Not only do I remember when Hilary Duff was the adorable, fresh-faced Lizzie McGuire, but as a tweener at the time, I was actually in her target audience, if a little on the old end. I never watched her show, but I remember having friends who were obsessed with it, and that period of my life doesn’t seem like all that long ago. Duff’s guest turn on Gossip Girl seemed like a natural career progression – she went from a tween idol to a participant in a guilty pleasure for [...]

Why is it that starlets who buy blue jean Hermes Birkins always seem to beat them up? We all remember Lindsay Lohan’s blue jean horror show from back when such things were still shocking from her, and now Hilary Duff is the next in line to pretend that her Birkin is a potato sack. These stars can do whatever they want with their own possessions, of course, but it still mystifies me that people are so cavalier with things on which they’ve spent exorbitant amounts of money. Bags are meant [...]

Mostly I don’t think too much about price tags when I write about celebrities, but every now and then I’m reminded of the astronomical amount of money that some stars spend to look normal and casual. These photos of Hilary Duff triggered one such moment of reflection; she doesn’t necessarily look more chic than any of my 20-something female friends on an average weekend day, but her shoes and bag both have four-digit price tags. Duff’s khaki green Balenciaga Suede Velo Bag is the kind of designer accessory that doesn’t [...]

Normally, I’d have something snarky to say about the outfit that Hilary Duff is wearing in these photos, but I’ll save it for another time. She made the smart decision to park directly in front of her pilates studio, which says “PILATES” right on the window, so it’s impossible to mistake why she might be wearing sweats in public. Also, I certainly look far less adorable and perfectly coiffed when I finish a workout, so, uh, good for her. In keeping with the tradition of starlets using big, expensive handbags [...]

Some people in the body-snarking blogosphere like to say mean things about Hilary Duff‘s weight, and I just can’t figure out why. To me, she looks like a beautiful, normal girl in her 20s with a perfectly attractive and capable body. She might not be a complete stick figure, but to look at her and think she needs to lose weight says a lot more about the mental states of the people saying those things than it does about her actual physical appearance. Surely Duff has heard some of that [...]

Is it just me, or have a lot of people gotten engaged recently? Is there a particular time of year that that happens often? I’m not sure – I’m 24, so the first wave of my friends to get engaged is just now doing so, and I don’t know what kinds of patterns will emerge over time. Among the recently engaged (but sadly, not among my friends) is Hilary Duff, who has been dating her hockey-playing fiancé for several years now, so it doesn’t surprise me that he decided to [...]

I’ve seemed to be on a huge quest to find the perfect workout bag. I’d love to have a great bag to carry to the gym with me. Looks like if I ever start making the kind of money Hilary Duff does, I might have to follow in her footsteps. Hilary was seen heading to and leaving the gym in LA carrying nothing other than a great, large and fashionable bag. Oh, and this isn’t just any bag, it is a Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM. The rest of her outfit [...]

Just when I thought that I was safe from thoughts of hot Balenciaga lust, Hilary Duff has to send me crashing straight back to reality. I love the brand, I always will, and I am years away from being free of the desire to constantly collect new ones. The only question I have is which one my next will be. I have thus far not warmed up to the brand’s new(ish) covered hardware, but the sight of Ms. Duff carrying a Balenciaga Giant Covered Hardware Work Bag in what appears [...]

Welp, even celebrities have bad days. Sure, we all know this, but at least you don’t get photographed by the paparazzi as you grab the parking ticket off your windshield. While I am usually able to control my frustration, if I was followed by the paparazzi all day every single day and they caught me looking at a parking ticket, they would see a none-too-pleased Shannon. However, Hilary Duff certainly has her acting down pat, because she wasn’t photographed unleashing the furry as she picked up her ticket. Hilary was [...]

I know, NYC Mercedes Benz Fashion Week wrapped up a while ago. However, since I like to live in the world where every week is Fashion Week, I figured I’d continue to bring some images of celebs attending some great shows. I covered Amanda Bynes last week as she caught the BCBG show. And today, here are some great images of her as she attended the Herve Leger show. In fact, one of my favorites is the one with Amanda and Hilary Duff. Rumor has it they chatted before, during [...]

I have no problem admitting when I am wrong and this is one of those cases. When I first saw this bag carried by Hilary Duff, I was fairly certain it was Botkier, yet I had a few doubts. Thankfully, ladies from the Purse Forum chimed in and let me know that I was in fact wrong. Hilary is not carrying a Botkier on the set of Gossip Girl, she’s actually carrying the Rebecca Minkoff Fringe Darling Shoulder Bag. Thank goodness for a little extra help. Hilary and the other [...]

I’m enjoying Hilary Duff‘s participation in The Greatest Show of Our Time, Gossip Girl, but I’m not really sure that I understand or support what she’s doing in this outfit. Which is unfortunate, because she normally looks so adorable. She wore this Herve Leger bandage dress to see the line’s Spring 2010 presentation in New York City in September, and while I understand that it’s kind of a thing to wear a designer’s work to their runway show, I think she could have chosen a better dress for her body.
