Christian Siriano for Payless Platform Shoes Big Trend at a Cheap Price

You probably won't be living in these shoes but they will make your day (or night) on the few times that you die for them.

We say buy up a

Oscar Dress Red Carpet Review

Fashion's Best, Worst, and Plenty in the Middle on the Academy Awards Red Carpet It's the morning after and which star wore the most memorable Oscar Dress? Truth be told, less is more when it comes to the perfect Oscar dress unless you aim to make a big bold statement on the red carpet. It's unfortunate that so many stylists got the memo on frothy dresses with full skirts and plenty of trains because by the end of the evening it was almost impossible to tell each ‘top of the wedding cake' dress from the next. But I do know that their celebrity inspired knock-offs will be coming to a prom near you. Sandra Bullock >> Don't miss OSCAR Fashion

Disorderly conduct: The new crystals put bling on its edge.

Glitz got roughed up and it looks fabulous When you are looking for a modern detail to update your look, think about a clustered blast of raw, haphazard crystals. The new bling has a gritty, offhanded elegance reminiscent of rock candy or shattered glass. What's modern is not the cheap trick sparkly bling many of us associate with pavé phone cases, cloyingly cute crystal encrusted novelty doodads, or glittering from a too tight T-shirt. Crystals now have an irregularity to them that looks fresh. SHOP: Swavorski Crystallized online “It's interesting, when I think of encrusted crystal, I think of Paris Hilton's Sidekick. It's a frosty crystal that has been so cheapened as it hit the mass market in a huge

Michelle Obama wears the matching coat & dress trend- hers is by Moschino

First Lady looks rather Camelot-ish in Moschino coat & matching dress Michelle Obama is very smart indeed when it comes to her fashion choices. On the anniversary of the Obama's first year in the White House and the day after the Republican gain for Teddy Kennedy's Senate seat, Mrs. Obama chose exactly the outfit to make the right statement: A matching coat and sheath dress. If I were the First Lady's fashion advisor, I couldn't come up with a better ensemble for today's photo op. If it was Mrs. Obama's choice, she continues to have marvelous fashion instincts. We most associate the First Lady wearing a dress with matching coat on Inauguration Day—that one was the yellow brocade by Isabel
