[Celebrities get paid to look good and serve as a style guide to all us common folk, and part of looking good is flaunting their totally awesome fashion sense. Each week, I will be highlighting my Style Idol of the week: a celebrity who consistently shows keen fashion sense and whose closet I would raid in a heartbeat.

Of course, no celebs are immune to the occasional “what the hell were they thinking?” moment, but for the most part, these celebs look foxy and fabulous and inspire us all to do the same.]

Gwen Stefani has long been associated with fashion; whether rocking her unique personal style, or showing her latest L.A.M.B line, Gwen knows what it means to be stylish. She’s never been afraid to take risks, and they almost always pay off. Her love of wild and bright prints, lots of color and, of course, her signature platinum hair and red lips, set Gwen apart from the rest of Hollywood’s fashionistas.

Gwen Stefani has never fit into the mold of “what’s hot now”; she created it. Despite the fact that she goes for bold choices, she carries them with an air that makes it all look effortless, owning the look instead of letting it own her.

It doesn’t matter if she’s pregnant or not, running errands or getting married; Gwen Stefani certainly knows how to make an impression. Read More »

My style idol this week is someone who has recently come into her own and proven to the world that you can come out of a (very) bad break-up stronger and more beautiful than ever before: Anne Hathaway.

Ever since her life seemed to be falling apart early this summer when her ex was accused of fraud and tax evasion, Anne has been kicking some major booty. Not only is she getting rave reviews and Oscar buzz for her role in Rachel Getting Married, she’s doin’ it all while looking gorgeous and glam.

Let’s be honest; Anne hasn’t always been totally up on style or considered a fashion icon. Lately, however, she’s been seen everywhere sporting well thought-out ensembles that are trendy yet unique, classy, and do a phenomenal job of highlighting her long & lean frame.

She’s often seen in darling and feminine dresses, is a big fan of belts, and, when on the red carpet, she’s fantastic at throwing back to old Hollywood glamour with gorgeous gowns by designers like Marchesa and Dior. This combination of new-found style and a killer new haircut has turned her into a bonafide fashion star and officially has me drooling over her closet. Read More »

So basically I’ve been obsessed with Gwen Stefani since waaaay back in the days of Tragic Kingdom (I’ve only seen No Doubt in concert about eight times). And I’m soooo excited to see what she’s going to do tonight on American Idol! I haven’t even really been following this season – mainly because I watched last year and once Taylor Hicks won, I vehemently decided that from that point on I was anti-idol. However, I now have a new-found respect for the show, since they’re inviting my Gwennie to coach the final 10 and then perform “The Sweet Escape” with Akon (!) on the Wednesday results show. Stay tuned, kids…

As I patiently await the arrival of the Material Girl’s collection for H&M, I couldn’t help but take a sneak peak on hm.com.

After using up about an hour of my valued facebook time, I finally made my way through H&M’s slow website. I have decided Madonna should stick to her day job.

It’s clear Madonna is not a clothing designer. Her clothes seem to go from ridiculous (a catsuit? A turban?) to extremely boring. Do we really need another little black dress or a white pant suit? She also seems to love thick belts and cropped pants that fall right below the knee. I know she loves riding horses but I don’t have a need for riding pants.

The M by Madonna collection is also far from the normally affordable H&M price tags. I mean there are some items I am considering buying, like a white trench, and a sequence mod dress, but they’re a little pricey.

Once images of the collection are available I will give an update, but in the meantime check out the collection here.

Yay! I just learned that my idol from Sex in the City, SJP a.k.a. Carrie Bradshaw is set to launch her own affordable clothing line, Bitten.

Sarah Jessica Parker is a fashion icon. Ever since her preciously hip and sometimes wacky outfits on the show, I have followed her every move from fragrance to hair color, and now clothing.

Unfortunately, I am not one of the lucky ones who have had the honor of previewing the collection. But insiders are saying it is being compared to the latest fashion line, The Row, created by the Olsen twins. Despite all the hype I am still waiting to see both lines for myself before I make any comparisons.

To my dismay there are practically zero details about the new SJP line which is making me sweat with anxiety (not really, but I want to know now, damnit!). I’ll be sure to keep on the updates!
