Resident Hills bad-girl, Kristin Cavallari makes being a b-i-t-c-* look tres chic.. sexy, edgy, with a touch of goth circus mixed in... who would have thought, being bad could look oh-so-good...
Short-and-Sweet: Fashion Magazine's September cover girl, Ashley Olsen, bring readers a sense of 2010's Fall fashion inspiration in furry accents, old-fashioned glamour gloves adorned with excessive jewels, sweet and chic mule pumps, knitted knee-high stockings -- all tied up in elegant hair chignons and disheveled and untamed tresses...
Shades of rich rasberry hues, grizzly browns, mauve pinks, cremes, and mustard yellows bring us into the fall season... scrumptious, don't you think?
Who better to have the option of duo alternate covers for Marie Claire's September issue than the dynamically fashionably bold Mary-Kate herself?
One fashion icon, two diverse looks for each cover. While some readers would choose the ocean blue bohemian glam cover, others could choose to snag the cover featuring Mary-Kate in a city chic fall infused look in our latest color obsession: olive green. Either way, both covers are simply delectable.
Brace yourselves... UK's Vogue September Issue BIBLE, featuring Kate Moss as the cover girl in nothing but a perfectly tailored, accented collar trench (the Brits signature look) and ankle booties... an icon for years, yet still fresh as ever...
Take Us Into the Night
Fall season or not, stars are still unwilling to let go of hot, summer whites... whether in the form of: sequined bustiers, open-back glitzy numbers, or draped shoulder accents with a romantic touch... enough said, we're loving whites and cremes, and they're here to stay season in or season out...
Vampire Diaries star, Nina Dobrev, was the best standout at the Teen Choice Awards this year.. I love the soft, neutral palette with a touch of dove lavender in this sequined bustier frock.. and the higher the sky-high platforms, the better!
Of course we all know, a bustier and corseted piece instantly accents the body's flattering form, but the piping and lining in this dress, along with the strategically set sequin pattern adds to the dress's flattering effect. And here you thought the sequins were simply there just to sparkle, everything has a purpose!
Mad Men star, January Jones freshened up her take on the modern flapper in this white hot frock. What saved this dress from becoming just another average white number? The amazing, jaw-drop worthy cross-back drape...
One objection I have? Braided corn-rows up'do? Really?? It may look fine from the front, but I'm most definitely not enjoying the sight of the unpleasant side view of the hair do'. Leave the corn rows to Snoop Dogg, I would have much rather preferred a simple and elegant french twist..
Audrina Patridge: A recently frequented look by the stars are dresses that have a tulip cut neckline with a fluffy geometrical accent on the bottom hem... last I could recall I saw this type of dress was in my previous post with Kristin Cavallari receiving her Style Icon award in a red number that featured a floral bottom hem and a tulip cut neckline.
I'm loving this feminine, elegant, yet sexy and flattering cut seen on young stars...
As per a man friend's request (K. Dunn), I promised I would feature the apple of his eye, Olivia Munn in this blog. I love how the guy's favorite tomboy freshened up her look with a romantic vibe, pairing feminine and whimsical top with a modernized embellished skirt and nude pumps.
If I could say, this look was an attempt to mix-and-match, I wasn't too fond of the top and skirt pairing, it seemed like an edgy attempt that did not translate so well. It's matchy-matchy yet not funky mis-matched right...
The Fix: I would have either kept it clean with a pair of black skinny jeggings or done the mis-matched attempt right with a form fitting leather skirt to contrast the feminine top with a soft rock-n-roll feel...
Jessica Biel at an overseas premiere for her film, A-Team. I love the over-exaggeration of the one-shouldered sleeve in a creme and black color block. It gives a touch of french elegance and almost reminds me of wedding cake frosting!
However, only peeve I have is, the awkward overflow of scrunched fabric over the waistline, due to the black belted sash. I'd much rather see a bold touch added to this latte froth inspired dress. A thicker black studded belt or even a velvet black sash with cut-out designs would solve the odd fabric overflow problem while adding some edge to the look...
Carrie Bradshaw in the flesh.. Sarah Jessica Parker looks remarkably chic in her Stella McCartney get-up! I love the ruffle hem of the buttery soft camel toned blazer paired with a dark heather gray jersey knit dress... pairing the look with onyx black and green jewels and a metallic clutch adds a touch of flare and youth to her overall look...
Color-Me-Bright
My 2nd favorite look at the Teen Choice Awards goes to Glee star, Lea Michele in this tastefully cute and sexy sequined dress, perfect for a summer touch. Green paired with nude never looked so good. The body conscious dress is beyond flattering for the sun-tanned star. Once again, I give the credit for the body flattering effect to the strategically designed sequin accents that perfectly cut across the side to front of the body, creating a slimming effect to her waistline. And the nude wedges? To die for!
Initially, I wasn't very fond of this dress on Kristen Bell. However, the more I looked at it, the more I found it intriguing and noteworthy. Sure, I'm not a fan of the borderline rusty red shade, I wish it was more of a lipstick red, the tone of this dress makes me cringe to say the least.. Another peeve, the dress would be a better cut for her if the armholes dropped lower rather than being placed too high. This makes broad shoulders look brawny and makes the chest look bulky.
Negatives aside, I love the mesh peplum overlay around the waist, with a peek-a-boo effect of the nude mesh underlay's applique decor.
Newly wed, Hilary Duff, simply beamed and glowed at the Teen Choice Awards with now husband, Mike Crombie. Althought I'm far over the Herve Leger bandage dress, Hilary looked absolutely gorgeous in this flattering seaside turquoise color matched with nude platform pumps. I love how she kept her hair simple in a messy bun and added a tad of rocky edge to her look with multi-toned chunky chain necklaces.
Into the Night: Black and Blue
Newest Gossip Girl member, Katie Cassidy, plays Nate's newest love interest.. This flowy blue water inspired gown takes my breath away. I love her simply put together ponytail worn low.. and the accessories? Perfectly suitable to go along with the amazing gown...
Blake Lively looks young and fresh in this adorable piece. I'm loving the funky contrast of patterns and the perfectly proportioned bottom hem of the dress makes it flirty and flattering for her to flash her gorgeous stems in..
I'm loving Cheryl Cole in this blue dress, it has just the right about of sheen to make the fabric look luxurious and rich. With such an adorably flirty cut, it looks amazing paired with a pair of black open-toe heels to add just enough edge to the look...
Maggie Q meshes all sorts of hot features with this little black dress! Tulip neckline, zip-up and a low cut-out back.. way to do black simple yet sexy..
Now, the moment we set our sights on Julia Roberts, we can all agree the famous Pretty Woman melodic beat instantly rings in our ears... Julia's back on the silver screen in her highly anticipated film, "Eat, Pray, Love."
I love how age appropriate she looks, she keeps things conservative but takes an unexpected turn with her short mini, allowing her to flash her famous stems in hot heels. To contrast her overwhelming amount of darkness, she adds royal blue and gold accessories, giving her an understated bohemian luxe fresh touch to her otherwise conservative, yet sexy, look..
I'm leaving one of my favorite night looks for the last... a look I would absolutely wear.. A dark, bronze gold shimmery frock with elegantly futuristic capsleeves belted with a beautiful gold double strap belt. And to further add some cool appeal, celebrity stylist, Louise Roe does it right with her blinged out black peep-toe booties. She keeps the look simple by keeping her rich cocoa brown hair wavy and tousled and keeps her jewelry down to a minimum. Loveeee!
Summer Days
Gossip Girl star, Leighton Meester does casual cool justice while walking the streets of New York between filming. She pairs her fall favorite, skinny olive cargos (her look has an effortless cool look with a slouchier fit) with a model-wear worthy button soft, buttery button-down shirt, a black quilted chain strap handbag, and her plum lace-up chunky heels.
Jessica Alba looked New York-tastic while shopping out in the city... I'm usually not a fan of A-line skirts, they just seem to matronly for me, but she manages to make this light denim A-line skirt work by keeping her top casual with a simple gray tank. I like how she keeps it simple with her edgy accessories and simple woven belt. She adds a break to the color contrast with a few sprinkles of black here and there with her slouchy hobo handbag and black cut-out woven wedge sandals..
Leighton Meester does a great job dressing casual chic with a pop of color on her days off. I like the touch of bright cobalt blue / violet in her shorts and fringe booties. Pairing it with a heather gray cropped dolman top risks hitting the fluff-factor, yet amazingly, this risk taker pulls it off and does the look right...
Sandra Bullock's back... and ready for a good laugh... She looks better and better over the years, and I love how she dressed for the occasion, the Teen Choice Awards, looking anything but motherly with a rock-n-roll feel in a gray off-the-shoulder shirt, leather skinny trousers, sexy heels, steel gray chained accessories, and bright red polish. New Sandra, New Look... and I think she should stick to it!
P.S.: How cute is she dancing to "Get Low" with her Proposal costar Betty White?
