Have you ever noticed how much difference earrings can make to an outfit? It's strange, really, because they're generally situated above the ensemble, but the right earrings can take an outfit from bland to glam.

We love Christina Aguilera's diva-ness, we love the fact that she's married to a "normal" guy and we adore her fantastic voice -- but most of all, we love her old school style!

Some women just have a "natural beauty" vibe. They look fantastic with their hair messy and undone, and loose, flowing dresses only enhance their radiance. These women wear earthy colors and natural fibers, and they look spectacular.

However, that look doesn't work for everybody. For those of you who would prefer gold and diamonds to wooden bangles, there is still a way for you to pull of a more natural look while flaunting your own flair.

After being dethroned by Agyness Deyn for the #1 spot on Tatler's best dressed list, Kate Moss has been drowning her sorrows in alcohol. She's been out on the town boozing it up for the last four nights in a row. Kate does have a lot of time on her hands these days considering that not only did Agyness take the #1 spot, but she has also been taking all Kate's jobs.

Agyness is going to be the face for Burberry and Armani, brands both of which at one time would have asked Kate Moss to fill that position. But they have no need to ask old "haggard looking" (the Daily Mail's words, not mine) drug abusing Kate when they can get Kate version 2.0 to do the job.

While I do agree that Agyness' fresh faced beauty gives her a few extra bonus points over Kate, I don't agree that she's more stylish than the legendary Miss Moss. Agyness' look makes it seem as if she were just trying way too hard to look like she's not trying. Whereas Kate really doesn't have to try. Her hard partying might be catching up to her, but her style is still truly effortless. For pete's sake and crying out loud, the woman even looks glam when she's walking through the mud with the world's biggest drug addict on her arm!

Check out 6 pictures of each famous super models's best looks at various events, and then tell me who you think is the best dressed. Or maybe you think they both look like clowns half the time. That's OK too.

I just found out about the amazing collection of color photographs from the 1930s and 1940s that the Library of Congress has just made available via Flickr. This set is comprised of over 1,600 photographs taken during the Great Depression and World War II. Being a history geek and a huge follower of vintage fashions, I naturally found this collection extremely inspiring.

This is a massive collection of photos to sift through. Believe me -- I know because I just did it. But I did manage to gather some of my favorite fashionable photographs from these collections. They are filled with beautiful colors, amazingly coifed hair, utilitarian and military stylings, and loads of fashion inspiration. If you're a fan of vintage or retro fashions like I am, I urge you to take a peek, or check out the Library of Congress blog for more info on this amazing project.

You're absolutely deliciously dressed everywhere you go, but we all know that style is more than just the clothes you wear. That's why we call if "lifestyle."

They've got recipes and recent articles on health issues like trans-fats, lack of sleep, and other fun stuff like how to "dress up" a cocktail. And you know how much we love food!
