Alexander Wang at ShopStyle

Kristin Cavallari wore a cool Alexander Wang dress on her date with Justin Bobby on The Hills last night. I was totally crushing . . . on the dress, silly! I found the top version, this Alexander Wang Silk Tank ($104, originally $265) for less than half off. Gotta love Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale. Doesn't the print remind you of Tetris?

Trend Alert: Glorious Gray Clutches

Yes, Kate Beckinsale and hubby Len Wiseman are a handsome couple, but so are the star and her glorious gray clutch.

Yes, Kate Beckinsale and hubby Len Wiseman are a handsome couple, but so are the star and her glorious gray clutch. This neutral hue gives off a casual yet refined vibe without taking the spotlight away from an outfit. I love wearing my gray clutch with bright ensembles for extra contrast, but it also works with lighter tones. Just look at Kate for inspiration: her clutch plays the perfect supporting role to her silver J.Mendel dress — simply dazzling.

Fab Site: Rent the Runway

The words "rent the runway" are music to my ears.

The words "rent the runway" are music to my ears. It's the ideal situation for a gal on a budget — falling in love with a catwalk look, borrowing it for a day, then returning it to its rightful owner. Now I can do that with Rent the Runway. Dying to begin? First sign up to be added to the wait list. Once you're in, peruse its A-list selection (Proenza Schouler, Matthew Williamson, Yigal Azrouel), get the dress in two different sizes, wear it, keep it for four or eight days, and send it back in a prepaid package without dry cleaning it. Trust me, there's some good stuff in there, and the prices don't sting ($50 to $200). Perfect for that holiday wedding or office party!
