Teen Choice Awards: Roundup

Red carpet events in the dead of Summer are such a nice contrast to the formal events that take place in the Fall and Winter, since we love to see the stars in their fun and flirty attire.

Red carpet events in the dead of Summer are such a nice contrast to the formal events that take place in the Fall and Winter, since we love to see the stars in their fun and flirty attire. There were plenty of looks to capture at last night's Teen Choice Awards and we've got them all. Tell us what you loved and hated!

Style For Style: Back Friendly Handbags

I recently heard of a girl who complained she could no longer use her large chain-handle Chanel bag because her doctor said it's bad for her back.

I recently heard of a girl who complained she could no longer use her large chain-handle Chanel bag because her doctor said it's bad for her back. What a shame. You pay thousands of dollars for the purse of your dreams, and and it turns out to be a pain in the back. That's not OK. If you're in the same predicament, let's get you out of it!

  • You shouldn't carry around any more than 10 percent of your body weight. So if you're 130 pounds, your bag should be no heavier than 13 pounds. Stay away from handbags that are heavy even without anything inside.
  • Avoid long-strapped bags and chain handles. The former swings around as you walk, while the chain handle digs into your skin.
  • When wearing shoulder bags, make sure the longest your bag sits is around your waist or bellybutton area. Satchels with short handles are preferable.

Teen Choice Awards: Best Dressed

You've voted on your favorites and not so favorites, but by now you have tasted the eye candy from the Teen Choice Awards.

You've voted on your favorites and not so favorites, but by now you have tasted the eye candy from the Teen Choice Awards. I was in awe of the exciting mix of prints and colors the ladies brought; overall, I was impressed! Alas, there are always hits and misses. For me, it's a close hit between Kristen Bell in laid-back Jenni Kayne and glistening in Brian Reyes Bilson. We've even got two Gossip Girls in the running against each other. Vote for the worst dressed, but be sure to vote here for the best!

Simply Fab: See By Chloe Light Up Keychain

A flashlight isn't the most fashionable accessory, but every girl needs one.

A flashlight isn't the most fashionable accessory, but every girl needs one. Safety first! I actually keep mine on my keychain, and boy is it handy for those nights you forget to leave the porch lights on. This See by Chloe Light Up Keychain ($85) is too cute. It's small (only three inches long), convenient, and purple! I think it's time for an upgrade . . .

And Yet Another Closer Look at Fall

Call me an addict, but Fall's accessories will soon dominate your dreams, too.
And Yet Another Closer Look at Fall

Call me an addict, but Fall's accessories will soon dominate your dreams, too. There's so much to see, and buy, but most of it will remain in my dreams. Feast your eyes on decadent hats, personality bags, serious structure, and the pump of the season (by YSL, of course). Don't get too hypnotized by Ralph Lauren's mad hat; there's lots more to dream about.

Trend Alert: Tousled Waves at the Teen Choice Awards

Last night at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles, the overall beauty look on the red carpet was casual chic.

Last night at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles, the overall beauty look on the red carpet was casual chic. Although I'm sure the gals took a long time primping for the big night, they managed to create an effortless, age-appropriate effect.

One of the hottest hair styles of the evening was quintessential summertime sexy beach waves. Creating this carefree hairstyle is easy to achieve with either store-bought or homemade beauty products. What do you think of this look? Is it something you'd like to don for a special event?

Love It or Hate It

Teen Choice Awards: Leighton Meester

We were wondering where the Queen Bee was last night at the Teen Choice Awards — she arrived fashionably late, of course.

We were wondering where the Queen Bee was last night at the Teen Choice Awards — she arrived fashionably late, of course. Gossip Girl Leighton looked regal and elegant in emerald green Lanvin, but it feels a bit too grown up for the event. Her curls are really fun though. Do you love it or hate it?
