Kim Kardashian Rocks a Short Bob

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Hair Cut and Style

Who knew a short bob could be so sexy? Photo: kimkardashian.celebuzz.com

Kim! We hardly recognized you!

At a recent photo shoot for O, The Oprah Magazine, Hollywood celeb hair stylist Ken Paves somehow managed to get Kim Kardashian's bountiful locks under a wig! (He is the master at faux hair -- you might remember he has a line of extensions with Jessica Simpson.)

This cropped bob with side-swept bangs is a big departure from Kim's usual va-va-voluminous long waves. It's way more conservative than her usual look, but since it's Kim, of course she makes it look sexy. And with a gorgeous face like that she can totally pull it off.

Do you think Kim sizzles in short hair?

Fashion Forecast

    2009 is shaking out to be a dynamic and exciting year -- but what to wear? Let astrology reveal your best wardrobe choices for the year ahead, and keep you both current and true to your Sun sign's fashion strengths!

    Aries (March 21 - April 19)

    The military-style jacket is your hot look for 2009, Aries. Despite being ruled by warrior Mars, you'll be welcome at peace rallies in this new version - it's pure fun. This cocky, Sergeant Pepper-inspired look comes in punchy colors like orange, red and electric blue, each festooned with gold buttons. Whether form-fitting or slouchy, pair it with a t-shirt, tight pants and boots.

    Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
    It isn't always easy to find a look that serves both your romantic and practical needs, Taurus, but you've hit the jackpot in 2009! Delight your ruling planet, Venus, with a techno romantic dress in the colors of love -- pale pink, faded violet, milky white -- paired with a cracked leather belt to give it an edge. Or top a pair of cuffed trousers with a pale, sheer blouse, and add a tailored jacket and chain-link necklace.

    Audrey Hepburn, a Taurus and a fashion icon, put capri pants in the fashion Hall of Fame by fearlessly pairing romantic and practical pieces. Do the same in 2009 and be unforgettable.

    Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
    2009 is the year to show off your gorgeous gams, Gemini, in the abundance of fabulous new bright, printed and textured tights. Choose a pair in a knock-'em-dead color like teal, top with a simple knit dress or tailored suit, then add a splashy, multi-colored knit scarf that picks up the same shade of blue. Or honor your playful Mercury ruler with exotic, tattoo-printed tights under a short skirt!

    We Love Colors Diamond Tights $14

    Gemini Naomi Campbell loves to show off her mile-long legs in colorful tights. We say good for her - flaunt 'em if you've got 'em!

    Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
    You're a bohemian at heart, Cancer, and the Folk-Boho trend of 2009 is perfect for you. The difference between these folksy styles and those of the past is luxury fabrics like silk charmeuse and wool jersey. Please your feminine Moon ruler with a glammed-up peasant blouse and mid-calf, flouncy skirt with fringed leather boots, then top with a velvet jacket, gold chunky jewelry and metal-studded belt.

    T-Bags Neve Deep V Dress $238

    Lindsay Lohan (a Cancer) glams it up while looking cool in her trademark Boho style.

    Leo (July 23 - August 22)
    The jewel-encrusted look that suits you so well, Leo, has gotten brighter, bolder and more elegant for 2009. You'll find knee-length, fitted skirts entirely covered in metallic jewels and studs, which look fantastic with a simple, sheer blouse and heels. The Sun, your queenly ruling planet, will shine forth beautifully in an Egyptian-style tunic dress or bold collar necklace fit for Cleopatra herself.

Yummie Tummie smooths away your muffin top

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style, Product Reviews, Flatter Your Figure


By now, we know that when Oprah says something is good, it's great. Once again she hit the nail on the head when she and Heidi Klum picked Yummie Tummie to be one of Oprah's Top Picks.

Yummie Tummie is shapewear, but it's incredibly wearable. Unlike Spanx, which are vitally necessary but let's admit it, painful, Yummie Tummie tops are comfortable. At the same time, they smooth and control muffin top in a way that we hadn't realized was possible.

Debbie Phelps signs deal with Chico's

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Celebrities with Style, Get the Look



In a triumph for lovers of bright patterns and matching jewelry, Debbie Phelps, mother of Olympic Champion Michael Phelps, middle school vice principal and expert accessorizer, now has her own six-figure deal with the Chico's clothing chain.

As part of the deal she will appear in their marketing materials, including the catalog and probably the website. She will also be dressed by Chico's for appearances. Watch for her on Oprah!

The Chico's fashion philosophy is a bit flowing and embellished for some. As you can see in the Debbie Phelps Collection (that we posted about last week), which highlights some of Debbie's looks from the Olympics, every print can benefit from a belt, and statements earrings are always paired with matching chunky necklaces.

We're enjoying all of the Wall Street Journal coverage about Michelle Obama and her sartorial choices. Last week it was about what she wore on The View. This week's Michelle missive reveals the name of the designer behind the purple "fist bump" sheath dress, and so many of Michelle's great looks: Chicago-based designer Maria Pinto.

Oprah gets cast in a flattering light, literally

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style


Over the years, there's no doubt that Oprah Winfrey's look has changed dramatically -- you can check her out right now at StyleList's Look of the Day. Her hair, her weight, her wardrobe -- they've all been switched up on a yearly basis. But, has she gone under the knife to make more drastic changes?

Many experts say no -- as a matter of fact, although the look of her face has changed somewhat throughout the years (most notably, her schnoz), it's more a matter of makeup and lighting than surgical intervention. Because, let's be real, folks -- how many of our faces don't look considerably different now than they did in the '80s?

The Vogue Diet

Filed under: Style in the News

vogue coverThe Vogue Diet ... What is that like water, asparagus, and chewing gum? Nah not so much, it goes more like this "lose some weight or you can't be on my cover."

That's exactly what happened to Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte. The two designers received a call from a Vogue editor who suggested they get on a diet and see a personal trainer. Kate and Laura were actually fine with it because they wanted to get healthier anyways (uh huh). The 'Vogue Diet' consisted of four months of personal training and a meal delivery service.

The fashionable diet paid off as they lost a combined total of 50 pounds. They even kept a diet diary that will appear in the April issue. Of course Vogue got a lot of heat for asking the sisters to diet, and this isn't the first time. Back in 1998 Oprah actually agreed to drop 20 pounds before her cover shoot.

I don't know what to think about this. On one hand if Vogue paid for all of my weight loss needs and I kinda wanted to drop some weight anyways it wouldn't be a big deal. However on the other hand ... Vogue is straight up calling people fat. What do you all think?

Oprah gives away Louboutins

Christian Louboutin - No Prive 942 Platform Slingbacks
It's days like these where I smack myself on the head and say " Why don't I go sit in the audience of The Oprah Show?"

The other day on Oprah's 'Making it Big' episode she was showcasing some of her favorite products that have "made it big." Some of those products were Coldstone Creamery ice cream, Carmex lip balm and Christian Louboutin shoes.


We all know how generous Oprah can be when it comes giving away her favorite products, so naturally she was giving stuff away to her audience members. Now I could care less about a $2 tub of Carmex but what I would have been excited to receive was the ice cream Christian Louboutin shoes.

Oprah and Christian Louboutin gave one lucky audience member a pair of open-toe tiger print patent leather shoes. These shoes are a great way to spice up a little black dress or to give a pair of jeans an extra bit on oomph.

If you weren't that lucky audience member you can purchase these shoes for around $600 at Saks. Just be warned: Since these Louboutins were showcased on 'Oprah,' they're probably sold out already and going for a million dollars on eBay.
