Who Wore It Best? Marion Cotillard Or Maggie Gyllenhaal?

| No Comments
MaggieMarion.jpgAt least they didn't wear the same dress to the same event...but they did wear the same dress. Maggie Gyllenhaal and Marion Cotillard, both in a navy blue draped shoulder dress, kept this look simple, which was the right thing to do. But who wore it best?

Points to Marion for her cute bob and lovely makeup. Points to both for amazing footwear. But we have to say that while we LOVE Marion and feel she can do no wrong...Maggie's take on this dress is better. True, the camera angle isn't helping, but Marion's dress doesn't fit as well across the top as Maggie's and the length could have been shorter too.

Trendspotting: Shiny Gold Lame On Anne Hathaway

| No Comments
Annegold.jpgGold is back! And we're not talking dull metallic gold or gold jewelry...we're talking about flashy, sometimes blinding, gold lame. Anne Hathaway recently ROCKED an all-gold ensemble at opening night of Shakespeare in the Park's Twelfth Night proving that shiny gold lame isn't tacky...it's timeless. We recommend introducing it into your wardrobe in small doses like a belt or a pair of heels. But if you're feeling brave, go for it and wear it head to toe!

Steal This Style: Marion Cotillard's Dots Dress

| No Comments
Mariondots.jpgWe are crazy about the Elie Saab dress Marion Cotillard wore to the Los Angeles Film Festival premiere of Public Enemies. It's a microprint...looks like dots? The dress on the right is similar and the ruffled neckline and matching belt achieves the same visual interest as the ruching around the waist on Marion's dress. However, the dots are more spaced out and it's missing that really sophisticated vibe the Elie Saab dress accomplishes with its high collar and fitted hip. Sigh...guess we better start saving our pennies.

10 Ways To Fake A Hollywood Bikini Body

| No Comments

valeriebertinellibikinibodyoncoversofpeoplemagazine1.0.0.0x0.400x534.jpegIs it just us, or is there a new celebrity revealing her stunning new bikini body on the cover of People magazine every week? From Valerie Bertinelli to Tori Spelling, everyone is flaunting a new trim figure for all the world to see. We'll let you in on a little secret: there's more to those newly svelte bodies than just daily exercise and switching to healthier snacks - and we're not talking about plastic surgery and Photoshop.

Celebrities know the power of good lighting, fake tans, strategic posing and the importance of a figure flattering swimsuit. Here are 10 tips to help you get a better bikini body in an instant:


1. Get a faux tan to help cover imperfections and look thinner. Find out our top 10 sunless tanners.

2. Use a good cellulite / toning cream like the Slim City Set from Bliss.

3. Groom yourself (don't let this happen to you!)

4. Exfoliate and moisturize for smooth glistening skin.

5. Find the perfect swimsuit that flatters your figure.

6. Stand tall - good posture and a confident attitude can help you drop 5 pounds instantly.

7. Drink lots of water and avoid salt to help reduce bloating.

8. Do a few stomach crunches and push ups before you hit the beach to minimize jiggles.

9. You'll often see celebrities wearing leg-lengthening heels when they wear their bikinis. Not so easy for the average woman to pull off, but there's nothing wrong with a beach-worthy wedge sandal to make you look a little leaner.

10. Choose a cover-up that plays up your assets. Thin legs? Wear a tunic. Great collarbones and shoulders? Wear a tube dress.

Runway To Red Carpet: Isla Fisher

| 1 Comment
IslaStella.jpgIsla Fisher wore an adorable dress from Stella McCartney's 2009 Fall/Winter collection to the Los Angeles premiere of Bruno. FYI - Sascha Baron Cohen (Bruno's star) is Isla's husband. They have a daughter together, Olive.

We love how Isla adapted this fall/winter Stella McCartney dress for the summer, but then again, we've always been a fan of Isla's style. We particularly love that she wears strong colors, like this yellow look and this blue look. What should be her next look? Red, orange, purple??
