Blake always looks amazing and can you believe she doesn’t even employ a stylist?!

Loving the mix of neutrals and brights that Amanda Bynes is rockin’!

Emma Stone is back to her redhead roots and looking super hot!

Another hottie named Emma is Ms. Watson, in a white dress with embellished shoulders and silver stilettos. 

I realize that this look may not be for everyone but I think Louise Roe looks gorgeous in this red and leopard ensemble!

Simple yet super chic, Hailee Steinfeld is a fashion force to be reckoned with!

Since it’s launch a few years ago Nicole Richie’s jewelry line, House of Harlow, has become one of the most popular amongst celebs and the general public – it doesn’t hurt that the price points are so forgiving!       

Well the  fashion bees have been buzzing for a while now but the wait is finally over because Nicole’s clothing line, Winter Kate,  has arrived! 

As with her jewelry line, Nicole is looking out for the consumer and the prices will be very reasonable.  “Everything is extremely affordable, and that was important to me, to have these pieces be accessible to everyone,” she says.       

The line will range from $68 for a tank top to $1,375 for a suede vest.  Okay so $1,375 is a bit steep but it’s real suede people!     

Winter Kate very much emulates Nicole’s own boho chic style.  I’d call it casual elegance.       

“I’ve always been one to dress for comfort. I’m not one to wear something that I don’t feel good in,” she says. “Comfort was really important for me, especially doing a spring line. For me, I really don’t like to feel like I’m wearing anything during the spring and summer months.”    Amen to that! 

Get your Winter Kate on at Singer22.com!

She’s the pint sized fashion power house who’s become one of the most sought after celebs for style inspiration.   She’s always on the best dressed list and is all over the celebrity blogs.    

A self-professed lover of basics, she’s a girl after my own heart!  Monrow  and Riller & Fount are two of her personal faves…and  mine! 

Her style exudes a quiet confidence.  You can tell she is comfortable in her own skin and why shouldn’t she be?  She’s gorgeous! 

Rachel’s most recent gig is her column for Instyle magazine called “Ask Rachel”  

“I am not planning on quitting my day job to be a full-time fashion editor, although I am really enjoying it and it intrigues me very much,” Rachel tells WWD. “I’m actually flattered more than anything that people want to ask me questions about style. I am honored to do it.” 

She adds, “I can talk about fashion all day long, and I am an avid InStyle reader so the relationship seemed perfect! This column is the best homework assignment ever!” 

So next time you find yourself looking for a little fashionspiration of your own, why not ask Rachel?

As much as I love to shop though, you won’t find me anywhere near a mall come December.  I prefer to skip the lines, the fighting over parking spaces and the freezing weather, grab my laptop and my cozy slippers, kick back on the couch and get down to business!  Trust me, it makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable when there is no strange woman elbowing you passive agressively to get to the front of the line…

So for all the fashionistas on your list, I give you my holiday fashion gift guide for 2009 courtesy of Singer22.com!

I’m a Kain label addict and your lucky recipient will surely become one too once she feels how silky soft these tops are (probably helps that they’re made with 10% silk!)  The newest addition to the line has some beautifully rich colors such as this one that would look great paired with a cropped blazer and jeans.

The official launch party for the line this past Tuesday was a huge success!  Celebrity guests included Paris Hilton, Hayden Panettiere and Kate Walsh, just to name a few.  Check out the red carpet pics below!

M.I.A. treated guests to a special performance.

With the holiday season approaching, the line will include a lot of party clothes with a rock and roll vibe.  This is evident in the pics above as all the attendees were sporting pieces from the collection.

A note from H&M’s site:

H&M is launching Jimmy Choo for H&M on November 14th. Since the collection is in very high demand, we’re expecting a crowd.

WHAT DO I DO IF I ARRIVE BEFORE OPENING HOURS?

If there is a line, please wait in line and H&M store staff will inform you about how to shop.

HOW DOES THE QUEUING SYSTEM WORK?

The first 160 people in line will receive a bracelet; on the bracelet you will be given a specific time for shopping in our designated area. The bracelets are only needed for the women’s shoes, bags and accessories. Customers shopping the men’s collection or the women’s garments will not require a bracelet.

When your time has come, we will let you into the designated area to shop. Our goal is to create a better shopping experience for all of our customers.

If you are not one of the 160 first in line, you will of course have the opportunity to shop from the rest of the collection or within H&M. After about two hours we will also open up the designated area for all of our customers.

To make sure as many customers as possible are able to buy from the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection, we have a limitation. Every customer can buy the whole collection but with a limitation of buying maximum one per product, i.e. not more than one size (shoes/garments) or piece (accessories) per product per customer. The limitation covers the whole Jimmy Choo for H&M Collection. Your place in line does not guarantee any items from the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection.

They’ve got a queuing system already in the works?!

Here in the states, the only stores carrying the lines will be in California, New York and Chicago so if you’re lucky enough to live near one of these stores, I’d advise camping out.  This is gonna be huge!

The uber stylist to the stars has just expanded her resume yet again by designing a special line of accessories for QVC.  The line which includes fur vests, cocktail rings and clutches galore screams Zoe and definitely mimics her signature style.   With NYC fashion week well under way, the tents at Bryant Park provided the stage err, runway this past Saturday, for a special sneak peak as well as a chance to nab a few pieces of the highly anticipated line.  Sadly, I didn’t make it to the phone in time but I’m not going bananas just yet because the line, in it’s entirety, will be available on Saturday, October 10th, on QVC.com.

Can’t wait that long?  There are still a few pieces available right now on QVC.com!

Ever inspired by her love of the 60′s and 70′s, Zoe calls the line a natural progression of her vision to make glamour accessible to all women.

Often times when designers set out to create a new line, they look to a muse for inspiration.  Well, one muse is great and all but how about four!?  Anna Sui has taken cues from the hit show Gossip Girl to design her new, highly anticipated line for Target.

That’s right, Blair, Serena, Vanessa and Little J;  the looks will pay homage to each fashionista’s signature style.

Anna is known for her boho chic meets edgy rocker creations and she definitely embraces both with this line.

Look for it on Target.com and in select Target stores on Sunday, September 13th.  With prices ranging from $19.99 – $149.99, it’s a far cry from what you’d pay on the Upper East side.

So mark your calendars people!

You know you love me, xoxo!

Jen’s rise to fashion designer is a somewhat unlikely story.  In fact, her father always wanted her to follow in his footsteps and become an engineer for NASA but Jen never had the passion for this and she wasn’t exactly feelin’ the whole spacesuit thing.

After earning a B.S. in Advertising from U.T. she moved to NYC and landed a job as a cocktail waitress.  A few years later, Jen decided to relocate to LA where she found herself working for David E. Kelly productions on the off beat dramedy, Ally McBeal.

Jen was always a fan of her father’s white v-necks because they were so soft and comfy.  However, the pit stains and yellowing could be a bit distracting and thus made them unwearable in public.  This is what inspired her to create her own version of the perfect, worn in men’s inspired t-shirt.  People loved it and it quickly became a side business for Jen.  She juggled both careers for some time but before long Nation Ltd. got so big that it became her full time business.  With so many celeb fans of the brand, it’d probably be easier to name who hasn’t been spotted in Jen’s designs rather than who has.  What began as a love of her Dad’s old t-shirts, blossomed into quite a cult following.

These days her line includes dresses, tunics and of course, t-shirts.  Jen’s not stopping there though, look for leggings due out this Summer!

Although Jen didn’t exactly follow in her Dad’s footsteps, something tells he’s pretty proud of her.

It’s no secret that this woman is a fashion icon.   She didn’t follow trends, she set them.

Audrey was the epitome of grace, elegance, style and poise.

One of my favorite movies of all time is Funny Face.  No surprise there, since the entire film centers around fashion.

And how about Breakfast at Tiffany’s?  That infamous black dress she wore was none other than Givenchy people!!  

Audrey is often still a muse for designers when planning their newest line or laying out their runway shows.  She’s classic and her beauty and sense of style are timeless.

I love you Audrey!

Born Uniqorn is a collaborative effort by actress BFF’s of many years Taryn Manning and Tara Jane.  The message behind their line is to be true to yourself, or be unique, hence the quirky spelling. 

Says Tara  “We design for the girl on the go.  Taryn and I are very busy, and we never know where the day is going to take us—that’s why you can take Born Uniqorn from day to night.”

They wanted the pieces to be accessible to the masses too so they range from $50 – $175. 

The line runs the gamut from hoodies to jackets, tanks to dresses and sweats to leggings.

Find it at Fred Segal, Ron Herman and at Singer22 online.

When Joaquin Phoenix started showing up on TMZ in a crazy beard and sunglasses, we assumed he’d either become a junkie or was preparing for a role, but when he started trying to rap on stage…it was obvious something else was going on.  Eventually, people realized that Phoenix’s entourage included brother-in-law and wanna-be filmmaker Casey Affleck directing a team of videographers, indicating that this whole affair must be some kind of publicity stunt.

Well the guessing is over and we were all right, it was just a stunt!  Introducing MESH HAT, a new mens clothing line designed by Phoenix himself!

On Friday in New York City, Joaquin Phoenix is set to launch “Mesh Hat” in front of a select gathering of media and industry professionals.  The line, reportedly designed entirely by Joaquin is based around quirky synthetic fabrics and challenging color combinations cut in an easy, relaxed fit that runs couter to the emo styles of today.  In a nod to his animal rights activism, his entire line is certified cruelty free, and uses no animal-based materials or byproducts, instead focusing on layers of structured nylon and other synthetic fabrics to create a fashion-forward but very wearable look.

Pricing and availabilty are undetermined and the bulk of the details will be revealed Friday at the event in New York, but a few details can be gleened from the press release.  Wondering how he suddenly made a move into fashion?  Joaquin himself says:

“I found myself becoming very depressed when looking into my closet one day last fall and I decided to throw everything out except for a few pair of jeans and a trashbag that I wore as a shirt for a while.  At some point, I lost my jeans.”

And what’s the significance of the brand name?

“I like mesh hats.  Sometimes people call them trucker hats.  I think I lost a shoe around here somewhere.”

We’ve been given a sneak-peek through an unnamed media contact and have agreed not to share photographs of the line, but we have been given permission to post a number of the original sketches.   Give these sketches a peek and we think you’ll agree that Joaquin Phoenix has discovered a new talent!

Kim Gordon, the front woman behind the alt rock band has teamed up with her friends Erin Wansbrough and Jefferey Monteiro to design Mirror/Dash exclusively for Urban Outfitters.  The line’s name is taken from Kim’s musical side project with partner Thurston Moore. Hang tags feature Kim’s own artwork!  

Kim says she’s always been inspired by the south of France and that fresh Parisian style. This is very reminiscent in the clean lines and simplicity.  All the pieces are very cohesive and include a few wrap dresses, high waisted skirts, and cute tees.

Prices range from $54 – $98.
