Kristen Stewart's Outfit Snafu

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:04:35 +0000

Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that the movie The Twilight Saga: New Moon opens today. Well, there was a secret sneak preview last night in NYC hosted by The Cinema Society and fashion brand D&G, and most of the stars of the movie made a personal appearance.

The screening's invitation requested that all guests wear only cream and/or black, and almost all of the cast and guests complied, including Ashley Greene, who wore a floral applique ebony-and-ivory frock from D&G. Problem was, apparently no one gave the memo to Kristen Stewart, because she arrived in an olive green dress from Valentino. But, being the gracious gal she is, Kristen walked the red carpet for photos with a black Burberry mini trench over her dress so that she wouldn't stand out like a sore thumb too much. Way to come through in the clutch, KStew!

Amazing Idea: Hoodie Buddie

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:45:31 +0000

I just heard about this and it blew me away: There's a new invention called the Hoodie Buddie created by Jerry Leigh Apparel that features built-in, machine-washable(!!) headphones as the drawstrings of a traditional hoodie. There's also a front pocket in the sweatshirt with an input jack for your iPod or cell phone.

And although it's really cool new technology, the price is still affordable - and most importantly, they're super cute! Brands like Paul Frank have already adopted the Hoodie Buddie into their line, like this $40 Julius Headphones Hoody. This is one of those things that I feel like we'll look back on and say: "How did we live without it?"

Kristen Stewart at the New Moon Premiere: Love it or Not?

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:16:00 +0000

I was pretty shocked to see starlet Kristen Stewart show up to the Los Angeles premiere of her new flick The Twilight Saga: New Moon in a floor-length ball gown by old-school designer Oscar de la Renta. While there's no denying that Kristen is absolutely gorgeous, this dress seems a huge departure from the edgy leather Rock & Republic and Balenciaga minidresses that she's worn of late.

I think that she looks great here - but with her porcelain complexion perhaps the pale color of the dress isn't as flattering as it could be. What do you think of the look?

Site I Love: Shopthelook.net

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:51:42 +0000

Artful accessorizing is a fantastic way to express yourself and update the clothes you already have, but there's no need to spend a lot to do it. I'm a huge fan of this site called Shopthelook.net because it has loads and loads and loads and - did I say loads? - of jewelry and hair accessories, and most everything is under twenty bucks. If you're looking for a quick style fix, check it out.

Baghaus.com's Sale Cracks Me Up

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:25:28 +0000

I came across this sale today while online shopping (what else?) at Baghaus.com and it made me laugh, so I thought I'd let you in on the joke. The site has a rotating selection of sale handbags that they call their "Stupid Deal of the Week." Kind of funny, eh?

Any Sports Fans Out There?

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:06:24 +0000

Although most people would probably consider me a girly-girl, I am also a big sports fan - especially professional football. The Indianapolis Colts are my fave team (8-0 tonight, yippee!), and although I'd love to show my support for them, I really don't want to wear a dorky sweatshirt or oversized jersey.

Thankfully there are more and more cute female-friendly team products out there these days at NFL Shop, including this adorable $39.99 Field Flirt Tunic from Reebok. Makes me look forward to the next game day!

The Ongoing Influence of Coco Chanel

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:40:29 +0000

Most of us probably won't ever own a Chanel evening gown or quilted handbag (which is totally OK, btw), but there's no doubt that the brand is incredibly influential in the fashion world. The company was created by a woman named Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel back in 1909, which is pretty cool when you think about how few ladies were even attempting to run businesses back then.

I just saw the biopic Coco Before Chanel starring Audrey Tautou, and it reinvigorated my interest in learning about Mademoiselle Chanel. I found this little book called The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World's Most Elegant Woman, and I'm gonna give it a whirl.

What's Your Fave Teen Store?

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:28:04 +0000

There are so many great affordable places to shop these days, and it seems like almost every store now is stocked with super-cute things (or am I maybe just a shopaholic?). I have been browsing through places like Charlotte Russe, Mandee, and Wet Seal - and it seems like they've all stepped up their retail game a bit.

Do you have a favorite store right now?

Fall's Must-Have Item: The Flannel Shirt

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 10:40:47 +0000

November's here, and for a lot of us that means it's time to bundle up. One of the key layering pieces this season will definitely be a plaid flannel shirt, and although some of them can be pretty pricey, you can also find a nice version for not that much money.

For example, if you want to shell out big bucks for a designer version like this $245 Cohen Button Back Plaid Shirt from Elizabeth & James (pictured, near right) you can, but there's also something like this $29.50 Lily Slim Fit Woven Flannel from Nollie.

Will You Wear the "Jegging?"

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:25:47 +0000

I am not the biggest fan of the ubiquitous legging trend (because seriously, do I need to see everyone's rear ends?), but now there's another version that I'm disliking even more: The 'jegging.' Basically it's a pair of leggings that is printed to look like an extra extra extra skinny pair of jeans (jean + legging = jegging), and it looks like this pair from Topshop.

What do you think of the idea?
