It’s almost that time of year again — the time to strip down to our bikinis and work on our tans, and i couldn’t be happier. I’m even more excited leading up to this swimsuit season because I’ve discovered a new swimsuit line that cannot wait to sport on the beach — Voda Swim. [...]

I believe my feelings towards this week’s Gossip Girl fashion can be summed up in the following sentences:
Jenny Humphrey – no.
Blair Waldorf – yes.
Vanessa – wtf?
Serena – really?
Dorota – you’re back!
Should I elaborate? Ok. Jenny needs to stay away from the grunge – sure, she’s developing into a fashion designer, but [...]

Madonna appeared as the face of Louis Vuitton last year but this year she’s taking on a new role — designer. The pop star has teamed up with her daughter Lourdes for a line “MG Icon” (for Material Girl) with Macy’s but what I’m more excited about is her partnership with Dolce & Gabbana for [...]

This year, my New Year’s resolution was to be more eco-conscious, but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t do it in style. I’ve recently stumbled upon b. happybags, adorable resusable shopping bags perfect for everything from grocery shopping, the gym, the mall etc. The bags come in a ton of fun and girly prints. I have [...]

If this week’s Gossip Girl episode is any indication, we’ll be wearing florals this spring. Keep an eye on how these characters kept the look contemporary though – floral prints can easily turn into something that looks like you stole it from your grandmother’s closet, and not in the chic, vintage way. [...]

The Kardashian clan have been spotted out and about recently sporting Sam Edelman’s Gigi Sandal’s out in Miami. Kim and Kourtney are both fans of the leopard print ones which retail for $50. I love when celebrities occasionally wear items us commoners can actually afford. Like the shoes? Get them here.

Ballet-inspired updos and soft makeup have been all over the runways, which means that very soon ballerina style will be making its way to the streets. Need proof? Check out Demi Moore in her whimsical Oscar dress. I had the chance to sit down with Donna Salgado, a New York [...]

The latest in a long string of celebrity designers is Lauren Conrad, who designed a line called LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s. Her spring 2010 collection is actually the second season she’s designed for the store (she debuted her line in the fall of 2009). The collection includes tops, bottoms, and [...]

Remember how last week’s theme was black and sequined? Well the sparkles continued this week. Jenny stuck with sequins, but Blair wore an amazing collar necklace (at least, I think it was a necklace, although it could have been attached to her shirt) that I really loved. I admit I’ve [...]

Cutout styles are one of this season’s hottest trends. We’ve see stars like Kate Winslet wearing dresses with geometric cutouts on the red carpet (check out our post featuring her dress from the BAFTA awards), and now we are bringing the style to you. Designers like Michael Kors, Alexander Wang, and [...]

Louis Vuitton pulled all the stops for the fashion house’s Paris show. You might recognize a few (aka a LOT) of familiar faces modeling the designer’s clothes on the runway. LV picked Victoria’s Secrets models Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima and Karolina Kurkova as well as Leo’s main squeeze Bar Rafaeli. But wait, there’s more. They [...]

As of the last year or so I’ve been on a sexy boyshorts kick. My drawers are loaded with honey dew, and Victoria’s Secret cheekies and Hanky Panky. But more recently I stumbled across Foxers and I’m hooked. These undies have the boxer top but the bottoms are curve-hugging lace that not only look really [...]

Fashion Week has moved to Paris, and the metallic trend has settled on one shade this season: gold. With the Winter Olympics just a few weeks ago, and the Oscars several days ago, this shade has been on everyone’s mind, from gold medals to Oscar statuettes. Now it appears it’s [...]

Hey Gossip Girl fans – I’ll be doing a weekly style update of each episode’s best (and, let’s be honest, maybe worst) outfits after each episode. I have to say, Gossip Girl made it easy on me this week – I felt like there weren’t many costume changes throughout the episode, making [...]

Dramatic lips in all shades of red continued to be popular on the runways – at the Milan shows we saw orangey-red at DSquared2 and shades of dark burgundy at Missoni, while Gianfranco Ferre featured bright, glossy reds. Models at Dolce and Gabbana wore both dramatic raspberry-colored lips and defined eyes, in [...]

Sandra Bullock looks amazing. Love this color on her

Bravo Kristen Stewart, she actually looks lady-like

Diane Kruger in Chanel Hot Couture

Demi Moore’s gown looks flawless on her. Blush will be a huge color this spring.

Anna Kendrick also went the blush route in this Elie Saab number.

Love the color and style of this Versace dress on Elizabeth [...]

The Milan fashion shows are important events on every editor’s calendar. But one editor who refuses to change her schedule to accommodate a longer Fashion Week? Vogue’s Anna Wintour. You may have heard about the uproar that erupted in Milan after the editor in chief announced that she would be [...]

Sequined skirts are all the rage but let’s face it, who really has an extra $1,350 lying around to shell out on this Proenza Schouler skirt (no matter how gorgeous it is) That’s when you have to be resourceful. Cynthia Steffe has a similar skirt for a fraction of the price — $96. This [...]

Barbie collectors and Christian Louboutin afficionados grab your credit cards. Today the newest installment of Christian Louboutin’s Barbie hits the shelves, err… Internet. This “Dolly Forever Barbie” is dressed in a safari-style dress and magenta fringe boots, but comes with three other pairs of the designer’s shoes so you can play dress up. The Barbie [...]

I personally love Milan’s fashion week and think of it as the souped up, edgier version of New York fashion week The designers seem to pull out all the stops and their shows just drip pure, sultry Italian-inspired fashion. This year’s highlights include Sicily-inspired fashion at Dolce & Gabbana’s show, mixed with tailored jackets, Versus’s [...]

I’m a self proclaimed Twitter addict, getting everything from my news, to friend update and celebrity musings. But I also find it’s a great resource for getting my daily dose of fashion news. Among the Twitterati are great fashion blogs, designers, fashion writers etc. and if you’re on Twitter, you’ll want to follow our top [...]
