Chloe Sevigny , I love her! She looks amazing in so many things!
and Liv Tyler, this little black dress is bringing sexy back. Both minis are more form fitting and are perfect if you have great legs to show off.

Both are more free form dresses which are great if you have a heavier bottom section.

Hillary Duff Even though she almost got trunk-slapped a couple a times she still looks cool and calm in this light red tie-front dress. Oh, look it matches the elephants outfit too!

The fact that Hillary Duff, is my niece’s little Disney Hero slash sweetheart,
and that (well unbeknown to conventional media) she ‘s yet to make it to rehab! – a la Linsdey Lohan and Britney Spears, makes her a cool chica in my book.

Oh, and of course I like her style too, which is why I’m talking
about her in the first place. I recently saw a picture of her and
it reminded me how bad I really wanted that bag she had on.

When I finally start making enough money ( I’m presently what
you’d call self-employed” aka on a tight budget – no I’m not a Stripper!,
but you know, I did see “Hustle and Flow”, and it might not be
so bad after all, right? lol)

Anyways let me stay on track here.

Basically I saw the bag in the Marc Jacobs Fall 2006 collection,
drolled over it, wiped my face and then came back to reality
( ie I cant afford this bag on my measly punk ass pay-check).

Marc Jacobs- Ready to Wear, Fall 2006

So, damn, here’s what I’m getting instead!!! who’s going to really
tell the difference? This website is great, almost all the bags are
retakes of brand name favorites like Chloe, Dior, YSL and all are
very reasonable priced with great materials.

BagHaus bags are bad ass for spunky fashionista on a dime.

Like.com lets you select a celebrity, anybody( guy or girl), whose style you like, I choose Alicia Keys and a pair of red gloves she wore at the New York fashion week.

1. they produce a couple images of Alicia Keys in different outfits
2. highlighting certain products such as items of clothing, jewelry and shoes they might be wearing
3. then you can click on these highlighted areas
4. and a page leads you to literally a plethora of choices of that same product.

Variations by price, shape, colors, and places to buy, but all are essentially the same style that you saw and liked on your fav star. Cool eh?

Play around with it at Like.com

BTW…this really makes me question myself about the whole idea of individuality. If every one can really now dress like everyone else, will we succumb and do it, or will we take bits and pieces and make it our own? Will we cease to be individuals?

The 49th Annual Grammy Awards were held last night. This musical celebration also traditionally has some of the best-dressed men and women. And because we all love to look at pictures of celebrities – including moi. Lets get down to it!!!! I’ve compiled what I like to call a pretty cool list of “oh hell yes” BEST and “oh hell no” WORST list.

BEST



Congratulations to The Dixie Chicks, Mary J. Blidge, and Beyonce! Oh, so the reason why Scarlett Johansson is here is because she’s presently working on an album. I can’t wait to hear it, my opinion if Britney Spears can make a top selling album, we know what sells: good music and bad music. Lets see what happens with Scarlett.

WORST

First of all, I thought Omariyah’s 15 minutes of fame were up? She looks out of place on the red carpet in this bronze dress. Could some one pass Hillary a curling iron or some spritz – don’t mean to be mean but she is just too cute of a girl to be looking like a crack head! Beyonce babe I can see all your business in this dress, truth is its a cute dress but not meant to be sang in with so much back light.

Nice dress minus the big pink bow, so it gets a “ugly” rating, and Ciara I’m just upset because you have a great body that can go into many a fabulous dresses and you chose this one( or your stylist did) but still its not falltering, something not so round and longer would be perfect for the red carpet.
