Um, excuse me. What is a new mommy doing looking like that? The gorgeousness that is Halle Berry, seen here at the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie premier, rocked the heck out of that Herve Leroux dress. Mesh? Instant sexy.
How spicy do Ciara and Beyonce look rocking their Louis Vuitton platforms? Ethnic-inspired elements are great for the warmer seasons. I personally like incorporating ethnic prints into my accessories or else I'd feel too literal. Here are some frugally fresh picks:
Who says your Little Black Dress has to be black?
How cute does Nicky Hilton look in these ripped jeans and leather jacket? Her scarf, bag, and ballet flats still give the edgy look a preppy-girlie feel. I recently found some great distressed jean options from Forever 21! They don't look cheap, like many inexpensive ripped jeans do. If I didn't know they were from F21, I would have thought they cost at least $100! But lucky for us, these are all under $30. IMO, the light wash and the black colored jeans are the business.
I am so obsessed with Lady Gaga. She's fearless. I love the risks she takes in her outfits. Yes, it may be a ploy for publicity, but you still have to have tons of confidence to get away with what she does!
Talk about mixing high and low! Here, Beyonce is seen leaving a restaurant in NYC wearing a (pretty awesome) $11,000 marching band/Michael Jackson jacket by Balmain. I remember seeing this on Net-A-Porter thinking, who in the world has THAT much money to spend on a trendy jacket these days? Apparently, the singer who raked in $80 mill in 2008 does!
Do you have two sides to your personality like I do? On one hand, you love dainty little things, but on the other hand, you have a rebel side you don't want to tame. Then you're the perfect girl for this Skull Bouquet Ring, $6.50, from Wet Seal.
Wow! Cassie is really trying hard to get some attention. This look would work on Rihanna, but this girl is so not pulling it off. She's still gorgeous... talentless... but gorgeous.
The other day, FabSugar held a real-life trend fashion show at a Saks Fifth Avenue. My favorite look she created was what she labeled Disheveled Chic. It is so SVdW! But I was so bummed that Fab decided to use Helmut Lang's Paper Leather Jacket, $1185. Gorgeous, yes... but so out of reach today! So I recreated the look for less than $200.
If you've been a good little Recessionista and have been saving your money, you NEED to check out the Christian Louboutin boutique going on now at Gilt!
My girl Lady Gaga has a completely original style. She's bold, in-your-face, and fearless! I'm already thinking of ways to copy her look for Halloween - that means tons of squats 'cause this chick refuses to wear pants, haha.

I love Rihanna's funky ensemble here. She almost always gets it right because she doesn't overdo it. On top, it's just a white v-neck tank and a jean jacket. That Herve Leger skirt is what really makes this number fun! It's super mini, body-con, and a fun color.
This just in! This just in! Christian Louboutin sneakers to debut in the Fall! These leopard-print pony high tops were spotted at the Fall/Winter 09 press day. I can't tell if they are for men or women... but the idea of a Louboutin sneaker is pretty dope! They better come with a red sole!
