Things I Love: Koolaburra Venus Sandals

Jessica Alba was recently spotted wearing these Koolaburra Venus Sandals. I really love these gypsy sandals because they have a way of making the most casual outfits glamorous in a matter of seconds. Ms. Alba must agree, because she paired her cute and comfy lightweight leather jacket and skinnies with a pair.

As fall rapidly approaches, take a page out of Alba's book of style and pair gypsy sandals with a comfy light jacket and hip hugging skinnies. This look is perfect for the fall, when mornings are cool and the evenings are blazing.

Lovin' these Koolaburra Venus Sandals like I am? Get them here.

Tiffany and Co. Introduces First Collection of Handbags

Tiffany and Co. has dominated the Jewelry scene for ages (who doesn't have a weakness for that little blue box?), and now the legendary company is taking its shot at fashion. And what better way to the hearts of the stylishly obsessed? Well handbags of course. Tiffany and Co. has launched its first line of handbags, and by the look of the collection, the company is off to a fashionable start.

The collection contain 44 pieces, and was designed by Lamberston Truex. The bags will stay true to the legacy of the empire, as every bag is lined with blue satin or leather, similar to those blue boxes we all love.

The price range for these bags ranges from affordable to luxurious, with numbers ranging from $395-$16,000.

The Hollywood Elite can't seem to wait to get their wealthy hands on these bags, as Jennifer Anniston was recently spotted with a trendy sued bag from the company.

While I have given you a quick glimpse of the collection, the entire collection is available for your viewing pleasure at Tiffany.com.

Little Black Dress Edition: Taraji P. Henson at The 'I Can Do Bad All By Myself' Premiere

The very beautiful (and my absolutely favorite actress) and Oscar nominated Taraji P. Henson recently attended the premiere of her upcoming film "I Can Do Bad All By Myself."

Taraji P. Henson looked absolutely stunning in all black and I can't help but think this little black dress is ultra fabulous.


The corset style dress is so chic and trendy I have been digging around the web all morning in search for the designer. No luck.

Taraji P. Henson completed her look with open toe pumps and a metallic clutch. She also went light on the jewelry opting for a stylish cuff bracelet and chandelier style hoop earrings.

Simple but fierce. But honestly, can you ever go wrong with a little black dress?

Serena Williams To Debut Signature Statement Collection On HSN

Serena Williams is set to debut her Signature Statement Collection on HSN. In the photo above, she is wearing one of the necklaces from her upcoming Signature Statement Collection.

Just in case you have been hiding your little fabulous self under a rock, statement jewelry is one of the hottest trends in fashion right now. You can barely get through those glossy pages of Vogue without everyone from the celebs to the supermodels rocking big chunky necklaces, rings, and earrings.

This heart necklace that Serena is fabulously wearing makes me think this collection might be worth a peek or two.

Serena Williams will be featured on HSN on September 18 to show off her Signature Statement Collection. Her jewelry can be purchased on HSN.com

Did You Know?

that Michael Jackson was planning to launch a fashion line during his final tour?

I didn't either.

Apparently, the late King of Pop Michael Jackson was indeed working on his very own clothing line. Notable fashion designer Christian Audigier was in talks with Jackson to work on the label.

The label was to include studded rhinestone gloves and socks.

In related news, Michael Jackson's death has been ruled as a homicide.

Julia Stiles Launches Joke Eco Fashion Site

Actress Julia Stiles has launched a new joke eco fashion site that pokes fun at stars that have become eco-obsessed.

The site entitles JuliaStilesStyles.com promotes her new clothing line which features suits made of newspapers and ties made out of disposable floor cloths.

While I can't say this isn't a dumb publicity tactic, it's still always refreshing to see a celebrity who actually has a sense of humor.

Propers: Hottest Looks of The Week

It's Friday...and time to give propers to this week's most stylish.

Let's get to it people...

Rather you love her or hate her, Beyonce did the damn thing this week.



She rocked this chic and flirty look for her taping on David Letterman. This color looks great on Beyonce and it is one of the hottest colors of the season. According to the Pantone color report for this season, the color is Palace Blue. Great shade.

And here she is leaving the show in a white and more glamorous dress...



Very diva. She looked fabulous this week in all of her appearances, but these are my favorite looks. With Beyonce's style, either it is a hit or a horrible miss. She truly deserves her propers for this week.

Oh yeah...her shoe game is on point. Pure fierceness.

Celebrity Fashion|Chanel And Tribeca Film Festival|Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, Mary-Kate Olsen & Others

The Chanel And Tribeca Film Festival took place recently, and some of the most fabulous celebs came out in support. Of course they were all decked out in Chanel in honor of the occasion.

One of my favorite and most fashionable starlets Kerry Washington made an appearance, and as usual, rocked a look that truly demonstrates how independently stylish she really is...

Kerry looked absolutely gorgeous in silver and this dress is classic Chanel. She accessorized with a silver Chanel clutch bag, and black pumps. I love that she pulled back her hair and went easy with the make-up since her look was so classic. I love Kerry's style.

Oscar nominated actress Viola Davis also made an appearance...



Can't say I love her look, but her hair is fierce.

Alexis Bledel came out...



Yawn. I love Alexis but this look was a snooze fest. Glad to see her out and about though...she's been ghost for a while.

Mary-Kate Olsen...



Leave it to Mary-Kate Olsen to always dress like a woman in her late 50's. Her red Chanel clutch is fab though.

And Drena DeNiro looked stunning in a crimson one-shoulder number...



Gorgeous.

Did You Waste Your Time Last Night...

and watch the Making The Band Season 5 Finale? I did. I truly wasted an hour of my life that I can NEVER get back. Oh well...Here's my view on the foolishness that happened last night.

As much as I love Day 26, their performances were horrible. The first performance wasn't all that great, but the energy was hot. When they performed "Perfectly Blind" they sounded like solo artists trying to outsing one another instead of a harmonized group. It just sounded like a lot of noise.

And there were quite a few moments when they would just stop singing in the middle of a chorus or verse and just dance. They really need to work on their performing abilities...ASAP. But sadly, they probably won't last under Diddy anyway. Take that, take that.

Danity Kane wasted their own time by coming back because neither one of them answered any of the questions honestly (Dawn tried to keep it real, but kept getting cut off). They gave politically correct answers on why they broke up. But judging from all the tension that took place between Aubrey and Dawn, and hell even D. Woods' eyerolls and stank faces, these girls really don't like each other. So I hope for everyone's sake, they never get back together.

They all have "solo" careers in the works, but the only ones who have a chance of surviving are Dawn, Aubrey, and MAYBE Aundrea. Dawn can continue to write songs and has a comic book she can fall back on if singing doesn't work, Aubrey is a hot porno mess and can always find work in the nudey biz if her reality show doesn't take off, and Aundrea had the best voice out of the group. Honestly, D. Woods is too boring to surive in a business with artists like Beyonce, Keri Hilson, J-Hud, Ciara (who can dance her a** off), Keyshia Cole, Jasmine Sullivan, etc. Who would check for her?

Ah well ...I just know Diddy isn't quite done with this Making The Band foolishness. All aspiring artists should just RUN from BadBoy...you see what always happens.

Fashion News Round-Up|Gisele Bundchen tries fashion design, LC has plans after The Hills, and Diddy is looking for models

Newlywed Gisele Bundchen is launching her own line of shoes. She debuted her high end shoe line entitled "Ipanema Gisele Bundchen" on Wednesday in Madrid, Spain.



The Hills star Lauren Conrad may be leaving the MTV hit series, but she still has a career waiting on her. It was announced that she will be partnering with Kohl's to launch a fashion line exclusively for the department store. The line will hit stores in October. These damn "reality shows" seem to be launching people's careers these days.



And Diddy's fashion label Sean Jean is now looking for fresh faces for their upcoming advertising campaign. The contest started yesterday and ends on April 29, 2009. They are looking for male models for their men's collection. Folks can upload their own photos on the site or just vote for any of the contestants. The winner will be chosen May 8.

Diddy says:

“We’re always trying to come up with interactive ideas that keep our customers involved with the Sean John brand. It will be really interesting to see who our fans choose to be the new face for the collection.”

Celebrity Fashion|1st Historic Health Summit Gala| Naomi Campbell,Kristin Davis, Jessica Alba

The 1st Historic Health Summit Gala recently took place, and of course the celebs came out to support and got all dapper for the occassion.

Naomi Campbell made an appearance...





She wore an all black, halter dress with ribbon detail. She accessorized with a pearl cuff bracelet and diamond studs. Can't say I'm loving the look...but she sure is glowing. I guess having a billionaire boyfriend will do that to you.




Sex And The City diva Kristin Davis also made an all black appearance. She looked fab in one of the hottest trends out right now...lace. Kristin always manages to dress just like her SATC character Charlotte: Classic and Fabulous.

Kristin has also joined SATC cast member Sarah Jessica Parker and has dabbled into fashion design. She has her own line of shoes and clothing. And from what I have seen so far...her pieces are absolutely stunning. Prices are kind of high, but I have been impressed with what I have seen so far and I usually don't do celebrity fashion lines.

Moving on...

And Jessica Alba cleaned up and looked stunning in white...



She looked gorgeous in her ruffled dress and used a belt to add some sass to the mid section of her dress. I am loving the make-up and I am glad to see she can still get diva when she has to. And you know what I am talking about...Jess has been pretty disappointing lately with her fashion choices.

Nonetheless, this calls for a double take...



Fabulous. Well work it out then Jessica.

Michael Jackson's...

driver has allegedly smashed into an ambulance, breaking off it's wing mirror while in the process of picking up the superstar.

They say once the driver picked up Jackson, he got the hell on.

So They Say Jennifer Hudson Is Pregnant...

But her rep says it is 100% false. they even say J-Hud laughed when she heard the rumors. I know I personally ain't fallling for the preggers hype with this chick because every couple of months someone is saying she is pregnant and has a baby bump.

Anyway, her fiance David is really working on starting his pro wrestling career. I'm glad he's leaving those reality tv shows alone.

Beyonce...

will be on Larry King Live tonight. She is in full promo mode, so she will be talking about her hit album, tour, and upcoming film Obsessed which hits theaters tomorrow.

Beyonce Has Plans...

to team up with Britain's X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke on a new track. Beyonce has been telling people she thinks Alexandra has what it takes to be as a big as Leona Lewis, and plans to help her do so.

For those who don't know X-Factor is basically the American Idol of Britain.

I know...it's a slow news day.
