Video Style Steal: Jordin Sparks’ “S.O.S.” Is No Fashion Emergency!

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageOne thing that always seems to instill a little hope within me is seeing American Idol alumni actually making something of their temporary fame. It makes me think, “wow, maybe reality TV really does serve a purpose!” And what’s not to like about a down-to-earth gal from Arizona with a powerhouse voice making awesome music and managing to stay classy while doing it (’cause apparently that’s rare)? Jordin Sparks may only be 19, but she’s already making waves with her second studio album “Battlefield” and even has a few pre-AI modeling credits under her belt. But just because the girl has gospel roots and is most known for ballads like “Tattoo” and “No Air” with Chris Brown, it doesn’t mean she can’t go out and have a little fun. In her latest video, “S.O.S. (Let The Music Play),” Jordin shows off her sexy side… and exposes a backstabbing boyfriend while she’s at it! I recommend leaving the chain acrylic nails out of your outfit (how the heck does she text with those things on?), but you can look dance floor-ready with a shimmering sequin dress and embellished black heels like Jordin’s.

Video Style Steal: Miley Cyrus Gives “Party In The U.S.A.” A Cowgirl Kick

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageHannah or Miley? Blonde or brunette? Love her or hate her? Such questions often come to mind when the name Miley Cyrus is mentioned… and nowadays, especially with her new album on the rise, that’s quite often. And whether or not you enjoy the teen’s campy Disney roles, her musical stylings, or her knack for photo scandals, you gotta admit, “Party In The U.S.A.” is pretty damn catchy. While the video’s swing set settings and Miley’s tiny cut-off shorts and leather vest are a little unseasonably summery, I can’t help but get in the concert party mood whenever I watch it… and let’s face it — it’s never the wrong season for a dusty parking lot dance party! Click “See Video” to watch “Party In The U.S.A.” for yourself, then take a look at the slideshow to see how you can cop Miley’s cowgirl video ensemble. Photo Credit: MTV.com

Give An LBD A Fashion-Forward Edge Like Ellen Page

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAt the L.A. premiere of Whip It, actress Ellen Page looked chic, timeless, and simultaneously cutting-edge. Ellen rocked a long-sleeve Alexander Wang LBD (long sleeve mini-dresses are all the rage this season). She took this basic staple to the next level with a funky pair of Rachel Comey booties, an embellished Jimmy Choo clutch, and layered David Yurman chain necklaces. This look was totally on-point and is fashion-forward but still totally wearable. I love how Ellen toughened up a classic closet staple but still kept the look feminine and sexy. This look is definitely worth replicating for your next night out. Check out my slideshow to do it up just like Ellen!

Emma kept her look youthful with a pair of skinny jeans paired with a heather gray ruffled top. She dressed up the look with a sharp blazer, black patent pumps, and a simple cocktail ring.

Go Bold In Electric Blue Like Jessica Stroup

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageAt the Melrose Place launch party in L.A., 90210 star Jessica Stroup was definitely one of the night’s standouts. Jessica wore a gorgeous electric blue cowl-neck minidress from Jenni Kayne topped off with an embellished black belt. Given the high-octane color of the dress, Jessica refrained from adding more color to the mix, opting for a sleek black Sergio Rossi clutch and a killer pair of cutout pumps. Keeping it simple with regards to accessories, she cut it off at one gorgeous cocktail ring from Siera. A slightly slouchy minidress like this one is extremely versatile- wear it as a tunic and layer it over leggings or skinny jeans for a daytime look, or pair with opaque tights, pumps, and a sharp blazer for a sophisticated day-to-night style. You really can’t go wrong with this color either and it’s one of the few bright shades that flatters just about any complexion. Check out my SLIDESHOW to get this standout style!

Video Style Steal: Kristinia Debarge Works It In “Sabotage”

Posted in: Uncategorized
imageIf Kristinia DeBarge looks slightly familiar to you, don’t worry, you’re not going crazy. I watched American Juniors too — I’ll admit it — back when they still believed in inflicting Simon Cowell-like cruelty upon children… and Kristinia was quite the contender. She may not have made the winning group of singers (but let’s face it — it was probably for the best), but now she’s making it big with single girl anthems like “Goodbye” from her solo album Exposed. In the video for her second single “Sabotage,” she dons her darker side in a cropped moto jacket and textured tights, and shows off some sultry dance moves to boot. She may have first arrived on the scene years ago as a cute little crooner, but now she’s sexy, single, and stylish… and ready to kick some serious butt. Click “See Video” to watch “Sabotage,” then check the slideshow to see how you can cop one of Kristinia’s video looks! Photo Credit: MTV.com
