The chic, sleek ponytail is back! Thank goodness...for once there is an easy style out there for the days when we need just a little extra sleep! These ponytails are low maintenance. They are a classic and beautiful way to pull off a polished look as well as a great way to secure your hair if you want it off of your face and neck.
Pony's also focus attention to your cheekbones. It's a little trick that expert hairstylists have been using for years to make women look refreshed and awake...sort of like you've just gotten a face lift! Calvin Klein is also an advocate of the ponytail. Here is a look from his Spring show. Check out the rest of my Spring Peeks if you like what you see here.
I know there are mixed feelings out there about baby doll dresses so I thought this Twinkle Peace & Love Baby Doll Print Dress, found by arianell in the Love It or Hate It? group would be interesting to feature. Arianell says she likes the colors but isn't sure about the retro design. I'm the opposite: I like the retro design but not so sure about the colors. What do you all think? Love or hate?
Want to know what the hottest, bestselling shoes are right now? I thought this spread in this week's Life & Style was a colorful, super yummy shoe story. We all know Glam-o-Rama Gal Christina Aguilera loves her Christian Louboutins so check out which other shoes are strutting off the shelves. What I love about this is there is something for every taste so take your pick! I happen to be on a shoe binge right now - I bought three new pairs last weekend. I was happy to see one of them on here: the zebra print ones from Nine West, though I got them in leopard print.
To see the new additions to my shoe family and since you can't see the print here very well, to see what all the shoes shown here are, read more
I was prompted to show you this trend after my Celebrity Style: Nicole Richie this week. As you can see she is wearing clusters of bracelets, or necklaces worn as bracelets, which seem to swallow her frail wrists. I found some other cool fabric infused jewelry I thought you'd enjoy. Unlike Nicole's style, I would wear these one at a time, to show off their uniqueness. Some are necklaces which double as wraparound bracelets and some are simple bracelets with a cool contrast of soft fabrics with hard metals. These are for those gals who like charm jewelry with an edge. Enjoy!

I. Ronni Kappos Multi-Charm Bracelet, $100. A rich array of rainbow toned vintage glass bead charms dangle from a rich brown silk thread bracelet.

Dominatrices and Matrix fans will be drawn to this dramatic, patent leather black trench. This classic fabric and classic clothing item has been reinvented to create something very modern, if not, futuristic. I love patent leather on shoes and bags, but a big dose of it, like this Lanvin Patent Leather Trench Coat, $2,870, from their Spring 2007 runway, is not for the faint of heart. I love it as a showpiece, but it's a tad too much for me. Lucky for the rest of us, I have found a Look for Less for this daring Lanvin trench.
Singer and actress Selena Gomez posed for pictures at the 2009 American Music Awards with a pretty pink smile on her face. She took advantage of the occasion and went glam; wearing a Talbot Runhof sequin dress with black strappy heels.
