Michelle Obama's Sneakers. Your Budget.

Posted May 8th 2009 at 8:00AM by Susannah Cahn

Filed under: Get the Look

Even though a major debate ensued after the First Lady stepped out in $540 Lanvin low tops to volunteer at a food bank (right), fashionistas from both ends of the spectrum are still intrigued and inspired by Michelle Obama's style choices.

If the price tag for Michelle's designer metallic sneakers is a bit too high, check out this shimmery style by PF Flyers. The "Vere" retails for less than $90, so you'll even have enough money leftover to buy one of Obama's J.Crew cardigans. Heads up, the yellow version she's wearing in the picture is already sold out online. Not a big surprise. It was a week ago! But, we must say, we're loving it in lavender.

Molly Sims at 'Yes Man' Premiere - From Red Carpet to Your Closet

Posted Dec 30th 2008 at 6:05PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Get the Look


Molly Sims is so bubbly and beautiful -- she embodies the look of perfect party girl (as opposed to the sloppy or skanky party girl). Cool and classy, she always looks ready to laugh or dance, and we'd love to look like her for New Year's Eve.

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Must Haves

Maybe it's your first Christmas party of the year, and your feet just aren't used to your fancy new shoes. Or, maybe you've been dancing up a storm at party after party, and your hooves are howling -- trust us, we get it. And that's why we always try to have a pair of cute but comfy shoes on hand, in case our killer heels are killing us.

Why aren't you wearing this? Pure Pashmina Wrap

Posted Nov 5th 2008 at 6:02PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves

Even though it's cold out, there are certain times when a sweater just won't do. When we're hitting the club with our girlfriends or attending a cocktail party with our boy du jour, we want to look a little sexy, and sometimes that requires showing a little skin. But we don't want to be cold, of course, so we like to bring along a little wrap, like this Pure Pashmina Wrap, $59.99 at The Pashmina Store.

Ashley Tisdale - German HSM 3 premiere StyleFoul!

Click the picture to see Ashley's other red carpet looks -- both good and bad!

Ashley Tisdale always plays the well-to-do (and well-dressed) girl, so we're really confused as to why she would choose to wear this atrocity at the German premiere of High School Musical 3. We have a few possible reasons in mind, though:

Why aren't you wearing this? Mixed Metal Coil Bib Necklace

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves


Trying to figure out how to fill that wide, deep-v neckline? You're going to need a great necklace, and while you could go with something long, maybe with a fabulous pendant, we'd like to switch it up a bit and wear a funky bib necklace, like this Mixed Metal Coil Bib Necklace.

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Style in the News, Must Haves


One of the best ways to finish off an ensemble for a big night out is with the right purse. Generally, if we're doing the club scene and getting all dolled up, we like a fab little clutch with enough personality to hold its own. However, we're not going to carry it all the time -- just on certain occasions -- so we don't want to spend a ton of money on it.

Rihanna: modern metallics

Posted Jul 7th 2008 at 5:44PM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style





Rihanna is a rock and roll hottie who is isn't afraid to bring out the heavy metal accessories, including her nail polish. The bronzey metallic she's wearing here is much more interesting and fashion forward that the predictable black that others might have chosen. If you're a modern babe like Rihanna, then you're into surprising combinations and edgy choices, and you make it work every time. To get Rihanna's metallic tips, try CoverGirl Bronze Beauty.

Why aren't you wearing this? Skinny sparkle-metallic leather belt

There are belts you keep in your closet that you wear to hold your pants up, and then there are belts you keep in your closet to complete an outfit. Both serve equally important purposes -- some even can do both -- but one is far more fun to shop for.

It's Friday night and you're looking for the perfect outfit. The only thing clean and unwrinkled is your trusty black dress, and you have some cute shoes, but it just seems a little boring -- you want to stand out. And, as we're sure you know, the easiest way to make that happen is by adding some fierce accessories.

If you're going to splurge on an insanely fabulous pair of shoes, you need to ask yourself this question: Do I want a classic style that will always work, or do I want something amazingly trendy that will turn everyone's head? Because, you know, you can't have it all.

That is, unless you have these.

Why aren't you wearing this? Melie Bianco Reversible Tote

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Must Haves


There's not much that adds punch to an outfit the way a metallic accessory does -- it's exciting, it's new, it's hot. It just makes us walk with a little more strut in our step. However, we will never completely bail on our good buddy brown. Brown has seen us through more trends than we care to remember, and it feels so comfy and safe.

When we think of Old Navy's swimsuit selection, our minds instantly drift to preppy pink patters, flirty florals, and a few retro prints rounding it out. Imagine our surprise when we walked in and were confronted with a glamorous metallic, plunging, deep-v neck one-piece!
