Christina Aguilera’s Cute Ballet Flats Dress Up Looking Dressed Down

I'll Have What She's Having: Glammed up everyday style You can almost never go wrong with a pair of ballet flats- whether as a collapsible stowaway to you skyscraper heels or donning a pair as the #1 way to look like a chic Parisianista Case in point: Christina Aguilera. There's always a special place in my heart for seeing celebrities who are otherwise known for their over-the-top stage looks caught looking very, well, normal and chic. Christina Aguilera arrived at her SoHo hotel the other day wearing the most basic of dressed down, everyday outfits: jeans, T-Shirt, and a hoodie. It's the way that she put the basics together to look polished and glam that caught my eye and you

Sienna Miller Rocks a Romper But Can You, Here’s How

Rompers are right on for summer, but a it's trend that's right for just a few unless you MODIFY the look Sienna Miller made the cover of the New York Post wearing a cute summer romper but pulling it off is not as easy as it looks. I have a sneaking feeling that with all the press Sienna Miller is getting today that she inadvertently put her style icon stamp of approval on rompers. Yes, rompers are on trend. Yes, Sienna is the poster girl for BoHo chic. And, yes I have seen more than a few women who passed go on looking like a fashion victim when wearing this super short and girly fashion trend. Sienna Miller makes the

Madonna for Dolce Gabbana MDG Collection Sunglasses are a celebrity collab that you would want to wear

Madonna glams up a natural look with some MDG Collection sunglasses > SHOP DESIGNER SUNGLASSES The woman knows how to transform the most basic concepts and weave them into something magical and distinctive. Take for instance, going bare-faced when walking with her son. A well-cut coat, a distinctive scarf, a good bag, and some fierce sunglasses to cover up the no makeup look take her from schleppy mommy to chic mommy in a flash. Madonna in the MDG campaign Oh, those sunglasses? They are from the MDG Collection, that's Madonna for Dolce & Gabbana. The MDG collection consists of six different styles of sunglasses from sexy on-trend cat eyes, hyper modern wraparounds to squared off metals. You know nothing would

Jennifer Lopez Jewelry At Its Best with a statement making bib necklace

Lanvin & Lopez are a fashion force to be reckoned with! I'll Have What She's Having: Jennifer Lopez's "Back Up Plan" includes a pretty fierce necklace that would look so amazing on YOU! Maybe it's her New York City roots, maybe it's just her keen sense of style but La Lopez is the rare celebrity who is about real ‘fashion' rather than some formulated, prefab stylist enabled marketing pitch packaged up to sell, sell, sell on the red carpet. And, that's what I love about Jennifer Lopez, besides making a big booty fashionable. I'm also pretty enamored with the Lanvin Spring 2010 collection but you know that from my cooing over Zoe Saldana's dress. So when you put Lopez in

How to Look Chic, Not Cheap. Paris Hilton in a Hot Pink Bikini OR When Paris Isn’t Always Chic

Two blondes, two Chanel classic flap bags, two red carpets, two cities... what in carnation went wrong?! Cardinal Fashion Rule #1: Just because you are wearing expensive things does not mean that you cannot look cheap I am the first to admit that we kinda love Paris Hilton for being the modern day Charo when it comes to hoochie-coochie styleŚ someone needs to be kooky colorful on the red carpet and it may as well be her. But as a fashion plate? Not so much. For all you label queens out there, sorry to report that looking chic is not always in the bag, no matter how luxurious that handbag may be. Marie-Josee Croze in Paris looks stunning and chic

How To Opt Out of Catalog Junk Mail with Catalog Choice

Zoe Saldana ‘s Lanvin dress in a burst of color is our newest love

Explosion of color with all the right details make for super chic style We've really been taking note of Zoe Saldana's style since she went the way of true fashion rather than predicable red carpet route with her Givenchy Haute Couture lilac gown at this year's Oscars. Alber Elbaz has always been a name on our short list of lifetime personal favorites for his feminine and sophisticated take on clothing that women actually want to wear because of the flattering grace of his designs. As the Creative Director of Lanvin, we see nothing but possibilities that we would love to have fill our closets. LANVIN - Off-the-shoulder dress at farfetch There's been a bit of obsessing around here since we

RuPaul is America’s Sweetest Drag Queen and Still Prettier Than You

"Workin' It! RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style," honey, SHE has got it going on! Read it, turn to the left Read it, now turn to the right Read it, sashay shante I have one thing to say... you better read it, bitch! RuPaul is on my mind quite a bit. Not because of his television show, “RuPaul's Drag Race, “ or because I seem to always have the ending lyrics to Supermodel (You Better Work) stuck in my head every time deadlines get heavy. RuPaul is on my mind for another reason—it's because I cannot believe how many female reality TV stars look like a family of drag queens! It's impossible to count how many

Prettypretty Chairs are pretty wiggy

Hair chairs for your kookiest indulgences If you have more wigs than Dolly Parton has gone through in a lifetime, you might just start to want to look at them as potential art rather than pile of beauty roadkill. I love to look at the obvious and see it in so many different and unique ways that nothing is ever expected, whether it be art or the way are inspired by the ordinary to make to extraordinary. PRETTYPRETTY Anna Pouf Furniture designer Dejana Kabiljo of the Viennese design brand, Kabiljo Inc. sees and designs “objects for all of us with little fetishes, bad habits and compulsive actions.” The materials are carefully researched and subdued to a series of experimental processes

Light-Up Jimmy Choo Zap Sandals brighten your nights

They will see you coming & going in these too fabulous sandals that light up with every step! It's funny but I was secretly thrilled when my then kindergarten age son didn't have an ongoing yen for those light-up sneakers. I understood the practicality of a child wearing shoes with flashing lights at night, but the novelty of all that blinking drove me nuts. I have a similar love / hate with what is proving to be one of the most talked about shoes for Spring, the Jimmy Choo Zap Light-Up Platform Sandals. Jimmy Choo Light Up Platform Sandals Think of it as Studio 54 at your feet. Instead of dancing under the infamous neon moon and spoon, the Jimmy
