The Stylings of Heidi Montag

Posted by kristin On August - 31 - 2009

Either Heidi’s stint on Help! I’m a Celebrity Get me Out of Here was too long and she lost her fashion sense, or she simply should  have been left on the island to fend for herself, making stylish creations from palm fronds and coconut shells. Heidi Montag The Hills star, Heidi Montag, recently appeared at Good Day L.A. in this very casual and unattractive ensemble. Although the draped look is hitting its stride with the elite and the not-so-elite this season and will probably be a huge... more

Boyfriend Style for Fall 2009

Posted by kristin On August - 26 - 2009

Katie Holmes Boyfriend Jeans The boyfriend jean started picking up speed before summer, especially when Katie Holmes was spotted wearing a pair. Oddly enough the look prompted people to assume they were Tom Cruise’s pants, which obviously doesn’t make any sense as the pants are cuffed in a comfortable boyfriend jean style and Tom Cruise is about six inches shorter than Katie Holmes. But anyway, she really kick started the trend and since then it’s gone a little nutty. Kate Moss... more

Electric Blue Lights up the Stars

Posted by kristin On August - 25 - 2009

Electric blue is the new black with celebrities this season. The color pops and draws attention to the stars but as a solid color it goes with almost everything and creates a beautifully slimming silhouette. Taylor Swift Blue Dress One celebrity that wears electric blue pretty frequently and does it with a youthful grace and beauty is Taylor Swift. Her simple Rebecca Taylor Dance with Me Dress was modified slightly for the stage but looks stunning on Taylor Swift with its light gauzy airy quality... more

Is the Mini Dress Back

Posted by kristin On August - 24 - 2009

A celebrity fashion trend seems to be breaking on the horizon, the mini dress. Not a favorite trend of mine, the mini dress often seems a bit more gratuitous than it needs to be. Case in point, Sienna Miller. Sienna Miller Mini Dress Celebrity Sienna Miller is notoriously bad dresser so this outfit is actually one of her better choices, but it really does absolutely nothing for her figure. The balloon skirt makes hips look large, while the cut across the breast is limiting and makes her look bound,... more

Cassie Cuts her Locks

Posted by kristin On August - 20 - 2009

Cassie Hair Hey when all else fails, shave your head. Singer Cassie doesn’t seem to be garnering enough attention with her so-called talents so she’s decided to take to the antics instead; ala Britney Spears. Actually, I have to admit I sort of like the half shorn head look on her, it’s a little edgy. But she’s failing miserably when it comes to clothing and even the half a head of locks isn’t going to save her from falling to the wayside with this dowdy jumpsuit.  First... more

Casual like the First Lady

Posted by kristin On August - 19 - 2009

Michelle Obama Shorts Michelle Obama is getting knocked for wearing some shorts that may have been a tad too tight on a recent trip with her family to the Grand Canyon but I think she should be commended. She’s dressing just like every American mom does when they go on a summer hiking vacation with their children. In fact, Michelle Obama’s ill fitting shorts may actually be good for her husband’s image. By making a slight fashion gaff that every regular American woman has made the... more

Posted by kristin On August - 18 - 2009

leighton-meester-and-ed-westwick In an upcoming issue of Elle, Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick go Goth and look incredible. The Goth look might actually be catching on a bit with the Hollywood hip set and the trend grabbing youth as Twilight has become the hottest book and movie for those trendsetters and there’s nothing quite as Goth as a vampire. Grab your own both look with lots and loads of black. Start with simple black pants, black leather pants if you’re a... more

Taylor Swift Wants Rihanna’s Style

Posted by kristin On August - 14 - 2009

Taylor Swift Country music singer, Taylor Swift, has recently admitted that she looks to Rihanna for fashion tips and admires the singer’s style. And who can blame her. Rihanna looks great no matter what she’s wearing, even if it’s a shiner from her on again/off again boyfriend Chris Brown.  Rihanna Denim Dress Here Rihanna steps out in fairly casual short strapless denim dress paired with a very unusual turquoise hat  and matching turquoise stiletto pumps which make the outfit... more

From Dumpy to Dazzling

Posted by kristin On August - 13 - 2009

Frumpy Jennifer Lopez Recently Jennifer Lopez was seen on vacation looking frightfully dumpy in a sagging pair of sweat pants and an ill-fitting white t-shirt. She finished the shouldn’t-even-be-seen-in-public outfit with an old pair of athletic shoes. Flanked by bodyguards the look drew more attention that she probably wanted from the paparazzi and labeled her a frumpy 40 year old. Jennifer Lopez Bikini Apparently she’s working double duty to erase that image and once again be considered... more

Black is Back

Posted by kristin On August - 12 - 2009

It’s still summer, although the end of summer, and it appears that black is back already. Hollywood’s elite and the top celebrities are hitting the red carpet in lots of black and looking pretty incredible in the process. Angelina Jolie  Angelina Jolie stepped out at the premiere of Brad Pitt’s latest film, Inglourious Basterds,  in a striking strapless black leather dress paired with a pair of simple black gladiator sandals. The look was simple, sexy and edgy but not over the... more
