When we think of Carmen Electra‘s style, we tend to picture boob-baring, barely there dresses and/or bikinis. Seriously, that’s been her ‘thing’. But the actress really glammed things up this past weekend when she attended the 19th Annual Race to Erase MS Event held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles. She wore the blue ‘Mercia’ dress by designer Catherine Deane, from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection. The dress features a deep cut front with a front clasp and beaded shoulder and waist detail.

Last night’s Billboard Music Awards show included some watercooler-worthy moments, like Jordin Sparks‘ tribute to Whitney Houston, and a teary-eyed acceptance of Whitney’s Millenium award by her daughter Bobbi Kristina. And there were more sweet/funny/crazy moments, which you can read about here. But let’s talk about the fashion. Black and white seemed to be the theme du jour, with many stars donning black or white dresses or pantsuits. They looked nice, but black and white are such safe colors at an event like this. Amber Rose and Nelly Furtado both donned short white...  Read More..

It’s no secret that I LOOOOVE Gwen Stefani‘s style. I recently told you that her look is the one I most emulate, when it comes to celebrity style. I love that she stays covered up, and her outfits are always slightly edgy, and never trashy, but still command attention whether she’s just running errands with her family or appearing on a red carpet. She was recently spotted out in Los Angeles in a simple look that still had me coveting each piece! She wore basic black – a top and leggings, and you can’t go wrong with this, especially when you pair it with attention-grabbing...  Read More..

When Baby Phat first launched all those years ago, it was an edgy, street brand – the little sister to Phat Farm, all fierce with the sassy kitty logo.

The tropical collection features “an elevated glam aesthetic,” perfect for days lounging on the beach, or heading to it. Think printed maxidresses with flouncy ruffles, batwing-style tops, zig zag shorts and maxi skirts to wear with breezy tank tops, crocheted...  Read More..

When we first heard that Anna Dello Russo would be designing an ‘over-the-top accessories collection‘ for H&M, we immediately thought, “Well, this is absolutely worth lining up for. Just tell us when and where and we’ll be there, credit cards ready!” The past few H&M collaborations have had us salivating but unfortunately we missed out on Marni, skipped Versace and only snagged a few accessories from Lanvin. But this one is a can’t-miss, won’t-miss (using our Diddy voice). Anna Dello Russo is known for her over-the-top style and personality, so...  Read More..

Just like the LBD is the year-round staple, the LWD, or little white dress is the go-to piece for summer. It’s light and airy and can be paired with literally anything.

Your work life and personal life typically should not merge, except maybe when it comes to your wardrobe. Of course you shouldn’t wear a sexy dress designed for dancing, to the office, but you can mix and match the right pieces that work well for wearing to the office and after work and on the weekends too! For instance, a print dress makes for good workday wear if you choose one that has office-appropriate coverage. On the weekends, wear it with some fun accessories like oversized jewelry and sexy sandals. Tote along a large handbag for work and the weekends. Click the image above to check...  Read More..
