The Look For Less: Chloe Oversized Sunglasses

Chloe has really stepped up its game lately as far as sunglasses go.

Chloe has really stepped up its game lately as far as sunglasses go. Take these Chloe Oversized Sunglasses, $275. They're unlike any other shade out there, and in a sea of Nicole Richie-esque oversized sunnies, it's nice to find something fresh. I especially dig the gold accents around the edges. Pure genius!

Looks ready for the tennis court, a game of croquet or even just a dog walk around the neighborhood are considered high fashion, so put your most stylish sneaker forward and go sportif!

SATC Movie Sneak Peek! Carrie's Flower Power Dress: Love It or Hate It?

Behold, SJP's second outfit as Carrie Bradshaw, the movie!

Behold, SJP's second outfit as Carrie Bradshaw, the movie! It's different from the green getup we saw her in a couple days ago, but equally unique.

This white number is extra dramatic thanks to the oversized flower perched on the shoulder, a throwback to SATC Season 3. I like this look, even though only Carrie could pull it off. Never a fan of rosettes or overbearing flower details, aside, the dress has awesome ruching and a splash of gold metallic...and what I adore most is the contradiction between the femme dress and the masculine shoes. And I spy a Barneys shopping bag!

How do you feel about this one?

Celebrity Style: Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie attended a UN screening of the documentary Darfur Now looking professional and chic. She has this amazing ability to look just as glamorous in trousers as she does in a gown - if not more so. Her ensemble is ideal for work because it's demure yet stylish, and you always want to look fabulous, even at the office. But back to Angelina, her Alexander McQueen patent bag is what really takes her look from blasé to high-fashion.

Battle of the Chanel: Beckinsale vs. Washington

Here are two dissimilar Chanel looks; so it really comes down to individual style, fit and attitude.

Here are two dissimilar Chanel looks; so it really comes down to individual style, fit and attitude. Both gals looks pretty pleased to be in Chanel, whether it be in a black and white scalloped party dress or navy belted silk frock, but the messages are different. Party girl or sleek sophisticate?

Battle of the Chanel: Gellar vs. Bilson

These two ladies have a lot in common: both came out to support the arts at the P.S.

These two ladies have a lot in common: both came out to support the arts at the P.S. Arts party, and both chose a Chanel LBD to shine in. SMG's frock is more frilly and feminine, with shiny belting at the waist, while Rachel's look is more demure and classic, with jewel adornments. Both ladies prove they know how to dress to impress, in Chanel no less, but who gets your vote?
