Pretty Women: Kate and Hayden

Posted under fashion & Kate Moss & Julia Roberts & Hayden Panettiere

Wow. We haven’t seen boots like these since the days when Julia Roberts was donning a blonde bob and soliciting sex in Pretty Woman. Seeing as how that movie was made more than ten years ago, we didn’t expect to see trends from it again in the new millennium.

The look is a little Matrix though, so depending on whether you a ‘half full’ or ‘half empty’ kind of girl, Kate Moss and Hayden Panettiere, are either behind the times or light years ahead.

Let’s think about this rationally. Since Hayden is a well known for her resounding role on read more ....

Lauren’s on the Mark

Posted under fashion & Lauren Conrad & Heidi Montag

So with The Hills finally ending for the season, where on earth are we going to get all of our fashion fixes? Oh come on. You know that’s the only reason I sit through that half hour of fake drama each week…well, that and, I’m addicted.

As I was saying, though: where, oh where will we learn about the Hollywood fashion scene now?! Oh, that’s right the season isn’t over! Ha! There’s a spoiler for those of you who haven’t watched your DVR event yet.

In the coming weeks, we get to watch Lauren Conrad jet set off to Paris read more ....

Diamonds are Beyonce’s Best Friend

Posted under fashion & Giorgio Armani & The Spice Girls & Beyonce

Yeah, you’ve heard the song. And if you see any commercials for Giorgio Armani’s new fragrance campaign, you’ll get to hear Beyonce singing it.

Well, the campaign has been around for a little while here in the U.S., but over in Italy, they haven’t gotten to, er, enjoy Beyonce’s lovely rendition of this hit Broadway tune.

Anyway, across the ocean today, Beyonce was hanging out with her pal Armani for the fragrance’s launch. Apparently it’s all up to the singer to do a good job launching the Emporio Armani scent, “Diamonds”, at Rinascente’s flagship in Piazza Duomo. Designers don’t do read more ....

Celebrities, Shorts and Tights

Posted under fashion & Gwen Stefani & Kate Moss & Rihanna & Nicole Richie & Chloe Sevigney

Chloe Sevigny, Nicole Richie, Gwen Stefani, Rihanna

Ah, shorts in winter. The idea brings back the memory of “walking shorts” - my mom dressed me in these winter-themed shorts when I was growing up. They were usually plaid, and a big longer than typical “summer” shorts. And, of course, you always wore them with opaque tights. So I admit, when I first saw people wearing tights or leggings under their shorts to convert them to a winter look, I was a little skeptical. But the look’s grown on me - as it has some of our fashion-forward celeb favorites.

Rush on Armani Underwear Thanks to Beckham

Posted under fashion & Giorgio Armani & David Beckham & guys

david_beckham_armani1.jpg

While Victoria Beckham may be having a very “spice-y” Christmas, her hott hubby is making headlines of his own. His Armani campaign doesn’t hit ad pages everywhere until March, but London fans are having trouble waiting that long!

One store saw a 50 percent leap in sales of Armani white men’s briefs after there were reports in the British press that Beckham would be the new face … excuse us, the new BODY … of Emporio Armani underwear.

Sales of the entire Emporio Armani underwear line rose on average by 30 percent across the range, the store said.

E! Online read more ....

Fashion Roundup

Posted under fashion & Victoria Beckham & Seal & Heidi Klum & Marc jacobs & Posh Spice & Martha Stewart

 victoria_beckham1.jpg

Some of the best fashion and celeb-inspired headlines this week:

All’s not well on the home front - Martha Stewart living is eliminating more jobs - from a rather surprising place.  They’re doing away with their relatively new magazine, Blueprint - a young women’s lifestyle magazine which launched in April 2006. Seems like companies and advertisers are going after the young dollar, so it’s a little puzzling that Martha would drop some of her youngest fans

Posh gets a standing ovation - Marc Jacobs convinced the Spice Girl (aka Victoria Beckham) to be the face of a new campaign shot read more ....

Brad’s Not Such a Bad Boy

Posted under fashion & accessories & Brad Pitt & Ben Affleck & George Clooney

brad_pitt_bike.jpg 

It looks like Brad Pitt is riding around on one of the baddest fashion accessories he could find: his motorcycle!

And not only does he ride it around Beverly Hills and L.A., he makes sure to find motorcycles when he’s traveling abroad. Wow, Brad is one dedicated biker.

brad_pitt_2.jpg

Doesn’t it just seem like all the bad boys have a little toy like this, though? Think about all the ‘bad’ celebrities who ride their bikes around: you’ve got Ben Affleck, George Clooney, and, of course, Brad Pitt. On second thought, though, none of those celebs really seem that bad-ass to read more ....

Do Leggings Keep Your Legs Warm?

Posted under fashion & accessories & Drew Barrymore & Jessica Alba & Kate Beckinsale

celebrity_leggings.jpg

The leggings trend seems here to stay… for now. Even in the cold winter months, or maybe because of the cold winter months, we’ve been seeing an abundance of the tight leg-wear.

I have to admit, though, the style makes it a whole lot easier to pull off short dresses in the wintertime. Just check out Jessica Alba, Drew Barrymore, and Kate Beckinsale. They sure don’t seem to be cold! But then again, maybe that’s because they live in bright, sunny California. Huh.

I for one am a fan of leggings, but I’m still trying to figure out how exactly read more ....

Guys, Pick Your Trends Wisely

Posted under fashion & accessories & Natalie Portman

Bluefly’s blog, Flypaper, just put out a posting that I think needs to be addressed for the sake of guys everywhere.

Usually I just let other people post their fashion opinions and I post mine, but really, guys wearing brooches? No way. There is no guy that I know who would be caught dead wearing a brooch.

jerry_seinfeld.jpg
In all fairness, I even did a search to see if people worth mentioning (that means celebrities) were following this supposed trend. Yeah, they’re not. Well, except for the girls.

At fashion shows everywhere you’ll see women sporting jeweled brooches, but definitely no read more ....

Hayden’s Hot Handbag

Posted under fashion & Sienna Miller & bags & Hayden Panettiere & Ashley Olsen & Jessica Alba & Luella Bartley & Rebecca Minkoff & Moschino

So Hayden Panettiere got caught by the paparazzi doing some errands yesterday. Yeah, very exciting. But what was probably a dull day for Hayden still gave us a few cues as to what’s fashionable.

hayden_panetierre.jpg
Hayden is carrying what I like to call the frumpy day bag. Really, it’s for those lazy days, when you hardly want to get ready, but you, unfortunately, have no choice but to leave the comfort of your couch. And that’s exactly what Hayden looks like.

Well, even though the big black bag (BBB) is perfect for those days you don’t want to leave home, it’s read more ....
