Hot Legs… Pantyhose makes a comeback!

Hosiery Alert: Pantyhose is back in fashion! Hot Legs- Pantyhose makes a comeback! The Pantyhose Portfolio…Expand your style sense with the hottest hosiery The right to bare legs has become one hot debate for the past number of years with three sides up the middle on when to wear pantyhose or not. There are those tanned and toned creatures of perfection who cannot wait for the chance to show off some hot looking legs. Then, the old school mamas who would rather kiss their soccer mom lipgloss away than go without pantyhose, and some rightly so! And then there are the rest of us who fall in the middle: You get fatigued working that fake tan and what about those

Work out in a Balenciaga dress, why not?

Fit Flops - New Styles - The Exercise Gladiator Sandal beats cellulite. FitFlop sandals get the fashion touch. When it comes to body-bettering toning claims— 'nuff said, I'm your girl guinea pig. Last summer getting your feet into the limited supply FitFlop, "the sandal with the built in gym" was about as impossible as coming upon an authentic Birkin at a yard sale— there's a chance but slim it is. Slim is exactly why these souped-up flip-flops sold out upon introduction in the U.K. and then stateside faster than the running of the running of the brides. Created by Bliss Spa founder Marcia Kilgore and a well-titled biomechanist, the FitFlop is designed with a patent pending microwobbleboard technology that promises

Oscar fashion…

Tasteful and elegant style Oscar Fashion 2008- Celebrity red carpet fashion - style inspirations. Good things come in threes and it was definitely the year of the red dress, bare shoulder, and baby bump. Although everyone looked tastefully fantastic and thankfully there was a whisper of personal style, there really weren't many obvious standouts when it came to Oscar fashion at the 80th Academy Awards. Anne Hathaway, stunning in a rich red Marchesa gown with a dramatic rosette sash which she described as a "diaphanous sheath" that spotlighted her luminous pale skin. Jessica Alba in a Marchesa grape strapless baby bump covering chiffon sheath with a spray of feathers across the bodice. Heidi Klum in a very dramatic, portrait collar,

Now, Welcome to my annual merry-go-round of fashion follies-the Worst-Dressed Women List. This past year stands out as one of the most disastrous fashion years in recent memory-as well as being a particularly eye-popping moment in Tinsel-Town where several worst-dressed repeat offenders suffered collective meltdowns. There more melodrama surrounding the Spears clan, Lindsay, Paris and a host of other style-challenged starlets than a double feature

Say Chic…

Paris fashion designer exhibitions: YSL, Chanel, Lacroix Say Chic - Paris fashion designer exhibitions - YSL, Chanel, Lacroix - Style Thing! C'est trés bon! Nothing beats discovering an extra dash of unexpected style while walking the streets of Paris. Not one to typically write-up exhibitions that are limited to one area rather than Internet-wide, but it's hard to pass on these haute couture perpetuators of French chic in a city where fashion is not simply something to wear, but an art form. On my way from a casual lunch with BF's, art director and artist Vincent and Paris concierge Richard, we literally stumbled upon a fantastic exhibition in the Marais in celebration of the 30th anniversary for the Yves St.

Diana Style…

The allure of the People's Princess Diana Style by Colin McDowell; Forward by Manolo Blahnik. Princess Diana's Style - her life as a fashion icon.A decade later: Diana's style evolution from frumpy to fashionable to fantastic! I cried when I heard Diana, Princess of Wales died. I don't really understand why. Even when photographed in one of those ghastly hat horrors that we have come to accept as de rigueur for British royalty there was always something so compelling, so visceral, so natural about the Princess of Wales that you absolutely could not resist taking your eyes off her. And when she did get the royal boot and or fell mercy to the public humiliation of her fair prince reportedly

Divalicious Fashion Advice with a Twang…

Ask a Gay Man Divalicious Fashion Advice with a Twang. Ask a Gay Man fashion videos by William Sledd on YouTube. William Sledd was probably playing with Pound Puppies (oh, is that a Versace dog collar?!) when I was starting out as a stylist. And almost from the get go of my style career, fabulousness all aside, I felt that fashion really wasn't connecting to the everyday person as frankly as it could. That's why I started my syndicated fashion advice column and then, eventually this web site, but you should know my pedigree by now and my need to keep it real. Only yesterday, I was glancing at a fairly mass-appeal ‘fashion' column which offered some double duh, lightbulb-popping

Princess for a day…

Make it a Disney wedding gown Disney launches a collection of Disney Princess-inspired wedding gowns. The designer bridal line is officially called Kirstie Kelly for Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings Collection where every wedding dress is inspired by a Disney princess. Frankly, I'm still trying to get over my last Disney experience taking in hoards of Theme Park visitors of all shapes and sizes wearing the warm (and not so warm) weather tourist uniform of unflattering short shorts, white boxy sneakers, and white athletic socks. I wish had a magic makeover wand to turn each and every waddling pair of pull-on shorts into a becoming, comfy and casual summer outfit— that would be magic! I also have to admit that I

Frankly, I find the old days of anticipating what kooky outfit Cher will wear and who made a fashion blunder far more thrilling than the stylist cleansing of any major fashion faux pas.True to new fangled form, there weren't any big time fashion disasters at the79th Academy Awards. There were simply some dresses that one just wouldn't care for. Every event seems to need a fashion scapegoat
