Celebrity Style: Hayden Panettiere

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...happy birthday, dear Hayden...!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...happy birthday, dear Hayden...! The ever-so-adorable Hayden turns 18 today and that's reason enough to give her a spot on Celebrity Style. Thankfully she really deserves it as she looks super cute in her Alice + Olivia sequined LBD on her way to the David Letterman show. I also gave the birthday gal a silver clutch to complete her look. Enjoy!

On Our Radar: ShopVogue.TV

Tonight at midnight, Vogue magazine is launching ShopVogue.TV, an interactive site filled to the brim with original video content.

Tonight at midnight, Vogue magazine is launching ShopVogue.TV, an interactive site filled to the brim with original video content.

There are three different sections to ShopVogue.TV: Shop, Watch, and Share. In the Shop section, you can peruse different fashion ads from companies like Burberry or Tod's and get information on how to buy the handbags, clothes, or jewelry featured in the ads. The Share section allows you to upload your favorite pictures and looks for all the other users to see.

My personal favorite, however, is the Watch section, which contains 260 minutes of original video content. This section could really keep you entertained for a while, especially because it features behind-the-scenes videos of advertising campaigns like Chloe or David Yurman or L by Gwen Stefani.

There are also 'Trend Watch' videos, runway videos which give you information about the pieces and where you can buy them as the model strolls down the catwalk, and '60 Seconds to Chic' videos, which is all about creating looks in a short amount of time.

Pretty cool, huh? And to think, this is only the beginning. Who knows where it could go from here!

Celebrity Style: America Ferrera

America Ferrera hasn't ceased to amaze me as of late.

America Ferrera hasn't ceased to amaze me as of late. She always steps on that red carpet looking stellar and ultra feminine. Here, at the Hot in Hollywood party, she chose a body-hugging Black Halo dress with pleated bodice. She took the look from simple to lady with the black patent leather belt and strappy sandals. She's definitely a fine example of how to work dresses that accentuate sexy curves!

I don't know about you, but I just can't get enough of Karl Lagerfeld. I am so excited to hear that his Karl Lagerfeld label is preparing to roll out handbags, small leather goods, and luggage for the Fall 2008 season!

Both groups will include small leather goods and luggages, as aforementioned, while the designer offerings will encompass a full travel collection of travel bags, accessories, and luggage, priced from $485-$850.

Everything will be stocked at high-end department stores and top specialty stores around the country. Exciting!

Jean-Paul Gaultier's purple belted dress has struck the fancy of two beautiful actresses: Diane Kruger at the Cartier Polo Day and Debra Messing at the unveiling of Saks Fifth Avenue's brand new shoe department. Diane chose to cinch her waist with a black patent leather belt, while Debra used a matching one. Diane opted for Prada's Pewter Jeweled Sandals while Debra went with black platform pumps.

Stella McCartney Knit Drawstring Bag: Love It or Hate It?

Knits are huge for Fall.

Knits are huge for Fall. Stella McCartney's Knit Drawstring Bag, $1,195, posted by Gruaig_rua in the Love It or Hate It? group is covered with knit alright! It reminds me of the North Pole - especially with the polar bear embedded on it. It makes me warm just looking at it. I like the shape and pattern so I would carry it. Would you?
