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

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

Hey Hipster Guys Mjolk Is A Men’s Style Line For You

Men's style gets a bit preppy and playfully boyish with all the right touches... Yes, yes, my morning giggle is from Naveed's description of the ubiquitous NYC "hipster" male with his studied unkempt look and style-by-numbers geek clique uniform. If that's you, please try something unexpected and shave once in a while, why don't you?! Have a read as a little style inspiration can take you a very long way. --S.H.

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

We Heart Sarah Jessica Parker’s Pendant Necklace

Size does matter when it comes to SJP's jewelry choice! Sarah Jessica Parker stepped out last night for her Bravo's "Work of Art: The Next Great Artist" reality TV show and we think her choice of jewelry was a work of art! While SJP's "major" heart pendant-- on a very chunky chain-- was almost old school rapper huge, it's rough-hewn, hammered texture and antique finish tone it down to be modern and chic. Citrine by the Stones Dulce Amor Necklace doubles as a belt! A largish, statement-making pendant necklace works so well with spring to summer fashion and is a perfect pairing for drapey tops or simple T-shirts. One is all you need when wearing something this large, do be

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
