Rock The Hermès Clutch At the recent Hermès Fall/Winter 2007 fashion show, models were carrying a new breed of clutches. These multi-purpose bags act as a clutch and a hand-warmer during the winter months. They look really ridiculous to me. How much do you think they will be retailed for? Do you love it or hate it?

Lollilicious!!!Have yourself a little sugar treat that lights up a wardrobe of dark.Use colors as accents to dress up basic shades such as black, blue or white. Giving monotones a dose of fire engine red or electric blue gives your clothes that instant shot of energy! Try on a funky watch or a sunshine-y clutch in bubblegum yellow or a hot pink belt. Don't worry about the colors jaring. The whole idea is to go just a little overboard.1. Steve Madden Spiral Flat - $79.00 at Macy*s2. Tricoastal Design Gingham Headband - $6.00 at Nordstrom3.

Eva The Diva ?America's Next Top Model ? Cycle 3 winner, Eva Marcille (she officially dropped Pigford), looked absolutely fabulous at this year's BET Awards. Her Laundry by Design Blanket Stripe Wrap Dress looked very flattering to her figure and was perfect with her skin tone. As we can?t see her shoes, I have chosen Jimmy Choo?s Mardi Metallic Sandals which will look dazzling with the multi-colored dress. She completed her look with a silver clutch and a few Lucite bangles. I have always felt that she was the best ANTM winner.

Maxi Dress Magic The floor-skimming, ankle length maxi dresses are the perfect antidote to this season's shorts and mini dresses with sky-high hemlines. The maxi dress is a highly wearable, must-have during the sunny months.Maxi dresses look very glamorous, laid back and elegant. Its versatility means you can wear it on a movie date, a day of shopping with the girls or just for attending a wedding. Nicole Richie, Kate Moss, Kate Hudson and Mischa Barton are amogst many celebrities who are adopting this trend. Perfect PrintsChoose a delicate but delightful paisley print for some bohemian summer spirit. Retro swirls are another print that works perfectly within the hippie chic trend easing it's way into high summer collections. Paris Hilton made the right choice with this dress. I love the graphic print. It looks very bohemian and tribal.1. Lucas & Lily Print Maxi Dress - $98.00 at Nordstrom2. T-Bags Tube Long Dress - $220.00 at Revolve Clothing3.

I think it's because her skeletor husband is not there to spoil her pics.'Jenny from The Block' looked like a Grecian goddess in a bright white Albino one-piece the launch of the jeweler's new line. Lopez paired her romper with a necklace from the designer's monkey-inspired collection and an arm-full of gold bangles. She finished her look with gold clutch.A romper is a one-piece short suit. Rompers are cute and perfect for Summer.However, rompers look best on a very particular body-type. You will have to be of average height, with long legs and a very lean body.If you happen to be that body-type, or you're going to wear a romper anyway, you should know that it is best to keep your look minimal.

I'm in Seventh Heaven I walked pass Chanel in Ginza, Japan and just fell head over Steve Madden heels in love. Never believed in love at first sight, but now I so do! It is just so exquisitely beautiful. I fell in love with the Chanel Ivory Chain Handle Bag. I just love drawstring bags like Louis Vuitton?s Noe. Drawstring bags looks very chic yet laid back.Anyway, I walked in to the shop and just bought it. I think it was a mixture of peer pressure, sales girl pressure and the sight of the first Chanel bag I have ever loved. I have always felt that Chanel bags are a tad too old for me.I bought the bag for 580,000 Yen (aprox. USD$1,800)What do you think of my new love?
