Bridal Inspiration: White Gowns So Pretty You May Want To Get Married

Diane Kruger, Audrey Tautao, Liya Kebede, Berenice Bejo, Michelle Rodriquez, Andie MacDowell all in white on the red carpet

I'll Have What She's Having: White gowns so lovely that you don't need to look at bridal magazines for inspiration when you can be inspired by right off the red carpet! Let's face it, a wedding dress is a dress that you get married wearing.It has NOTHING to do with what department the dress came from (mine was vintage and simply ivory) and EVERYTHING to do with what you feel pretty in and will want to look at for decades to come in photographs. So, think out of the bridal box! Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger on the red carpet stairs at Cannes- rice not included. It's white night on the red carpet as of late as white is one

With rich colors and prints a plenty, some of the more subtle and best ideas in Milan for Spring 2012 may have been easy to miss, so we thought it would be a good time to take a moment and look back before the crush of Paris takes over. Here's a look back at some of the clever details that caught our eye. MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS Prada (and above) Vintage ladylike bags got revved up with ingenious graphic appliqué automobiles complete with Prada license plates that are certain to be seen everywhere come Spring. Fendi The cardigan lost its granny connotations at Fendi via a sheer chiffon base and thick, textural oversized cables smartly placed over the bust. Dolce & Gabbana

Roberto Cavalli Just in time for the current season's winter chill comes a bevy of inspirational finds from the best men's shows from Milan for 2012 to take a cue from when looking for fresh outerwear ideas. From Roberto Cavalli's contrast pea-coat (above) to heritage-minded finery, there's something for everyone to keep in mind when shopping for that perfect coat. Burberry Burberry's color-blocked puffer may keep you warm, but its rich mix of colors offers a fresh alternative to drab winter dressing. >>SHOP: MEN’S STYLE GUIDE TO EVERYDAY CHIC Dolce and Gabbana While a majority of the collection was full of heavily gilded embroidered coats, this cloak allows for a dramatic sartorial touchdown in the dandiest way possible. >>More Mens: Fashion Reviews &

Age-Appropriate Dress- Real Women Are Pretty Harsh When It Comes To Fashion Choices

I'll Have What She's Having: Style WITHOUT an expiration date I don't think Jane Fonda (70's), Sigourney Weaver (60's), Madonna (50's), and Demi Moore (40's) got the memo from the British ladies polled who seem to think that 30 is the new 60-- well, sort of-- when it comes to style! These gorgeous at any age celebrity ladies were probably too busy being vital rather than worrying if they are too old to wear stilettos. Yes, the study says that at age 51 you're over the hill for high heels. Can you imagine? Madonna wearing a vintage Roberto Cavalli dress from the Spring/Summer 2008 Collection out and about in NY yesterday. Listen, I'd be the first one to tell you

Elizabeth Taylor Style, A Legend Beyond Her Fashion and Beauty

I'll Have What She's Having: A true movie star, a fashion icon, and a tireless activist to raise AIDS awareness As we grow older, we hold close the memories-- or visual snapshots-- of our youth and coming of age. Through all the celebrity gossip, a dark suntan, big boobs, tremendous jewels, flashy outfits and many husbands, what I remember first about Elizabeth Taylor is her devotion to her family, pets, and to raising AIDS awareness. Then there was her fashion --particularly through the 1950's 1960's, and 1970's-- that for better or worse was more than memorable. I'll let Brad Boles share the rest about this very smart and philanthropic legend—and that is the classiest of all that is glamour and

Grammy Fashion- The Red Carpet That Is Thankfully Never Boring

The red carpet that won't put you to sleep It may seem a bit not (fashion) politically correct, but I cannot bare to see one more celebrity looking like a runaway prom queen or mother of the bride on the red carpet. Right in the nick of time before we have to start power-loading the style caffeine for Oscar time, comes the Grammy's... or fashion's answer to take a risk and shine. Nicki Minaj kept her signature kewpi doll kooky on and raised the bar to hugh to style in a leopard Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci "ensemble" with matching matching leopard printed belt, gloves, leggings and shoes.
