Gossip Girl Fashion Recap: “Beauty And The Feast”
By Elizabeth Hemmerle “Blair is Bursting With Color” Blair is sassing a Stella McCartney skirt, which is truly fruity and fresh. The printed pleated skirt looks great with the solid yellow Peter Som blouse, because it tones yet accentuates the busy pattern. I must say that I love the “dual-design” of this skirt. The print [...]
Pretty Little Liars Fashion Recap: The Goodbye Look
By: Alex Valenzuela After the therapist recommended the girls spend some time apart, that doesn’t stop the girls from doing everything they can to see one another. Jason, Ali’s older brother, is back in town and Melissa, Spencer’s sister, is continuing her strange behavior. It seems as though Aria is done with Ezra and leave [...]
Pretty Little Liars Fashion Recap: “It’s Alive”
By Alex Valenzuela After what seems like forever, Pretty Little Liars is finally back for the second season. I am beyond excited to start my fashion recap for each episode and excited to finally find out whom is “A”. After the intense Season 1 finale, the premiere episode helped us answer a lot of questions [...]
Designer Q&A: Dana-Maxx on New TV Show
By Francesca Claybrook A few weeks ago we had the chance to get to know designer Dana-Maxx in this Designer Spotlight, and when we spoke one of her upcoming projects was an episode of the TV show All On The Line with Elle magazine’s Joe Zee. Dana-Maxx’s episode of the show aired two weeks ago, [...]
Rodarte for Black Swan
By Chevaun Jackson I am sure no one is as excited about Black Swan as I am. As a dancer I grew up in the studio. I have worn various costumes, including tutus. However, as all dancers know, there’s the stage fashion/style and the everyday which can be super feminine, tomboyish (my fav), or everything [...]
Katy Perry for OPI
By Alex Valenzuela Katy Perry is not only known for singing about kissing a girl and liking it, but also for her outrageous fashion and beauty choices. Her nail designs and polish choices are always in the beauty magazines so it only made sense for OPI to approach her to do a nail collection based [...]
Book Review: Lauren Conrad Style
By Alex Valenzuela Lauren Conrad has a growing resume. From reality television star, to clothing designer, to New York Times best selling author, to style icon, Lauren has definitely come far from her days on MTV’s Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. In her newest book, Lauren Conrad Style, Lauren discusses her fashion do’s and [...]
Victoria Beckham Launches Handbag Collection
By Alex Valenzuela Victoria Beckham has come a long way from her Posh Spice days. While her spring 2011 collection showed at New York Fashion Week, the models carried an added accessory as they strutted down the runway, handbags. Since her line is so successful, it does only seem natural for her to add handbag [...]
Ad Review: Madonna for D&G
By Chevaun Jackson There is no denying the icon that Madonna is, so it is no wonder why she is the new face of Dolce and Gabana. However, I am not sure their new ad campaign with the ever transforming Madonna is one that deserves envy. It seems as though she’s reversing instead of moving [...]
Gossip Girl Fashion Recap: “The Undergraduates”
By Francesca Claybrook It’s back to school on Gossip Girl, and (as expected), none of the outfits pictured look anything remotely like something an actual college student would wear to class. Let me tell you, I’ve taken a few classes at Columbia and not once did I see anyone dressed like this – but at [...]
Review: New Kardashian Line at Bebe
By Chevaun Jackson For the third collection of the five season collaboration between the sisters Kardashian— Khloe, Kim and Kourtney—and Bebe’s fashion we see dresses, shoes and handbags pushed to the front lines. Their palette includes sleek black, earthy tans, soft grays and lighter rose; ribbing, seams and sequins add texture in the pieces. The [...]
Gossip Girl Fashion Recap: Double Identity
By Francesca Claybrook Forget “Double Identity” – this episode should have been called “Extreme Identity,” because to me that’s what everyone dressed like – an extreme version of themselves. Serena? Extra sparkly (gold sequined blazer, anyone?) and extra colorful (because what better to pair said sparkly blazer with than cropped cobalt blue pants?) Though to [...]
Gossip Girl Fashion Recap: “Belles Du Jour”
By Francesca Claybrook Bonjour, Gossip Girl fans! The show is back and so is the weekly fashion recap! The season opened with Blair and Serena in Paris. Serena’s first dress kind of grew on me – at first it looked like a giant cream-colored spider web made of sparkly tape, but by the time she [...]
Mark Your Calendars for Fashion’s Night Out 2010
By Francesca Claybrook Yup, the second incarnation of Fashion’s Night Out is right around the corner. Timed to coincide with New York Fashion Week (which begins September 9th), on Friday September 10th participating retailers (both in NYC and around the country) will stay open until 11pm, with a variety of in-store events, such as appearances [...]
Anna Wintour and Marc Jacobs on Late Night
In case you missed it, Vogue editor Anna Wintour and designer Marc Jacobs were on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, and much like last year’s appearance on David Letterman, Wintour drew laughs with her uncanniness. Watch her diss Lady Gaga and discuss Fashions Night Out.
Emmy Bling: Bulgari on the Red Carpet
By Francesca Claybrook Red carpet bling is always noteworthy (and drool-worthy, for that matter!), and last night at the Emmys the jewels looked seriously amazing. Let’s check out two stars, both of whom wore Bulgari on the red carpet. First up: Olivia Munn, the newest Daily Show correspondent, has also appeared in Iron Man 2. [...]

Would You Want Stacy London To Go Through Your Closet?
By Francesca Claybrook Well, now you can get her to do it without being embarrassed on national television – kind of. London is launching a personal style business called Style for Hire, which will employ fifteen stylists at the time of its launch (scheduled for September 13th). Eventually, she, along with business partner and friend [...]

Celebrity Trend: Black Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend
By Francesca Claybrook We all know that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, right? But while most people think of a traditional clear stone when they think of diamonds, there are actually a lot of different options, such as pink, blue, and yellow diamonds. But black diamond rings are currently in the spotlight, mainly thanks [...]
Lady Gaga Takes A Tumble
By Francesca Claybrook It has happened. We all knew this day was coming, and here it is. Lady Gaga’s extreme fashion choices have finally extracted revenge on her, as the singer took a fall in London’s Heathrow Airport. And the spill she took? We’re not talking a delicate trip. This was a full-on, down on [...]
I Want This Shoe Collection: Meredith Vieira
Every morning when I get ready for work I tune into the Today Show to get my morning news fix, weather and most importantly, covet Meredith Vieira’s shoes. This started about a year ago upon noticing that Vieira, whose in her mid-fifties mind you, was always in impeccable, 5-inch high Christian Louboutins. It’s become a [...]
High Style at the Sex and the City 2 Premiere
By Francesca Claybrook Sex and the City 2 premiered last night at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, and all four leading ladies walked the silver carpet. But let’s get right to the important stuff! Here’s what they wore: Sarah Jessica Parker – Neon yellow Valentino. I like it, especially for days like these when [...]
Gossip Girl Fashion Recap: “Last Tango, Then Paris”
By Francesca Claybrook So apparently this was the season finale of Gossip Girl (I somehow kept thinking it was going to be the second to last episode) so of course it was full of drama, but in terms of fashion I thought it was something of a letdown. First, I kept fixating on the plaid [...]
Vanessa Paradis for Chanel Cocoon
I have to say, I love the creative direction Chanel has been taking with its advertisements as of late. Last year, they chose Lily Allen to be the face of its Cocoon line, and this year Johnny Depp’s longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis is taking the reins. The pictures came out great and I personally think [...]
Gossip Girl: “Ex-Husbands and Wives”
By Francesca Claybrook Sometimes I feel like a broken record when it comes to recapping Gossip Girl fashion: Serena is inappropriate, Jenny is inappropriate, Blair is pretty (And sometimes, I must confess, I feel like I’m watching the same episode, even though it’s a new week with new drama). But this week, I think even [...]
Gossip Girl Fashion Recap: “It’s a Dad Dad Dad World”
By Francesca Claybrook Even though there was some snow on the ground during this episode, bright colors were everywhere, and in general I really liked it. The blue dress we see on Serena in the opening scene, although tight, was one of the better outfits I think I’ve seen her in because the color was [...]
Spotted: Lauren Conrad in Ashi Studio Dress
As of late lots of celebrities from Lauren Conrap and Halle Berry to Kate Bosworth and Scarlett Johansen have been spotted sporting dresses by Lebanese designer Mohammed Ashi. The up and coming designer has an array of gorgeous dresses in nude colors. I personally love the Burlap dress shown on Ms. Conrad. It’s the perfect [...]
Kardashian For Bebe Round 2
After the success of their first line, the Kardashian sisters have teamed up with Bebe yet again and unveiled a second line of clothes earlier this week. The line is mostly dresses – one shoulder, cut outs, mesh, structure — all of this season’s hottest trends. It also has an emerging trend – leather micro [...]
Gossip Girl Fashion Recap: “Dr. Strangeloved”
By Francesca Claybrook Gossip Girl fans, the show is back and so am I, with your weekly fashion recap and some breaking news – this week, many people were inappropriately dressed. Oh wait, that’s not new? Well then let’s get to it. Serena wore the completely wrong dress for catching up with her long lost [...]
