Back in March, Jennifer Lopez proved curvy women can pull off high-waisted skinny jeans. Now, Deal or No Deal model Claudia Jordan is attempting to bring back those jeans. It's a toughie to pull off so I give props to both women for trying. Jennifer deserves a few extra points for those YSL pumps, layered bangles, and cool vest. Who do you think wore them better?
"You live it. You love it. But then there are those days that you remember, 'it's only fashion.'" I couldn't have said it better myself. Emelle Press' "It's Only Fashion" Card ($4.50 each) made its way to me at LA Fashion Week. I had to share it because though we live and breathe fashion, we should also try to live by Project Runway alum Santino Rice's words: "Lighten up, it's fashion."
Remember a while ago I talked about Katie Holmes' fashion metamorphosis and her increasingly fashion forward style? We have seen a lot from her since then solidifying my hypothesis. I have to say: I'm impressed. Some say she dresses too old for her age, this is true, but here at the premiere to Lions for Lambs in Berlin, Germany she looks like a bona fide starlet. A sucker for sparkles, I think her super sparkly Armani Prive look is balanced with just the right amount of skin. But I can see how some might not approve. However, those shoes? Brilliance.

At the Supper Club New York launch party last night, Spanish-born model Eugenia Silva looked smashing and effortlessly high fashion. You may recognize her from Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera fragrance ads, Victoria's Secret catalogs, as well as from catwalks all over the world. But back to the matter at hand. Her fur jacket is exquisite to say the least, and I admire how she kept the rest of her outfit subdued. She's definitely one to keep on our fashion radar.

Remember when I said orange was going to be a big color for Spring? Scratch that. Orange has arrived. These ladies are fashion forward and already sporting the uplifting hue. This is also proof that different oranges work for different skin tones and hair colors — you just need to find the right one for you. And this is the exact time of the year to go searching, as the Fall leaves change color and pumpkin patches abound.
