Hot Fall Trend: Over The Knee Boots

Gahhh! Unfortunately I don't live anywhere where the seasons change or NYC, so I don't get to look forward enjoying Fall/Winter, and more specifiably all the fashions it brings along with it.

Even though I'd look silly wearing boots somewhere during tropical climates, I'm madly in love with leathery looking (cuffed of slouchy) over the knee boots. I blame the Kardashians for looking so freakin cute in them.

There's so many ways to style them, you can get one pair and just wear them all season long! Thigh high boots where in fashion last autumn too, but this year their slightly chunkier, which is great if you want to be able to walk all day in them or avoid slip and falls during the winter months:


Sexy and classy with thigh bearing dress





Feminine and posh with a coat



Edgy with distressed skinnies and leather jacket



Casual yet trendy with a scarf and jeans



With a cropped blazer and jeggings



Celebrity Style: Kim Kardashian's Navy Coat

Kim Kardashian was spotted wearing her navy coat everywhere while the new season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians was being filmed in New York city.
Ever since I've been completely drawn to navy coats since they're a great alternative to black.

The original Tibi Nouveau Coating Ribbed Knit Coat in Navy can be bought at Singer22 (for $678)

Look For Less: Kardashian Sisters At Prepaid Mastercard Launch

The Kardashians really do seem to be taking over the world right now.

Kim, Khloe and Kourtney arrived at the launch of their prepaid debit card, called the Kardashian Kard, at Pacha nightclub in New York wearing collaborating ensembles.

Kim Kardashian wore a very short black, white and gold sequined dress that included a mesh neckline and sleeves. Khloe Kardashian had a similar black mesh sleeve dress and booties.

I couldn't find the exact dress the sisters wore, but found something in similar colors and sequins- for less.

1. Sequin One Shoulder Dress $44.50 @ Charlotte Russe

2. Mesh And Sequin Bodycon Dress $65.51 @ Asos

Look For Less: Audrina Patridge At Black Ops Party

Audrina Patridge wore a casual ensemble to the Black Ops launch party which was surprising. Rarely do you see celebrities so dressed down but I guess the whole look did fit the ocassion.

The boyfriend tee pictured below is the exact top seen on Audrina, while I also managed to find a pair of boots that looked very much like what she had on... well minus the hefty Louboutin price tag.

1. Rebel Yell Rainbow Boyfriend Tee $46

2. Forever 21 Denim Jeans $19.80

3. Corset Heel Bootie – $34.50



Look For Less: Mila Kunis' Leather Skirt

Mila Kunis looked modern and classy the 54th Annual Times BFI London Film Festival Black Swan photocall. Her hair and make-up were kept simple (wavy/touseled hair, brown smokey eyes and clear gloss) while her outfit consisted of a white top and sexy leather pencil skirt.

Trend Alert: Black Sequined Dresses

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz debuted a new haircut last month, and it seems to have affected her wardrobe as well. Lately we've been seeing her in things like classic capes and ladylike ensembles. She was recently spotted wearing this sleevless black sequin dress at the Decades Denim launch party, paired with bold earrings, and patent round toe pumps. 

Seems like black sequined dresses are going to be a hot trend for christmas attire and other cocktail events.

Rihanna Make-Up: Love The Way You Lie

In the hit music video for Rihanna's  single (featuring Eminem) "Love The Way You Lie" the singer was seen wearing a dramatic dark smokey and pale pink lips. If you're a beauty addict like myself you probably watched it over and over just to try and recreate her sexy make-up.

If you haven't tried it yet or where thinking of it, don't fret!
Below is a step by step guide to achieving the look.

Look For Less: Kim Kardashian at Katsuya (July 2010)

Lately I've really been drooling over Kim Kardashian's outfit choices.. or should I say the ones picked by her stylist. From the Proenza Schoulder platform shoes and Alexander Wang clutch to the - dare I say - adorable braided ponytail..

I couldn't find the exact dress for less, but found some affordable alternatives:

Look For Less: Kim Kardashian in LA (July 2010)

Kim K. was spotted in LA strutting down the streets in her Louboutin's (as usual) looking chic. The camel colored accesories may seem like overkill, yet .. the whole outfit works thanks to the white shorts, which are a staple in any closet.

Ruffled v-neck $69.50 @ Banana Republic

Kendal Jenner Photoshoot Pictures

Recently Kendal Jenner has found herself in the midst of controversey surrounding her latest bikini photoshoot, which she looked FIERCE (yes in capital letters!).

Here are some new photoshoot pictures, which i had to share.. She looks like a life sized Barbie:

Surprisingly enough, the stylist used low (Forever 21, H&M) and high end items (Christian Louboutin) for the outfits in this photoshoot.. Usually it always seems to be all about the most expensive pieces they can get their hands on, so it's great to see this mix and match.

Look For Less: Kim Kardashian in NYC

Last week Kim was seen in New York City wearing this sexy outfit, her Balenciaga handbag and usual YSL Tribute Pumps. If you love Kim's style of just this outfit, here are some ideas to get the look for less. I tried tracking down her original and/or similar light blue cropped zipper jacket, with no succes.

BET 2010 Red Carpet Pictures

This years BET award show was spectacular. With amazing performances by stars like Kanye West and Chris Brown's unforgetable Micheal Jackson tribute as he teared up in between.

And of course, what's an award show without the stars who get dekked out for them.

Ashanti was wearing a long red gown with ruffled sleeves. I'm not feeling the bottom half of this dress much. A bit too simple.

Brandy looked perfect in a grey coccoon dress. From the hair, to the shoes and the wardrobe: I love it ALL!

Fergie also looking stunning in her black and white dress with the ruffled back. Anyone else noticing that ruffles are really taking over the red carpets a second year in a row? I didn't like the shoes she paired it with though.

Jada Pinkett... I expected something else from the Hawthorne star. Specially since seeing her hot outfits in recent appearances promoting the return of her show. She seems to be wearing one of this seasons trends - hotpants (I have a post coming out about this) - and sadly... I'm not fond of these panty shorts.

Just for fun: Kid N Play. Haven't seen these two in ages.

Nia Long is always one of my favorites on the Red Carpet and though she wore a rather simple silhouette, the pop of color and perfect fit make this whole look a winner.

What did you think of this years BET Red Carpet Fashion choices?

Lauren Conrad in Navy Jumpsuit

Last week Lauren Conrad made an appearance to her Got Milk? ad campaign in LA donning a Phillip Lim Navy Jumpsuit (retails for $495), Louboutins ($359) and her Marc Jacobs handbag.
Midnight blue is a perfectly chic alternative to black for Summer. Be sure to get a jumpsuit with girly details like ruffles, and accesorize to pull the look off perfectly.

2. Silk jumpsuit $178.00 @ Jcrew

Makeup And Outfit: Kelly Rowland - Commander

Me and my friend over at Epidemic decided to do a make-up and outfit collaboration inspired by Kelly Rowland's racy new music video Commander. Thru out most of the video Ms Rowland is seen wearing a red and black latex like one piece.

Paying attention to her make up, one of the looks that stood out most was the shots of her wearing a silvery/metallic shadow and black thin cut crease on her eyes. Not an easy look to pull off or recreate but I think the results are amazing..

Here's the Epidemic version of the look:

For the tutorial, head on over to her blog.

Now, if you're not planning on walking out the door with this make up and a feathered silver onsie, here are a few more wearable outfit ideas:
