This post brought to you by Lenovo. All opinions are 100% mine.

I not only love to steal the style of my favorite celebrities' designer fashion wardrobes. But I also love to listen to my celebrity singers' songs. In fact, right now, my favorite singer is Adele. Maybe it's because I can relate to her songs on so many levels (she must have had a lot of boyfriend problems, too!) or the fact that she is "above average" size yet feels comfortable about her appearance (in public anyway).

When I work at my computer, I will listen to her songs on youtube or blip.fm. When traveling, I listen to itunes on my iPad nano or iPad. And when walking for exercise, I listen to Pandora or  a music app on my Motorola Droid cellphone (as I haven't upgraded to an iPhone yet).

I am thinking of investing in a Lenovo speaker M0520 speaker system that includes a main speaker (shown above) with built-in amplifiers and a sub-speaker.  I would be able to attach to my laptop or desktop PC when I work, or I could even use it with any smartphone (my current Droid) or any MP3/MP4 player (like my iPod/iPad).

The Lenovo M0520 features a convenient USB connection with energy saving function, speaker wire spools for easy storage and uses 4 watts of power for high-quality full sound. And the red color looks super cool, too, so that's the biggest bonus for me. Who knew something so little could be so powerful?! I would really be ready to jam out to Adele's "Someone like you", "Set Fire to the Rain" and/or "Rolling in the Deep" now!

What do you use to listen to your favorite artist songs on?

Katherine Heigl has been a model since she was a child, and some of those years of fashion have rubbed off. Even today, when she is a busy actress and a mother, she still set the tone for everyday clothes that are comfortable and looks good.

You can steal Katherine Heigl’s style without spending a fortune by looking at the clothes combinations she is wearing, (which she probably got for free…) and duplicating them with clothes from less famous designers.

Look at how she wears her clothes instead of what brand she is wearing. For instance:

Lately she showed up with pink jeans, high heels and a cream color tunic. It all worked well together because of the shades of the pink and cream are from the same family and because of the high heels and her purse are matching. Simple accessories as a thin belt, tiered earrings and oversize sunglasses bought for $34, and you have the complete look.

Another look, for evening, was displayed lately in Los Angeles and combined dark skinny jeans, gray shirt, and a shiny silver sequin cropped jacket. The Yves Saint Laurent gray pumps in a similar shade to the blouse, make the ensemble complete. It works well together because the sequin jacket is toned down by the dark jeans and the casual blouse. Most of that look can be found in cheaper stores where you can buy a jacket for about $30, Grey Burnout t shirt for $70 and pumps for under $100.

It seems the staple of Katherine Heigl’s casual wardrobe are the skinny jeans which can be dressed up or down, worn with pumps or inside a boot. Those jeans give the appearance of elongated legs and can be duplicated with jeans from almost every maker, which are cheap and flattering.

Frames for eyeglasses change along with every other fashion accessory. Whether glasses are bought to aid in better vision or simply as fashion accessories, it is important to choose frames that flatter the face. Some types of glasses may look really attractive, but they may not look right on every person. The following points suggest the best frame styles for each face shape.

1. Oval Face
People who have oval-shaped faces should buy frames that are wider than average. Putting on frames that are longer instead of wider will only make an oval-shaped face look longer. If a person has a long chin, such glasses will also make a chin look longer. However, a wider set of frames takes away attention from the lower half of the face by making it look slightly wider.

2. Square Face
A person with a square-shaped face should choose frames that are round or oval-shaped. Glasses in the shape of a rectangle or square should be avoided. These glasses will only accentuate the square shape of the face. By choosing frames with a rounder shape, the face will look more balanced.

3. Round Face
Putting a pair of 1900s-style round spectacles on a round face may have been fashionable in that era. However, it does not look quite right. Compare such photos to those of a person with a round face wearing rectangular frames. The winner is clearly the rectangular frames. Most people who have rounder faces want to try to find ways to make them look a little longer, and wider rectangular-shaped frames work well for this purpose.

4. Heart Face
People who have heart-shaped faces with higher cheekbones can wear just about any style of frames. As a rule, it is best for such people to work with their eyebrow shapes. Rectangular or oval frames accentuate arched eyebrows. Rounder frames are better for people with straight eyebrows.

5. Triangular Face
Very few people have this face shape, but triangular faces are best suited with oval frames that do not stick out past the temples. However, if the jaw is wider than the forehead, wider oval frames are best. Although square frames may not look great with this face shape, they may work for some individuals.

The most important idea to remember is that frames should never match a person’s face shape. For example, a square set of frames will make a square face look sharper, and a round set of frames will make a round face look bloated. If the person’s eyes are close together, the lenses should be spaced significantly apart. For eyes that are set far apart, it is best to choose frames with lenses that are closer together. People with small faces should pick smaller frames, and people with larger faces should choose bigger frames. Although the mouth and eyes contribute the most to facial expressions, frames can alter the overall appearance of a face. The effect may be positive or negative, so it is important to choose glasses that will be beneficial instead of detrimental.

Pastels, tangerines, and neon colors are so in this season!  The best way to spice up your outfit this season is with a nice bag.

Satchels are a great piece this year, and luckily for you they’re available in the in shades for this season!  This bag (shown above) is perfect for this season. Come on, $10 plus shipping? You can’t go wrong.

If you’re a fan of Mulberry bags, you probably just died at the bag Nina Dobrev was spotted wearing at Coachella this year (also ASO Emma Watson too). Who can afford it though other than the celebs? This listing offers a great alternative. Not the exact same style, but same idea. The small style is perfect for when you’re running out the door with just your phone, money, and keys.

If you’re also a fan of their signature satchels, this bag is legitimately one of the greatest alternatives I’ve ever seen for such a great price! Look at the colors! Prefect for the season.

Envelope clutches are just the must have of the season. Enter “Fashion Envelope” clutches and you’ll just die when you see the options, the styles, and the colors! I couldn’t even chose which one to link, they’re all so cute!

Last but not least, everyone this season seems to have the Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag, but do we really wanna pay that $300-$400 price tag? This listing has a great alternative with a variety of colors. It’s not exactly the same, but you won’t feel left out of the loop while wearing it. Be a little different from the crowd.

eBay Tips:

• Always, always, always check the feedback. I coincidentally linked to many sellers in Asia. Asian sellers are known for scamming, so always check their feedback, the negative and positive ones.
• When searching other styles, you can find name brand ones opposed to the unbranded ones I’ve linked to. They’re going to be a lot more pricier, but way cheaper than retail. Don’t be afraid to search.
• Only use PayPal during the eBay transactions and make sure you only use eBay when you buy from the seller. If they ask you to send a payment directly to their PayPal, you cannot be protected by eBay’s payment protection.
• Keywords are the best way to search for the item you want. Be creative.

Every spring the runways bring us the hottest new styles for our closets and our faces. Makeup often makes as big a splash as fashion, and spring 2012 is no exception. The runways were full of makeup inspired by a mix of vintage, retro and futuristic, featuring everything from classic red lips to space-age glittery eyes. And it never takes long for the trends to make it from the runway to Hollywood. Here is how some of Hollywood’s major players are adopting spring’s must-have makeup.

Red lips: This iconic staple is back and stronger than ever, with 2012’s twist being a coral or tangerine undertone that makes the look pop in a totally new way. There’s just something about sumptuously red lips that almost drips sex, but Charlize Theron is able to tame this trend into the height of sophistication by pairing the bold look with simple, pulled back hair and minimal (if any) jewelry.

Cat eyes: It looks like that flirty flick of liner is making a big comeback, and Emma Stone is a huge fan. She sported a modern take on the classic cat eye at the Oscars and went for a bolder look at the Critic’s Choice awards.

Full brows: Say goodbye to tiny, pencil-thin brows. Spring is all about power brows, and no one sports the look more beautifully than JLo. This trend is a godsend to us fuller-browed girls and lets us finally give the tweezers a break. Can I get an Amen?

Sun-kissed cheeks: We’re not waiting for the dog-days of summer to show off a sporty, sun-kissed glow. Bright cheeks that look flushed and even a little sunburned were the rage on the runways. But if you think this look is only for casual events, check out how glamorous Eva Longoria makes this trend look.

White metallics: This bold statement highlights eyes and cheekbones, but can also be used in a creamy form to give skin a subtle light that seems to glow from within. In her usual bold fashion, there was nothing subtle about JLo’s application of this trend at the Golden Globes.

Pops of bright color:  From playful purples to sunny orange, a splash of bright color is one of the hottest trends this spring. And the stars just can’t seem to get enough of it. Check out how Mila Kunis, Ashanti and Fergie have all gotten on the juicy color bandwagon. – purple Mila Kunis; Fergie

Doll lashes:  Luscious lashes are definitely in style and spring’s doll-like take on the trend takes it to another level. Nobody is more suited to this look or takes it to bigger extremes than adorable, retro-styled funny girl Zooey Deschanel.

Glittery eyes: Glitter was taken to new heights on the runways with futuristic use of gold leaf and geometric designs. Although this trend might be to daring for us mere mortals, former Hogwarts witch extraordinaire Emma Watson has what it takes to pull off the extreme glitz.

Baby-fresh skin: Glowing skin that looks brand new and unmarked by sun or time is the complexion everyone’s after this spring. While it might take most of us a time machine and plenty of hydrating moisturizer to try to emulate such youthful radiance, Rooney Mara seems to have the look in the bag. Lucky girl!

The New York 2012 Fashion Week certainly has the fashion industry talking. From the amazing floral patterns by J.Crew to Donna Karen’s body hugging Haiti inspired dresses, this year’s fashion week definitely set fire to the ramp. While you may love Vera Wang’s addition to sport couture and Carolina Herrera’s stunning and chick black and white dress, you are probably not a fan of these items’ hefty price tags. Your choices are not limited to bankruptcy or frumpiness, however; many of the most popular and sexy items from this year’s Fashion Week are available in off-brand alternatives, allowing you to look great without breaking the bank.

From the Sorbet Separates range comes Calvin Klein’s simple and sexy peach dress. You can find a very similar outfit from Kohl’s. Designed by Lauren Conrad, this outfit is virtually identical to the Calvin Klein dress minus the accordion pleats. Cool and perfect for summer, the one shown above is priced at only $44 and can be paired with white or silver heels.

Carolina Herrera’s black and white figure-flattering dress with the red belt is part of the Lessons in Geometry range. Macy’s offers a very similar dress as part of its popular Alfani line. It costs only $83.99 and has the same shape-flattering effect as the Herrera dress, along with similar cuts and colors. You can complement the waist area with a red belt like the one in the Herrera’s ensemble by picking up a Style & Co. skinny patent belt in red for $23.98.

The beautiful lemony color of the blazer by Preen from the Sorbet Separates makes it truly to die for. Fortunately, Charlotte Russe offers a blazer in the same eye-catching color and style. This textured lemon drop blazer is priced at $39.99 and can be paired with formal pants and jeans.

The blue floral chiffon dress by Peter Som is from the Flower Power collection. Anne Klein’s maxi dress with macramé neck detail is priced at $149 and is very similar in design and style to the Peter Som dress, which was also worn by Rachel McAdams. With a slight fit at the waist, this dress is flowing and pretty.

The Out of Africa collection included the animal print swim suit by Michael Kors, with a very similar suit available from Victoria’s Secret. The firm control twist front one-piece in leopard print by Victoria’s Secret is beautifully designed to provide a sexy fit and is priced at just $152 — a must-buy for this summer.

The Tory Burch sequined striped dress is part of the Gatsby’s Got It line. This electric dress is great for a night out at the club; Papaya Clothing sells a similar dress for an incredible $17. With the same stripes and style, this dress will definitely turn heads.

Gatsby’s Got It line also includes the holographic sequined dress by Derek Lam, a unique item with a ton of personality and pizzazz. French Connection offers a very similar outfit for $221. Beautiful and sexy, this dress comes with a silk tie at the waist that gives it the perfect touch.

Shop today at these stores to enjoy Fashion Week 2012′s trends and styles at great prices. Pair the outfits with purses and kitten heels to create your own unique and varied look for every setting.

This season’s most trendy jewellery stays true to the bohemian style. Bohemian girls are dreamy and free-spirited. They have an appreciation for nature that extends to the way they dress up their own natural beauty. They are spiritual in an earthy sense; they value feeling connected to all things.

A bohemian reverence for nature and simplicity does not preclude one from wearing jewellery. It actually encourages girls to reflect their passions through what they choose to wear. A bohemian girl favours long, loose necklaces that hang down far below her collarbone. She will wear charms that hang from cords made out of leather or braided fibres. These charms will usually depict flowers or animals. The flowers are of simple design; they are not worn for their accuracy. They are worn for their colours and their meaning. Necklaces with simple charms on cords of varying lengths can be stacked on top of each other for a chic and carefree appearance.

Tribal jewellery is also seeing a major resurgence. Big clunky stones are featured in delicate silver or gold settings. Turquoise is heavily displayed in these kinds of items, whilst entire necklaces can be made out of black, red and white beads. Ornate jewellery works best when it is worn with subdued clothing. A statement necklace should not be worn against competing patterns. Unlike the animal and floral charms, tribal necklaces should be worn on their own.

Big rings can be worn on multiple fingers. Gemstones are increasingly popular with multiple rings adorned at the same time. The compliment of colours and styles reinforce the look and provide a vivid level of colours and tones this summer.
A girl can also display her sense of fun with cartoonish flowers and large false stones. Tribal and ethnic motifs lend themselves to rings particularly well. Necklaces bearing those patterns can be heavy, but a ring featuring similar patterns or settings is less obtrusive. The bohemian style is defined by loose fashions, and it is the jewellery that gives an outfit its definition and character.
