"You may be my lucky star." This line rings true in regards to our favorite of-the-moment jewelry trend.Aretha Franklin's Star on Walk of Fame Vandalized by Fur Haters
Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style
Ok, maybe we were a little too hard on Aretha Franklin for what we perceive to be a millinery mishap at the inauguration. The bow wasn't really that huge. This week, we are totally incensed on Aretha's behalf, because some fur-punk decided to deface her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That's just flat out going too far. Insulting her choice in headgear is one thing, but desecrating the greatness of a soul legend by scrawling "Fur Hag" on her star ... that's just wrong.Continue reading Aretha Franklin's Star on Walk of Fame Vandalized by Fur Haters
Marilyn Monroe - Still a Style Icon (and These Numbers Prove It!)

Marilyn Monroe: Style Icon
Marilyn Monroe was a sex symbol and style icon while she was alive, but her influence remains just as strong more than 45 years after her death. Don't believe us? Just wait until you hear how much certain pieces of Marilyn memorabilia is going for!

Marilyn's dress from "Some Like it Hot" was so tiny that the curvaceous starlet had to be literally sewn into it. And on a recent edition of "Antiques Roadshow" the current owner of that particular little black dress was shocked to learn that it's worth $150,000 to $250,000!

And the dress isn't the only thing worth a bundle. A group of 36 images of Monroe, which were taken for Vogue magazine the year that she died, were sold at auction for almost $150,000. The pictures in question were about to be published when the magazine was made aware of Monroe's death, and were used instead as a tribute in Vogue.

Marilyn's appeal was due to much more than her feminine curves and platinum blonde hair -- her innocence and vulnerability endeared her to men and women alike.

Born Norma Jeane Mortenson (later changed to Norma Jeane Baker) in 1926, she changed her name and dyed her hair blonde in 1946, which was when her career really took off. She landed a number of movie roles, each garnering her praise, and in 1954 she married baseball star Joe DiMaggio.

On their honeymoon, she stopped to entertain the troops. Her presence nearly caused a riot. This was the first step toward the demise of their nine-month marriage, although, the couple remained friends.

Successful, single, and already an icon, Monroe decided to pursue "serious acting," moving to New York to study at the Actors' Studio. She met and married playwright Arthur Miller, who wrote a part specifically for her in "The Misfits." They divorced in 1961, but a year later, Marilyn was named Female World Film Favorite at the Golden Globes, solidifying her status as one of the world's most beloved stars of the silver screen.

The blonde bombshell inspired thousands of designers and artists, one of the most famous being Andy Warhol. His pop art of actress is recognized all over the world.

Although, if you want to talk about something highly recognizable, you can't beat the image of Marilyn in the white dress in Seven Year Itch. This dress has been emulated by young starlets on the red carpet (and many of the rest of us) ever since.

Proof that Marilyn Monroe sells: Hundreds, if not thousands, of magazine covers have been dedicated to her.

Dress like a Jonas Brother
Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Celebrities with Style, Kids and Babies
When we were done watching Disney's Camp Rock (again!)* we couldn't help but think how totally awesome it would be if the Jonas Brothers had their own line of clothing. Then we read that The Sun had an interview with the band and that one of them, we think it was Curly, or maybe Moe, said that they were thinking about doing just that! This is where we type OMG! OMG! OMG! like over and over again.
We. Could. Just. Die. A freaking Jonas Brothers clothing line? Did we say OMG yet?
Okay, so maybe we're spreading it a bit thick. As far as teenage idols go they seem like a better option than most, and they do have a safe sense of style which we're sure parents appreciate. One thing is for sure, it could be worse.
Does this mean that Libby Lu will have to add a boy's section?
*Yes, we really watched it. It's no High School Musical, but it's cute.
