Black and White dresses - I Want That!

Demi Moore

It's black, it's white. When combined these hues are a full on way to grab all the attention in the room. But we don't think celebrities mind a little spotlight, do you Demi?

Shoes of the day - Luvvy by Steve Madden

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Vintage and Retro, Must Haves



We've said this before, but it bears repeating: It's never too early to start shopping for holiday parties. And really, when you can find perfectly festive shoes like this, why wait?

The Luvvy by Steve Madden is a smart shoe - the strap is convertible (yes!) and looks just as great when worn across the foot worn as when it's decorating the heel. The white polka dots and red accents make these shoes scene stealers. Sometimes getting more than you bargained for is a very good thing.

Brian Batt at Mad Men wrap party - Style Foul!

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes



There's a reason you never hear the phrase "Lovely Man Flower." Bryan Batt, was kind enough to wear Exhibit A to the Mad Men season two wrap party, demonstrating that there's no such thing as a formal aloha floral pant.

Bryan's character Salvatore Romano is an art director with a secret. Here he's making no secret of his bad judgment. As much as we love a black and white pattern, it works better on a tie. Or curtains, which kind of makes sense when you learn that Bryan is also a interior designer. Maybe he just saw them in the window and had to have them.

Look, at this point we're just grateful he didn't buy the matching jacket. Thank you for small favors, Bryan!

Haute Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts for the Celebrity Jailbird

Filed under: Holiday Style, Celebrities with Style, Style for a Cause, Gift Guides

Gifts for the Celebrity Jailbird
Getting locked up has never been so stylish. You've got the leader of the prison pack Paris Hilton, and both Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan have spent some time behind bars. The girls are all free (for now) but their prison attire is here to stay. Dressing in black and white is so chic this holiday season. Here are some stand-out pieces that our celebrity jailbirds should have in their closets:

L.A.M.B Frosted Love Satchel: Gwen Stefani's bags are becoming a must have in the celebrity world. This stylish black and white satchel will match practically everything in your closet.

Norma Kamali striped dress:
Comfort and style are the key words with this dress from Norma Kamali. Just throw it on with some knee high boots and the look is complete.

Omni Peace tee: Wearing this tee shirt is like doing community service without lifting a finger, as proceeds go towards ending poverty by 2025.

Santi jeweled clutch: Bling is back with this jeweled cover clucth, the perfect accessory for holiday parties.

Karta zig-zag dress: Instead of skippin the stuffing, wear this dress. The zig-zag design of this dress is slimming and elongating which makes this the perfect dress for the holiday season.

Christian Louboutin 'Bling Bling' platforms:
A fierce pair of shoes is a must have for the holiday party season. Just beware for those of you who live in colder climates, the peep toe might result in frostbite.

RM Rhea dress: This cute little number has pockets for all of your goodies -- cell phone, money, ID ... anything!

Vivienne Westwood striped cowl neck top: Stripes have never looked so good. Vivienne Westwood can take the simplest concept and make it completely unique.

Marc Jacobs pleated top: Pair this adorable top with black leggings and flats for a dressed up yet dressed down look.

Kenneth Jay Lane Cocktail ring: No holiday ensemble is complete without a cocktail ring. This crystal ball ring is gorgeous and pretty affordable at $98.00.

Dress of the Day: Betsey Johnson Sequin Stripe Dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

Betsey Johnson Sequin Stripe DressI am more of a solids girl (and if you must know, I pretty much stick to a basic, neutral palette of black, white, ivory, and beige in my wardrobe), but I am beginning to think that stripes might be a good way for me to ease into patterns.

Betsey Johnson's Sequin Stripe Dress is a standard black and white stripe, and since it's pretty balls-y to go with a horizontal stripe, you may as well go all out and scream "Look at me!" with some sparkling sequins. Black shoes of any type are the natural choice, but with this much shine on the dress, I'd stay away from patent leather.

Dress of the Day: Alice+Olivia Colorblock Minidress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

alice + olivia colorblock minidressWho says you can't wear white after Labor Day, especially if it's black and white?

Not me. Not Alice and Olivia.

The Colorblocked Mini Shift dress by Alice + Olivia is pure comfort because it's a sweaterdress . With a high-but-wide neckline accented with a double band of black, three-quarter length sleeves, and a fairly modest hemline (for a minidress, that is), you could wear this to work with a smart pair of flats, then do the quick-change into a pair of black patent platform pumps with a rounded toe and head out for Happy Hour.

Available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $242.
