Summer MAXI-mized

Last season hemlines were going sky high, but this season shorty gotta get low-low-low. The minis more conservative cousin, the maxi dress is fast becoming the style staple of summer 08 with Nicole Richie paving the way to a more carefree hippy-loving summer.

Designer runways including Etro, Roberto Cavalli, Pucci and Blumarine all contributed to the brightly printed maxi dress trend which are favoured by pregnant mums including Angelina Jolie, Gwen Stefani and Ashlee Simpson.

For those of you who are stuck in the middle of winter like me, do like Nicole Richie and pop a warm leather jacket over a maxi dress and layer with boots, tights and a scarf to make it cold weather friendly.

GQ Men of the year

Young Hollywood set out in style at the GQ Men of the Year festivities from Elisha Cuthbert to super powered cheerleader Hayden Panettiere.

They all looked surprisingly polished keeping colours and print to a bare minimum and using red lips to bring massive impact.

Although Megan Fox looked extremely "foxy", what the hell is up with all her retarded poses? even at the Juno premier earlier this week she was punking out poses 'Avril Lavigne' style.

She always seems to have the need to show off all her tattoos. We get it Megan, your a hard ass...no need to rub it in. either way, they both looked good and I'm in love with those studded Christian Louboutin Mary Janes.

Did we miss the Memo?

It seems these days that it is fitting to attend high profile events in high designer gear..and well, flip flops.

A couple of weeks back Hayden Panettiere stepped out in a classic Burberry trench coat teamed with a purple Balenciaga bag and comfy flip flops. Soon after it was Zac Efron seen promoting High School Musical 2 in a formal black blazer, white shirt and tie while deciding to skim on the footwear.

Then you've got Jennifer Conolley, who took it one step further at the Toronto Film festival, wearing a chic strapless white dress, along with what seemed to be very orthopedic-looking sandals.

At first the look didn't appeal to me but now it's grown on me and it's kind of an unexpected twist, and not to mention a very comfy one at that!

Hayden Panettiere-59th Primetime Emmy awards

oh I'm not too sure about the dress Hayden Panettiere wore to the Emmy's this year. From the bust up she looks great, natural make-up and her hair pulled back elegantly, but below the chest it's a maternity catastrophe!

Although this loose style may be everywere these days, it's not a very flattering look on most people. But i suppose being a beautiful girl she did justice to this Marc Bouwer dress.

Hayden Panettiere at Pre-Emmy's Hereos Bash

I absolutely love this purple dress Hayden Panettiere wore to the Pre-Emmy's Hereos Bash. Her skin tone really sets off this stunning purple dress, and she is looking really fresh faced alongside her new castmate, Kristen Bell... i am just in ore of this color...

Balenciaga Bags Still Going Strong

As we all know, Balenciaga Motorcycle bags became the 'it' bag to have Circa 2004, and like many 'it' bags, they were quickly seen on the shoulders on many starlets and just as quickly popped back on in their wardrobes alongside the once lusted for Marc Jacobs Stam and Chloe Paddington.

However, unlike the future of many over-exposed bags, Balenciaga is having it's revival. Miss Nicole Richie dusted hers off again this year, along with Mary-Kate as seen in an earlier post and now our new generation of stylish young stars such as Heroes', Hayden Panettiere and High School Musical's, Vanessa Hudgens have caught on.

Hopefully this means that the Balenciaga Motorcycle bag will become a classic*Fingers Crossed*

The Hayden Panettiere Dream

Hayden Panettiere's semi-conscious dream of becoming the next teen style icon is on the way.

At LAX airport, Hayden was seen wearing a comfortable yet high end outfit. Seen here in a Burberry trench coat, bright purple Balenciaga Motorcycle bag, white wayfarer sunglasses and Flip Flops!! Unusual yet fresh combination. What will this Hereo's stylish future look like?

Balenciaga bags making a comeback

It seems that the once coveted Balenciaga Motorcycle bag is making a comeback. The girl that started the craze, Miss Nicole Richie was spotted a couple of month's back wearing one of her many Balenciaga bags out and about. Now Hayden Panettiere and Mary-Kate Olsen have scrambled through their wardrobes and dusted off an old favourite.

It's no wonder these bags are so loved, their quintessential Balenciaga, young and excude a very rock chick vibe, although Hayden opted to wear her purple Motorcycle bag in a more lady like way!

Hayden Panettiere and her cape!

Hayden Panettiere looked like quiet the superhero earlier this week, wearing what appears to be a white cape inspired by our favourite childhood hero's and matching white Ray-Ban Wayfarer's. I don't really like this look but points for originality!
