How to Look Chic, Not Cheap. Paris Hilton in a Hot Pink Bikini OR When Paris Isn’t Always Chic

Two blondes, two Chanel classic flap bags, two red carpets, two cities... what in carnation went wrong?! Cardinal Fashion Rule #1: Just because you are wearing expensive things does not mean that you cannot look cheap I am the first to admit that we kinda love Paris Hilton for being the modern day Charo when it comes to hoochie-coochie styleŚ someone needs to be kooky colorful on the red carpet and it may as well be her. But as a fashion plate? Not so much. For all you label queens out there, sorry to report that looking chic is not always in the bag, no matter how luxurious that handbag may be. Marie-Josee Croze in Paris looks stunning and chic

Agyness Deyn blinks some wiggy go-go eyes

Blink Me: Agyness Deyn channels Peggy Moffitt Here's a makeup trick that we don't recommend you try at home: Crazy long false lower lashes. The eyelashes gone mad look, a la the Lashisse video parody, below, was spotted on the spring runways and looks fab in a wild theatrical way. But in real life, maybe not so much. Except, if you are model Agyness Deyn who was most definitely channeling 60's mod mannequin Peggy Moffitt- you know, of the Rudi Gernreich topless bathing suit fame -- when she collected the Brand of the Year Award at the ACE Awards on behalf of Burberry, last night. Her Burberry satin tux with cropped pants keep the rest of her look rockin' hard.

The best black leather jacket… Does black really go with everything?

The best black leather jacket… How to wear a leather jacket and does black really go with everything? My 21-year-old daughter tells me that I am wrong! She thinks her black leather jacket does not "go" with a colored sweater and jeans, so she chose to "freeze" today instead of wearing her leather jacket here in usually much warmer central Florida. I grew up in Chicago where people do not own five different colored winter coats because everything goes with black. Am I wrong??? My daughter also tells me that one does not wear black with brown or even black with blue. Please help us settle this argument. Thanks for your input. (Lakeland, FL) Jeez mama mia, seems like the

Wearing brown and black… Rules are for fools when it comes to men’s fashion

Wearing brown and black… Rules are for fools when it comes to men's fashion Alright, so I have a friend who professes that the brown with black rule for fashion is completely outdated. He said that its roots actually lie with royalty wearing black and lower classes wearing brown, and never the two shall meet. So, I was just wondering if it is okay to ditch the rule, as long as the accessories are the same? Thanks! (Radford, VA) Your pal needs far more than some fashion enlightening. I think you should ditch the twit and tell him not to come back until he gets some class. Or perhaps tell Mr. Biggety to limit his attire to an a-hole friendly

If they are not the same shade of black should you not wear them together? I feel that as long as they are not drastically different it is okay. I don't have a huge budget for clothes and I tend to gravitate towards simple black items. Is this a bad thing? (Birmingham, AL) This is an excellent question and a style point that is commonly ignored. Most people assume that black is black and technically defined as the absence of color, but it's not always that simple. It may have a greenish, purplish, or reddish
