Most celebrities are brand loyal to a degree, but based on my observation of R&B chanteuse Ciara, she’s loyal to a fault. And I mean that as a figure of speech only, of course. As if I could ever actually find fault with someone for wearing too much Givenchy! Perish the thought. And even if I didn’t like, I doubt Ciara would care. We’ve seen her in Givenchy on the red carpet as well as toting a different Givenchy bag on a casual daytime outing with friend Kim Kardashian, but [...]

Celebrities seem to be picking up on the popularity of Celine in full force now. First it was just us fashion folks paying attention, and then some of the more fashion-focused celebs took note, and now regular stars like Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas was seen carrying the brand new Celine Luggage Phantom Tote while in New York City to play a charity show in Central Park. The Luggage Phantom is an update on the ever-popular Luggage Tote shape that was new for Pre-Fall 2011, and it has a [...]

No matter how much time passes, I’ll always be a fan of former talk show host Ricki Lake, probably because I have such positive associations with her old daytime show. It aired while I was in elementary and middle school, and I used to watch it during my summer vacations when my parents were at work and it was too hot to go play outside in the awful Atlanta summer swelter. Chants of “Ricki! Ricki! Ricki!” still sound like summer to me. Ricki’s no longer a talk show host, but [...]

I’m all about being self-sufficient, but if I were even marginally rich, I’d definitely pay someone to take my packages to the post office for me. There is no errand that I enjoy less than shipping things, even if I avoid the United States Postal Service in favor of UPS or FedEx. If there were one thing I could pawn of on someone else, that would be it. Oh, and changing my sheets. Perhaps January Jones‘ assistant took this day off, because the paparazzi caught January schlepping a large box [...]

I can’t remember the last time I saw an actress at a major event be named simultaneously named the best and worst dressed woman of the night by so many different publications and websites, so the almost wholly split decision over Cate Blanchett‘s Givenchy Haute Couture dress from Sunday night’s 2011 Academy Awards is absolutely something to be noted. As is the dress itself; I’m one of those people who believe it deserves a spot on the Best Dressed List. So few actresses would be able to convincingly pull off [...]

In a way, I sort of feel bad for Nicki Minaj. If it weren’t for Lady Gaga and her traveling circus of insanity, Nicki would probably be the most insane (and therefore the most attention-getting) member of the pop music universe right now, but instead, she’s just the female rapper in the crazy Givenchy leopard getup at the 2011 Grammy Awards. Don’t get me wrong, Minaj got plenty of attention for this outfit and its attendant leopard-print wig, but trying to out-crazy Lady Gaga is akin to trying to outrun [...]

For Fall 2010, basically trendiest, most must-have item in all of fashion was the Burberry Prorsum Shearling Bomber Jacket. Not only were they relentlessly sought after and unfairly difficult to find, but once you did find one, the prospect of purchasing it was so prohibitively expensive that only people who can write off these sorts of things on their taxes probably bought one. (Read: fashion people.) I say this all in the past tense because these jackets, like the one stylist and professional Fashion Person Rachel Zoe is wearing in [...]

Is the Balenciaga Matelasse Satchel coming back? I’m not aware of any impending return, but we all know that Katie Holmes is not one to carry a bag from years gone by, so seeing her out and about with her family and a several-years-old quilted brown Balenciaga is enough to make me ask the question. The bag isn’t the only thing that struck me as odd about these photographs, though. First, that’s some awkward hand-holding, you guys. Not a great way to shrug off the arranged-marriage rumors! Second, the outfit. [...]

Sometimes I think that Kim Kardashian is a lot more like the rest of us than some folks would like to admit. Sure, she has an unconventional career, but she’s used her money exactly like so many fashion-loving women would: to buy as much fabulous bags, shoes and clothing as she can possibly wear (and probably more). I know that if I won the lottery, the first thing on my agenda would be a new wardrobe, and Kim’s living the dream. Just like the rest of us, though, she seems [...]

Before we talk about the bag, lets discuss exactly how beautiful the babies would be if Katie Cassidy and apparent Gossip Girl love interest Chace Crawford were actually in love and got married and had babies? They’re both just about as conventionally attractive as mortal humans can be, and the combination of their genes would probably cause Earth to tilt ever-so-slightly off its axis. Anyway, on to the clothes. I’m not loving the outfit that the show’s stylists have chosen for Cassidy in these photos, but I do love some [...]

There are certain occasions when it is ok to try to match your date/boyfriend/husband. Going to lunch at a burger joint is not one of them, especially when it involves your boyfriend wearing leopard printed loafers. But leave that to Scott Disick, who is always trying to put on a scene to garner attention. I know it is his ‘thing’ to dress like he is heading to a high society event at every moment of his life, but he always looks like he is trying far too hard. Last week, [...]

It’s a well-established fact that I kind of love Nicole Richie – I’ve thought that she was hilarious ever since her Simple Life days, and it’s nice to see her finally come to a point in her life where she seems happy with herself. Her personal style has only gotten better over those years, and you only have to take a look at her various clothing and accessories lines to know that. I’m not sure where she is that such a cozy outfit is necessary (we’re sweating it out in [...]
