This look is a reader’s request…
Victoria Beckham has channeled a different kind of “spice” from the rack with this military inspired look. You too can have this look and for less than what “Posh” paid for her sunglasses.
The great thing about this look is that most of the pieces are closet staples, so it’s okay to spend a bit more on them. The gray jacket can also be worn with a skirt or dress pants for a work appropriate ensemble. Having a nice pair of darker washed straight washed jeans is something every closet should have as well; wear them with heels, flats, or tuck them into boots and you have three completely different denim looks.
The accessories are the fun part of the outfit but they can also be worked into other outfits. A waist-cinching belt works great with little dresses, jackets, and even tee shirts. Sunglasses are an everyday must-have as they can hide many sins (late night out, lack of mascara). Having a simple black hat can save you from a bad hair day and it can freshen up a boring look.

As you’re probably aware, celebrities don’t have to buy most of the designer clothes you see them photographed in at parties or on the red carpet — as designers often ask high profile people to wear their latest creations as way to promote themselves.
So when Stella McCartney told Heather Mills, that she could only get a 10% discount at her London boutique, she might as well of flipped her former stepmom the bird. In response, Michele Elyzabeth, Mills’ “worldwide spokesperson” (whatever that means) released a tersley-worded statement to reporters, lashing back at McCartney, and bemoaning this oh-so-horrible injustice.
But seriously, why is this surprising? Mills has been entangled in a seemingly never-ending legal battle with Stella’s dad, Paul, repeatedly refusing to settle for anything less than half of his fortune — a move that’s had her labeled as a gold digger in the English press for weeks. In fact, I can’t believe Stella offered her former stepmom any discount at all.
Heather Mills is officially crazy.

Getting locked up has never been so stylish. You’ve got the leader of the prison pack Paris Hilton, and both Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan have spent some time behind bars. The girls are all free (for now) but their prison attire is here to stay. Dressing in black and white is so chic this holiday season. Here are some stand-out pieces that our celebrity jailbirds should have in their closets:
L.A.M.B Frosted Love Satchel: Gwen Stefani’s bags are becoming a must have in the celebrity world. This stylish black and white satchel will match practically everything in your closet.
Norma Kamali striped dress: Comfort and style are the key words with this dress from Norma Kamali. Just throw it on with some knee high boots and the look is complete.
Omni Peace tee: Wearing this tee shirt is like doing community service without lifting a finger, as proceeds go towards ending poverty by 2025.
Santi jeweled clutch: Bling is back with this jeweled cover clucth, the perfect accessory for holiday parties.
Karta zig-zag dress: Instead of skippin the stuffing, wear this dress. The zig-zag design of this dress is slimming and elongating which makes this the perfect dress for the holiday season.
Christian Louboutin ‘Bling Bling’ platforms: A fierce pair of shoes is a must have for the holiday party season. Just beware for those of you who live in colder climates, the peep toe might result in frostbite.
RM Rhea dress: This cute little number has pockets for all of your goodies — cell phone, money, ID … anything!
Vivienne Westwood striped cowl neck top: Stripes have never looked so good. Vivienne Westwood can take the simplest concept and make it completely unique.
Marc Jacobs pleated top: Pair this adorable top with black leggings and flats for a dressed up yet dressed down look.
Kenneth Jay Lane Cocktail ring: No holiday ensemble is complete without a cocktail ring. This crystal ball ring is gorgeous and pretty affordable at $98.00.

It’s hard to admit but, yes, I watch The Hills.
Lauren Conrad and the gang always have on nice clothes that you know darn well they couldn’t afford if the show were actually “reality” (Teen Vogue interns can’t get paid that well). The girls are paid mega bucks to live their loosely scripted lives and designers are practically begging them to wear their clothes.
For those of us who aren’t as fortunate as the ladies on The Hills, let’s do Lauren Conrad’s look for less. The secret to this looks is “working it” with confidence and perfect makeup. The outfit isn’t very complex because it’s just basic black with gold accessories. Just beware, matching blacks can be tricky so be sure your black garments are all the same shade of black.

As down to earth as Karl Lagerfeld and the gang may seem, walking into a Chanel boutique can be down right intimidating. The snooty boutique girls aren’t interested in people “just browsing” because they work at Chanel and they are better than you.
Thankfully, a less intimidating Chanel boutique is opening up in Los Angeles not far from the Beverly Hills flagship store on Rodeo Drive. The second outpost will be located on the paparazzi-ridden Robertson Boulevard. Robertson Boulevard is home to hip little shops like Kitson, Lisa Kline, Intermix, and the Ivy restaurant. The new Chanel boutique is going to target a younger crowd, similar to the Chanel in Soho (NYC).
I am thrilled about the new shop opening and I am sure all of young Hollywood is too, as Robertson is their “it” street of the moment.

Victoria Beckham has climbed up the fashion ladder in recent years. No more freaky Spice Girl platforms and patent leather outfits, these days she is living up to the name “Posh.” Whether she is dressed up or dressed down, this tiny little lady packs a major fashion punch.
In this photograph, the busy mother and wife of soccer hottie David Beckham is running a few errands looking flawless as usual. This look is all about being casual and cool. It’s an easy look to achieve and can also be re-created in different color combinations.
Get this look for under $150 and to really “Posh” it up add 5 inch heels and dark sunglasses.

When I walked into Gigi Garner’s West Hollywood showroom I had no idea what to expect. I knew she designed jewelry for Hollywood’s brightest stars like Mary J. Blige, Orlando Bloom, Marcia Cross, Amanda Bynes, Sandra Bullock, and Penelope Cruz, just to name a few, but part of me was afraid I would hate everything.
I didn’t hate everything. I pretty much fell in love with everything.
Unlike most Hollywood jewelry designers, Gigi isn’t a one-hit-wonder. Gigi started out designing “worry beads.” Worry Beads is a strand of beads that you can loosely wear around your hand and just kind of fiddle with, that became insanely popular with celebrities. Instead of being coined the “worry beads” girl, Gigi went on to design a wide variety of pieces.
Gigi Garner combines real stones and precious metals to create one-of-kind pieces. Did I mention she does all of this working solo? She is a one-woman show, which made me appreciate her wonderful work so much more.
I took a spin around her studio/showroom and played dress up with her jewelry. I started with the rings and let me tell you, I can’t get them out of my head because they are gorgeous. My absolute favorite is her Amethyst Quartz ring. The ring is stunning and is sure to rake in the compliments. It will also help you get some sleep, as some believe that amethyst helps with insomnia.
After falling in love with a dozen more pieces, I had to check out her earrings since earrings are my thing. My favorite pair was the green drop earrings that Mary J. Blige wore in a Genlux magazine shoot. I must have been drooling like a puppy because Gigi made me a pair - right in front of me!
I left her showroom about an hour later with earrings on my ears and a smile on my face. By the time I got home I had already received three compliments on my earrings. Gigi works “by appointment only” so if you are in the L.A. area be sure to set aside some time for Gigi Garner.

If the men in my family are any indication, I have maybe another year before I start going gray — and I’m only 24. This sucks, but at least I can pretend to enjoy looking dignified — and at least I’m not going bald.
Unfortunately that’s not the case for poor Prince William — the 25-year-old future king of England who’s already losing his hair.
While I’m not a huge fan of the royal family, I have to give William credit for pulling off the respectably prim and proper look without dressing like a dork. As a matter of fact, he’s a pretty stylish guy. However, if this thinning continues, it won’t be long before he’ll need a hairpiece (if you think our photo isn’t obvious enough, try this).
Maybe I’m making too much out of this whole hair loss thing. Ladies, would you still think William was attractive even with a bald spot?

As much as we all love to make fun of Paris Hilton — the hard-partying, famous-for-nothing, air heard du jour — there’s no denying that, more often than not, she’s got great taste in fashion. Most of her clothes are one-of-a-kind vintage finds, or made just for her by designers trying to promote their label — so chances are you won’t be copying those looks any time soon.
But yesterday she launched (yet another) fragrance, and wore an “I heart shoes, bags & boys” t-shirt to the event.
Lucky for you, that t-shirt is readily available at Viktor Viktoria. Even luckier, it’s only $22.99. I always figured Paris was so rich she’d never seen any bill smaller than a $50, but I guess occasionally she stoops to our level and buys (somewhat) affordable clothing. Who knew?
