I Want That!... Keyshia Cole's Topshop Dress

2009-07-15T21:17:00.003-05:00

I've been MIA (sorry about that!), but I come bearing gifts, LOL. Remember that fab striped dress singer Keyshia Cole wore to the Atlanta Hawks playoff game? Well, I found it for you. If you've got some spare change, you can get this little number from Topshop for $90. This little dress would be a great addition to any summer wardrobe. You can dress it up like Keyshia with platform sandals, and a bright blazer. Or you can keep it casual, by pairing it with ballerina flats, and a cute necklace.

Keyshia Cole Does Stripes at the Atlanta Hawks Playoff Game

2009-05-13T02:54:00.003-05:00

I don't think Beyonce is the only one with a new stylist. For months now, R&B singer, Keyshia Cole has been rocking a more trendy, sophisticated style. At a recent Atlanta Hawks playoff game, Keyshia rocked a grey and white striped dress, paired with a robin's egg blue blazer, and platform sandals. The look is a definite departure from Keyshia's old style, but like with Beyonce's new look, Keyshia's still maintains her personality. Are you feeling Keyshia's new style?

Kerry Washington at the 2009 White House Correspondents' Dinner

2009-05-11T01:19:00.003-05:00

I'm sure this year's White House Correspondent's Dinner was filled with more celebs than the event has ever had. Actress Kerry Washington stood out among the celeb crowd in a strapless dress fearing a mermaid hem, and ruffle detailing at the waist. This isn't a look that can work for everyone, but Kerry does this dramatic dress justice, by keeping her hair, makeup, and accessories simple. By toning everything else down, Kerry is allowing her dress to take center stage. I like Kerry's Correspondents' Dinner dress, but do you?

Diane Kruger at the 2009 MET Costume Institute Gala

2009-05-06T01:49:00.002-05:00

While Diane Kruger didn't go all out like Rihanna or Leighton Meester, the actress looked equally as glam in her Chanel Spring 2009 Couture dress. Unlike her cohorts, though, Diane didn't take her look exactly off the runway. The dress was originally worn on the runway with a pair of sequin tights/pants, that Diane thankfully decided not to wear. Diane's resulting look is youthful and flirty, a welcome change from the other more avant garde looks of the night. I like over the top fashion as much as the next person, but sometimes less is more. Are you feeling Diane's MET gala look?

Rihanna at the 2009 MET Costume Institute Gala

2009-05-06T00:26:00.002-05:00

I can't decide how I feel about Rihanna's Dolce & Gabbana suit that she wore to the 2009 MET Costume Institute Gala. On one hand, I love that she's thinking outside the fashion box. But on the other hand, the suit is kind of overwhelming on Rihanna's small frame. The jacket, with it's oversized puff sleeves, seems 'heavy' on Rihanna. Of course though, this isn't a look that just anyone could pull off, and I think Rihanna comes as close as anyone could. Do you like Rihanna's MET look?

Leighton Meester at the 2009 MET Costume Institute Gala

2009-05-05T23:58:00.002-05:00

Call me crazy, but I liked Leighton Meester's Louis Vuitton ensemble at the 2009 MET Costume Institute Gala. I know some say the dress and the tights together are too much, but if you're going to go all out with your look, the MET Gala is the place to do so. I appreciate that Leighton is taking a fashion risk. And I especially like that it appears as though Leighton is loving what she's wearing. What do you think of Leighton's MET look?

I Want That!... Tyra Banks' Black Halo Dress

2009-05-04T15:06:00.003-05:00

Black Halo definitely had a hit on their hands when they came up with their "Jackie O" dress. This dress, in all its various colors, has been a staple on the celeb fashion scene for a couple of years now. With its figure flattering silhouette, and classic style, it's obvious why the "Jackie O" dress is still popular. Tyra Banks is the latest celeb to wear the Black Halo dress. Tyra recently rocked a caramel colored version of the dress to the New York Times Sunday 4th Annual celebration. If you'd like to have your own Black Halo "Jackie O" dress, you can get one from Chickdowntown for $345. We're in a recession, lol, but this one is worth the investment.

Helle Berry's Got New Hair

2009-04-22T14:24:00.003-05:00

The weather is getting warm out, so that means the celeb hair cuts are going to start making their debuts. Halle Berry premiered a shorter, highlighted, hairdo at the 2009 Jenesse Silver Rose Gala & Auction at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Halle, who's most famous hairstyle is probably the close cropped 'do she sported during the 90s, has recently been rocking long locks. But she switched it up with this shoulder length cut. While Halle looks great with any hairstyle, I've always liked her best with shorter hair. How do you like your Halle? With short, medium, or long hair?

It Looks Like Beyonce' Has A New Stylist

2009-04-21T03:47:00.002-05:00

I'm starting to think that maybe Beyonce has a new stylist. The singer/actress has been seen in and around New York lately wearing looks that are still 'Beyonce,' but are somewhat more pulled together than what she usually wears. Lately, her style has consisted of simple pieces-- jeans and a tee, for example-- that she dresses up with accessories. It's the accessories and shoes, like her nearly $3000 Louis Vuitton 'Spicy' heels or $11,000 her Balmain jacket, that keep Beyonce's new style, 'Beyonce.' It's a subtle change in her style, but it's one that's noticeable. Are you feeling Beyonce's new look? Or does Bey still look the same to you?

Zoe Saldana is Red Hot in Prabal Gurung

2009-04-20T03:34:00.003-05:00

Actress Zoe Saldana definitely made a daring fashion choice with this red Parabel Gurung Fall 2009 dress. Cast as Lt. Uhura in JJ Abrams' Star Trek, Zoe worked the 'red' carpet in this fabulous dress, while on the movie's European promotional tour. Her Parabul Gurung cocktail dress featured a layered skirt, and exaggerated pleated detailing at the shoulder. I love the dress, but I equally love Zoe's black strappy heels. With a dress this bad, Zoe kept her accessories to a minimum, wearing only a yellow gold and diamond pave Celtaura yellow gold bracelet, and matching diamond pave earrings.

Check Her Foot Work, Solange Wears Valentino

2009-04-17T02:49:00.000-05:00

Solange Knowles is known for taking fashion risks, and her looks are often hit or miss. But the chick is almost always on point when it comes to her shoe game. The Body Shop, in conjunction with MTV, have launched their "Yes, Yes, Yes to Safe Sex" campaign which features Solange as their spokesperson. The campaign aims to promote HIV/AIDS awareness among men and women under the age of 25. At a launch event held at Times Square in New York City, Solange rocked these fab aqua patent leather Valentino d'orsey pumps. The colorful heels instantly spice up Solange's jeans and tee look. If you love these shoes as much as I do, you can get them from Saks for $695.

Drew Barrymore Does Letterman in Giambattista Valli

2009-04-16T02:45:00.003-05:00

You gotta give Drew Barrymore props for stepping outside of the style box. The actress wore a black Giambattista Valli Pre-Fall 2009 to her latest appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. The off the shoulder dress, which features puffy sleeves and velvet detailing, isn't for everyone. But Drew wears it well, and it's her confidence that sells it. If you're going to take a fashion risk, you have to have attitude to make it work. If you're unsure about the look, then others will be unsure of it, too. Drew tops off her look with red lips, red nails, and a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti cut out patent sandals, which you can get from net-a-porter for a mere $650. Would you wear Drew's puff sleeved dress?

I Want That!... Chrisette Michele's Plaid Tunic

2009-04-13T00:05:00.005-05:00

Plaid shirts were all the rage this past season amongst celebs, and it appears that the trend isn't going anywhere. Singer Chrisette Michele was spotted at Jadakiss' album release party wearing this adorable Kimchi Blue buffalo plaid tunic. She paired it with jeans, a black leather jacket, and black knee length riding boots. If you'd like to add Chrisette's shirt to your wardrobe, get it from Urban Outfitters for $58.

What's Happening?... Lauren Conrad's Clothing Line No More?

2009-03-23T15:49:00.003-05:00

It looks like the recession is hitting everyone hard these days. Apparently Lauren Conrad is taking a break from her clothing line, The Lauren Conrad Collection. Citing the current 'economic climate' as the reason for the decision to pull the line, Lauren's people insist that it's only temporary. Her rep told the New York Post, "With everything going on in the economy and in her life, she wants to rework her line and offerings. She will make announcements soon." Personally, while I thought Lauren had some cute pieces in her line, overall it was grossly overpriced for what she was offering. Will any of you be missing The Lauren Conrad Collection?

Reese Rocks Rodarte

2009-03-23T01:08:00.004-05:00

Reese Witherspoon is known for wearing classic styles on the red carpet. So imagine my surprise when I saw pictures of her wearing this edgy Rodarte dress, from the Fall '09 collection. This is definitely a different look for Reese, and I have to say that she wears it well. I appreciate how she takes a dress, that is clearly outside of her style comfort zone, and still manages to make it work with her personality. I love the model's grey boots, but Reese's Balenciaga heels, are more fitting for her. How do you feel about Reese's step outside of her fashion box?

I Want That!... Beyonce's Diane von Furstenberg Bag

2009-03-19T22:02:00.003-05:00

The right handbag can make or break an outfit, and Beyonce' sure knows how to choose her bags. The 'diva' was seen leaving Patricia Field's rocking a gold metallic handbag by Diane von Furstenberg. The bag is made with strands of knitted metallic leather. The 'hobo' shape keeps it casual, but the metallic gold keeps it trendy. If you'd like to get your hands on this bag, you can get it from the Diane von Furstenberg website for a mere $995. Recession who? Lol.

Mena Suvari Dons Head to Toe Christian Siriano

2009-03-18T03:09:00.001-05:00

Christian Siriano has to be my favorite Project Runway winner. Not only does he have star personality, but he has the talent and designs to back it up. Actress Mena Suvari rocked a one shouldered Christian Siriano original, paired with Christian Siriano heels to USA Network’s “American Character: A Photographic Journey” launch event at NYC’s Stephan Weiss Studio. The one shouldered look is set to become a big celebrity trend for summer, and the pleated detailing on the dress is extremely flattering. Add to that the fab heels, and Christian has created a look for Mena that is both stylish, and fashion forward. Are you feeling Mena's look?

ETA: I just wanted to add that the shoes are part of Christian's fall collection for Payless. Yeah, I know, they'll be available at Payless!

I Want That!... Rihanna's Maison Martin Margiela Boots

2009-03-14T20:03:00.002-05:00

It's a nice thing to see Rihanna out and about smiling. The pop star was spotted belatedly celebrating her birthday along with the Carters (Beyonce and Jay-Z), and R&B star Brandy. Rih Rih may have had a rough last few weeks, but with the support of friends, she's still her usual stylish self, sporting these unique Maison Martin Margiela cut-out knee high boots. I know I would look horrible in these shoes, lol, but on Rihanna, they look great. If these bad boys are a must have for you, you can get the regular leather version from eLUXURY for $1,154, or the patent version from Barney's for $1,245.

Covergirls... Beyonce' Does Vogue

2009-03-14T12:45:00.002-05:00

Beyonce' Knowles is the April cover girl of Vogue magazine. I've always thought Beyonce is at her beautiful best when her hair and makeup is kept to a minimum, and that's just the look she rocked on her Vogue debut. Sporting a pulled back ponytail, minimal makeup, and a blue dress, Beyonce graces the cover of the mag's annual Shape issue. How do you think Bey looks on the cover of Vogue? And are you as surprised as I am that Vogue featured ladies of color on back to back issues of the mag (with March's cover girl being First Lady Michelle Obama)?

Fergie Goes Over to the Darkside And Colors Her Hair

2009-03-13T01:44:00.001-05:00

Along with her new marriage, Fergie has decided to rock a new, sleek brunette hairstyle. I think the dark color looks great on Fergie, but I just love her overall look here. The dark hair goes great with her tan dress, and the orange and black Jimmy Choo heels add a fab pop of color. Married life appears to be treating Fergie well, lol. How do you like Fergie? Blonde or Brunette?

Rachel Bilson Wears Fringe

2009-03-12T01:58:00.000-05:00

I'm a fan of Rachel Bilson's style, but I'm not feeling this fringe dress paired with grey tights, and black Christian Louboutin heels. I love the shoes, and even the tights, but just not with the dress. It's not the most figure flattering, and I think it makes petite Rachel look even shorter. Each of the individual pieces of Rachel's outfit are nice, just not together. If you owned Rachel's dress, how would you wear it? Or am I just not getting it, and Rachel's ensemble is in fact, fashionably on point?

I Want That!... Victoria Beckham's Alexander McQueen Dress

2009-03-11T02:48:00.000-05:00

I know we're in a recession, but I'd love to own this Alexander McQueen dress seen on Victoria Beckham. The trendsetting Spice Girl was spotted out to dinner with her husband David Beckham in Milan, wearing this fabulous black and white Alexander McQueen creation. I love how structured the dress is, which is a Victoria Beckham staple. If you'd like to own this bad dress, pick it up from Net-a-Porter.com for a mere $1600. I know, what a deal! Lol.

Trendy or Trying Too Hard? Kanye West and Amber Rose Do Fashion Week

2009-03-10T02:16:00.000-05:00

Kanye West has a new boo, and she's just as fashionably adventurous as he is. Kanye and Amber Rose were seen at the Stella McCartney fashion show in Paris, and Amber donned a black bustier top, paired with electric pink tights, and zebra accents. I always appreciate it when people step out of the fashion box, but when do you cross the line from being fashion forward to simply trying too hard? I haven't decided how I feel about Amber's look, but I must say that her sunglasses game is proper, lol. So what's the verdict? Is Amber a trendsetter, or is she doing too much?

Beyonce Goes Glam for Promotional Video

2009-03-09T03:13:00.000-05:00

It seems like exaggerated hips is one celebrity trend that refuses to go away. So far, we've seen it on everyone from Estelle to Jessica Alba. Even Cate Blanchett was seen on the red carpet wearing a Alexander McQueen dress that featured exaggerated hips. This time, it's Beyonce who's picked up on the trend. The self proclaimed diva was seen wearing a sequin gown that featured exaggerated hips, paired with black platform heels, while filming a promotional video for he upcoming tour. Beyonce is known for her natural curves, so it's interesting to see her play them up even more with this type of dress. Are you feeling the exaggerated hip trend? Are you feeling it on Beyonce?
