Red Carpet: Hail Britannia!

At this year's BAFTA Los Angeles Britannia Awards, three of our fave fashionistas, Carey Mulligan, Marion Cotillard, and Olivia Wilde, showed up looking a little blue, a little lumpy and a little Angie, respectively. 

1. First, Carey Mulligan. Sometimes, we feel she gets a little lost in the fashion (particularly of late). We appreciate her effort very much, her youthful and quirky style and the fact that she often tries to make a look her "own". We even nominated her for the Fierce Fashionista award. But here, the blue suede shoes don't quite work for us. They're all we can see and that's just not right as the dress is entirely cute in its own right. We love pocketed dresses and we find Ms. Mulligan looks utterly charming, girlish and shy when she's got her hands shoved in pockets. Plus, we like the textured bodice with the black from the back of the dress peeking out at the shoulders. Also, we wouldn't have thought  the mid-calf length would work on tiny little Carey, but she definitely tends to favor it and we think it works here and really highlights the fact...that she's wearing blue suede shoes. True, the shoes, on their own, are beautiful and they add some quirkiness to an elegant dress. Again, we appreciate it and we even kinda like it maybe, but think that there needed to be a pop of color at the top (some small sapphire or ruby earrings or maybe just a brighter lip?) to balance the strong color. Overall though, we say she's in.

Red Carpet: Anne Hathaway at Love and Other Drugs Premiere

So, we thought Anne Hathaway looked frighteningly bad at Halloween, but we think she looks positively radiant here at the premiere of  her new movie "Love and Other Drugs". However, we can't help but notice that she can't seem to stay away from accentuating her hips, or at least letting them breathe a bit with what we are going to call "dress gills". We also can't help but mention that we are a bit over the whole nude shoe thing, even if we think they look pretty chic with this dress.

Let's Play...Match the Love Child with The Rock Star

Hello, hello dear hearts! It has been far too long since we last spoke. As such, I felt the need to reach into my bag of tricks and create a bit of excitement and suspense. That's right. It's a game darlings called "Match the Love Child With the Rock Star."

The rules are simple. Below we have nine young ladies who are either models or actresses, or both, and each one has the looks to go with the job. Each one of these young ladies also happens to have a rock star dad and (most have) a model mom, which, of course go together like Charlie Sheen and cocaine. How to play? Well, each model/actress is labeled with a number, which you must then match with the letter for the corresponding dad.

And our nominees for world's greatest father go to: A. Mick Jagger, B. Keith Richards, C. Phil Collins, D. Rod Stewart, E. Simon Le Bon, F. Richie Sambora, and G. John Phillips. You may notice that we only have seven nominees, but nine model/actress daughters. Why is that, you may ask? Well, two of our Dads have managed to father more than one gorge daughter.

Model 1. Papa was a rolling stone...or was he?

Model 2. Cute 'do. Like father like daughter?

Model 3.  Wherever he laid his hat was his home...

Model 4 and Model 5. Hint. These two models have the same Pop.

Model 6. We think this model should seriously 
rethink the 80s crimped
hair, although it's fitting.  

Model 8. This model could be her mother.

Model 7. Papa's got a brand new bag. Or at least his daughter does.

Model 9. Papa sure loved this actress' Mama. 

Part 2: Happy Halloween!

Hello again witches and warlocks! While many celebs were being dignified at the Lanvin Halloween bash, far more were out and about drinking trashcan punch and doing the Monster Mash at various undignified parties.

Stacy Keibler and friends as the Three Amigos! A classic film, which we are now adding to our Netflix queue.

Part 1: Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween ghouls and ghosts! Before you eat another Reese's peanut butter cup, please enjoy these photos from the 2010 Lanvin Halloween Extravaganza. Some of these ladies were costumed as the world's skinniest rumored-to-be pregnant ladies (hello, Rachel Zoe), some came dressed as Victor/ Victoria (we're looking at you Janet Jackson), some we were not certain whether they were wearing a costume or not (yes, Padma Lakshmi, is that a Pocahontas costume or just your everyday wear, we're confused?) and some looked like strange half-leopard half-bird creatures, whose Hershey bars had really gone to their hips (Anne Hathaway dear, what were you thinking?).

Well, ciao for now. Enjoy and we'll post some sillier costume pics later. Boo!

World's Least Obvious Baby Bump

Kudos to Sienna Miller

Hello dear hearts! We just had to how you these pics of Sienna Miller at the UNESCO Charity Gala, who we think is looking quite elegant in her white lace and satin gown. And elegant is certainly one word which does not often describe Ms. Miller. Not that we don't appreciate Sienna's style, but we don't often think of Grace Kelly when we see her. So kudos to you Sienna! Our only complaint is that we're not loving the hair, which is reading a bit old lady librarian to us, but otherwise well done.

Project Runway: Heidi, You're Out (Part 4)

Mondo Guerra on the Runway. Mondo's inspiration for his final collection is his Mexican heritage. And, we also think it's a little Carmen Miranda. And considering the most recent Prada collection, this could also be seen as on trend. What we really think, though, is that we love every single thing in his collection on some level. Even if we wouldn't actually wear it, we still like looking at it. Why? Because of the graphic prints, bright colors, sequins, handbags, day of the dead skulls. We see a lot of things we could take and wear with a pair of skinny jeans. And we still want that skull handbag. There is nothing subtle about Mondo's collection, but we are drawn to it. In other words, his style is more our style than Gretchen's is, and, therefore, we like it more than hers.


Let's go ahead and take a look at Mondo's final collection...

Project Runway: Heidi, You're Out (Part 3)

Andy South on the Runway. Andy explains that his collection was inspired by his heritage and background. Unfortunately, our main impression of Andy's collection is that his models look like space cadets. Every single girl is wearing silver and/or green. We like his pretty little one-shouldered silver fringe dress and we like the short pleated green dress, but otherwise we think it looks flat and amateurish. We realize that Gretchen's collection is much, much better than his. And now that we know he's been using other people's patterns (click here for the scandal), thanks to Tom and Lorenzo, we don't feel bad for not liking the collection so much.

But let's go ahead and take a look...
