How celebs rock little black dress

From time to time I can't help but blog about this fashion basic that Coco Chanel first introduced to the world in 1926. It might not be true to everyone, of course, but a little black dress is simply classic and by rule, is a must-have.  I can't live without having it in my closet. If you're curious, this is how I wear little black dress.

It is much interesting to note how celebrities wear little black dress, how they shine at the red carpets amidst long gowns and how they sparkle in this no-longer-a-mourning-outfit at premieres or other events.

Here are some of my favorite celeb looks:  

Angelina Jolie in a black mini at the premiere for her new movie 'Salt.'

Heidi Klum attended InStyle's "Best of British Talent" fete in a shiny Marchesa mini that featured trendy feathers on the shoulders and skirt.

Amy Adams was seen at the 22nd Annual Producers Guild Awards in a sexy Andrew Gn dress.

Kristen Stewart looked like a princess in this Marchesa little black dress  she wore at the premiere of the movie "Eclipse".

If asked what little black dresses I have my eyes on right now, these three topped my list:
♥ 1) Taffetta dress  ♥ 2) Strapless Drape Dress and ♥ 3)Rippling Motion Dress

They would give me a feel of that celebrity look if and only if they wouldn't hurt my pocket. 

So tell me girls, are you a fan of little black dress?

Fabulously yours,

Fashion don't! Snooki's Fashion Faux Pas

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi. Not only is she accused of faking brown skin, which literally does not look tanned but like true brown, but she is also recently accused of committing a very serious crime - fashion faux pas - which is hilariously big one!

She can pass as an Asian given that she's small, the black hair suits her and that she's looking cute and hot with those pair of gorgeous proud assets. We know that her looks combined with her skank acts helped for her to land the reality TV scenes of Jersey Shore. However, now that she has secured the third season of this show, she should at least learn how to dress better. With the money she pocketed from Jersey Shore, she is expected to be able to afford some fresh and fashionable new outfits. Or NOT?

Case in point: kindergarten knee length mismatched socks, a pair of black elementary shoes, a men's cycling shorts and underrated pink top and pink hankie.

Hollywood's most expensive engagement rings

We always look at celebrities fashion; we admire and scrutinize. We update ourselves with what they wear, how they wear and where they shop. In times, we try to copy their looks. However, it is as much fascinating as fashion updates to take a look at celebrities’ engagement rings. A little peek on how some celebrities say that big Yes! and how they sport that big bling is terrifyingly inspiring.

Just like every one of us, celebrities get engaged because of love. Of course, it must be love! But because they are public figures, everyone would be looking at the engagement ring. The first question that everyone asks is “How much?” It's inevitable that people compare the estimated price of their bling. Some celebrity betrothed turn out to be big spenders when it comes to love. They show how much they are willing to spend for the woman that they intend to spend the rest of their lives with. On the other hand, there are also these practical celebrity betrothed that are not very extravagant; spending only reasonable amount for a reasonably beautiful bling. Yet, we cannot rate the degree of their love towards their celebrity fiancées mainly based on the amount of their engagement rings. After all, a ring, regardless of its symbol and worth, is just a ring. There are so much more in a marriage than just a bling.

Do you remember the time when there was a huge gossip about the Bennifer engagement ring? When Ben Affleck proposed to Jennifer Lopez, the estimated cost of the ring dropped jaws. The first rough estimate of the ring was $3 million. However, the latter estimation by experts settled at $1.2 million. That was a lot. No wonder the talk about that ring dominated the gossip columns across the country. Yet, despite the attention that the ring generated, it didn't, as it turned out, top the list of Hollywood's most expensive engagement rings. In fact, it is said to only 6th from the top.

Here are only some of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings.

1) Jennifer Lopez Other Half: Marc Anthony, State of Union: Married,
Estimated Cost: $5 million
2) Celebrity: Heidi Klum Other Half: Seal, State of Union: Married,
Estimated Cost: $1.5 million
3) Mariah Carey, Other Half: Nick Cannon.
Estimated Cost: $2.5 million
4) Victoria Beckham Other Half: David Beckham, State of Union: Married
Estimated Cost: $1 million
5) Jennifer Lopez, Other Half: Ben Affleck, State of Union: Never Married
Estimated Cost: $3 million
6) Celebrity: Beyonce, Other Half: Jay-Z , State of Union: Married
Estimated Cost: $5 million

There are still many of the most expensive engagement rings in Hollywood that we are not privileged to see. It would be neat to get a glimpse of Paris Hilton's 24-carat emerald cut diamond ring from Paris Latis on his promise to wed her which is said to top the list of the most expensive bling in Hollywood. Despite the engagement being canceled only after five months, their engagement ring still remains at the top.

Some ladies are just privileged to have a rare and very expensive stone as a symbol of love.

Fashion Don't! Katie Holmes Fashion Faux Pas?

There's this video of Hollywood's Most Well-Dressed Mom-Kid duos by Shine featuring the top five most fashionable moms and their stylish kids. Guess what? Katie Holmes topped the list along with her daughter, Suri. I've no question about that. Katie undeniably wears cute outfits and Suri evidently knows how to style in spite of being only four years old.

However, there is something that troubles me tonight. It's this troubling outfit that I spotted on her -- consisting of a bold button-down, baggy boy jeans, and granny shoes -- while she was in and about LA.

Tell me girls. Are you as troubled as me upon seeing this outfit? Should we add this to our Fashion Don't! list?

Fashion Don't! Paloma Faith's Fashion Faux Pas

Just the other day I spoke about how Japanese fashion use more than three colors in an outfit - usually bright if not bold colors - and that how they come up with playful and girly combinations. Well today, let us see how Brit Paloma Faith has almost applied this same principle in her outfit when she attended the 40th anniversary celebrations of Browns on May 12, 2010 in London, England. She stepped out in "a multi-colored muumuu, mismatched stockings, platform pumps, and a horrific, electric-blue hat." OMG

Now ladies, you be the judge. Is this a fashion faux pas or not? Should we add this outfit in our Fashion Don't! list?

Fashion Don't? Sarah Jessica Parker's Outfit

What makes you want to see the “Sex and the City” series? Is it the romance, the comedy or the fashion that makes you get hooked?

Carrie Bradshaw may not be so great nor should I say so lucky when it comes to relationship but she is stunningly a fashion icon. For someone who’d rather buy Vogue instead of dinner and with intense love for shoes, there’s no doubt she deserves her fashion status.

Thanks to this Carrie Bradshaw persona that made Sarah Jessica Parker a style icon. However, does being such an icon make her not capable of getting caught in a catastrophe? Examine what she wore to a Press Junket for the “Sex and the City 2”.

Case in Point: Pair of acid wash trousers

Notice how this outfit was made up of all plain basic colors – the scarf, cardigan, sling bag and clogs. You’d like to think Sarah just put on anything she had her hands first without actually thinking. No wonder the OMG writers called this a tragic outfit.

Now vote for yourself girls. Should we add this outfit to our fashion don’t list?

How short do you wear shorts?

With nice weather and summer, denim shorts can make great outfits. Girls with nice legs can be seen strutting the streets in them while those who are not comfortable baring their legs opt to wear their shorts with tights. But there's one question that I heard asked, "How long or how short would you like to wear your shorts? Hmmm, for me, I usually wear shorts 2 inches below the pocket. They can be considered short shorts but I'm comfortable in them.

Let us take a look at how these girls wore their shorts.

Natural Worn Out jeans: AG Denim

Some keen observers have said that jeans are one of the items that are not often seen in the blogosphere. Perhaps this is due to the notion that jeans are simply for usual everyday outfit. Thus style bloggers, those who blog about their daily outfits, rarely feature themselves wearing jeans.

Even though there is truth about jeans being a ready-to-go everyday outfit, they can also be done up so that you can create an elegant look from them. More importantly, there are several ways you can choose to wear jeans such as creating geek or boyish free style look. I'd like to take a note at how celebrities wear jeans.

A one-of-a-kind look that celebrities are seen sporting lately is the mimic of an old denim jeans, worn out by ex-boyfriends, a wash that's been worn for years. Created in 2000 by jean geniuses Adriano Goldschmied and Yul Ku, AG Denim quickly rose to celeb status. Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria, Fergie, Heidi Klum, Gwynth Paltrow, Vanessa Minnillo, Charlize Theron and Cameron Diaz, are few from the many that patronize AG denim. The idea of this brand is to create jeans that copies the look of a worn out jeans over the years but in a natural polished way with modern touch.

Get that look! StyleCaster

Girls, admit it. Your style is inspired and influenced not only by your favorite celebrities or favorite fashion magazines but also by some fashion blogs where online fashion reporters and trend spotters update you with "what's up?". Why not? It’s easier and much quicker, right? You just log on to your favorite site and check what they say: what’s hot, what’s in and what’s not? These sites give you the idea of what possible outfit combinations you can try on and experiment. And what is much exciting about this is that there are tons of fashion websites out there where you can get inspiration from.

Let me introduce to you a website of such that I discovered very recently. Style Caster is just like any other fashion websites that caters news about fashion and beauty. However, what I like about them is the idea that tons of different looks are filed for you to explore. When you download the fashion page, all outfits and looks will slide out and whichever grabs your attention, you click that image and it will expand. And when the image pops out bigger; you will see who is the stylist that created that look, who is the model and where you can get the items that made up the entire look. So if you really like what you see, then you would easily find the items at store.

My favorite part is the fashion news and beauty tips. It is where you get ideas on what is in and how to get them. But what is more lovely about a site is when everything is categorized for you such as celebrity column, lifestyle, fashion, beauty and it’s like everything is in there all at once. Therefore I highly recommend that you girls visit Style Caster. Then if you have a minute, tell me what you think.

And oh, if you girls noticed, we are having a habit lately of giving bonus. Yeah. So today we got another one. If you love updates about celebrity gossips? We found Culturally Clad to be a perfect place.
