Rachel Bilson: Chanel Chic at CW Upfronts

'HART OF DIXIE' STAR RACHEL BILSON ATTENDS THE CW UPFRONTS ON MAY 17 LOOKING LIKE THE TRUE FASHIONISTA THAT SHE IS. SHE PAIRED A CREAM CHANEL TWEED DRESS WITH BEIGE BRIAN ATWOOD PUMPS AND A DELICATE NECKLACE. I VOTE HER AS ONE OF THE BEST DRESSED AT THE CW UPRFRONTS.



Nina Dobrev: Color Blocking Mishap at CW Upfronts

THE DRESS IS BEAUTIFUL AND ON ITS OWN, A COLOR BLOCKING HIT, BUT THE WAY SHE STYLED IT IS JUST UNFORTUNATE. THE BLACK & BEIGE ADDITIONS CLASH SO STRONGLY WITH THE DRESS, IT LITERALLY HURTS MY EYES!



Maggie Q: CW Upfronts in Mustard (May 17)

WHAT A BEAUTY! MUSTARD COMPLEMENTS HER SKIN TONE & DEFINITELY BRINGS OUT HER BEST FEATURES.


Vanessa Hudgens: MyHabit.com Launch Fashion

WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT! HER HAIR AND MAKEUP GET AN A+ AND THE BRONZE DRESS PAIRED WITH THE BLACK BLAZER LOOK GREAT....OVER-ACCESSORIZING IS STILL A WEAKNESS OF HERS, PROVEN BY THIS LOOK, BUT SHE HAS COME A LONG WAY WITH HER LAST FEW APPEARANCES. BABY STEPS!

Cannes Film Festival: Bar Rafaeli at 'The Beaver' Premiere

HER DRESS IS BEYOND SPECTACULAR. WHILE I'M NOT THE BIGGEST FAN OF THE FRONT, THE OPEN BACK IS EXTREMELY UNIQUE AND SEXY AND SHE PULLS IT OFF LIKE A CHAMP. A PERFECT CANNES FILM FESTIVAL LOOK!

Rachel McAdams: 2011 Cannes Film Festival 'Sleeping Beauty' Premiere in Monique Lhuillier

This look from Monique Lhuillier is one of my favorites of the past year. The only problem is that you just don't go this casual for the Cannes Film Festival. Its supposed to ooze glamour and overwhelm you with couture and a pants look just can't do that.  I would have preferred to see this on a different carpet but nonetheless, I am impressed with how beautiful and put together it looks (not to mention that all the bronze & sparkles are quite enticing).

Emily Browning: Sleeping Beauty Premiere at Cannes in Valentino

It's intriguing to see such a young girl with such keen fashion sense. The intricate beading on the dress is timeless and the cut adds a few inches to her small silhouette.



Diane Kruger: Cannes Sleeping Beauty Premiere in Calvin Klein

SHE CAN DO NO WRONG!



Ashley Greene: Skateland Premiere in Fendi Spring 2011

Ashley Greene shines on the red carpet on May 11 wearing a pale pink Fendi dress from the Spring 2011 collection. What an elegant choice for Ashley. The color compliments her pale skin tone without washing her out and the asymmetrical cut adds femininity to her figure.

I actually attended the premiere on Wednesday night and when I spotted Ashley in this dress, had to close my jaw back up. She was truly a stunner and all eyes were on her the entire night.

On a side-note: 'Skateland' was an awesome film and I highly suggest going to see it!

Answering my Call: Bottle Blond Jewelry for Kids

I don't know if i've ever mentioned this but I used to work with kids as a nanny before I became a stylist (it was my side job while I was in school). Well, as I worked, I always noticed that kid's fashion was lacking in the jewelry department. I tend to see girls wearing jewelry that is playful & fake because it is meant only for dress up and I didn't really understand why there aren't any cute brands out there with real, nice jewelry for young girls. However, I recently ran into a brand called 'Bottle Blond' at Kitson and decided to do a little more research.

Bottleblond Jewels, by designer Alex Hillson, is a truly unique line of reasonably priced, high quality handmade jewelry and hair accessories for children (ages 3 and up).

The great twist--almost every piece in the line contains hard to find, limited quantity vintage components from all over the world. Made locally in Silverlake, the line retails at just $24-38.



The great thing about this line is that you can find these pieces at some of the trendiest boutiques such as Kitson and soon to be in Fred Segal, even though it is afforable, which means its acceptably special.  Bottleblond’s products are also available in some of LA’s most upscale children’s boutiques, including Flicka, Yolk, La La Ling, Children’s Wonderland and Petit Ami.


If you are outside of Los Angeles, there are locations in Manhattan, Southampton, Miami, Denver, Chicago, and more. You can shop, browse the full collection, or find more stores by visiting the website at http://www.bottleblond.com. Also available: a Women's line, so you can shop for yourself and your daughter/sister/neice etc. at the same time.
