There’s something about wearing white that makes me feel all summery and Marilyn Monroe-like. You know, a little bit sweet, a little bit saucy. But I didn’t really want to chit-chat about divas from yesteryear. No, I’d like to share my passion for emerging designers. Whether it’s super modern stylings from Cake, the retro-chic vibe of Rose La Biche or art you can wear from
Cannes Film Festival Jury Member and museworthy style icon Natalie Portman could roll out of bed still be the most striking girl in a hundred mile radius. When she gets decked out in designer gowns and gorgeous diamonds, well she transforms into pure perfection! At the jury photo call for the 61st Annual Cannes Film Festival, Natalie dazzled in three layered Tiffany & Co. Diamond necklaces - the Diamond Flower Link Necklace ($47,500), Diamond Cobblestone Pendant ($7,800), and Circlet Diamond Pendant ($2,275). And that was just the tip of the iceberg. (Get it? So clever am I!) I couldn’t resist tracking down her pieces, and similar styles for the ones that were untrackable. Click READ MORE to get her Cannes look.

In Los Angeles, everywhere you turn around, there is style. Yes, I’m in a town that’s a little bitty bit obsessed with appearances, a town where people focus more on what they look like than anything else. You rarely see anybody slacking off, even if it’s 11am on a Friday. Want proof? Here’s a SLIDESHOW of five fun outfits - all of which I shot TODAY!
One day back in 1959, a desperate housewife took a dozen colorful dresses made by her dressmaker and set them up for sale at an orange juice stand. From this simple beginning, a legend was born. Within five years, it seemed almost every American woman was sporting one of Lilly Pulitzer’s simple sheath dresses in an eye-popping print. Lilly became a favorite at resorts and country clubs nationwide and even Jacqueline Kennedy became a fan. And while the Lilly Pulitzer label continues to manufacture clothes today, the early vintage dresses and skirts of the 1960s and 1970s still hold a special charm. Just click SEE SLIDESHOW to see seven sweet examples.
Although I personally am not ‘petite,’ I can definitely empathize with the plight of petites when it comes to finding the perfect pants. If you wear pants that are too loose, you can look like you’re drowning, too long, and you’ll look sloppy and short, too tight, and you can look especially teeny and shapeless. Length and fit are of utmost importance- a golden rule that applies to ladies of all body types, but is especially crucial for petites. Since your body type is significantly smaller than the average woman, finding a good tailor is ESSENTIAL when it comes to looking amazing.

Of all the bright colors making the rounds this spring, I’m definitely favoring all things in the hue of electric blue! This color is undoubtedly striking, but not in that overly loud, obnoxious, paranoia-inducing kind of way. Unlike most bright colors, this one complements virtually every skin-tone and looks phenomenal set against all hair colors. Not only that, it looks incredible paired with every color period, from basic black to roaring red to punchy pink to glittery gold and on and on- color-coordinating mishaps are a non-issue when you throw this shade into the mix. So add some spark to your look and check out my SLIDESHOW for hot finds in this electrifying shade.
Patterned mini skirts aren’t the only ones pumping up the volume this season. Designers like Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera, and Donna Karan have been showing longer variations as well. My friends at Red Light PR loaned me a black and white voluminous skirt from the Lauren Conrad Collection to show you how to work the style three ways. Head over to my Hive to shop the looks, and click READ MORE to see the looks I created!
One of the cool things about prom is all the work you do in advance, like casing out what your friends are going to wear, pouring through magazines for ideas and talking about it with everybody else. It’s practically like you’re Rachel Zoe and it’s some swanky awards show ala Hollywood style, with your own handsome suitor and your own limousine. Only you’ve also got homework, after school sports and that babysitting empire that’s paying for the extra you spend on a dress. Feeling stressed? No need. We asked Stylediarists to heed to the call and they’ve sent in their prom looks and favorite prom-ready dresses Here’s a SLIDESHOW of favorites!
Stylehive is full of real style experts - real people who work in the field every day, not crazy TV talking heads who shout fashion pronouncements like their Botox allowance depends on it!

I’m always searching for the perfect summer clutch. It must be light, great for an outdoor dinner with the fiancée (yes, I’m engaged now), ideal for casual walks on the boardwalk and perfect to take along for weekend getaways. I tend to gravitate towards traditional summer accents like floral or raffia finish, but in a subdued, sophisticated interpretation. If you’re of a certain age, you want to avoid bags that are more suitable for your younger niece. If you need to ask, then you already know where your bag falls. Rafe’s Banyan Morgan Frame Clutch is exactly what a gal like me – and you! – needs to stay sassy all summer long. If this selection doesn’t suit your style, send me an email at and we’ll work together to find the ideal handbag for you.
Eva Mendes bares her boobs, sucks her own toes, and strikes both submissive and dominant poses, all in the name of fashion, in the latest issue of Italian Vogue. The pics have set off a firestorm on the Internets, sending traffic through the roof, and some nervous Nellies wondering if Eva has gone off the deep end and ruined her career! At least in this country. In Italy, famous actresses taking it all off and pushing sexual boundaries rarely elicits even a single “Mama mia!”
While you may hate her character with the fire of a thousand fire-breathing dragons, there’s no denying that Georgina Sparks, played by Michelle Trachtenberg, has taken Gossip Girl to a whole new level of awesome-ness. Sure she’s evil incarnate, but she has a killer sense of style sparking the envy of even the greatest Georgina-haters out there. In Monday night’s episode, Georgina hit below the belt by making a play for the nicest nice guy in the world Dan Humphrey. This scene left me with two questions: ‘What is she doing?!” and “What is she wearing?!” Lucky for you, I have the answer to the latter. Click READ MORE to get her look.
