A good friend is (finally!) graduating from college and has invited me to the ceremony.

A good friend is (finally!) graduating from college and has invited me to the ceremony. It's been a while since I attended someone else's graduation, so I needed help finding the perfect ensemble. I told you I wanted to look stylish (a given), a tad fancy (but not overboard), and comfortable.

I started you off with this Luciana Paiva Grey Circle Sequin Clutch ($675) because it's fancy and fun. Let's see what you all came up with!
Look # 1, created by gabitaitalia, is fashion forward and comfortable. Love the colorblock shirtdress!

Sugar's Sex and the City Movie Premiere Party!

Last night was a night to remember in Sugarland. Not only did we get to see the Sex and the City movie, but we were also treated to a fabulous afterparty, complete with yummy cosmos, mini appetizers, and sprinkle cupcakes! The food and decor were awesome (thanks, PartySugar!) but you know what I was most excited about . . . the party-goers' outfits! From Geek to Bella, Savvy to Buzz, and more, the Sugar girls really outdid themselves. There were dresses galore, high heels a plenty, and pizzazz to go around. Check it out!

Be sure to peruse Bella's beauty slideshow as well.

Celebrity Style: Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie continued to be a good girl as she headed to traffic school.

Nicole Richie continued to be a good girl as she headed to traffic school. This time, she wore the Laurel Canyon jeans that Paige Denim and Ron Herman recently collaborated on and an adorable white eyelet top. I love that the top lends crispness while the jeans are grungy. Per usual, her signature oversized sunnies pull together the look. And don't you just love her hair in a messy ponytail?

Fab Flash: The House of Dior Karma

There's been a lot of chatter about Sharon Stone's insensitive remarks regarding the massive earthquake that recently struck China.

There's been a lot of chatter about Sharon Stone's insensitive remarks regarding the massive earthquake that recently struck China. I believe the actress said something along the lines of, "They're not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine. And then the earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma?" Mind you she said this at the Cannes Film Festival — not very classy, indeed.

Well Sharon, karma's a bitch and her China Dior ads have been pulled as a result. As well, the house of Dior is distancing itself from the actress, who has since apologized. Her words: “In the course of the interview I made inappropriate remarks and for any harm created towards the Chinese people I am extremely sad and apologize,” Stone said. It is still to be determined if the actress will continue to represent the house.

This electric orange Elizabeth and James Parachute Dress ($375) is bright and perfect for a lazy stroll on the beach. However, I'm not too sure about the puffiness and bubble hem. Do you think this dress is hot, or not?
