Hot Mess: Danielle Staub

Sometimes it’s embarrassing to admit you watch the “Real Housewives” from anywhere, but most of the time it’s one hilarious hot mess after another. Andy Cohen has become one of my favorite people and I find it difficult to miss Watch What Happens Live. Last night, I was more impressed by his view of Sag Harbor than anything! However, the hottest-trainwreck-tranny-mess was Danielle Staub and her lesbian love song. Watch what happens…Andy’s reactions are priceless.

Sorry I’ve been terrible about posting consistently. A lot has been going on. I intend to rectify it!

Do you have any thoughts on Danielle?

How to dress: Jessica Biel

Doesn’t it seem that once someone becomes a continual style-winner, all of their previous faux-pas are forgotten? Not everyone can be so lucky but Ms. Biel is a prime example. She has been looking better-than-ever lately! And the thing is, she has always had a gorgeous face, rockin’ body and pretty (usually) hair but she just hasn’t played it up right. She’s had a good look here, an average look there, etc. etc. Lately, the past is in the past and her stylist needs a raise. Another thing I love about her is she goes by my favorite rule & I think I made this up…

Boobs, Back or Legs. Pick one to show. Rarely show 2. Never show all 3.

CDFA Awards. Well done.

MTV Movie Awards. Demure, sexy, flattering…at the same time, who knew it was possible?

How NOT to dress: Trainwreck

I do not like to comment (publicly) on the misfortune or unfortunate choices of others. Luckily, this needs no commentary.

SATC Inspiration: You don’t have to dress like the same girl everyday

Carrie SATC

I’m getting giddy about seeing SATC 2 tomorrow, even though I’ve read some less-than-flattering reviews and I must admit that I’m not QUITE as excited as I was for the first movie. But I love it for the fashion as much as I love it for the girls. And I know the movie won’t disappoint in that arena.

This may seem redundant because I know every girl feels this way. But I’m inspired by many Carrie Bradshaw looks. One of the things I love most about the character is how she dressed for any occasion. She also often dressed with a theme, but always in a chic vs. a campy way. While she almost always looked fabulous, we also saw her dress down which makes her all the more real. More faves…

I loved everything about this outfit and I mentioned how much I love her flower brooch here.

Love, Love, Loved this outfit. This is the day Carrie meets Berger and she’s wearing a chic frock, fitted jacket and sky-high wedges.

I totes try to re-create this look. I have a crisp white blazer (thrifted) that I pair with a ratty old mickey mouse tee (gift from an old beau).

Love it when Carrie channels Jackie-O while she is dating the politician (she says, “found some vintage Halston”). It’s fun to dress for a part. You don’t have to dress like the same girl everyday.

She’s adventurous…swinging for her column, and she’s dressed to work-out. There’s no place for heels on a trapeze.

I love this. Sometimes, no matter how great you look, the wind can literally or metaphorically blow your skirt up.

Why not wear a white sun-dress/parasol combo for strolling outside in the sun?

Diane Kruger & Dog dresses

Found out today via Garance Dore that Diane Kruger is her own stylist/make-up artist/hair-stylist… this only furthers my slight obsession with her and her style choices. She is just STUN.

PS: I have secretly been perusing dog dresses/swimsuits. Ridiculous, I know. But some of them are super fun. If you’re interested…here is the cutest little tutu. Not sure if Birdie needs one but she sure would look cute!

Somehow she got out of the fence today. R & I were freaking but some nice neighbor got her and her Aunt Lauren and Aunt Lindsay rescued the bad little puppy. Here she is with her sister, Georgie.

SATC: Carrie’s best looks

Thanks to Instyle for sharing their favorite “Carrie” looks. They have the Top Ten, the craziest and the best of the rest.  I had to include a few of my own…

They have this one in the best of the rest category, but I have to put it in my personal top 10. I loved this look!!

The Masterfully Mixed Outfit

The sequined caftan from the playboy party! I die. Only SJP/Carrie could pull this off.

Carrie’s “Cover-Up”

SJP as Audrey Hepburn. Love this look and how beautiful she looks when she ultimately has to let Aidan down.

The Engagement Ring Necklace

I love this look, not too crazy about the sweater but more the empowerment/compromise that she and Aidan land on when she cleans out her closet to make room for him. Plus, I love the hair.

6. The Newsworthy Dress

Grown-up Carrie. Love this put-together look.

7. The Fresh-Off-The-Runway Vest

Carrie’s signature flower! This one has definitely made an impression on my personal style.

8. Carrie’s Signature Flower

It’s Martha!

I just saw this on the Huffington post. Apparently, Martha Stewart used to model (for Chanel no less!) and she is oh-so-cute!

Love this look

Sienna Miller is one of my fashion icons. While I’m not sure why she’s back with Jude, (he cheated on you with the nanny, Sienna!!!) they do look good together. Everything about her look works, from the smokey eye to the sky-high heels.
