Lil Kim Style

Rapper, ex-jail bird and Pussycat Doll Search Judge Lil Kim has taught us a few key style rules over the years, on how not to dress.

Although some may applaud her for her individuality and body confidence, i cannot help but puke in my mouth a bit every time i see her. From the make-up factory on her face, to the constant flashing of her private parts, i find it hard to extract a shred of womanly elegance or class from her surgically enhanced body.

Just a few pics of classic Lil Kim outfits over the years...

Mario Testino's book "Let Me In"

Aclaimed Fashion photographer Mario Testino has come out with a fabulous pictorial book.

This book has images of some of our favourtie celebs such as Ashton Kutcher, claudia Schiffer, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Kate Hudson and Nicole Kidman captured in their rawest and natural state.

I Particulary love the one with Jennifer Lopez and her husband, very natural, very sweet!

Kate Bosworth Man Style Dressing done right!

Actress Kate Bosworth as we all know, has been a regular fashion show attender over the years, and every year she always manages to pull off (the hard to pull off) Man Style Look.

Wearing a slicked back hair, a tailored white Balenciaga Blazer, crisp white shirt and slim leg pants, Miss Bosworth attended the Rag and Bone Fashion show looking sharp and refined, almost as if she were tailor made for this style.

The LBD gone sequin Crazy!

The classic Little Black Dress, has gone sequin crazy as of late and it's a great thing! Designers such as Chanel and Oscar De La Renta have added shimmer and shine to an otherwise simple dress.

Sequines make these short summer-night dress' a lot more glamorous, and are definitely grabbing fans across Hollywood from the likes of celebrity off-spring Rumer Willis to regular rehab visitor Lindsay Lohan!

Kate Moss and her Longchamp bag

Legendary model Kate Moss was the face of the sexy Spring/Summer 07 Longchamp handbag campaign and while working with Longchamp Kate Moss' fell in love with the bag she was modelling so much that she decided to suggest a way to spruce up the design a little.

Now what we have is a bag that Kate Moss modelled and re-modelled known as the Longchamp 'Legend' (how appropriate) bag. She helped the design by changing it from brown to black and matte to patent.

The result? A very Kate Moss' bag indeed with contrast red lining, zipper compartments, a handle just perfect to wear on the arm and large enough for all your days needs in a very Kate Moss' rock star manner.

Rihanna's Kayne West Party outfit!

Hmm, this is the outfit Rhianna chose to wear on the weekend to attend a party hosted by Kayne West. But I'm really not feeling this outfit at all, there's something a little off about it and i don't know what it is.

All the pieces are great, but together they look a bit much. Perhaps it's too many trends in one, like the paper-boy hat, grey vest, high-waisted pants, animal print belt? That makes it hard to focus on one key item.

It's probarbly just me, but i'm really not a fan of this outfit or the WIG.

Color Match From Head to Toe

Rising style-icon Hayden Panettiere and Style-Veteran Nicole Richie demonstrate the old fashioned way of matching from head-to-toe.

Hayden was seen on her 18th birthday wearing a head-to-toe ensemble in knock-out red including her fire engine red sunglasses. While Nicole Richie was seen shopping in classic black assessoried with a classic Chanel bag.

This look is effortless yet produces dramatic results and both Hayden and Nicole work it, so remember just what nanna told you..."matching is key!"

Nicole Richie in Tom Ford Anouk

If you're going to follow someones lead when it comes to choosing the most fashion forward sunglasses, look no furthur than Nicole Richie. Miss Richie is crazy crazy crazy about her sunglasses, and has recently chosen to wear the gorgeous Tom Ford Anouk TF 57 sunglasses.

The cat eye look will definitely make a comeback over the next few years thanks to this fabulous creation by Tom Ford and with celebs like Nicole Richie wearing them they are sure to sell out fast, so snap them up while you can...they are worth every penny.

Anyways if you like them, you can buy them online at eLuxury for $300 or Bloomingdales.

How to PIMP your own Celebrity Brand - Part One

How to pimp your Celebrity brand Victoria Beckham Style

Step one

Make sure your seen in your brand at every photo opportunity that arises from walking around the street randomly, to going shopping with your hubby, to arriving at the airport to filming your reality T.V show.

Step two

If this is not enough to steer people in, force your new celebrity BFF such as Jennifer Lopez to wear them even though she looks really awkward in them or claim that you will stand next to her in every photo just to make her look fat.

Step Three

Make your husband wear them and if he doesn't, withhold sex for at least 6 months.

Step Four

Don't succumb to Top shop and H&M prices when you can put a $250 designer price tag on it to secure a spot in the 'high quality, exclusive market".

Just kidding y'all, i love Mrs Beckham, this is not about bagging her out, because personally her sunglasses are great BUT there's no denying she's one strategic business women.

Katie Price AKA Jordan's "Stunning" Perfume

Just a week after revile Victoria Beckham launched her Intimately Beckham perfume with husband David Beckham in America, Katie Price AKA Jordan has launched her very own fragrance called 'Stunning'.

It's not the perfume that caught my eye this time, it was Jordan's wedding-cake dress, orange tan and blonde weave. Not to mention how tacky the perfume packaging looks, with her face plastered all over it. I don't know the whole event just looks cheap from her outfit all the way down to the writing "Stunning by Katie Price".

Katie Price believes that the perfume that took 9 months to make only needs "one spray and you'll be stunning", ladies you won't smell good but miraculously by the power of Jordon you'll be stunning.

Kate Middleton style

I don't get it, why does Prince William's on-off girlfriend feel the need to dress like a middle-aged mother? I know this girl can dress well, but she always seem to turn to very conservative clothing once in a while which aren't flattering and look as if though they were simply worn to impress the old folks up in the Buckingham.

well this outfit, i personally don't like of hers, the cardigan...the color of the dress and that grumpy face ain't working for me.

Paris Hilton at Kitson

Paris Hilton was at Kitson during the week with fans to help raise funds for charity, with 20% of proceedings going to her current favourite children's charity.

I can't help but admire how sweet Paris has been looking of late. She looked very glamourous with her oversized sunglasses, super-long blonde extensions and GET THIS> she was wearing a dress from her own collection, and i must say i really like it. The length, the color and the coin-like effect it presents.

All in all, it still looks like she has alot of fans with a massive crowd swooning around her as soon as she exited her car!

Angelina Loves her Dolce and Gabanna Sunglass'

Angelina Jolie is undoubtedly one of the world most stylish and beautiful women, but one thing she isn't is a fashion victim.

This can be seen in her ability to stick to her own personal style, without a stylist and wear a pair of signature designer sunnies all summer long, without having the need for a whole wardrobe's worth unlike Hollywood's young starlet's like Lindsay Lohan.

I'm really loving her Dolce and Gabbana 6006B sunglasses which are oversized, black, with a subtle DG logo which are charateristics of a timeless pair of sunglasses.

If you love them, they can be purchased on otticanet with prices ranging from $211-$223 depending on the color you choose.

Cool T-shirts

The Ugly Betty DVD Launch Party, showcased some pretty interesting outfits from the stars. What i really loved though was the cool t-shirts the guys were rocking such as Christopher Gorman's David Bowie tee and a really cool retro tee featuring sunglasses galore was worn by one of the young star of the show, Mark Indelicato.

While Third Rock From the Sun star, Joseph Gordon Levitt brought back childhood memories in a 'Rock, Paper, Scissor's' tee. Heaps of retro inspired shirts can be found at many department stores while online stores and Ebay have ones that may be a bit more original.

Celebs in Latex Leggings

Latex leggings are one of those clothing items that you would skip at first glance and never think much about it again, UNTIL you see Kate Moss rocking her version at the Glastonbury Festival, then it's sure to become a trend with the mass'.

Since then Victoria Beckham, Hilary Duff and Juliette Lewis were all seen wearing this hard to pull off look. While Kate Moss opted for a looser-high gloss version, Hilary Duff, Ashley Olsen and Posh wore it skin tight, as for Juliette Lewis she just went crazy with the trend...tight, glossy and bright red!!

Haven't seen latex leggings in stores, but i'm sure they will pop up on Ebay or American apparel anytime soon.

Colored Jeans are rocking Hollywood

As mentioned in a previous post, colored jeans are HOT HOT HOT for Autumn/winter this year with many celebrities seen sporting the look from Rachel Bilson to Ashlee Simpson.

But the trend doesn't seem to be dying anytime soon, with the likes of Cameron Diaz, Victoria Beckham and Jessica Alba putting their thin-pins in light brights.

Many stores have their own version's of this look, so i hope it doesn't get worn to death by all. I've got 2 pairs...bu can't wear them yet because i need to get them altered cause I'm a short short shorty :(

Lily Allen at the V festival in England

Lily Allen performed at the V Festival in England this week. She performed wearing a two tone grey dress which i absolutely love. Made to resemble a tee and skirt ensemble the details of the dress including the pleating, the V-style cut (how appropriate for such an event) and the stud details make this dress oh so flattering...digging the fluro microphone too. Well she is known more for her unique style sense which is seen in her collaboration with New Look.

Just one question though, isn't she supposed to be heaps sick or something? Because she postponed a lot of her concert's but seems to be smiling and drinking her liver to death at the festival...just a question...

Pics of Lily Allen performing at the V festival and a few bits and pieces from her New Look range.

Trend - Plaid Shirts

Plaid and checked shirts are really becoming popular with young hollywood, with the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Kirsten Dunst and Mary-Kate Olsen wearing these "picked out of my father's closet" inspired shirts.

They're big, they're comfortable, they're stylish and anyone can really pull it off (even on a fat day), thats why i love wearing them. Too be comfortable in the chicest sort of manner, take cue from Lindsay Lohan's Stella McCartney shirt, which sits well and has a bit more structure to avoid looking like a barn-yard hick.

Paris Hilton in gold one-piece

Paris Hilton really embraces trends doesn't she? Well who can blame her when she looks this good in a one piece cut-out swimsuit, beaded wrap, gold necklace and gold aviators. She looked much the heiress at a party held at her Malibu home during the weekend.

And i think she might actually be getting a maternal side, after hearing news of BFF Nicole Richie's Pregnancy.

Juliette Lewis in red Latex pants

Hmmm, the V Festival held in England this week brought with it many creative and out-there outfits...some good, some not so good. But there's one outfit that i don't know whether i like or hate.

Celeb Juliette Lewis, decided to let loose and wear a hot new trend-Latex leggings. But I'm not sure if I'm into Bright red Latex. She teamed the pants with a black vest, headband and ankle boots. Perhaps it just looks a little crazy due to the fact that she's standing next a surprisingly refined and polished looking Kelly Osborne in all black.

I don't think I'll be wearing red latex leggings anytime soon, but props to Juliette for trying something new.
