Blake Lively at the Australia Premiere - StyleFoul!

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Blake Lively, in addition to being a Gossip Girl, is also a gorgeous girl. And at 21, it's appropriate for her to risk some kookier fashion choices. The young fashionista succeeds more often than she fails...but here, at the New York premiere of Baz Luhrmann's epic film Australia, she fails.

Cecelia's simple yet luxurious clutches

Filed under: Handbags, Celebrities with Style

The clutch is the bag to clutch these days, and if celebrities are any way to judge a trend, the vintagey-style Cecelia clutch is the one to want.

Cecelia was created in 2004 by Hillary Lammens, and the line includes clutches, belts and brooches, which can be worn on their own, or used to dress up the bags.

The bags are the big deal of the line. Lammens uses luxury materials like crocodile, stingray, snakeskin and our favorite white suede to create dressy, shimmery bags that work for an evening out, especially when you add a brooch to embellish. The simple designs can also work in the daytime, without making you look like you're doing the walk of shame from last night's party to today's lunch.

Like we said, celebrities love this line. In the gallery, some of Cecelia's fans, like Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr, Debra Messing, and Kourtney Kardashian, show you how they wear these pretty clutches.

Why aren't you wearing this? Corset with Buckle Belt

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

One of the fastest, easiest, and most effective ways to create a good waistline is by using a belt, especially a big, thick one that's really noticeable. We've seen some of the major corset belts around, and, while we like the look, we're a little concerned about whether we'd be able to sit in them.

This Corset with Buckle Belt, $24 at Urban Outfitters, looks like it would actually be wearable. It's wide, but not so enormous that it would interfere in our daily activities.

eBay WTF of the Day: Blair Witch belt formation

Filed under: Accessories

Blair Witch belt formationThis is an odd pairing of belts. One says "I'm non-threatening and fun, even if perhaps behind the times" and the other says "I'm into random pieces of metal." Why Fairiesupthecreek is selling these together, we can't say. We can say we don't think you want either of them.

First of all, there's the issue of the picture: Belts hanging from a tree by a dirt road. What does that say about their wear and tear? May have been damaged by grazing deer? May have slight imperfections due to nearby frolf?

Here's what the listing says about the Blair Witch belt formation.

eBay WTF of the Day: Someone put a face on a belt again.


Someone put a face on a belt buckle again, which, as we have stated before is a terrible idea. This time, it's not just a half face. It's a whole face. And it's spooky.

This is a Lynne Dorsch piece. Lynne Dorsch has also brought us...yeah, nothing. Never heard of her. Yet there is her name, engraved in this creepy pewter buckle. Who could she be?

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Cocktail party season will soon be upon us (and just between us, we can't wait!) so it pays to make like a Boy Scout and start your shopping now. Of course, it's not like this is such a terrible chore - especially with the abundance of sophisticated retro-inspired pieces in the market right now - like this seductive red-satin number by Carmen Marc Valvo. It's something we could imagine Joan Holloway wearing to the annual office party, which makes it a winner in our book.

Why aren't you wearing this? Women's Grosgrain Ribbon Belt

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves


Belts can do so much more than just hold up a saggy pair of pants. The right belt can finish an outfit. It can create a waistline. And, it can make a boring outfit trendy, classic, or, in the case of this belt, preppy.
