Cameron Diaz Knows How To Wear Shorts With Heels To Look City Chic and Stylish

I'll Have What She's Having: Tailored short shorts, high heels, and the right kind of attitude to pull it off Total Disclaimer: It's almost no secret that MOST of the time, I cringe when I see woman on the street wearing shorts-- particularly in the city. They either are wearing something overtly girly like a kiddy romper when they are well over a certain age, or half-naked as if they are about to change their profession and take to the nearest street corner. Cameron Diaz tailored short shorts and high heels worn right! Not to mention, those with the figures that should really consider a skirt or something a bit longer and more appropriate for the city. Just because it's

I'll Have What She's Having: Easy, breezy summer animal prints that don't wear you I've always been a fan of wearing animal prints, be it leopard, chetah, zebra, or some amalgamated whozeewhat animal pattern. The thing is that when wearing something as bold, and often daring, as an animal print, if you don't style it correctly, you can look like the crazy cat lady rather than exotically chic. >> SHOP: Animal Prints We all know that Sarah Jessica Parker can be a risk-taker when it comes to her style and Dolce & Gabbana is known for their signature leopard prints. Put the two together, and here you have a very stunning, surprisingly simple and elgant take on walking on the

Viva Designer Espadrilles, the on trend summer shoe, be it designer or classic

I almost feel that its an oxymoron to say that espadrilles are right on trend this summer Nothing says bring on the warm weather more than a pair of espadrilles! Espadrilles have got to be one of those summer classics that you can never go wrong with and are always super comfy and add an instant Euro beachy feel to whatever you are wearing. Dating back to the Pyrenees at about the 14th century, the cotton canvas espadrille is also one of the most accessible off the runway trends this season and instantly adds a certain je nais se quois to casual clothes. >>READ: Authentic espadrilles, handmade & forever stylish. Plus, a little history too! It's the shoe that you want

One for the Brits, but the First Lady makes up for it later! Sorry folks, but I have to give this one to the other team. I'm afraid to say that Mrs. Obama's dainty print, retro full skirt Barbara Tfank dress reminds me of another First Lady, Mamie Eisenhower, and, in my opinion, is not flattering to this First Lady's statuesque frame. But then there's the clean chic style that Michelle Obama hallmarked, this time worn by Kate Middleton. After the satorial success of her wearing a Reiss dress for when her engagement was announced, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge selected another Reiss dress to meet President and Mrs. Obama at Buckingham Palace on the first day of the President and

Gwen Stefani Knows How To Wear a Bow and Make It Edgy, Well Armani Helps

I'll Have What She's Having: Two Big Bows and NOT look like you escaped from a prom! Ok, I must confess, bows on grown-up women can really wreck my style nerves. It's not that I don't like a good bow here and there, it's that many women have a tendency to make them look too sweet and juvenile and end up looking ridiculous. But when worn right, a few well-placed bows on a dress can look positively stunning. Case in point: The Giorgio Armani white and black gown that Gwen Stefani worn on the red carpet for the premiere of Paolo Sorrentino's "This Must Be the Place," at the Cannes Film Festival. >> READ MORE: Armani brand Granted, it's an

Milla Jovovich Knows How to Wear Beige With a Pop of Color and Major Bling

I'll Have What She's Having: Vibrant red & some Jacob & Co. bling Beige, nude, taupe, and all those "new neutrals" are hotter than hot this season, but let's face it, they can wash you out. Runway after runway, model after model-- particularly at New York Fashion Week- all worked the Spring / Summer beige trend. But to be honest, after the third day of shows, it all morphed into one big beige blob for me. Close-up of Mila's bling from the Jacob & Co. Red Carpet Collection While beiges can be very soft and pretty, sometimes a few major accents that play off its neutrality are what it takes to turn a blah to wow. I love Milla Jovovich

Uma Thurman Glams Down and Looks, Well, Normal

I'll Have What She's Having: Even Glamazons Can Look Pretty Regular Sobering note for all those who think models, actresses, celebrities, and other glamazons are 24/7 glamtastic. Here, we have the always beautiful Uma Thurman at Cannes wearing a slinky Roland Mouret purple number on the red carpet one night, and a silvery embellished Cahnel sheath the other. Two different looks, both flawless in her hair and makeup. Uma has turned IT on! Then, we have the daytime Uma. Her vibrant red dress is a stunner but... From glamtastic to realistic! Let's just say that in this photo, a whole lot of time was not spent on hair and makeup. And you know what I think? Uma looks, fantastic! Completely

Professional Beauty Finds- What’s In Your Makeup Artist’s Pro Kit via The Makeup Show

Just like a good recipe, it's all about the ingredients... Of course they are talented & know how to make you look gorge, but it's also about what products the professional makeup artist uses to create that master touch. Brad Boles and I have told you about how many beauty products that we actually toss, before we find the few great things to share with you. I did a pit stop over at The Makeup Show that wrapped in New York yesterday to get some inside dish on what the pros -- you know the folks who have a conniption if you tell them that you double-duty your lipstick as blush-- will be packing in their make up kits to

The Perfect Curvy Figure, Skinny Jeans At, Of All Places, URBAN OUTFITTERS

Simple Perfect Style: Basic & colorful skinny jeans that fit! Who needs a brand to mark their jeans "curvy" when you can find a pair or two or three over at Urban Outfitters that slip right on? We're in love over here. Not for nothin' but we don't mind dropping the bucks on fab style, but when it comes to jeans, we do get our frugal on. The thing is that more times than not, purchasing jeans is more about the fit than the price, so saving money is not quite an option. They hit the rear at the right spot That is, until we stumbled upon BDG Cigarette High-Rise Jeans. They come in an array of colors-- including

Age-Appropriate Dress- Real Women Are Pretty Harsh When It Comes To Fashion Choices

I'll Have What She's Having: Style WITHOUT an expiration date I don't think Jane Fonda (70's), Sigourney Weaver (60's), Madonna (50's), and Demi Moore (40's) got the memo from the British ladies polled who seem to think that 30 is the new 60-- well, sort of-- when it comes to style! These gorgeous at any age celebrity ladies were probably too busy being vital rather than worrying if they are too old to wear stilettos. Yes, the study says that at age 51 you're over the hill for high heels. Can you imagine? Madonna wearing a vintage Roberto Cavalli dress from the Spring/Summer 2008 Collection out and about in NY yesterday. Listen, I'd be the first one to tell you

Alexander McQueen Retrospective Pulls Out All The Fashion Stops

Must See: Enough of the Royals, New York is mad for McQueen! Alexander McQueen must be smiling down on us. Just last week his eponymous label became a household name for non-fashionistas when Kate Middleton walked down the Royal Wedding aisle wearing a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen gown and changed into a second McQueen dress by for the reception. Then there are the rest of who have been mesmerized by the art of his designs that went beyond what is known as fashion and into an extraordinary realm of self-expression and creativity into a conceptual expression of culture, politics, and identity.

Royal Wedding Fashion- Kate's Honeymoon Comfy Wedge Pump Espadrilles Are a Shoe In

Our collective feet are killing us from all the festivities... It certainly was the wedding of this century (so far)! I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted from it all but certainly don't want give up on style. Lanvin espadrille wedge pumps, like Kate's! Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, didn't skip a beat in her polished, skeek "Kate Middleton style," when she left Buckingham Palace the morning after her wedding in some very chic and comfy black patent espadrille pumps. We've tracked the Royal Wedding getaway shoes to a lookalike version of these patent leather Lanvin espadrille wedge pumps. And, we found a similar less pricey, yet equally stylish, version in these Sam Edelman Randall wedges. A classic, yet slightly
