Zoe Kravitz...Supermodel In The Making
2007-07-20 17:54:00
Celebrity spawn Zoe Krav itz appears in her own layout as a part of Trace Magazine's annual "Black Girls Rule" issue. In the mag, guest edited by supermodel Iman, Zoe looks as fabulous as her rock star parents, Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz. Of the up and coming model, veteran Iman only had wonderful things to say,"When I met her for the first time, with her dad and her late grandfather, I literally took her under my wings like she was my own daughter. Self-effacing, knowing and grounded is what makes her truly the new 'It' girl."Clearly this girl is going places. In addition to her newly minted model status, Miss Kravitz is well on her way towards movie stardom. This fall, Zoe is set to star alongside Terrence Howard and Jodie Foster in The Brave One. for larger views, click the pictures

Briefs It Is...Djimon for Calvin Klein
2007-07-19 18:56:00
A few months back we found out that Academy Award winner Djimon Hounsou would be the face of the Fall 2007 Calvin Klein Underwear ad campaign. Well now we're awarded with the first fruits of that labor, and boy were they fruitful, lol. Djimon looks beyond excellent in these ads, and of his fab body, he had this to say,“I regularly watch how much, when and what I eat. It really becomes a daily journey. You just have to do it - get up, eat something, go to the gym - so you can burn as much as you can and look lean. It’s pretty challenging.”I guess women aren't the only ones who have to watch what we eat. The ads were shot in the Palm Springs desert by photographer Peter Lindbergh, and are said to be a throwback to the original 1980s Calvin Klein Underwear ads.

Bend It Like Beckham...Victoria That Is
2007-07-18 19:08:00
My favorite British import, Victoria Beckham , shows us exactly how a Batch! works the soccer mom look. Wearing an off the shoulder grey blouse, matching grey skinny jeans, and her obligatory high high heels, Victoria is the epitome of runway chic. On Tuesday, VB took her three boys, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, to play soccer at the Real So Cal Soccer Club in Woodland Hills, CA. Whatever else you have to say about Victoria you've got to admit that she seems like a wonderful mom. If the local soccer moms want to keep up with Mrs. Beckham they better look to the runway for inspiration asap!for pricing, click picturesPicture Source

Fit For A Princess...Kate Middleton's Got Style
2007-07-17 19:09:00
I'm not what I'd call a "Royal Watcher," those who keep up with Britain's royal family. But when I saw these pics of Kate Middleton (Prince William's rumored on-again girlfriend), I knew I had to share. This grey and white ensemble that Kate is wearing is so classic, it's a look that will be as current next summer as it is now. The perfect way to wear skinny jeans is to pair them with a flared top, and that's just what Kate has done. The contrast of the straight lines of the jeans, and the volume of the top is extremely flattering for almost any shape. What's also great about Kate's look is the combination of grey and white. It's a perfect color combination for summer. Grey and white isn't as bold as current summer color trends of yellows, greens, and purples. But it is fresh and breezy, exactly what summer is about.for pricing, click the picturesPicture Source

Covergirls...Jessica Simpson Does Harper's Bazaar
2007-07-16 18:50:00
Jessica Simpson shines on the cover of the August issue of Harper 's Bazaar . Wearing a red dress with ruched detailing, Jessica looks as youthful and happy as ever (these pics must have been taken before the breakup with John Mayer, lol). In the magazine, Jessica finally puts to rest those pesky plastic surgery/boob job rumors.In relation to plastic surgery: “I’ve had none. But maybe after having kids, if my boobs dropped down to my bellybutton, I would get them lifted. But you know, my boobs are real.”Now the world can sleep at night knowing that yes, Jessica Simpson's boobs are real, lol. I think Jessica looks better in the second pic featured in the mag. The dark and mysterious look works for her, but we all know that she's now back to her signature blonde look.for larger view, click picture

Pink is The New...Wedding Dress?
2007-07-07 09:32:00
Eva Longoria's lavish wedding to San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker is going down today in Paris France, but the two were married yesterday in a civil ceremony. In France you're required to have a civil ceremony before you can get married anywhere else, so the two were married yesterday by the mayor of Paris himself. Eva wore this classic pink Chanel dress to the first of her wedding ceremonies. She's been criticized for pairing her dress with a somewhat gaudy necklace and platform pumps, and normally I would agree, but this look is just pure Eva. She loves her accessories, and I think I actually would have been shocked if she hadn't been a little over the top.Picture Source

Emma Watson...Cute, Chic, And All Grown Up
2007-07-06 15:51:00
Harry Potter's Emma Watson has come a long way from her early days as Hermione Granger. When I saw these pics of her at the photo call for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, I just thought her look was too adorable. Emma's simple black dress with basic white tee and sleek mary janes are so age appropriate, yet could be tailored to work for a woman of almost any age. To make the look more funky, I would have paired the dress with a pair of stilettos, and maybe added some colorful jewelry. Emma is all grown up now, and it's apparent that she's evolving right along with her style.for prices, click picturesPicture Source

Sarah Works It Like She's From The 60s
2007-07-05 15:05:00
With her long locks, middle part, oversized sunglasses, and mod sheath dress, actress Sarah Michelle Gellar looks like she's straight out of the 60s. The mod look has been a big hit this summer season, and Sarah shows us exactly how to pull it off. While on a shopping trip in London she looks perfectly pulled together, so much so that you wouldn't believe Sarah was just shopping, lol. I love how the simple lines of this dress are both contemporary and vintage at the same time. Plus, pairing the dress with Christian Louboutin pumps completely updates the look. Sarah's latest movies may not have been big hits, but her style choices are definitely top star quality.for pricing, click the picturesPicture Source

How Not To Wear It....Jennifer's Shirtdress
2007-07-03 03:53:00
A few days ago, I featured this fabulous anchor print shirtdress from J. Crew. Now we see actress Jennifer Love Hewitt wearing the same dress, but getting the look all wrong. First off, I don't particularly like the dress' fit on Jennifer. When you're a well endowed Batch! you have to be careful with button ups. They must be loose around the bust but fitted at the waist, or it will create a frumpy silhouette. The same rule applies to shirtdresses. Jennifer's dress fits around the bust, but is too large around the waist, making her look a bit larger than her actual size.My second problem is with Jennifer's choice of shoe. Because the dress hits right below the knee, it shortens the body. To achieve a lengthening affect, Jennifer should have worn a heel. I know how it is sometimes, and every now and then you just want to wear flats. Jennifer could have just worn a pair of cute flat sandals, or if she still insisted on wearing sneakers, a skimmer would have been better s...

Chloe Sevigny...Hot In White And Tights
2007-06-29 19:17:00
Chloe Sevigny has always had a quirky sense of style, and she's been on many a worst dressed list because of it. In the past she's had trouble finding a balance between her unique sense of style, current trends, and her own looks and body type. But as of late, Chloe seems to have finally come into her own. Here she is at the Qatar Airways Gala Event wearing a cute floral applique' white tunic, black tights, and open toe pumps. This look is clearly in step with current trends; we've seen tunics and tights everywhere lately. But Chloe puts her own spin on the look with tights that have detailing akin to riding pants, and a tunic that has plenty of texture and floral detailing. Often times, trends get really old really quick, and it's difficult to see how we can stand out by following them. If you want your individual style to standout, but still remain trendy, take a cue from Chloe Sevigny and choose trendy pieces whose fabrics have interesting detailing and texture. for ...

Kate Bosworth...Lady Like at The Car Wash
2007-06-28 23:52:00
Who dresses this nice to drop their car off at the car wash? Obviously Kate Bosworth does. The actress is the epitome of feminine chic as she takes her car to get a little summer cleaning. Kate proves that it doesn't take much to look effortlessly put together. By pairing a shirtdress with a silver belt and silver sandals, Kate achieves a look that's as feminine as it is classic. It's so easy to just throw on sweats to go out and run errands. But if we follow Kate Bosworth's example, it can be just as easy to put together a stylish look before we walk out the door.for prices and store locations, click the picsPicture Source

2007 BET Awards...Eve
2007-06-27 20:43:00
I really wish Eve would let go of this platinum hair, or at least style it differently. She looks fabulous at the BET Awards in a body hugging Dolce and Gabbana cheetah print dress. But Eve's hair just cheapens the overall look. If you keep your eyes off the hair, you're able to appreciate this look. The dress is so gaudy (in a good way), that it calls for the wearer to glam up the look even more with accessories. Eve does just that by adding stacks of sparkling bangles, and a long gold chain. It's the perfect balance between not enough and too much.Picture Source

2007 BET Awards...Rihanna
2007-06-27 20:22:00
Rihanna definitely had one of my favorite looks of the night. With her curly asymmetrical bob, and white strapless dress, Miss Fenty looked fabulous. This look definitely proves that less is indeed more. This dress and its detailing are so on point, that Rihanna was able to keep her accessories to a minimum. She keeps it simple with earrings, a big ring, and a thin necklace. Anything more would have taken away from her look.Picture Source

2007 BET Awards...Eva Marcille (Pigford)
2007-06-27 20:07:00
I appreciate how Eva Marcille (she dropped the Pigford) is sporting a look that's both red carpet and weather appropriate. So often at these awards shows do you see celebrities wearing fabulous outfits, but you know that they must be hot as hell, lol. Eva's showing off a new cut that's longer than her usual close cropped 'do. Clearly she's one of those ladies that can wear their hair at any length and any color, because she looks just as fabulous here as when she had the shorter, blonder hair. I always felt that Eva was one of the more beautiful winners of America's Next Top Model, and with this look, she's proving that she was worthy of her Top Model status.

Beyonce donned her usual shimmery glam look at last night's BET Awards in this silver Dolce & Gabbana floor length gown. If you'll notice, this dress is from the same collection as the dress Naomi Campbell wore on her last day of community service. I am tired of seeing the same looks on Beyonce, but I guess if it ain't broke, you don't fix it. It's her usual look, but she looks great and obviously knows what works best for her.Picture Source

Jordin Sparks Sizzles in Red
2007-06-26 21:16:00
Everyone knows that the 'little black dress' is a closet staple, but the little red dress is fast becoming an equally important wardrobe addition. American Idol winner, Jordin Spar ks proves that yes, curvy girls can wear little dresses too. The red color of this dress is perfect against Jordin's skin, and the sash around the dress gives the young pop star an instant waist. People have complained that this latest idol winner is too big, but the girl just has a body. She's glowing in this photo, and clearly happy with her shape. The little red dress is perfect for the warm summer months, and as you can see with Miss Sparks, the look works for women of any size.

What?Huh?...Leelee Sobieski
2007-06-22 21:43:00
I haven't seen Leelee Sobieski in a while, but if this is her idea of fashion, I'll kindly ask that she stay wherever she was, lol. Leelee sported this fetching look at the opening of the newest Hermes store on Wall St. in New York. This outfit is just all kind of wrong. The high waist pants, the bra/bustier, the lack of jewelry, I can't find anything about this look that I like. What exactly was Leelee thinking? Maybe I'm just being too harsh. If there's something redeemable about this outfit, please let me know.Picture Source

for pricing, click dress pictureWhen I first saw this J.Crew dress, I immediately fell in love. When I saw it again on actress/model Joy Bryan t , I loved it even more. But at nearly $500, this bad boy won't be in my wardrobe anytime soon, lol. In addition, I'm a short girl, so these maxi length dresses aren't too flattering. I think the coloring and patchwork detailing on this dress is beautiful and perfect for the summer. I'm not too sure of Joy's pairing of this dress with her grey sweater, but I still think she looks cute. For you tall ladies out there, this dress would create a fabulous summer look.

I go on a mini vacation, and come back to find all these pics of Victoria Beckham sporting her natural brunette hair color. But wait! It's not Vicky B, it's actually Katie Holmes. I'd read rumors a while ago that Katie and Victoria were good friends, well if Katie's new look is any indication, perhaps the rumors are true. I must say that I really love Katie's new look, whether or not she was inspired by Victoria. This look is much more chic and stylish, and plays up Katie's natural beauty. Good job Katie!Picture Source

OMG!...Britney Actually Looks Decent
2007-06-16 00:20:00
You know, I've refrained from commenting on Britney Spears. When someone has some serious personal issues, the last thing people should worry about is said person's fashion choices. But Miss Spears recently stepped out looking, dare I say, cute. Her vest and white shirt combo are the perfect match with her black shorts and mary jane peep toe pumps (are those Louboutin's?). Even her hat choice is on point. The black fedora lends itself to the overall style of Britney's look. With this new look and the recent reunion with her estranged mother, maybe there is hope for Britney after all.for prices and store locations, click pics

Katie's Got A Brand New 'Do!

One of the positive things that came out of Katie Holmes' union with Tom Cruise is her much updated sense of style. Ever since these two got together, Katie's look has almost never failed to disappoint. Here's Katie as she steps out with her hubby sporting a fabulous new haircut. I like this shorter hair on her, Katie's had that one hairstyle (straight, long hair) it seems like forever. When the weather gets warmer, the celebs get scissor happy, and Katie Holmes is the latest to jump on the haircut bandwagon. What do you all think of Katie's new look?Picture Source

Covergirls...Angelina Jolie Shines in Marie Claire
2007-06-12 09:35:00
This has to be one of the best photo shoots I've ever seen from Angelina Jolie . Angelina's a beautiful woman, so whenever she's in a magazine, photographers tend to always play up her sexy side. But in the July issue of Marie Claire, I think we finally get to see a side of Angelina that's seldom seen. We finally get a glimpse at Angelina the woman and mother. She seems so relaxed and happy in these photos, such a complete difference in how we usually see her-- somber and deep in thought. Angelina's been doing a lot of smiling lately (I would smile too if Brad was my man, lol), so obviously things are going well in her life.for larger view, click the picturesPicture Source

I really need to find out who Rihanna's stylist is because she/he is on their job! Clearly I must want to own Rihanna's entire closet, because this is about the fourth or fifth clothing choice of hers that I've fallen in love with. If you can afford to pay nearly $200 on a top (get it girl!), then be sure to pick up this little number.
