Celebrity Style: Emma Roberts
Emma Roberts has blossomed into one sophisticated young lady.
Emma Roberts has blossomed into one sophisticated young lady. She recently strutted the red carpet in Myne's grape belted silk mini dress. But instead of wearing the thin belt that comes with the frock, she shook things up with a thick studded one. It makes the look interesting and age appropriate. Her caged sandals add a layer of sexy severity to the mix. If she continues like this, I hope to see more of the stylish actress soon.

The City Fashion Quiz: Episode Three, "The L Word"
We're merely three episodes deep into The City and it's already got me addicted.
We're merely three episodes deep into The City and it's already got me addicted. Last night, Whitney moved into her new apartment, which she found with the help of Jay. Speaking of the Aussie lover, he and Whitney had a talk about the status of their relationship. I wonder where things will go. On the work front, Whitney attended her first photo shoot and impressed her boss as usual. Olivia tried to assert her opinions about boys and living spaces upon Whitney but wasn't successful. Were you paying attention to the clothes? Let's find out.
Take Geek's Tech Quiz and get all the fashion from last night's episode on CelebStyle!

Fab Ad: Versace Spring '09
Supermodels continue to dominate ads and they show no signs of stopping.
Supermodels continue to dominate ads and they show no signs of stopping. Case in point: Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen are spotlighted in Versace's Spring '09 ad campaign. The two blond beauts are sailing the high seas wearing refreshing black and white frocks, heart-adorned bags, and shiny platforms. My favorite piece is the black heart dress Kate is wearing (left). It's whimsical and doesn't take itself so seriously. What say you about these ads? Did Versace hit the nail on the head or did it miss the mark?
Girls on Film: Diane Kruger, Amica, January
Put Karl Lagerfeld behind the camera and Diane Kruger in front of it, and you have nothing short of spectacular.
Put Karl Lagerfeld behind the camera and Diane Kruger in front of it, and you have nothing short of spectacular. In German magazine Amica's January issue, the actress lives up to the editorial's title, "Lady D." Much like in real life, she portrays a demure character with the help of her chic attire, which includes berets, gowns, lace, and ruffles. But it's her facial expressions which switch things up and reveal her mischievous side. Only Lady D. can attempt to break into a building in a dress and still look ravishing.
Bijules NYC Hair Earrings: Love It or Hate It?
At first glance, the model on the left looks like she's wearing her hair in pigtails, but take a closer look.
At first glance, the model on the left looks like she's wearing her hair in pigtails, but take a closer look. Her pigtails are actually Bijules NYC Hair Earrings ($286). These earrings are made of real human hair and even come with their own comb and box. Kinda freaky if you ask me. Do you love it or hate it?

Style For Style: Tuck, It, In
Many of you are probably already savvy to this one, but just in case, I must spread the knowledge.
Many of you are probably already savvy to this one, but just in case, I must spread the knowledge.
When in extreme weather, or if you're just weather-sensitive as I like to call it, a smart way to bundle up is to simply tuck, it, in. Meaning: Wear long undershirts and tank tops under your sweaters and be sure to tuck them into your pants or skirt. This way the wind chill can't blow up your torso. It's also beneficial to tuck your gloves into your jacket, or buy nice long snuggly gloves for more coverage. Lastly, though scarves are a cute accessory, they're firstly functional so tuck those into your coat rather than having them dangle on the outside. I promise you'll still look cute. All tucked and ready to play in the snow?
