I am a big fan of skinny bottoms and have countless pairs of skinny jeans and leggings. However, jeans can sometimes feel too restrictive (especially if you’ve put on a few pounds of winter weight), and let’s be honest, leggings can’t be worn with tops that hit above your hips unless you’re pencil thin. Enter Denimocracy and their fantastic line of “jeggings,” which are made to look like denim and feel like leggings. Their incredibly cool and flattering styles are perfect for days when you want the comfort of leggings but the look of denim, which is me every day since I got a pair! They come in a variety of awesome washes that pay homage to the likes of “Benatar” and “Bowie” (I especially love the acid wash styles), and are perfect for adding a bit of rock ‘n’ roll to your look. It’s no wonder celebrities such as Katherine Heigl, Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, Katie Holmes and Lauren Conrad are all big fans. The best part? All the styles retail for under $80! Check out my slideshow to see my 5 favorites!
Valentine’s Day is pretty much here and regardless of whether or not you have a sweetheart to spend it with, it’s still fun to get girly and festive with Valentine’s Day inspired apparel and beauty products. Lacy lingerie, sensual body creams and seductive scents are perfect for this love holiday, but work just as well for any other day of the year. The stars have read our hearts for the week and whether you’re having a romantic day for two or a red and pink themed girls night out, they know just what you need to make this 14th extra special. Click on the slideshow to see what the stars have chosen for your Valentine’s Day treat and have a happy Valentine’s Day full of love and loved ones!
Valentine’s Day is definitely a romantic holiday, but it’s also a stressful time for any gift giver. While couples who have been together for years and years may have their Valentine’s Day routine down to a tee, new couples may have some more trouble. Of course, no one expects an expensive diamond necklace after the 4th date, but a small trinket declaring one’s puppy love is always appreciated. That’s why I’ve found plenty of cute and thoughtful gifts under $20! For the beauty guru, give the gift of lipgloss with the Mini Super Shimmer Gift Set. Even if you and your fellow single friends aren’t celebrating the holiday in a typical fashion, it’s nice to give a little something to show your affection, right? I think a magic frog to prince fits the bill perfectly. And if you’re without a clue on what to give that special someone you may or may not be ready to call your significant other, take a peek at my slideshow!
For many, an opportunity to go behind the scenes at Vogue would be a dream. For others, like Andy in the 2006 comedy/drama The Devil Wears Prada, “nightmare” is the word that comes to mind. And for everyone else, well, it’s simply a mystery. Who could possibly fear a place with so many shoes? Directed by R.J. Cutler, The September Issue takes us through the making of the most important issue of fashion’s premiere publication and brings us face to face with editor in chief Anna Wintour herself, sans sunglasses (if you can believe it.) Models, celebrities, photographers, and other masthead fixtures like creative director Grace Coddington add to the 90 exceptional minutes that Entertainment Weekly hails as “dishy, glitzy, vibrant and sensationally fun.” Available as a two-disc “Double Issue” DVD containing extensive bonus materials, including over 90 minutes of never-before-seen deleted scenes, audio commentary with the director and a photo gallery, The September Issue will be hitting stores on February 23, 2010. In honor of the upcoming release, we’re giving readers the chance to win one of FIVE copies, each valued at $29.98. Read on to find out how to enter, and see the trailer here!
Always one to command attention, Hills vixen Kristin Cavallari made a show-stopping splash at the L.A. premiere of When in Rome thanks to her powerhouse pink Naven frock. This color is definitely one of my favorites for obvious reasons- it is stunning and so flattering against all skin tones. Powerhouse pink can make even the greatest of wallflowers come out of their shells and is the kind of color that delivers instant confidence. There really is no wrong way to wear it! Team it with neutrals for a subdued effect or with black for a more edgy vibe. Either way, this dress was made to do all the talking, so take a cue from Kristin and keep the accessories to a minimum. Check out my slideshow to get the exact dress seen on Kristin and for similar options!
If you’re the kind of girlfriend who likes to leave your Valentine little “hints” for gift-giving, like magazine clippings or strategically dog-eared catalogs (hey, some guys need a little guidance when it comes to shopping), then here’s a little something that you just might have to put on their gifting radar. The Marc by Marc Jacobs Bow Wow Clutch appeals to a bag collector’s inner girlie-girl—the bow design is cutesie without verging on obnoxious, and the removable strap makes it versatile as a casual shoulder bag or a night-out clutch (see? It’s totally a smart purchase). But what you’ll really swoon over is the heart print lining—there’s nothing more tempting than an adorable bag with an even cuter interior! Now just conveniently leave this page open on your man’s laptop and you may just have this bag tucked under your arm by next week (wishful thinking?)!
What: the Marc by Marc Jacobs Bow Wow Wow Linda Leather Clutch
Price: $298
Where to Buy: Bloomingdale’s

At this year’s Grammy awards, smoking hot supermodel Marisa Miller demonstrated how sexy a little white dress can be. Marisa was a true vision in vintage Gucci. She upped the glam factor with gorgeous Neil Lane jewelry including a standout statement necklace and two cocktail rings. She added a pop of color to the look with red Yves Saint Laurent platform pumps and sported beautifully tousled waves, staying true to her signature California-chic aesthetic. White is no longer a spring and summer specific shade and can serve as a fresh alternative to basic black all year round. Check out my slideshow to get the look!
Amanda Seyfriend has come along way ever since her stint as the weather-predicting dumb blonde from Mean Girls, and now she’s starring alongside the leading man of just about any hot-blooded woman’s dreams, Channing Tatum, in the just-in-time-for-V-Day flick Dear John. But just because she’s made it big as the heroine in the latest Nicolas Sparks’ onscreen romance doesn’t necessarily mean she reigns supreme on the red carpet! Amanda looked sweet yet very sultry in a flouncy navy dress with a boldly plunging neckline, and Channing’s real life leading lady Jenna Dewan was all glamour in a floor-length bustier gown. Fellow premiere attendees lent their support in style, including Iron Man 2’s Olivia Munn in an asymmetrical one-shoulder dress and grey pumps and “The Vampire Diaries’” Kayla Ewell was super-chic in a striped long-sleeved mini. Vote below on who had the best premiere look! Photo Credit: PR Photos

Reptile more your style? The Jil Sander lizard shoulder bag is equal parts wild and elegant. Got Olympic fever? Add some fashion with Stiletto Jungle’s thoughts on the Ralph Lauren-designed uniforms!

Check out what’s happening this week in the fabulous world of the fashion blog-o-sphere!
As much as sexy lingerie succeeds in shooting your confidence through the stratosphere, it’s not exactly comfy for everyday wear. I know they say pain is beauty, but itchy lace and corset boning digging into your love handles isn’t exactly what you want to be enduring for the sake of looking sexy on just any day of the week… unless of course it’s a special occasion! So this V-Day, swap your standard boyshorts for luxe lingerie and let that closet vixen come out, at least for the night! With slinky sheer babydolls and gorgeously flattering bra-and-panty sets, you (and your Valentine) will love your seductive new skivvies so much, you may never revisit another 5-for-$25 Pink panties deal ever again! Okay, that’s taking it a little far, but if you’re feeling tempted to bring out that V-Day temptress, check the slideshow for the picks!
After a fun and fruitful (read: free swag!) morning at the Victoria’s Secret Beauty press event here in San Francisco, I can confidently say it’s totally fine if you’re saving Valentine’s Day preparations until the last minute, because Victoria’s Secret has everything you’ll need for a rockin’ V-Day- literally. Their Love Rocks beauty and fragrance line is already available in stores and features more than just your average beauty products. For the adventurous ones, there are edible massage oils and kissable body lotions. A little more on the sweet and flirty side? Victoria’s Secret’s pretty and popular Pink line have introduced an array of light, new scents to suit any personality. Plus, new VS makeup and VS Pro feature cosmetics that are more matte and practical for everyday, but still every bit as glamorous! And more good news! Dream Angels Heavenly, arguably the most popular scent out there, is presenting a new limited edition Heavenly Flowers scent, a deeper and more sensual floral take on the classic. All these decadent beauty products and more will soon be available at your local Victoria’s Secret, but we got the sneak peek right here for you first, so click on the slideshow and do a little pre-shopping planning!
Who knew a simple question - Who Dat? - could cause such a stir? New Orleanians have been saying “Who Dat” for quite some time, and despite all the chatter from the NFL, they plan to keep on saying “Who Dat” in their unique fashionable way. Check out the owner of Fleurty Girl - Lauren Thom and her Who Dat gear. Plus, we have a few other fun examples of Who Dat and Fleur de Lis gear. And in case you haven’t noticed, the New Orleans Saints are headed to the Super Bowl. Saints fans have waited 43 years for this day - and as you can imagine, they are ready to party. And it is also Mardi Gras season in the Big Easy. So if you can’t make it to Miami, cruise on down to N’awlins, pick up your Who Dat fashion, take in the game with the WhoDat Nation and then stick around for Mardi Gras!
They say that brains and beauty are the complete package and when it comes to technology, it’s terribly hard to find. Besides the obvious offerings from Apple that usually come with a premium price, I tend to find really awesome looking gadgets with terrible specs on the inside. And the best performing PCs out there tend to look like mini slabs of plastic. The Sony Vaio E Series is here to dispel the misconception of ugly yet smart PCs. The candy colored notebooks can be customized with your choice of exterior color an keyboard skin on the inside. Of couse, the Vaio E Series comes with all the latest and greatest in technology. Powered by a 2.4 GHz processor, running Windows 7 and includes a generous 500 GB hard drive, it’s hard to believe it weighs in at just under six pounds. Other features include a 15.5 inch screen and an optional Blu-ray player so you can watch your HD movies almost anywhere. Brains and beauty can mix after all!
Price: $799
Who Found It: facadeindreams was first to add the Sony Vaio E Series Notebook to the Hive.
From day to night, from one season to the next, sequins are the new fool-proof go-to look. I am so fond of a gold sequined mini dress- it’s such a versatile option that always looks amazing and can be teamed with any color under the sun. Gold is totally the new black! Fashion trendsetter Nicole Richie demonstrated the fabulousness of the sequined mini to ring in the New Year at Tao and Lavo in Las Vegas. Nicole is always one to pile on the accessories but given the standout nature of this style, she left the glitzy pieces at home, finishing off her look with black tights and black Yves Saint Laurent pumps. A relaxed, slouchy style like Nicole’s is highly wearable and can be toned down with a sharp blazer, vest, or cozy knit and vamped up with killer heels or sexy booties. Either way, this style is a winner! Check out my slideshow for 5 sequined frocks similar to Nicole’s!
It’s so great to see celebrities helping Haiti in any way they can. If you’re John Travolta, you can privately fly a whole bunch of people to Haiti. If you’re Miley Cyrus, you can auction off your Grammy Awards dress. and if you’re Scarlett Johansson you can design a purse for the designer you work for. And that’s just what Scarlett is doing! When you purchase Scarlett Johansson’s Haiti bag from Mango, everyone will know you’re supporting a good cause. You’ll have to wait a little bit since the bag won’t be available until March, but it will be worth the wait. The bag features a black and white map of ancient Haiti with the words, “Support the people of Haiti. Designed by Scarlett Johansson. Mango.” The bag, exclusively sold at Mango, will only cost $29.90 and all profits will go to Oxfam’s Haiti Earthquake Response Fund. Scarlett had this to say about the bag: “I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Mango to promote conscious consumerism and to benefit Oxfam’s Haiti Earthquake Response Fund… By purchasing this bag, which I specially designed, you are helping to provide life saving assistance like clean water to the people of Haiti.”
I love seeing celebrities do all they can to help the cause. And by designing such an affordable, cute bag, Scarlett must know people are going to be running to Mango to buy her new tote!
