Give Stripes A Fashion-Forward Spin Like Nicky Hilton

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAt the Beverly Hills launch of the Paris Hilton hair and beauty line, Nicky Hilton rocked this season’s strong shoulder trend to perfection with a look that was fun, sexy, and statement-making without being too dramatic. Nicky gave her look a nautical spirit with a striped tunic dress which she topped off with a tuxedo jacket. Given the standout nature of the jacket, she kept everything else minimal, accessorizing the look with patent Yves Saint Laurent platform pumps, a matching black patent clutch, and a dainty Chanel beaded necklace. I love how Nicky teamed a basic, wear-anywhere tunic with an of-the-moment item- it definitely elevated what could have been a very standard, run-of-the-mill style into so much more. Check out my slideshow to get the look!

Rock Sexy Shorts Like Jessica Stroup!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAt the GQ Men of the Year party in Hollywood, “90210” star Jessica Stroup looked polished and chic. Jessica showcased her stunning gams with a pair of glittering shorts by Amber Valetta for Monrow and sexy Jimmy Choo booties. She offset the sexiness of her short-shorts with a slightly loose satin top and slightly slouchy black blazer- both by Monrow. To keep the look on the minimal side, she abandoned accessory excess, finishing the look with a just compact box clutch. Shorts are a fabulous alternative to miniskirts, in a not obviously sexy kind of way. This look would also look amazing with black tights, for a more cold-weather friendly outfit. Check out my slideshow to recreate this dazzling look!

Make Sequins Sexy and Sophisticated Like Nikki Reed

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageNew Moon star Nikki Reed hit the red carpet of the Hamilton Awards looking absolutely dazzling. Sequins are going strong this season and Nikki put her own spin on the look, pairing a gold Nanette Lepore sequined dress with a vintage tuxedo blazer. She added a bit more glitz to the the standout look with diamond bracelets by Dana Rebecca Designs and rounded out the mix with sexy zipper pumps and a sleek clutch (both from Jimmy Choo). This look is perfect for just about any holiday fete, from an office party to a cocktail party. The key thing to remember when rocking something sequined is to keep the rest of the look fairly basic.

Get Charlize Theron’s Sexy-Sleek Look

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAt the 13th Annual Hollywood Awards Gala the always striking Charlize Theron was a true vision in black. The bombshell paired a sleek leather skirt with a strapless top from The Row, creating a sexy yet sophisticated silhouette. She injected touches of color into the look with a Bottega Veneta clutch, a pair of diamond-accented pumps and a turquoise ring. By taking a minimal approach to the accessories, Charlize kept the look polished and chic and allowed her natural beauty to really shine. A leather pencil skirt is definitely a must-have this season and is super versatile. Wear it with a sexy top like Charlize or tone it down by teaming it with a billowy blouse or a sharp blazer.

Video Style Steal: Carrie Underwood’s Boots Walk All Over This “Cowboy Casanova”

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageCarrie Underwood has come a long way since her “small-town girl with the big voice” image on American Idol. Lucky for that image of hers, she’s ditched the demure deer-in-headlights look and swapped it for an assertive attitude to match her sultry voice. I guess a load of confidence is easy to come by when you have a series of hit singles and Chace Crawford as your former arm-candy! Speaking of exes, in her latest video for “Cowboy Casanova,” Carrie hits the saloon looking retro-fabulous to warn girls about a bad boy’s particularly womanizing ways… and shows him a thing or two! Don’t forget — Halloween is officially in the dust, so don’t go full-on saloon girl when you try this look. Instead, stick to inspired pieces like a bustier dress, cute leather booties, and feather accents that only hint at Carrie’s costume-y video. Watch the video, and then check out the slideshow to see how you can go western without looking like you stepped out of a time machine.

Get Vampire Diaries’ Actress Kayla Ewell’s Hot Pink Party Look!

Posted in: Uncategorized
image“Vampire Diaries” actress Kayla Ewell isn’t afraid to rock hot pink on the red carpet. The dress she donned at a special screening of “The Fantastic Mr. Fox” at the 2009 AFI Fest Opening Night Gala is proof that you can wear neons and metallics in the same outfit without looking like you’re headed to a rave. The dress (which I am unfortunately unable to identify, despite a frantic Google search) was part pink, part pared-down, thus providing an ideal backdrop for her stunning accessory of choice: a pile of knotted, dangling silver chains. Black nail polish and a silver clutch added the party-perfect finishing touches. The main point to remember in making this look work is to keep a balance- the metallic part of the dress was on the matte side, while the necklace brought a flashy element. Click on the slideshow to shop affordable pieces inspired by Kayla’s outfit! Photo credit: PR Photos

Video Style Steal: Alicia Keys Is Sad But Sultry In “Doesn’t Mean Anything”

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAlicia Keys has quite a lot of success under her belt for a woman at 28 (but then again, what else would you expect from a girl who was accepted into Columbia when she was 16?), with her shelf full of Grammy awards and four chart-topping studio albums. Aside from her musical growth (and ascending movie career), we’ve also seen quite a progression in her hairdo — from neat braids to unruly curls and now sleek and straight in her latest video, “Doesn’t Mean Anything.” But her hair isn’t the only thing that’s polished and chic. In a sparkly tunic, Alicia is classy as usual, and while she may be mournful and lonely in the video, I know I’d be much more cheerful if I had a hot pair of stiletto boots like hers! Check the slideshow to see some Alicia-inspired looks from her latest hit vid.

Go Classic Glam Like Gwen Stefani

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageFor the Fashion Group International’s Night of Stars in New York City, rocker Gwen Stefani was her usual fashionable and fabulous self but took went for a more subdued, sophisticated style. Gwen wore a halter LBD and added some shape to the look by cinching the waist with a black belt. She finished the look with black patent pumps, a black LAMB clutch, and a dazzling Lorraine Schwartz bracelet.This look was polished, chic, and sexy but in a subtle way. And unlike most of Gwen’s ensembles, it’s totally wearable and can work beautifully on anyone, no matter what your age or size.

Video Style Steal: Black Eyed Peas Take Fashionistas To Another World In “Meet Me Halfway”

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageThe recent Black Eyed Peas singles are overplayed enough for you to notice that their latest album is much more “futuristic”-inspired than their past party anthem compilations. And if you’re just about fed up with hearing the repetitive beats of “I Gotta Feeling” and the laser gun sound effects of “Boom Boom Pow,” you might be relieved that the third single, “Meet Me Halfway,” is considerably easier on the eardrums. But don’t worry — just because the relatively low-key tune isn’t exactly a club banger doesn’t mean it lacks room for drama. The video features the four members isolated in separate parts of the solar system, each looking for a way to reunite. For example, Fergie seems to be stranded in a long-lost dimension that resembles the set for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” decked out in a shimmery fairy princess gown. While the video wardrobe is pretty fantastical, you can still take a cue from their futuristic concepts to form your own modern explorer and fairy-inspired ensembles, thanks to the funky stylings of Fergie and Will.I.Am. Watch the video to get some intergalactic insight, then check the slideshow for some wearable wardrobe pieces!
