Seeing Red

Shoe designer Christian Louboutin, who is known for famously painting the soles of his shoes red, is suing Yves Saint Laurent for taking "his" idea and also painting the soles of their shoes red in their latest collection. YSL insists that they were in their right and were in no way trying to rip off Louboutin. Designer, Valentino has stepped in to defend YSL, saying he created a shoe with a red sole back in 1969...23 years before Louboutin even established his business.

 Although I do see Louboutin's side, it seems like this will be a tough case to win! 

The Queen of Hearts

Today would have been Princess Diana's 50'th birthday. In order of what would have been a milestone birthday if the princess wasn't tragically killed in a car accident, Newsweek magazine decided to feature Di on the cover. The magazine digitally aged the princess using photoshop, and pictured her walking along side daughter-in-law Kate Middleton.  

In my opinion, this magazine cover is wrong on so many levels. Tasteless, immoral and offensive. Instead of trying to imagine what the princess would have looked like, lets remember her how she was- an icon. Here is a look back at her most famous and iconic dresses: 

The "Elvis" dress by Catherine Walker

The dress she famously wore when she danced with John Travolta by Victor Edelstein

The head-turning "Revenge" dress by Christian Stambolian

...And lets not forget the most famous wedding dress in the world. Designed by David & Elizabeth Immanuel. So lets remember her how she was, humanitarian, fashion icon and Queen of Hearts.

Put On Your Dancing Shoes...

Woah! Shoe designer Christian Louboutin has taken high heels to the next level - literally. The French courtier has created an 8 inch pair of stilettos resembling pointe shoes. Louboutin said he was inspired to design the Swarovski-encrusted heels after viewing a performance by the English National Ballet....interesting!
 The pair are going to be auctioned off with several other designs, in order to raise money for the English National Ballet. 

Fit For A Princess!

Like the rest of the world, I too have an infatuation with Prince William's new wife, The Duchess of Cambridge. I am always excited to see what she is going to wear next! Kate conveys the perfect combination of classy, chic and trendy. Today the princess was pictured boarding a plane to Canada for her first official royal tour looking effortlessly gorgeous in navy.

If you want Kate's style and want to look like royalty, then heres how to do it:

Kate carried the navy blue Mulberry Polly Push-lock shoulder bag

Kate  sported the "Manon" dress by french designer Roland Mouret

Kate's Blazer is the Smythe Les Vertes One Button Blazer in navy.

Now go find your prince ;) 

Victoria's Secret..revealed!

Victoria Beckham has revealed that she will be expanding her fashion line and adding a collection of more "affordable"clothing. The collection will be known as "Victoria by Victoria Beckham". The line will range between $550-$1000...which is pocket change compared to the prices of her original line. 


Beckham said: 

"These are the kind of dresses I’ve been searching for. The perfect little summer dress, something that was fun, something that was girly, something that was easy to wear, something that would take you from day through the night. Where I am currently, I like a more modern attitude. Also, it means that I’m opening these designs to women and girls of all different shapes and sizes, people who maybe want something less tight and clingy and structured. It also makes it more comfortable for during the day. You can wear them with a pair of flats or a pair of heels and they look great."

start saving ladies!!!!

Goodbye Galliano!

John Galliano has been the creative director for Christian Dior for over 10 years now. Today he was fired after a video leaked onto the internet of him being anti-cemitic and claiming he "loves hitler".  Christian Dior released a statement earlier today saying:

"I condemn with the greatest firmness the comments made by John Galliano, in total contradiction with the essential values which have always been defended by Christian Dior."

Natalie Portman who is the face of Dior's latest fragrance and also a jew commented on the video saying:

"I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano’s comments that surfaced today. In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way. I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful."

Lea Lets Us Down :(

Lea Michele showed up to the Vanity Fair Oscar After Party on sunday night in a blue sparkly Roberto Cavalli gown. The only way I can describe this look is that it looks like the midnight sky threw up on her. Although I am just not a fan of the dress, it could have worked on somebody older and not as petite as Lea.

Retro Reese

Reese Witherspoon showed up to the Academy Awards looking retro and chic on sunday night. The starlet went with a simple Armani gown that was on everyones best dressed list. Her gorgeous up-do was a perfect way to compliment her flawless look!

Madonna = Fashion Offender

Madonna shocked us on the red carpet last night...and for all the wrong reasons. The star showed up to the Oscar's after party looking like a hot mess. Her daughter, Lola on the other hand looked edgy and adorable!

The Oscar For Best Dressed Goes To...

...MILA KUNIS! Mila ROCKED it on the red carpet at last night's 83rd Annual Oscar Ceremony. The black swan looked lovely in lavender in a gorgeous Elie Saab gown.

Go Gwyneth!

Gwyneth Paltrow looked stunning at the Oscar after party last night. She sparkled in a one shoulder Michael Kors gown that was absolutely gorgeous! Although I was a fan of her award show gown, she should have gone for this one for the actual ceremony. 

Get Your Cotton On

Looks like the price of certain outfits will be increasing this year. And the culprit seems to be cotton.

Apparently the price of cotton has more than doubled over the past year reaching a record high.

At the same time, the price of other synthetic fabrics has also risen by almost fifty percent due to a higher demand for blends.

According to the president of Strategic Resource Group, a US retail and consumer goods consulting firm, prices for clothing are expected to go up almost 10% in the upcoming months!

Might be time for a shopping spree now then before it is too late! 

Spice Up Your Life!

Ex pop star and now extremely successful fashion designer, Victoria Beckham has just debuted her new spring collection. Beckham's line is already doing remarkably well, even the princess-to-be Kate Middleton has said she would love to sport some of Posh's gowns on her honey moon.

Kim's Kollection...

To be honest, I hate it. 

Tina Takes a Turn!

FINALLY Tina Fey looks decent on the red carpet! This year at the 2011 Screen Actors Guild Awards, Tina Fey showed up in a gorgeous, red lace Oscar De La Renta gown. The 30 rock actress is usually on the worst dress list but this year I was pleasantly surprised! 

Go Tina! 

A Royal Flush

Golden Gowns...

 So tomorrow is the Golden Globes... The best part of the award shows is always the red carpet. I for one can't wait to see what this year's nominees will be wearing! Here are some of my favorite previous Golden Globe looks: 

Who do you think will rock the carpet at this year's award show?

Is it true..or is it the flu?

Kim Kardashian was seen out and about this week in Beverly Hills sporting an extremely plump bottom lip. The reality star immediately slammed reports that she had cosmetic work done, explaining that the reason she has a fuller lip is because she has the flu...hmmm?

Well, I doubt very much her permanent pout was a result of the flu, but props to miss K for thinking of the most ridiculous excuse..ever! What do you guys think? 

Critics Choice Awards...

Award season is here..yay! This year at the Critics Choice Awards many of the star's wowed us with their gorgeous gowns. Black Swan stars Milla Kunis and a pregnant Natalie Portman looked stunning in Nina Ricci and Gianfranco Ferre while Kim Kardashian and Emma Stone brought fabulousness to the red carpet wearing Vera Wang and Balenciaga. 

 Go girls! Who are your favorite red carpet looks?

Rachel Zoe Is In The Zone

Despite being preggers, everyone's favorite hollywood stylist Rachel Zoe is busy working on her new clothing line: 

Loving it!

SJP's Fashion Tragedy!

This saddens me. The usually fabulous looking Sarah Jessica Parker stunned the public yesterday at a movie premier for all the wrong reasons! Unfortunately the fashion icon is looking like a shambles: 

As the Carrie Bradshaw actress usually always looks beyond amazing, we will give her a get out of jail free card this time...

Tim Gunn & Weight Watchers

Everyone's favorite Project Runway judge, Tim Gunn is pairing up with Weight Watchers as a fashion expert for their weight loss program. Gunn will be advising dieters on how they can look fabulous and fashionable throughout their weight loss journey.


Tim declared:
"I am so proud to be working with Weight Watchers on this extraordinary project and was so inspired by the stories of wonderful success. Nothing makes me happier than providing guidance and tips to help people look great as they lose weight and get healthier. If getting fashion right were easy, everyone would look fabulous, but it can be challenging. The combination of the PointsPlus program and providing helpful styling tips is great because it helps people celebrate their new look and recalibrate their thinking about style, while finding an enhanced self-confidence."


I think its a great idea and a good way to boost dieter's confidence! Go Tim!

Red Carpet Fashion!

Award season is coming up...the most glamorous time of the year!
Its time for the good, the fabulous, the bad and the tragic!
Who are your picks for this years best and worst dressed?

Nip-Slip Situations...

OK ladies..we have all made some pretty horrendous fashion DONT'S in our time, but i'd have to say that these ladies' outfit selections are flat out offensive! If it can't stay up..then take it off!

Lindsay's Line...

I think we would all agree that Lindsay Lohan has had a rough year! After countless arrests and trips to rehab, the star is now making a comeback, starting by designing new footwear for her 6126 clothing line. The first sketches for the line were released today:

Lohan blabbed to people magazine:

"I took inspiration from old Hollywood glamour and added a modern edge. It was key to make comfortable, timeless shoes that can easily go from day to night and feel cool, chic and glamorous."

The collection is said to launch in the fall, priced at $100-$450. 

(In my opinion.. a little pricey considering the designs are far from original!) 

Good luck to ya girl!
