FOUND: Gwen Stefani's Boho-Chic Maxi Dress
2008-02-25 22:14:00
photo: people.comIs it just me, or is half of Hollywood pregnant these days? With this weekend's addition of Angelina Jolie to the confirmed (more or less) pregnant list, we're in for a spring full of fabulous maternity fashions. Mommy-to-be Gwen Stefani -- arguably the biggest fashionista of the expecting list-- was recently spotted out and about in a flowing boho-chic maxi dress. Stunning, as always, Gwen.As to be expected, Gwen is taking a page from the current anti-maternity clothes trend. Just like fellow expectant mom Jessica Alba, Gwen is fond of wearing forgiving "regular" clothes rather than traditional maternity wear. Want to steal Gwen Stefani's boho-chic, anti-maternity maxi dress style? No need to be with child. She's wearing the new Long Ruffle Dress from Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent.Twelfth St. Cynthia Vincent Long Dress$372.00Free ShippingAvailable at: shopbop.comI adore this dress on so many levels.

New & Hot: Wooden Handle Clutches by Old Navy
2008-02-25 20:04:00
Wooden Handle Clutch$19.50Available at: oldnavy.comIt has taken me a while to work up to admitting this, but I'm totally loving Old Navy lately. They have been producing relevant, fashion-forward basics that are quite well-constructed for the price and fit in a modern, stylish wardrobe. Plus, they've thankfully moved away from that awful habit they had of plastering their logo all over everything.My latest must-have Old Navy find is the brand new Wooden Handle Clutch from their Safari collection. It is made of jute and cotton with a cotton/ poly lining and real wood handle-- classy, right? Although you can't tell from the picture, it is 17" long by 10" tall, putting it squarely in the trendy "oversized clutch" genre. And, to top it all off, it comes in 4 solid colors and one pattern, so you are sure to find a fabric to fit your spring/ summer wardrobe. I'm loving it in Natural, shown here. Oh, and it will set you back a mere $20. You really can't beat that.Click on the photo to...

Oscar Style: Red is The New Black
2008-02-25 00:48:00
It's mid-afternoon here in not-so-sunny California and the Oscar Red Carpet is just kicking into high gear. We're still a good hour or so from the actual Academy Awards ceremony, but we're already getting a good picture of which red carpet trends will likely carry over into our wardrobes over the next few months. The first big trend from the red carpet: chic red dresses!The young Hollywood set in particular seems to have embraced deep, rich shades of red as the color of choice for this special occasion. Red dresses have already been spotted on Heidi Klum, Miley Cyrus, Katherine Heigl, Ruby Dee, Helen Mirren, and Anne Hathaway.l-r: Heidi Klum, Miley Cyrus, Anne Hathawayphotos: wireimage - click to view entire photo gallerySo, how will the glamorous red dress trend translate to real life? Opt for a red dress in cocktail-length for your next special occasion. The color will add star-quality drama, but the slightly less formal length will keep you from looking like you're playing dr...

C&C California "Wrangler " Tee$23.00 (was $46-- save 50%!)Available at: candccalifornia.comAs much as I love higher-end fashion, I'll be the first to admit that paying nearly $50 for a plain tee shirt is kind of painful. Even when that tee shirt is from cult favorite C&C California, a line known for its tissue-thin fabric, impeccable cut, and superior fit. But, what if you could score classic C&C tees for the same price as a tee shirt from Gap? Yeah, I thought so.I just ran across a huge stash of C&C California's classic "Wrangler" tee-- easily identifiable by it's unique longer short sleeve-- priced 50% off.

Exclusive: Marc by Marc Jacobs Trunk Show at Nordstrom.com
2008-02-23 23:00:00
Marc by Marc Jacobs "Racquel" Tee$168.00Available at: nordstrom.comI had a dream about Marc Jacobs last night. Seriously. I dreamt that we were roommates during one of the big fashion weeks. Like college dorms meet Vogue, with a lot of champagne thrown in. I don't remember which fashion week, but I feel that it was New York because, in my dream, we had a conversation about how Marc was born in the States, but now lives primarily in Paris. It was one of those fabulous dreams full of fashion and glamour. Coincidentally, the Marc by Marc Jacobs Trunk Show has just arrived online exclusively at Nordstrom . A sign on top of a sign, perhaps? I think I need to shop.The new Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring line is just as colorful and quirky as we have come to expect from Marc, but with a slightly more ladylike flair than previous seasons. The dresses vibe '60s-chic and the tops are full of buttons and bows. Wearing head-to-toe Marc would feel way overdone for those of us living in the real worl...

FOUND: Jessica Alba's Sweet Sweater Dress
2008-02-21 21:52:00
photo: instyle.comThere are so many pregnant starlets right now that you'd think being with child was the new black. But, if we've all learned one thing from the recent Hollywood baby boom, it's that being pregnant no longer means babydoll tops, mu-mus, and elastic panel pants. The new young mommies-to-be are proving that pregnancy can be just as hot and stylish as life in sample sizes. The secret seems to be eschewing the maternity department in favor of forgiving "regular clothes" from today's hottest designers.For a great example of this anti-maternity clothes look, check out this recent picture of super cutie Jessica Alba . Pairing a trendy sweater dress with dark tights and a fun scarf makes for a look that can be worn by future moms and everyday fashionistas alike. And, there's not a single piece of maternity wear in site.linQ Pintuck Dress $198.00Available at: blueheavenboutique.comWant to steal Jessica Alba's anti-maternity style?

Lesa Wallace "Kaila" Handbag $218.00Available at: couturecandy.comIn my mind, nothing says summer like turquoise accessories.

Intervene Foundation $36.00Available at: elizabetharden.comI've had an odd relationship with liquid foundation over the years. It's tempting to dub it a love-hate relationship, but that would be generous. It's been more of a tolerate-hate relationship.Generally speaking, there's nothing like a full face of foundation to age a woman. This was fine in my younger years. The insta-aging was a fabulous side-effect of the inhumanly flawless face. Just after turning 21 I realized that looking older wasn't necessarily a good thing. I shunned foundation in favor of strategically applied concealer. Life was good. Then I hit the big 3-0.Seriously, it was like someone hit a switch. My once even toned skin was now ruddy around my nose and chin. The darkness around my eyes that once seemed like an exotic genetic gift from my Italian grandmother now just made me look tired.

photo: instyle.comAlthough I try to stay up on the major pop culture trends, sometimes I do slip a little. After all, there are only so many hours in each day. For example, I watched One Tree Hill for the very first time just a couple weeks ago. I can definitely see why it is so popular. Soapy story line; beautiful people. My major One Tree Hill revelation: I adore Sophia Bush. I'm not sure I'm supposed to, as her character seems to be the "bad girl" of the bunch, but I adore her all the same. Since my first episode I've become much more aware of Sophia's off-screen comings and goings, and it turns out that she has really good fashion sense. At the recent Old Navy show she was spotted wearing a one shoulder little black dress that was both chic and simple. A wonderful choice for a fairly casual, yet very celebrity-heavy show.Castle Starr Bubble Dress $309.99 (was $575-- save46%!)Available at: bluefly.comWant to steal Sophia Bush's chic little black dress style?
