RE: Nicky Hilton's dress
Gypsy 05 Tamara mini dress, $156
Available for pre-order @ BoutiqueToYou
Look I love: Stephanie Pratt (!)
I know, I was alarmed as I wrote that title out.
Love? Stephanie Pratt?
It’s possible.
Her dark Ksubi jeans, lavender top and black booties really worked well together. The flowy top balances out the super skinny jeans and the platform booties (which I’m inclined to say are Steve Madden) add an unexpected spin; I would have expected strappy, flat sandals or ballet flats from her.
Cheryl Cole tries military
This could have been great had she not tied that giant, idiotic bow on her head. It doesn’t read as “I’m fashionable” but rather “I try too hard.”
I LOVE (capital) the way she styled the shirt with that belt, but the keyword in the title is tries because she failed when she tied that red bow on her head. This had success written all over it: the aviators, the...
Chloe Sevigny in Valentino Fall 2010
Chloe attended the Valentino cocktail party hosted by Kate Bosworth in this beautiful Valentino Fall 2010 mini dress.
I was surprised to see her in something so… dainty and frilly. All things considered this dress definitely suits her and while I’m not a fan of too much matching, I even like the Valentino booties she paired with it.
It’s nice to see her trying something new.
Saks hosts a party for emerging designers
The adorable Christian Cota (L) and Prabal Gurung.
I don’t know about you, but I really love to see what designers look like and how they dress themselves. It’s a great window into their world.
Whitney Port in Zac Posen Spring 2010
I like the dress itself quite a bit; it’s not an easy one to pull of but I think Whitney looks quite alright in it. She has the perfect, long and lean body for the length and silhouette. Still, I would have loved to have seen Nicole Richie in this.
The only thing I’m not crazy about is Whitney’s hair. Otherwise, this is better than anything I’ve seen from her in a very...
RE: JLo's RM by Roland Mouret dress
Aphrodite twist-detail dress.
Available at Netaporter International in white, I have yet to see it in gray.
Chopard celebrates 150 years: brings together...
Hmm.
Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Christina Ricci all showed up for the festivities.
I can’t say I’m particularly crazy about any of their dresses.
I wish Hudson had ditched that necklace and let the dress just be beautiful, because it is. I lovelovelove the back of Paltrow’s dress but that’s about it. Ricci should have gone for a nude shoe, the black is such a...
Kate Bosworth looks stunning in Valentino Pre-Fall...
Kate Bosworth hosted a cocktail party sponsored by Valentino and I must say, red leather pants never looked so good.
This look has a lot of sass and I love that.
I’ve gotta hand it to her, since Coachella she’s been looking great.
Rihanna fights the fog to film her latest music...
That Mara Hoffman dress is beautiful.
RE: Jessica Alba's Louboutins
Unfortunately I do not know the style name nor where to find them.
The only information I can offer is that they were worn on the Phillip Lim runway for Fall 2010. That being the case, my guess is they have no quite made their way into stores just yet.
Victoria Beckham shopping in Los Angeles
It’s great to see her in something besides pants and semi-formal dresses.
Love the Brian Atwood pumps, and I love that VB has essentially made Atwood’s shoes must haves since she used his shoes for her Fall 2010 collection and has been spotted wearing them nonstop.
Lindsay and the Wicked Witch of the East flee LA
It’s that time.
Lindsay is off to hide. And by hide I mean cover her face as she leaves Butter at 5am.
Jessica Alba continues looking hooooot
I’m honestly really impresed by her looks during this round of appearances.
They have been fun, thoughtful, flattering and chic.
All the dresses I’ve seen her in this last week: Jonathan Saunder mini dress, Chloe boho dress and lastly this leather LBD have been smashing successes.
Olivia Palermo in Prabal Gurung Spring 2010
I simply adore this look.
This is another great example of looking youthful yet put together, which Olivia should do more often.
I love the ostrich feather skirt, it’s very unique and the open back is sexy but tasteful.
This dress is fun and not a stuffy, floor length gown like Olivia likes to dress her tiny frame in.
I like the idea of the yellow clutch but I hate the gold...
Jennifer Lopez in RM by Roland Mouret
She stepped out in this beautiful gray RM dress to promote ”The Back-up Plan” in Germany.
A bit different from the ultra sassy glam we’ve been seeing but I love this lady-like chic just the same.
Lopez is on a roll.
Natalie Portman in Lanvin Spring 2010
We don’t get to see Portman as often as I would like but when she does show up she usually looks very feminine and quite darling.
This Lanvin dress from Spring 2010 was no exception. I like the belt she added but I’m not crazy about the strappy sandals.
She kind of has Rachel Bilson syndrome though. They’re both very naturally beautiful and rely heavily on that but I...
In case the Jeffrey Campbell sandals never show...
Delman tie-dye leather sandals in blue @ Bluefly
These also come in an array of other equally awesome colors.
Thank you TallGirlTales for submitting this great suggestion!
Heather Graham in L'Wren Scott Spring 2010
I had forgotten she even existed and then she pops up slooting it up at the Bent on Learning benefit in L’Wren Scott of all designers.
I think this is pretty lovely.
The dress is sort of delicate in between the flower detail, the color and the bow on the back but I think Heather breaks that up a bit and gives it a little vavavoom. I really like the shoe choice and am so relieved she...
Look I love: Nicole Scherzinger's casual shopping...
This has all the right elements: put together yet effortless while simultaneously stylish.
Fergie Ferg, slow your roll
This looked great until I saw the pants.
A bit much, even for Fergie standards. An easy (and great) fix would have been simple grey skinnies.
Look for less: Isla Fisher's floral print top
When I saw these photos of Isla Fisher and her adorable little one, Olivia, I remembered the floral blazer I saw over the weekend at Forever21.
Obviously different colors but the print really does resemble Isla’s top.
Right off the runway: Kristen Bell in Chanel...
Kristen Bell attended the Chanel dinner for the Tribeca Film Festival wearing Chanel, natch.
This is boring and uninspired.
As usual for Kristen.
I do like the shoes though.
Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals...
(Canadien Mathieu Darche hugs goalie Jaroslav Halak)
After being awarded the President’s Trophy this year for having the best record in the league, the Capitals have ended their season quite early with a 4-3 playoff loss to the Montreal Canadiens (who rallied from a 3 games to 1 deficit)
Boohoo, les pauvres.
Maybe next year boys.
In other news the Sharks have already fared better than...
Must have: wedge booties
Not the easiest shoes to pull of, but if you can manage, oh baby.
Doesn’t take the right “person,” just the right outfit.
My favorites right now:
Jeffrey Campbell - Montreal perforated suede booties (strange, but awesome) $158; Opening Ceremony - Platform wedge suede booties with open toe $472; Jeffrey Campbell - Tick wedge booties (a seasoned favorite) $200; Tashkeny by...
Rachel Bilson in New York
This would have been great if she had skipped the jeans underneath and paired with tights instead.
I am not a fan of the dresses over jeans look.
But, those Chloe booties. Love.
RE: Jeffrey Campbell Batik wrap sandal
I have been searching for these myself and have yet to find them in blue, I did come across the same pair in tan @ Free People and they’re on sale(!) for $89.95.
They’re still very cute in tan, but I have my eyes set on the blue. I if I come across them I will of course share and please, if you find them you will make me a very happy little girl :)
Jennifer Lopez looks fantastic as she continues her European tour of “The Back-up Plan.”
She has yet to disappoint and I am eagerly awaiting her next outfit.
Love this.
I love: the Prada Print Collection
In a truly delightful blast from the past, Prada dug through its archives and used select prints for this whimsical and adorable collection.
Set to hit stores in mid May and destined to be a top seller.
While I’m not a flats girl I am tempted to snag a pair (or a couple pairs) because they are just too cute and will be the perfect finishing touch for my more plain outfits.

Some of my current favorite necklaces:
Shopbop is a great outlet for jewelry because they have lots of designers that offer (for the most part) moderately priced, well made pieces.
Low Luv x Erin Wasson - Tribal necklace $95; House of Harlow 1960 - Resin necklace $125; Antik Batik - Anita necklace $94; Cecilia de Bucourt - Spike necklace $150; WGACA Vintage - Feather necklace $94; Ginette_ny - Hippie fringe necklace...

Hmmm….Gaga much?
These look like normal black pumps
But fashion forward Maison Martin Margiela has left a bit of leather that spills over the back of the shoe.
Bizarre but, somehow, enticing.
Available for $523 @ Farfetch

I love Rachel Zoe, I really do
But these Bottega Veneta wedges look heavy enough to act as a murder weapon. I don’t think I could lift my legs all day in these. Perhaps for sitting around looking pretty.

Um so, I wanted to show you guys that I wore my...
Michael Stars scarf, John Patrick Organic cashmere tunic, DvF blazer, Pedro Garcia booties
It was brisk this morning so I had to dig out my tights.
If you aren’t familiar with John Patrick Organic check it out here
Supremely awesome stuff.
Jessica Alba continues to impress me, and I once...
She wore this adorable, retro Jonathan Saunders Fall 2009 dress to celebrate her birthday in New York.
I’m even on board with the booties she chose.
I don't really care for ceiling eyes, at all, but...
He looks like Sonic the fucking hedgehog
Look I love: Ashley Tisdale's boots + shorts
It can be a tough look to pull off because the wrong boots will make it look like you’re going to a hoedown.
The sheer, oversized white shirt has to be my favorite pairing for the denim cut offs + boots look.
Well done Tizzy.
I wore my row of hearts connector ring today.
I love it.
But.
It’s slowing down my typing.
Gwyneth Paltrow wears Victoria Beckham again
She looked great in a VB Spring 2010 dress at a photocall for Iron Man 2 but I’m on the fence about this gold mini dress from Fall 2010 that she wore to the Bent on Learning Benefit.
She has such long legs that anything mini does a lot for her. I kind of wish she had worn it in the runway blue because it would have been a great pop of color. It sits weird on her and the detailing on the...
Nicky Hilton's Proenza Schouler PS1 bag
I didn’t think I liked this when I saw it at Barneys. Its’s not really my style but seeing it time and time again on Nicky Hilton it’s really growing on me.
$1,995 @ Barneys
New must have: white jean jacket
I actually really like their (very different) outfits.
Now I need to find a white denim jacket like Lo’s for summer. So perfect, why didn’t I think of it?!
I don't know who the fuck Demi Lovato is but she's...
If she hadn’t put her stupid purse in the way, there would be a better view of the whole outfit.
I love the mishmash she put together: leather shorts+gold blazer.
I can’t really tell if the shorts are leather or not. They kinda look like it, they kinda don’t. For her sake, I’m going to go with they are and give her credit for rocking the sweaty thighs.
YAY comfirmed:

Hilarlar: Paris Hilton and Ciara at Timbland's...
You can’t see it in these photos but Paris paired her black mini dress with suede Loboutin booties and it didn’t look half bad.
Rachel Bilson assumes her position as the Sunglass...
She looked quite lovely in Roland Mouret.
Kim Kardashian looks rough up close
There’s a 6” layer of make up that she could really do without.
Love Ciara’s Louboutin booties soso much.
Giving a gun to Lindsay Lohan is like giving a gun to three year old.
How irresponsible.
But real talk, I’m kind of digging these photos.

Adorable as ever in a pink suit and bright fedora.
She looks like she dumped a bucket of oil on her...
In case you had any doubt about how awful Heidi Klum’s hair really looked.
