Get Vanessa Hudgens’ Chic, Carefree Look

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAt this year’s MTV Movie Awards, Vanessa Hudgens looked absolutely stunning in a beautifully breezy summer-ready ensemble. For Vanessa, it’s always all about the accessories. The actress wore a gorgeous tangerine dress from BCBG Max Azria, adding a unique edge with tribal-inspired beaded Jimmy Choo sandals, a sleek Nancy Gonzalez box clutch, gold bangles, and two necklaces- one short, and a long pendant necklace from H. Stern for Diane Von Furstenberg (a signature piece she is rarely seen without). This look is perfect for your summer soirees and can be dressed up or down to fit any occasion. You can pile on the accessories like Vanessa, or keep it minimal. If there is a lesson to be learned, it’s that you should always incorporate your unique style to any ensemble.

Rock A Hot Pink Frock Like Blake Lively

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAt this year’s CFDA Fashion Awards, the beautiful Blake Lively made a show-stopping splash wearing a hot pink strapless dress by Michael Kors. Given the bright hue of the dress, Blake kept the rest of her ensemble on the subtle side with a pair of nude Christian Louboutin pumps, and some stunning jewelry pieces from Lorraine Schwartz including blackened gold and diamond hoops, a black jade and diamond ring and a blackened gold diamond mesh ring. Hot pink was without a doubt the shade du jour on the Spring 2009 runways, as seen at Badgley Mischka, Matthew Williamson, Doo. ri, Christian Dior, and many more, and the neon-color trend will be even more potent with the eighties revival on the horizon for Fall. Blake’s strapless style is both fashion-forward and classically chic, definitely perfect for summer soirees! Check out my SLIDESHOW for 5 styles similar to the one she sported.

Go Sexy-Sleek Like Leighton Meester

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAt the CW Upfronts, a blonde Leighton Meester demonstrated how to rock the menswear trend the right way by perfectly balancing sexy with sophisticated. The Gossip Girl star paired a structured black blazer with a pair of black shorts- both by Jil Sander– and gave these timeless style staples a modern edge with some seriously funky Brian Atwood pumps, adding a dose of sex appeal by showcasing her gorgeous gams. To maintain the minimalist, sophisticated motif, Leighton refrained from accessory overload, adding just a touch of glitz to her look with two subtle, yet stunning, rings worn on each hand- the perfect finishing touch to this seriously chic look. The short suit is a perfect alternative to the pantsuit for summer and can work from from the boardroom to the bar and be sexed up or toned down to suit any occasion.

Solange Brings Retro Sound And Fashion-Forward Style In “Sandcastle Disco”

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageSolange Knowles is making a name for herself in the music world, finding her own niche and style. Back in the Destiny’s Child days when big sis Beyonce, was busy becoming a household name, Solange was also trying her hand at music. She made a few cameos in videos, but she really just came across as a mini-Beyonce. Her style was a junior and less sassy version of her older, more famous, counterpart. Whoever marketed her music saw the success of Destiny’s Child and the hip-pop/ R&B sound and tried to emulate that in Solange’s image. Solange was able to gain a little recognition, but was still mostly recognized as “Beyonce’s sister.” After laying low in music for a few years and only modeling for the occasional Dereon ad (an urban streetwear company headed by Beyonce and their mother, Tina Knowles), Solange has returned with her catchy, retro-soul album named Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams. The songs have an old school feel with trippy beats and a tint of funk and blues. The music is tight, the lyrics are sincere and the beats get you moving. Her style, however, is the biggest and most pleasant surprise. From bright colors, extreme details, fashion-forward silhouettes and risk-taking ensembles, Solange shows that she has grown into her own woman and is setting the standards for her own sound and style. Check out the colorful, fun and fabulous looks of rompers and dresses in Solange’s video for “Sandcastle Disco” and then check out the slideshow to see how you can adopt her look into your own everyday wardrobe!

Celeb Style: Go Sexy and Sophisticated Like Audrina Patridge

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageHills star Audrina Patridge has definitely been making some noteworthy improvements in the style department and has been looking increasingly more fab and fashion-forward in recent months. At the Maxim Hot 100 Party, Audrina struck the perfect balance between sexy and sophisticated. The reality star showcased her killer legs in a midnight blue Doo.ri minidress teamed with jewel-encrusted Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain sandals and added some sleek sophistication to the look with a black Kris Van Assche tuxedo jacket. She accessorized with a chic Alexander McQueen clutch and kept the jewelry to a minimum with a subtle necklace and ring, to keep the look from being too cluttered (with shoes like that, you definitely don’t need to go accessory-wild!). I loved this ensemble because in addition to being ultra chic and wearable, each piece is super versatile, definitely something I always like to look for in my purchases.

Rock a Little Red Dress Like Sienna Miller

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAt the New York premiere of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, fashion trend-setter extraordinaire Sienna Miller showcased a sleek, sophisticated style that was still undeniably sexy. Sienna looked absolutely radiant in a ravishing red dress by Marios Schwab which looked especially sizzling with her matching red pout. She completed her look with Roger Vivier black pumps and opaque tights, leaving the accessories at home and letting this standout dress do all the talking. The LRD (little red dress) is a fabulous alternative to the classic LBD, especially for a night when you wanna get in touch with your inner sexy siren. The key to rocking this style is to keep it minimal, like Sienna, and balance out the inherent sex appeal of the look with more pared down accessories. Photo credit: PR Photos

Go Edgy-Chic Like Emma Roberts

Posted in: Uncategorized

At the 14th Annual Gen Art Film Festival “Lymelife” Premiere, budding fashionista Emma Roberts rocked a fabulous look that combined uptown glam with a downtown-cool edge. Emma demonstrated stellar mixing and matching, teaming a black sequined Monique Lhuillier tank with light-wash bell bottom jeans from Current/Elliot. She made the look more night-time appropriate with a pair of black pointy Stuart Weitzman pumps, a beaded Chanel necklace, and a sleek pea-coat to fend off the outdoor chill. I absolutely love how this look is sexy, but in that very rare, effortless sort of way that makes it super sleek as well. Check out my SLIDESHOW to get this fabulous look!

Influential International Style: Alexa Chung

Posted in: Uncategorized

Sometimes, when you see a girl with seemingly effortless style that you know you would look ridiculous in, even if you were wearing literally the exact same clothes, it can make you jealous. Okay, maybe that’s just me. But in the case of British model/television host Alexa Chung, it just makes you want to be her slightly less cool friend. Having modeled for the likes of Urban Outfitters, Antipodium and Vivienne Westwood, it figures that her style boasts eclectic choices as well as informed classics. Think mixing white t-shirts with fancy shorts and a simple tote bag, pairing it with messy hair and actually not looking insane. She takes experimental choices on red carpets, always, always dresses for her own body, and always looks comfortable in her own skin. Check out my slideshow for ways you can mimic the lovely Alexa Chung’s style and maybe someone will want to be your slightly less cool friend!
