Fresh Trend: Tell Me About It, Stud!

Beyonce and hubby Jay-Z were out and about in Barcelona today. B, ever the fashion lover, was all over the stud trend rocking a studded vest and studded backpack.

Thankfully this is not a trend you need millions to take part in. Forever 21 has *literally* tons of studded items for less than $30! Here are some other great studded options from around the net. (My fav - the studded Express blazer!)

Fresh Redux: Kim Kardashian's Boyfriend Chic

Ok, so IMO, Kim Kardashian is in no way a celebrity - she's a hot girl with a banging body, and.. what?.. a sex tape? Not someone I am trying to emulate.

With that said, she was wondering about, and someone took some pictures of her. She just-so happened to be wearing a pretty cute outfit. From the Ever "Guna" Vest, to her tee, to her shorts, she was rocking the boyfriend trend. And while it is bordering on a bit too matchy for me, overall the look is casual and funky. Try reduxing it for around $100!

My Two-Cents: OK, so I was going to pretend as if I didn't totally love this cheesy 1980's punk dress. But I can't. Because I do. I don't love it enough for $885, but I might love it enough for Forever 21's $19.80. Hey, I'm 24! I have 6 more years before I have to throw away my fun clothes! LOL

Fresh Trend: Holy Moly Leggings

Can you handle Lady Gaga?! Here she is, making her way through the airport in some dark shades, a black blazer and booties, and oh yeah, holy moly leggings! (I love how she's hiding her face from photogs wearing those pants! lol)

This girl deserves an award for her fashion bravery! Brave enough to redux her look?

Fresh Redux: Erin Wasson's Ripped and Tailored

Erin Wasson looks like she was torn to pieces by some awesome fashion tiger or something! I could never wear so many rips, but more power to those of you that can!

Love her outfit? Here's how you can get her fresh look on the cheap. Key pieces: Grey boyfriend blazer, sheer tee/tank, ripped black pants, lace-up black boots.

Fresh Trend: Leighton Meester's Alterna-Tunic

Not a beach tunic kind of girl? Who said you can't look dope at the beach? Leighton Meester certainly did while at the beach in L.A. last weekend. She was rocking a Pencey One Shoulder Tee, $165.00, (and some sunblock, I hope!). Here are some inexpensive alterna-tunics so you can try out the look.

Fresh Find: Tort Wire-Rim Flip-Up Sunglasses

Ha! How freakin' awesome?!?!?!?!?!?! These round wayfarer Wire-Rim Flip-Ups, $5.20, are SO Dwayne Wayne! Even though these are super cute and unique, they still do the important stuff - like providing UV400 protection, while blocking UVA and UVB Rays.

How much confidence must you need to pull these off?

Fresh Flash: Riahnna's Tux at the Costume Insititute Gala

I love Rihanna, we all know that. Well, maybe I just love her stylist. Whatever the case, I need to give her a standing-O for wearing that menswear-inspired Dolce & Gabbana tux with bow tie exaggerated shoulders to the 2009 Costume Institute Gala held this past week. At a night where fashionistas glam it up to the max in couture gowns, Riahnna single handedy bodied them in some cropped pants. Fearless.

Fresh Redux: Rihanna's NYC Catwalk

Rihanna took to the streets of New York on May 6 looking fierce in a white power suit, leopard print blouse, and bright red lipstick.

What a statement! I took the challenge of recreating the look using a mall chain that is the polar opposite of RiRi's funky personality - New York and Company! And I think I did it! Here is a recreation of Rihanna's look head-to-to in NY & Co.

The best part? NY & Co. is offering Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off EVERYTHING! On top of that, there are $30 of $75 purchases! Too good to pass up!

Fresh Find: Forever 21 Silky Origami Dress

L-O-V-E, LOVE! This is a sexy Silky Origami Dress, $19.80, from Forever 21 - but the best part is that it doesn't even show much skin! It's a to-the-knee length with a deep V-neck, but comes equipped with hefty straps. The sexy comes when you pour your body into it.

The origami pleat detailing draws the eye straight to the waist, making it seem itsy bitsy.

Purple is such a regal beautiful color - pair it with bronze, gold, silver, or gray accessories!

Fresh Find: Denim Boyfriend Shorts

The boyfriend jean look was cute, but now that the weather is warming up, baggy jeans won't cut it! We need to keep our legs cool (and tan). Enter.... boyfriend shorts!

These cute Denim Boyfriend Shorts in Deep Indigo, $49.50, (by 1, get 1 50% off) from Express are relaxed, trendy, and stylish.

I would throw these on over my bathing suit for day, or rock them with heels and a blouse at night. I love when trends allow us to go out in comfort!

Fresh Fit: After Party Aztec

What: Basic black tank, a Top Shop skirt, and T-Strap sandals.
Where: After parties
When: Friday night
Why: Wanted to look cute after the concert got rained out. Unfortunately, we never made it to the party, so this outfit will be recycled very soon in the future!

Top, L-R:
1. A brown moto-jacket with pink piping?! How effing cute!
2. Such a gorgeous bright scarf! I'd love to pair it with the brown jacket!
3. This teal dress with jeweled neckline is a great beach-to-dinner outfit.

Bottom, L-R:
1. Do like Rihanna and opt for a funky patern top to throw over your bathing suit, instead of ae run-of-the-mill beach tunic.
2. A drop-dead-gorgeous bikini. So fun!
3. Dope glasses. Very Pucci!
