From Ashley Cole to Tiger Woods, it seems that even celebrity men can’t avoid the cheating bug. And while it should be reassuring that it’s clearly nothing to do with us, or any lacking on our part, instead it feels like cheating is everywhere. It’s a worrying trend, but it’s not a new one, and I’ve been studying up on ten hot celebrity women who bounced back from being cheated on…

1. Sandra Bullock

I’ve always admired Sandra. She has a great sense of humour, and is an amazing actress. So I’ll admit I was very shocked when it came out that her husband had cheated on her with a very tattooed woman. However, she is already working on her next movie, and is regularly nominated for awards. With or without him, Sandra is one unstoppable woman!

2. Elin Nordegren

Tiger and Elin always seemed very together, so when it emerged Tiger had been having an affair, it was shocking news to say the least. The media’s response was just as shocking, reporting arguments and even that Elin had hit Tiger with a golf club! Tiger eventually made a public speech declaring this as untrue, and apologizing to his wife and family for his behaviour. He then took a sabbatical from golf to spend time making it up to her, and despite reports that she was consulting a divorce lawyer, they were spotted looking loved up at recent golf tournaments. Elin also has a modeling career, which is going from strength to strength.

3. Jennifer Aniston

Who could forget Brad’s affair? While filming “Mr. And Mrs. Smith,” the media went wild with reports that Brad and Ang had gotten very close, but Jennifer and Brad were Hollywood’s dream couple, and no one could imagine them splitting up. So when the news broke that Brad had left Jen, most people couldn’t believe their ears. Jen has gone from strength to strength, though, and has been in many successful films and dated some of the hottest men in Hollywood.

4. Reese Witherspoon

America’s Sweetheart seemed to have the perfect family when she married Ryan Phillippe and had two beautiful children with him, but it wasn’t enough to stop him from bedding a co-star. Not one to be messed around, Reese said goodbye to seven years of marriage, and is now starring in amazing movies and bringing up her children. And looking amazing to boot!

5. Sienna Miller

I’ve always wanted to look like Sienna! She’s mastered blonde hair and pale skin, and oozes sophistication and gorgeousness. So it’s no wonder the gossip columns went into overdrive when Jude Law admitted sleeping with the couple’s nanny. Sienna and Jude split up 9 months later, and Sienna enjoyed a string of relationships that she said ‘helped her grow up.’ They’ve been spotted together again recently, and looked very happy, so I’m crossing my fingers that there is a happy ending for these two!

6. Elizabeth Hurley

Elizabeth and Hugh got together in the 1990s, and were a couple who were always snapped out and about together. When Hugh’s movie “Four Weddings And A Funeral” became a global success, he took Liz to an L.A. Premiere, and she wore that amazing black dress held together with large safety pins that made her famous. In 1995, Hugh was caught up in a prostitution scandal, and although Hurley initially stood by him, they split after 13 years together in 2000. Hurley has had a successful modelling career since then, being the face of Estee Lauder, and the godmother of the Beckham’s children!

7. Halle Berry

Being one of the sexiest women in the World hasn’t helped Halle, who has been married twice. She married Eric Benet in 2001, after meeting him in 1997, and adopted his daughter India. The couple split in 2005, with Eric blaming his infidelities on a sex addiction. It hasn’t stopped Halle, though, who campaigns for a domestic violence charity, and has a daughter.

8. Sophia Bush

Sophia and co-star Chad Micheal Murray seemed to be a match made in heaven when they met on the set of One Tree Hill, in 2003. They married in 2005, but split just five months later, with Sophia admitting to being ‘humiliated’ by Chad’s cheating. I’m glad I wasn’t on set with them afterwards… Sophia has gone from strength to strength, though, starring in “The Hitcher,” “John Tucker Must Die,” and “The Narrows.”

9. Uma Thurman

Uma’s personal life became very public when her husband admitted to sleeping with their babysitter, and male babysitters became much more popular as a result! The couple married in 1998, with Uma making no secret of the fact that they had hurried the wedding due to her being heavily pregnant. They had two children together, before splitting in 2004. While Uma has kept relatively quiet about the cheating, she’s stayed just as quiet about her alleged relationship with Quentin Tarantino, refusing to confirm or deny reports of romantic involvement. Her popularity sky rocketed after “Kill Bill,” and she’s rumoured to be acting in the Muppets film this year too!

10. Christie Brinkley

One of the most famous infidelities, Christie and Peter Cook met in 1979, and they married in 1996. They appeared to be a faultless couple until 2008, when Cook admitted to sleeping with an 18-year-old he met at a toy store, and to an internet porn addiction. The divorce case was well documented, with Brinkley giving Cook $2.1 million dollars in exchange for 18 properties and custody of their two children. She now does a lot of work for charity, and recently received a “Mother Of The Year” award.

While these stories aren’t feel-good, they serve as a helpful reminder that cheating doesn’t have to be the end. Whether you can forgive or not, life always gets better, and you could even find yourself more successful afterwards! They also show that cheating has no reflection on the victim, and only demonstrates a fault with the cheater, which its important to remember if you’ve recently found out you’ve been cheated on. Can you think of a celebrity whose bounced back from being cheated on? Please let me know!

So far it looks like it’s only available in black/grey at net-a-porter, but I’m dying to see what other colors it comes in.

Z, have you seen this out in any other colors? I thought I saw it in a blue somewhere. Could be wrong though.

BTW, the De-Mante also comes in leather. But of course I’m all for the skull nylon print!

Sahara – I love this creamy nude shade!!

Each retail for $165.00

1. Kylie Minogue

Kylie was seen wearing these pair of  oh-so-fun white shorts at the St Pancras International station. She really knows how to travel in style huh? And then there are my oversized sweatshirts and “travel pants”. I need me some of that high waisted goodness!

My verdict: Love it!

2. Jessica Alba in Dior

Look who looked deliciously feminine in a floral Christian Dior strapless number at the Dior fashion show in Paris.  The weave belt and white Dior sunglasses complete the dress making it look effortlessly summery.

My verdict: J’adore!

3. Jessica Alba in Chanel

Of course, no one…not even Jessica Alba gets it right every time. I do love that Chanel dress but paired with that red belt and the black shoes (It doesn’t matter that they are Louboutins) and that hair-do (or lack of it) make me go why Alba why?!

My verdict: I guess everyone’s allowed one faux pas.

4. Elizabeth Hurley

Elizabeth wore a gorgeous Versace gown to to Elton John’s annual White Tie and Tiara Ball with her trademark thigh high split and excessive cleavage. Is this where Blake Lively gets her inspiration from?

My verdict: I’m not saying Liz doesn’t look gorgeous but no one likes a one trick pony.

5. Natalia Vodianova

Sometimes the romantic deep inside me can’t help but fall in love with ruffles. In fact, the more the merrier! I think Natalia looks absolutely stunning in this strapless nude Valentino mini dress. The only thing I’d probably change are those shoes. They’re just a little boring, don’t you think?

My verdict: As my sister would type, “<3 <3 <3!”

6. Ashley Greene in Azzaro

I have been following Ashley Greene’s looks for a while and she almost always seems to go for something too old for her. Case in point: this full sleeved Azzaro Pre-Fall 2010 dress that she wore to the Belgium premiere of  The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. You’re 23 Ashley and you have a long way before you need to resort to matronly dresses like this. Stick to younger looks please?

My verdict: Ashley Greene and Liz Hurley should exchange dresses.

See all photos of Ashley Greene in Azzaro.

7. Ashley Greene in Michael Kors

Case in point 2: This Michael Kors look she sported at a photocall in Madrid. What makes it worse is that hideous hairstyle!

My verdict: Fire your stylist. Also send your hairstylist back to whatever era he/she came from.

See all photos of Ashley Greene in Michael Kors.

8. Bryce Dallas Howard

I’m so excited about watching Bryce in the newest installment of the Twilight series. Something tells me she’s going to be fabulously evil in the movie….almost as fabulous as she looks in this Christian Dior lemon gown at the premiere at L.A. And I’m not even a fan of yellow!

My verdict: Red hair+ gorgeous yellow gown= divine!

See all photos of The Eclipse Premiere in L.A

9. Marion Cotillard

Is that a bed sheet, a curtain or just one heck of a fugly dress? Actually it could serve as any of the three but at the premiere of Inception in London, Marion chose to wear it as a dress with even uglier shoes.

My verdict: Excuse me while I try to erase this from my memory forever.

See all photos of the Inception premiere in London.

10. Megan Fox

When I first saw Megan in this custom made Armani Privé red silk charmeuse cocktail mini dress at the premiere of Jonah Hex, I thought she looked spectacular! The dramatic red against the pale white of her skin creates a delicious combination that is hard not to like. But the more I stared, the more I realized that perhaps the makeup is a bit much, no?

My verdict: Go easy on the makeup hun. You are far too pretty to need all those layers of makeup. Besides, it’s going to do little to hide/change the words that end up coming out of your mouth.

11. Jared Leto

I almost did not recognize Jared in this “Back to the future” kind of look at the Dior fashion show in Paris. Although there is a certain fierceness to this trench, baggy jeans, moon boots and fauxhawk look, I really miss my old Jared with jet black hair, eyeliner and mysterious, dark  brooding eyes.

My verdict: I don’t care what the world says. I want my old Jared back!

12. Robert Pattinson

Surprise Surprise! Guess who finally managed to evoke a lustful gawk from me. None other than Rob Pattinson aka annoying Vampire Boy himself! He showered, shaved and looked absolutely delicious in this maroon Gucci suit at the L.A premiere of The Eclipse. Taylor who?

My verdict: He cleans up GOOD!

See all photos of The Eclipse premiere in L.A.

13. Leighton Meester in Chanel

I love me some Leighton but I really want to know what she was thinking wearing this Chanel long-sleeved leather dress. With the current heat wave in Paris, it looks downright uncomfortable and super duper hot (for all the wrong reasons).

My verdict: Again, everyone is allowed one faux pas.

See all photos of Leighton Meester in Chanel.

14. Leighton Meester in Oscar de la Renta

Spotted. Queen B in a gaspworthy, GORGEOUS Oscar de la Renta Vermillion Silk Organza gown while filming Gossip Girl in Paris. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a dress this divine and believe me when I say I’d kill for it. Of course, no one can do it as much justice as our darling Blair me thinks.

My verdict: I’m too busy falling in love to give a verdict on this one. Go away. Shoo!

See all photos of Leighton Meester in Oscar de la Renta.

My favorite look has to be Leighton Meester’s Oscar de la Renta dress. Can’t wait to see how gorgeous it looks onscreen! And my least favorite has to be Marion Cotillard’s curtain dress. What about you? Btw, if you’ve spotted any extraordinary looks (good or bad) on celebs lately, do leave me a link below in comment box…

After seeing a Dooney today for $4850 i wanted to see how much more expensive bags can get.

some of these are outrageous, while some are worth it…if only

The most expensive handbag on the list is the black crocodile Fendi B bag with a price tag of only $27,700.

Another one…the hermes Birkin created by Japanese designer Ginza Tanaka costs a whopping $1.9 million…

Chanels’ diamond satchel tote costs $261,000

NOw this is ridiculous:

The Louis Vuitton Urban Satchel Bag is created from all sorts of urban junk e.g. cigarette packets, water bottle, tea bags and band aid, the handbag is lavish and luxury fashion accessory with charms of beauty. It costs $150,000 for a bagload of garbage. I would not carry this even if i got it for free..

Even my favorite gal pal, Miss Marc, is featured in some of the designs! What’s special about this particular tote, however, is its very unique design! The front side of the tote is covered in a collage of canines! And they all have names too! So Marc, who is Duke? Or Sunny? Or Lulu? Or Miles? Were they dogs that you owned at some point? After all, the tote is called “Dogs of Marc”! But the only canine companions I am aware of are Alfred and Daisy, Marc Jacobs’s two bull terriers. Oh well, this packable tote is still a delight! And if you happen to be a dog lover, then this is definitely a must-have for you!

The Grant Large Nylon Hobo is one of the latest totes to hit the L.A.M.B scene. A puffy nylon silhouette is held together by an interwoven leather handle and decorated with vertical zippered pockets up front. Prior to L.A.M.B’s release, Maison Martin Margiela had this idea printed on their sketchpads first. Their version of the oversized Leather Slouchy Hobo lacks zippers up front (they’re actually built onto its sides instead), and features a sturdier silhouette; a more defined braided shoulder strap and cool tassel detailing.

Both feature a grey interior lining, additional zippers inside, and an eye-catching look that you wont run into too often. Margiela’s all-leather version retails for $995 versus L.A.M.B’s nylon bag that goes for a decent $225. I wouldn’t call either one a replica of the other, but they definitely got a pretty similar idea going on here. What’s your input on these tote bags, and which of the two makes your pick?

Introducing the Rebecca Minkoff Main Squeeze Clutch! Perhaps my favorite of the three bags that make up this particular group, the Main Squeeze Clutch is very similar in size to the MAC. The front of this of clutch is adorned by… not one… not two… but five buckles! The buckles are neatly arranged in a stair-stepping fashion, creating a diagonal line that moves from the upper left-hand corner to the lower right-hand corner of the bag. But these are not ordinary buckles. Nope, these babies have a stud-like appearance to them. Plus the buckles have double metal loops that remind me of the Rebecca Minkoff Stud and Loop Bracelet. Well, I guess if you ever wanted to match your bracelet to your handbag, then here is your chance!

It’s a simple little pouch with an amazing versatile gold chain. The longer strap can be used to wear the bag crossbody or simply as a shoulderbag. Done with that look? Remove it and sport as a wristlet by using the additional shorter chain strap.

Basics: available in ballet dancer (pink) or dust (gray) leather. Long chain, 24 1/2″ length, shorter chain wristlet 4″ length. Zip top. Two exterior zip pockets. Signature pink logo fabric lining. Body of the bag measures 5 1/4″H x 8 1/2″W x 2 5/8″D. retails for $198.

7. Teeze Me Rhinestone Bow Strapless Dress

Price: $38.90 at shop.nordstrom.com
Sure, with this dress, you are definitely going to be a “tease.” I like how the big bow is centered at the hip. Atop that bow, you have some eye-catching rhinestones. It ties at the waste and has a back zip closure.

6. Pink Silk First Date Spaghetti Strap Dress

Price: $249.00 at bluefly.com
This dress is not only fun, but it is flirty as well, which is perfect for a date night. It adds a lot of spark to your wardrobe. It has a slight sweetheart neckline. I like the spaghetti straps, which are adjustable.

5. Loy And Ford Chiffon Skirt Black

Price: $328.00 at bluebee.com
How cute does this look? I know for a skirt, it is a bit expensive, but it’s high quality! It has a metallic embroidered tulle that is layered over a sheer black chiffon. The layers of tulle give this skirt that puffy look. It is definitely a well designed piece and the closer you look at it, the more you will find it pretty!

4. NU Collective Ruffle Halter Bib Dress

Price: $86.50 at shopmanhattanite.com
This is a cute dress, don’t you think? NU Collective is known for draping fabrics in order to make them shine and move. If you are a big fan of NU Collective, then you will like this dress. Some popular celebrity fans include Nicky Hilton, Paris Hilton, Hayden Panettiere, Lindsey Lohan and Hillary Duff. This ruffle dress is both sweet and sexy.

3. Military Stub Jacket

Price: $22.80 at forever21.com
If you think the night is going to be a bit chilly, then why not put on a casual jacket with military details at the chest? I think this would look good for a date night. You never know if the restaurant you are going to is going to be cold.

2. Daisy Dress

Price: $180.00 at couturecandy.com
This is a cute dress that would look stunning on date night. If you have a first date sometime in the near future, then this dress will surely set a good first impression. It’s great for the eloquent restaurant or any evening event you plan on attending during the date.

1. Sexy Evening Dresses by Atria

Price: $284.00 at edressme.com
I just had to include this dress as number one. It has rhinestone details on the bodice and straps. The back is a sexy crisscross open back. It is strapless bra friendly! So, you won’t have those bra straps peaking out from under it. It is floor length, but all in all, I think it makes a great evening piece. Don’t you?

There you have 7 cute things to wear on a date. Particularly, I am aiming at a fancy evening date, which should be your first date. Go out someplace nice to eat and then see where love (or no love) takes you in life. So, do you have a date coming up in the near future?
