Gossip Girl style is all all over Shop It To Me lately! Case in point – this adorable Elie Tahari Sequined Floral Dress worn by the one and only Blair Waldorf was in my Salemail this morning!
The shimmery little number – originally $698 – is now on sale for $488 in a few remaining sizes. Getting sought after celebrity style has never been this easy (or affordable).
In my opinion, the best part of any awards show is undeniably on the red carpet. The pre-show beats any drama (ahem, Kanye) that happens once the stars file in and take their seats. Let’s face it – seeing these lovely celebs decked out in some of the most gorgeous designer duds in existence is such a treat!
Another reality TV show star launching a fashion line… legitimate designer or just another way to claim celebrity?
Since she’s one of my personal favorites, I was actually excited to hear about Whitney Port’s new line, “Whitney Eve”. I instantly wondered if her line would feel true to the character we know and love from “The Hills” and “The City”. As part of Fashion Week’s Day 1 agenda today, I was pleased to read that it sounds like the line held true to Whitney’s persona of girly romantic glam, LA-come-NewYorker!
Reviews shared:
“Classic, Chanel-esque. Lace, suit jackets, playful strapless dresses with tulle and frilly blouses, glittery…” – OK Magazine
“Whitney Eve mixes silver and gold metallics, airy fabrics and draping and details like slits, ruffles and cutouts for a girly, put-together look. Several modern takes on the business suit were shown, pairing slim pants and feminine boyfriend-style blazers. And the look got a little edgier with a party dress or two that had exposed zippers.” – MTV News
Her inspiration, she says, is a word she made up: “funderland.” “We’re doing kind of like Alice in Wonderland goes to a really chic cocktail party,” she explains. “It’s really fun and playful and feminine and flirty.” – E Online
Other fun facts: Whitney incorporated music from the Rolling Stones among others, and oversaw the musical supervision of the show, and her “City” co-stars Jay and Olivia attended and showed their support..
While the line seems to convey her persona, and her creative inspiration, (and is quite cute!) I’m not convinced that Whitney will be taken seriously. Seems to me that Fashion Week should be highlighting technical design skills, and I don’t know how those of TV stars can even come close to trained designers. Thoughts?
After crossing paths with this image of Rachel Zoe’s studio, I simply could not resist throwing the celebrity stylist a shout-out:
What’s better than a zillion pairs of heels, and watching the gal who gets to play with them? I’d say few things come close (at least as far as TV entertainment goes). So set your TiVos, people, because The Rachel Zoe Project, Season 2 starts TONIGHT at 10pm on Bravo.

I was glued to my TV this past season of So You Think You Can Dance. For starters, the judges noted on several occasions that the group of dancers was the most talented the show had ever seen. But they’re not the only ones who raised the bar. From YSL suits to Dior dresses, in each episode the gorgeous host Cat Deeley wore an outfit even more stunning than the last.
Now Cat’s Alexander Wang finale dress has shown up in my Shop It To Me Salemail for 50% off! There’s only one left, so all you size 4s can still snag this find if you act fast!
Which celebrity look was your favorite: Leighton Meester’s flirty frock, Kristen Stewart’s rocker spikes, Kristen Bell’s trendy jumpsuit, or Megan Fox’s glam getup?
If you’re anything like me, you simply cannot get enough of the Mad Men characters and their sleek ’60s style. Well good news: Banana Republic has teamed up with the AMC original series to create Mad Men-inspired attire. Now you can look like lovely Betty, sexy Joan, or even dapper Don!
I checked out the line over the weekend and must say that I’m quite enthralled. There is one classic black “Betty” dress that practically begs to be thrown on over a vintage slip and accessorized with pearl earrings, black pumps, and a Holly Golightly-style cigarette holder (not that I condone smoking). Oh, the thrill of playing dress up!
You can pick up a style guide, which will show you how to dress like your favorite character, at your nearest Banana Republic. On the back are special codes that grant you a chance to appear on the show, along with entry to win a $1,000 Banana gift card!
Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the Sunday, August 16th season 3 premier! Dress up for the occasion, perhaps?
