt you'd catch Brad or Jen wearing them...

http://www.shopkitson.com/

Cut to Paris Post-Prison and she's wearing her own mug on her T-shirt, now that's self promotion

Daily Stylizish Poll:

Trashy or Classy?

Mischa Makes me Green w/Envy...

2007-07-13T06:33:00.000-07:00

Sienna Miller has nothing on Mishca Barton; she's an adorable 21st century Barbie...she's hip, modern and does not compromise her look for any would-be fashion dictators

She's her own woman...whether wearing a punk rock t-shirt, a flowy bubble metallic dress or yes, even high waisted jeans, she's beautiful and effortless

More Mischa!

2007-07-12T09:16:00.000-07:00

POLL:
Lucite: Lust or Bust
I love lucite wedges, rings, and bags...they're clear, chunky and match everything!

The trend seemed to start this summer with bold lucite bangles and the adorable Nine West lucite peep toes...

FAD OR FOREVER?

VIC BECKS is here!

She's one of the world's most fashionable icons...an irresistible mix of sex, sass and sultry; she's invading the U.S. And her reality TV show...undoubtedly showing her daily life (starving, shopping, shopping, starving, repeat) on NBC will be a hit with fans and those unfamiliar with VB. Her family is moving from "Beckingham Palace" onto American soil. She is a fashion force for her bravado (high heel athletic shoes @ a Dodgers game?!) her curt trademark "I'm too good for you" look and her frail frame which is adorned in the latest skin-tight dresses, bustiers and belts

She never fails to add "Spice" to her wardrobe

God Bless America and Posh!
