Simply Fab: Sanita Black Patent Leather Clog

I love clogs. Whether they have traditional hand-painted flowers on them or are cosmopolitan slick, like these Sanita Black Patent Leather Clogs ($115), which are the closest thing I've found to a super comfortable and cute shoe.

I love clogs. Whether they have traditional hand-painted flowers on them or are cosmopolitan slick, like these Sanita Black Patent Leather Clogs ($115), which are the closest thing I've found to a super comfortable and cute shoe.

I know what you're thinking: They look like hospital shoes. But I saw a girl wearing these last weekend and thought they looked very functional chic. The bit of height and tread on the bottom prevent exposure and slippage in murky, icy waters and the patent leather makes them acceptable in fashion circles. You ask what kind of stylish shoe one can wear in a blizzard? Look no further.

Spring Peek: Sporty Spice

If one of your new year's resolutions is to get your bod in shape, aspiring to be Sporty Spice might help.

If one of your new year's resolutions is to get your bod in shape, aspiring to be Sporty Spice might help. Stripes, anoraks, shorts, cardigans, polos and visors — gotta love it at Michael Kors (pictured) — make for chic on-the-go looks that would make Coco proud. Even if you're not heading to the courts or going for a jog, you can have fun this Spring with the free spirit of athleticism.

Celebrity Style: Emily Mortimer

All the famous ladies who attended the National Board of Review Awards chose to wear black or blue, but English actress Emily Mortimer stood out in her asymmetrical frock and strappy, Chanel platforms.

All the famous ladies who attended the National Board of Review Awards chose to wear black or blue, but English actress Emily Mortimer stood out in her asymmetrical frock and strappy, Chanel platforms. The skinny black-patent belt gives the outfit some dazzle as do her simple earrings. For your look below, I've provided a black tank to be worn under the dress to give the asymmetrical touch.

Which Rachel Bilson For GQ Magazine Lingerie Look Do You Like Best?

Finally! Rachel Bilson traded in her boots for something a little more sassy — correction — a lot more sexy.

Finally! Rachel Bilson traded in her boots for something a little more sassy — correction — a lot more sexy. In February's GQ Magazine, the cute-as-a-button actress looks, well, not exactly cute. Rather, she looks like a sexy kitten who just discovered her appeal and the power of the purr. I am quite mesmerized by these Ellen von Unwerth photos because they reveal an edgier side of Rachel that I presume only her lovers have witnessed. I feel like a fly on the wall in her bedroom, unable to pull myself away from the alluring peep show. My favorite outfit, if you can even call it that, is the baby-pink lace bra and shorts by French lingerie brand Chantal Thomass because it's feminine and pinup chic. Which do you like best?

(L-R: Agent Provocateur two-piece with Christian Louboutin espadrilles; Victoria's Secret slip dress and necklace from Diavolina boutique in LA; Chantal Thomass bra and Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann ($12); Chantal Thomass bra and shorts)

Cheap & Chic: Houndstooth

Sophia Bush is definitely on my fashion radar.

Sophia Bush is definitely on my fashion radar. She has been churning out sophisticated, youthful looks for weeks and this houndstooth dress is no exception. Like brocade, houndstooth is a Winter staple so I thought I would go shopping for some, on a budget. All these black and white checkered items help you achieve the graphic and fun look of the print — all for under $100.
