The Rachel Zoe Project: AH-MA-ZING!

I first heard of Rachel Zoe several years ago during her dramatic fallout with Nicole Richie that took place in the pages of US Weekly. She has taken a lot of heat in the press for her extremely tiny frame, but I think people lose focus of her amazing gift. She is a genius stylist with clients such as Cameron Diaz, Eva Mendes, and Anne Hathaway.

Watching her show is like slipping into a glamorous dream world. Her adorable assistant Brad is the most hilarious and fabulous sidekick! I love when the camera pans the couture confections and crazy gorgeous accessories in her studio! The first episode of the Rachel Zoe Project didn't disappoint. A few months ago, I saw a blip on the People Magazine website saying her assistant, Taylor, had left the company. Now we know that little bitch was ripping Ms. Rachel off! Although I do have to say, she had amazing hair!

We got to watch Rachel handle this scandle with grace, and of course, some dramatics. We also got to see Demi Moore in a beachside photo shoot feeding a giraffe in huge, heeless boots (think Lady GaGa's constant footwear). I can't wait to see what the glorious Miss Zoe has up her caftan sleeves for the rest of the season!

Discount Designer Drama

I have recently been on the hunt for discounted designer deliciousness. I'm addicted to eBay, fighting tooth and nail for True Religion jeans and Lacoste sweaters. I discovered the Ideeli website, which offers great bargains on beautiful clothes. The only catch is you need to move fast or you'll miss out. Many items sell out quickly.

A website I recently joined, but am not fond of, is guiltlessglamour.com. It's an auction website, and you receive five free bids when you join the site. However, the packages for bidding are pricey. The smallest package is 25 bids for $24.95. Another annoyance is that when you bid, the time snaps back and allows more time for other bidders to attack. To me, this seems like a scam to use up your money as fast as possible.

Although I love the thrill of the chase, I'm starting to think I should just start buying retail and save myself the stress of bidding and bidding again. Then again, my beautiful white $7 vintage Lacoste sweater was totally worth the battle.

Commando Is a No-no!

Hollywood is often the start of many trends in America and around the globe. But there is one Hollywood trend that us regular girls need to stay away from. WEAR YOUR UNDERWEAR! If you're worried about a visible panty line, opt for a thong or a special seamless panty. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT leave your home without your underroos! It's classless. The only person who should see your downstairs is a gynocologist. I'm talking to you Paris Hilton! You too Lindsay Lohan!

Paris Hilton was wearing an exquisite sapphire gown at a party during the Cannes Film Festival. Not only did she lift her dress and expose her booty for the crowd -and cameras- to see. She also flashed her bubbies! Cannes is a place for intelligent, sophisticated people Ms. Hilton. If you don't know how to apply double sided tape, don't bother attending!

Lindsay Lohan is another star famous for flashing her naughty bits. Linds, this is how everyone knows you're a fire crotch sweetheart! The paparazzi hounds you. Learn how to get out of a car in a proper and ladylike fashion my dear.

Everyone, male or female, we don't need to know what's happening downstairs. Keep it classy. Leave something to the imagination. This has been a public service announcement from yours truely.

Sex and the City 2: Sexy In The City?

Carrie Bradshaw's fashion choices haven't always been the best, but after the fabulous outfits from the first Sex movie, I was expecting big things for the sequel. The cost of the wardrobe was estimated at $10 million. I felt that the girls were either covering up their best physical features, or trying to be a little too edgy or fashion forward. The character whose outfits never disappointed was Charlotte. Her style epitomizes classic Old Hollywood glamour a la Grace Kelly. Her long gowns were gorgeous and her at-home style was straight out of a Ralph Lauren ad. Loved loved loved Kristen Davis!

I also think Cynthia Nixon was looking so much sexier this time around. Her clothes were much more colorful and figure flattering. She looked amazing. Kim Cattrall looks amazing for her age, but they overdid her accessories. The lady's body is off the hook people! Let it shine! I thought that Matthew Williamson sequin dress was absolutely hideous. Without the belt, it would have looked so much better. I also thought the red dress with the spiky shoulders was tacky, but the color looked great on her.

Now on to SJP. I would do terrible, unforgiveable things for that gal's physique! I don't understand why she was swaddled in loose robes for most of the movie. I did love her Halston Heritage dresses though. She did a great job promoting her fashion line. I thought it was great for her to wear a tux to Stanford's wedding, but her hat... What the heck WAS that? She loved like a rejected extra from Lord of the Rings! I loved her jewlery though. She wore a diamond shamrock necklace during the film. Patricia Field, the costume designer, created a similar necklace which is now available at Payless Shoes for only $12! Go make like Carrie and grab one!

The part of the movie that disturbed me the most was when they destroyed a Birkin bag. A Birkin bag! And, ladies and gentleman, not only is the Birkin line itself extremely exclusive, but this was an OSTRICH SKIN Birkin! I almost threw up when they broke the handle! This beautiful orange little piece of Heaven was laying dejected in an Abu Dhabi street market! It really was fashion roadkill, as Stanford Blach once famously said.

This traumatizing fashion moment aside, who did I think was the most dapper character in the sequel? Mr. Big, of course. He never fails to look sophisticated, whether it be in a tuxedo or a simple button up. I love that man. He's like a fine wine. He only gets better with age. Even though some of the costume choices were iffy, the movie was fantastic. I plan on seeing it at least once more. If you haven't seen it yet, go see Carrie and the girls on the big screen!

Sarah Jessica Parker: Forever Fashionable In The City

Sarah Jessica Parker cemented herself as a style icon when Sex and the City premiered in 1998. As Carrie Bradshaw, she made Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, and Christian Loubiton household names. She started many trends and helped many designers sell their fashions. Since the show ended in 2004, Parker designed a low budget fashion line, Bitten, for the Steve and Barry department stores. Everything is the collection was under $20! She is currently designing for Halston Vintage.

Parker will be on the red carpet much more in the coming weeks as the second Sex and The City movie appears in theaters. My prediction is that she will be wearing many of her Halston Vintage designs, and perhaps an Alexander McQueen creation in honor of the late designer. I cannot wait to see the movie and see all the beautiful clothes the girls are wearing. The last movie didn't disappoint!

Lady GaGa's Cuckoo Couture

I'm all for individuality, but Lady GaGa takes it over the edge. From her pantsless outfits to her gravity-defying hair, the girl is insane. Most of those outfits aren't even appropriate for the stage. Leather, cone bras, thongs, and solar system head pieces are everyday attire for the singer. She recently even admitted she was cited for indecent exposure at a concert. Hmmmm.... I wonder how that could've happened!

When GaGa does attempt to be modest, she always adds an accessory to ensure she will stand out in a crowd. She has pushed the envelope much more than Madonna, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguiliera combined. I personally wish she would stop exposing herself in public. You can still stand out without showing it all. Maybe her new celibate lifestyle will encourage her to be more conservative. However, I wouldn't count on it.

A Little Taste of "The Hills"

Anyone who watches "The Hills" knows all about Lauren Conrad, or LC. For four seasons, she ruled the L.A. scene with her friends before leaving the show to become an author and designer. Though her high end Lauren Conrad collection did not receive the warmest welcome, her new collection at Kohl's is earning rave reviews. But the best part is that everything is affordable!

Conrad's collection could be described as "California cool". Her tops range from white, crisp blouses to flowy floral tank tops. She also features a variety of loose, comfortable t-shirts screen printed with various designs. The collection has jeans, capris, and leggings. There also cute ruffle skirts that can be used to dress up during the day, and be worn out at night. My favorite piece in this collection is the ruffled tank top dress. It is sapphire in color and belted to accent the waist. It is perfect for both day and nighttime outings and is currently marked down to $41.99! Kohl's is having lots of spring time sales, so run there and get your own little piece of California!
