Fashionista x 2

Here's a shout out to W magazine (one of my favorite fashion mags) for their March 2008 cover. Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman (two of my favorite actresses) appear looking absolutely divine. The two star in the film The Other Boleyn Girl coming to theaters February 29th.

Is this really a shoe?

How bizarre? This Prada shoe for the Spring 2008 collection looks as though it would be very awkward to wear. The color is extremely 'out there,' and the front toe looks like an iron. And, did you check out that hershey kiss shaped heel? Not one of my favs. What do you think?!

Eye Candy

It's Thursday and that means an accessories pick of the week! Oversized sunglasses are here to stay this season and these blinging 70's inspired Diamond Harlots by Oliver Peoples are just the thing! They are part of the RICHE 2008 Resort Spring Collection. But, if the featured pearl/rose combo isn't for you, check

out these other colors (black/gold and storm/white gold).

Watch Out

This Black Chrono Toy Watch adds style to your wrist with a clear acrylic strap and black chrono face. It's sporty, yet feminine and very cool. $250.00 at Bloomingdales

I heart Miley Cyrus.

Yes, I purchase her music on ITunes, I watch her on Hannah Montana, and now I vote her as thee up and coming teen celebrity fashion icon. Love her!

The 15-year-old singer/actress appeared at the In Style and The Recording Academy first ever Grammy 'Salute to Fashion' event at Hollywood nightclub Boulevard 3 on Thursday, February 7th wearing a black Dolce and Gabbana mini dress with floral patterns. She looked classic and utterly fabulous. "Can't wait to see her again..."

Fragrance Fancy

Quelques Fleurs Perfume by Houbigant Paris is a mixture of soft sensual florals that won't go unnoticed. The scent is perfect for special evening occasions. A 3.3 OZ bottle costs approximately $150.00 but it's well worth it.

Happy Anniversary, Betsey

Betsey Johnson celebrated her line's 30th anniversary with a huge bash during New York Fashion week. Congrats to the 1964 Syracuse University grad!

For fall 2008, her collection features animal prints, feathers, fringe, polka dots, and suspenders. Go Betsey.

Accessories --Pick of the Week!

Shed all your bling for this Jet and Crystal Coiled Snake Ring from Electric Couture. It's slithering.

Pump Up Your Sex Life

Earlier this week BBC News published a story entitled,
High heels, 'may improve sex life.' According to a study conducted by Italian urologist, Dr. Maria Cerruto, 2-inch heels may improve the strength and contraction ability of a woman's pelvic muscles.

In simpler terms, great pumps = great sex.

The article quotes Cerruto stating, "Like many women, I like high-heeled shoes. It's good to know they have potential health benefits."

Feeling Blue

Winter is almost over, but that doesn't mean you can't look blue all spring. My fav shade for 2008?! Any hue of blue. From navy to marine, this color is lookin hot. But make sure not to mix up cerulean, sapphire, and indigo...knowing the tone is key.

The price of blue ranges from item to item, so no matter your budget here are my top 3 picks:

Navy nails will sizzle in either Black & Blue by MAC or OPI Russian Navy. $6 - $15

Go pale (blue) in the face with Chanel's Quadra Eye shadow Set in Bleu Celestes. This icy pastel and navy combo palate will give you just enough shine. $55

And, if you're willing to drop some dough, show off with Botkier's Bianca Satchel in Patent Leather Marine (pictured left), it's gorgeous. $595

Hello, Fashion Week!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...
