Tobi.com wants to help you bring out your inner Carrie Bradshaw

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style


How many times have you watched Sex and the City and thought, "Boy, I'd love wear clothes like that with as much chutzpah as (insert favorite SATC gal here), but I don't even know where to begin!"? It can be intimidating to go shopping on your own when you're looking for a signature style, whether it's your very own or "borrowed" from your favorite SATC character.

Tobi.com wants to make it a little easier for you to dress with serious style. They offer a personal stylist feature that will give you the guidance you need to dress like Carrie, Miranda, Samantha or Charlotte. If you're still not sure, check out our gallery to see some of their suggestions for character-based ensembles.

Will Ferrell make Nascar chic?

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing

Will Ferrell's new movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby came out last week to mixed fanfare. That fanfare goes something like this: Will Ferrell is great, Sacha Cohen (a.k.a. Ali G) is great, and the rest of the movie .... well, let's move on to the larger issue: is NASCAR cool?

Born in Charlotte, NC -- just like Michael Jordan and Billy Graham -- NASCAR (the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) officially formed in 1948. Ever since, it's slowly shed its southern twang, gaining network TV time and mainstream sponsors along the way. These days, it's the second most popular sport (at least in terms of TV ratings) in the US, just behind football. Take that, Major League Baseball!

And yet, can a sport be cool when it calls drivers "athletes", prides itself on burst eardrums and fiery crashes and -- most importantly of all -- forces its stars into neon orange jumpsuits with "Tide" (or Dupont or whatever) logos all over them?
