Get the Look: Gwen Stefani on the New No Doubt Tour


Let's be honest, we all want that body after two kids- I can't help you with that part. But Gwen's new take on punk rock chic is absolutely fab and easily imitated! Pair the "I'm just a girl' look with the midriff white tank top ("be afraid" tank from topshop.com), and black bra showing underneath is simple enough, then add in a cream white tuxedo jacket like this John Lewis Planet version and Helmut Lang's white pant with black detailing (both from Shopbop.com) and you are in business. Though black detailing and harem-cut of the pants are most likely custom made, you can still capture the feel with these alternatives. The black riding boot is key for this look, try the Ann Demeulemeester buckle boots which may be more useful for street wear (found at luisaviaroma.com). Don't forget your red lipstick and hard girl image- they are key to getting that hard yet sexy attitude with the outfit that we all love about our leading lady!!

Pool Party Attire




The perfect outfit for a pool party at night- cut outs included-these sexy little numbers were all the rage at Miami Fashion Week, and though my immediate reaction when thinking about a one-piece is "grandma", I am fully embracing the idea of "practically two-piece" cut out one-pieces. Invest in one of these, ladies, it will serve you well for any yacht parties you may be able to finagle yourself into and especially for summer 2010 fashion statements!

Packing for Paris Fashion Week

For the lucky few who have scored seats to Paris Fashion Week shows, or may be just taking a trip for the heck of it- a word to the wise, keep it simple ladies- Parisians can usually spot us coming a mile away with our hot pink bourrets, bright yellow band shirts, and tie dye skinny jeans. You want to make a statement, you don't want to make a spectacle of yourself. If you want to look great but you are on a budget having spent all of your money on the ticket- splurge instead on a simple pair of Christian Louboutins in either black, white, or gray, and pair it with something in black and white striped for that classic French look- you will still look edgey, but you will blend a little more with the locals!

What I am loving right now

80s and 90s styles mixed in with new detailing- studs are BACK! and no I am not talking about men- tie die is making a cameo, and thin white tank tops and t-shirts are an easy pair with denim! Really, think Molly Ringwald with Samantha Ronson's modern taste.
