Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry Do Share a Striking Resemblance

Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry They're the spitting image of each other, but thankfully in a very GOOD way! Usually those separated at birth coincidences are pretty darn howlingly funny. But here's one where it's two pretty ladies each with very distinctive personal style... unlike the orange Jersey clones. I never really thought of it, but thanks to UnrealityMag, for spotting Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry in the same shot, and circumventing any possible confusion other than they both have huge blue eyes and a penchant for prints. photo via unrealitymag

Wearable Art For Your Feet by Japanese Shoe Designer Tetsuya Uenobe

In Their Words: An interview with the man who sees an animal on every shoe Back in my early club days one of my most coveted pair of shoes was a pair of Tokio Kumagai black suede pumps with funny, little whiskers jutting out all over. At a time when Japanese designers like Rei Kawakubo for Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto were the must-have uniform for the downtown art set, Tokio Kumagai designs-- particularly the shoes-- were right in step. Often extraordinary and whimsical, the shoes shared the Japanese minimalist fashion aesthetic of the time that still looks modern. The most iconic being most a pair of mouse flats long before Marc Jacobs turned a rodent into a chic

Wear Socks With Heels, YES You Can Pull It Off

No, You will not look like the tourist in the hiking sandals, promise! You can thank Prada for pushing the heels worn with socks trend, but you can more thank the stylistic street set for making this look right! There is always the intrinsic fear that if you don't have the knack, you can end of looking like an out of place tourist in a big city wearing a pair of comfort sandals and tube socks... the fashionless and don't give a damn on vacation set. However if you pull this trend off, you can look very chic, comfy, and even a bit cheeky. The key is to pair an otherwise fabulous pair of shoes with socks that are just

Do you want to look like you’re from New Jersey, here’s a start

I know that's a loaded question... In all honesty, when the email pitch came in, I thought I was looking at a photo of Snooki. Turns out the fake-baked, jett-haired Guidolina is not Snooki from the "Jersey Shore" but Olivia Bois Sharpe from "Jerseylicious". Just like I can barely tell over-tanned, over-boobed, over-botoxed, bleached blondes apart, the same holds true for their East Coast brunette clones... they all look the same to me! Ladies, the more you over do it, the more you look alike. Throw individuality out the window, there seems to be a new stupid trend, Cliché Chic! The state that used to be the butt of bad-driving jokes is now being thrashed about as a style innovator. Ok,

Vintage Chic Street Style- Make It Personal

You don't need an oversized budget to have style, just some imagination. Hometown Style NYC: You don't need an oversized budget to have style, just some imagination. I spotted Jocelyn Spaar when she was on the job as a restaurant host and thought she looked so absolutely adorable that I had to share her style with you. Jocelyn Spaar So many women-- particularly ones in their twenties-- get caught up in a trend-by-numbers way of dressing. They have to have every conceivable trendy style because a celebrity wore it or all their friends have it and in the process they end up looking exactly the same... boring. Here, we have someone who totally thinks out of the fashion box when

Happy Trails, The Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum Collection is up for auction at Christies

Giddy up to iconic western style like no other or be inspired for your own Home on the Range Here's a little tidbit that most of you don't know, I may be a native NYC girl with a post-modern loft that has minimalist sculptural designs but when it was time to redecorate our vacation place in Wyoming, my design motivation was a homage to iconic western legends, Dale Evans and Roy Rogers! >>RELATED: Get your giddyup on with more Cowboy style posts! When it comes to design, of any kind, you need some inspiration as a launch point- whether it is your wardrobe or your home. Most old school western style is very tan and bland for me and the more

Cool Kids Clothing From AllSaints For Your Fashion Angels

Forget the pastels, mama wants children's clothing with edge! Mini Me Delight... As soon as I walked into the new store in SoHo, the downtown NYC the city mom in me fell completely in love with the most adorable, on trend, and cool kids clothing that were on display at the British AllSaints Spitalfield store. It was a total mini me mecca of the hippest (and not insanely expensive) kids clothes that I've seen in a long time-- from a rugged motorcycle jacket, to architecturally gathered dresses, ruffed up lace-up boots, skull T-shirts that don't look juvenile or Jersey Shore, and knits with the AllSaints signature asymetric cut-- just everything that a kid with downtown style would want to wear!

GStyle Google Fashion Secret Is About To Be Revealed

You heard it here and will more than want to thank me (I hope)! At this point the information for the impeding GStyle launch is rather cryptic but this what I was able to get Tony Wang, the fashion blogger behind postfashionism.com, man behind Youtube special projects, and the program lead of Google's fashion venture to reveal. "The only information we can really make public is that this program's ultimate goal is to help increase interactions between fashion and technology by driving innovation and services geared towards helping bloggers, fashion experts, and designers. The program is still relatively under wraps, so that's about all the public is allowed to know. Anyone who wants to get more details has to @reply

Fashion Downsizing with Six Items or Less is the Antidote to Haul Videos

When less really is more, the new anti-consumerism site can spark fashion creativity I have to admit that I find the shopping haul video trend rather disquieting. Even though I am in fashion business and have overstuffed closets, its jarring for me to watch a video of someone sitting in front of her computer and gushing over her latest shopaholic purchase of the day, whether it be a glossy new lipstick or a cute top. In a time of economic restraint for most, it's fascinating to me as to how there are hoards of fashionistas obsessed in the gorging of the latest fast-fashion cheapie trend rather than understanding that style is the amalgamation of the sum of its parts and

Cynthia Rowley Designer Diapers are the Posh Pampers

Cynthia Rowley designed Diapers for Pampers Road to style can be spotty... Another mom note from today that even the Material Girl can't top. I'm totally mixed on this one. Cynthia Rowley has designed 11 styles of Pampers, including pastels, stripes, madras and ruffles. On one hand, sure why shouldn't diapers be cute? On the other hand, what about my pet peeve with all those moms, dads, and nannies who let the kid run around with a full load. Gross as that is, a pretty diaper is another excuse to look, sniff the other way. >> SHOP for some Diaper Bags just as cute as the designer diapies They'll be offered in Target Corp. stores beginning in mid-July Ok, moms...

Madonna the Mommy Talks on Video About Her Material Girl Clothing Line With Lordes

Madonna's Material Girl Collection with Lordes Last week we announced that Madonna's Material Girl Collection is the ultimate Mommy and Me clothing line. Now we have a video of Madonna the Mom talking about what it's like to have a very stylish child. Her concerns and proud mom moments sound pretty much the same as most parents who live in an urban environment and happen to have a rather sophisticated kid-- it's rather cute and endearing. Material Girl clothing launches at Macy's on August 3 and Madonna talks about hoping to get a Material Girl float for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I was hoping to get a pass to the bleachers the year that I had my TV commercial

Red carpet hairstyle tips: Easy, breezy hair is the perfect compliment to a done-up cocktail dress I love Kristen Stewart's modernity when it comes to her edgy individual style! It all about the contrasts that makes this red carpet look personal... The embellished white dress that she wore to the "Twilight Eclipse" premiere in Los Angeles could get a bit heavy (read: old) with fussy hair. A heavy dress and overly done hair is an instant way to add unwanted years to your appearance, even if you are are a starlet! Instead of a pairing the ornately embellished Elie Saab dress with a super coiffed hairstyle for the red carpet, Kristen sported a more casual, easy breezy ageless updo that
