Designer and style star Nicole Richie jetted off to Paris to take in some runway shows this week, and was snapped backstage at Givenchy working this supersexy, futuristic look. She wore a skintight black leather high-neck dress by the designer, with Christian Louboutin python-print pumps — and surprisingly went sans accessories, opting only for a chic black clutch. The normally bohemian-cool Nicole has been experimenting with sleek, ultraglam looks lately, and I love to see her switch it up. Ready to steam things up?

2011 Golden Globe Awards Inspired Style: Sexy Back
Just because we won't be taking a stroll down the red carpet any time soon doesn't mean that we can't learn something from the ladies who did last night. Three of our best dressed — Anne Hathaway, Claire Danes, and Eva Longoria — inspired me to bring sexy back (literally) in my own wardrobe with their gorgeous, peekaboo, open-back gowns. Now, I'm eying the same sultry style on minidresses and tops, perfect for my own night out — sans red carpet. Click on my picks above to shop!
Trend Alert: Resort Brights
This time of year is all about getting the best of both worlds. You've got holiday cheer — and the cozy clothes that go with it, but there's always the promise of escape — and a fresh wardrobe — via resort collections. Kate Mara is a pretty example of how to play with resort brights. Rather than the expected LBD or even a jewel tone, she goes light and bright in a sweet turquoise sheath. If you're tempted to do the same, embrace the call to resort wear with neon brights, salmon-hued minis, and pretty sea tones — then book your warm-weather getaway to complete the look!
I Want This Wardrobe: Victory Ford, Lipstick Jungle
Victory is usually bubbly and smiley, but you know she's down to business here. Down to business looking adorably monochrome. The long cardigan belted over a ruffled dress is a brilliant transitional outfit — both seasonally and from day to night. And hues of blues always feel right. This season's gray bootie is a modern shoe match, and moody jewels lend sultry sparkle.

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Mother's Day Brunch
Last Sunday, mom and I spent some good old quality time together. We enjoyed a nice outdoor brunch and I wanted my look to get her motherly stamp of approval. I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!
I started you off with a pair of Chloe Filao Sunglasses ($330) because I love the purple and black combo and they'd keep the sun out of my eyes while I enjoyed brunch with mommie. Let's see what you all came up with!
Look #1, created by daddio49 had me all ruffled up, but in a good way. The contrast between the bright blue dress and neutral pink shoes is Fab and mommie approved.

Trend Alert: Black Eyelet
Eyelets have taken on a new color — black. The traditional eyelet has been associated with Raggedy Anne dowdiness and hot Summer days but has since gone way of the dark side; evoking a sexier, mature look. See Victoria Beckham wearing a flirty, black eyelet Milly dress. Sidenote: Milly, really? Cool Posh.
Trend Alert: Peek-a-Boo You
I have a tendency to seriously cover up when the weather is gelid. In an effort to let our skin breathe, I say peek-a-boo you. Spring will be all about sensuality so get a jumpstart with some sexy cut outs, sheer fabrics and keyhole necklines. I know it's cold outside, but don't we always want to look hot?

Celebrity Style: Rachel Bilson
Rachel B. is looking cute as usual in this casual outfit. Although her pants could fit her a bit better, ie. an ideal floor-skimming length, her signature layering complements her sweet style. I want to preface this by saying, no, I did not find her exact green wedges but once you see the price tag for her handbag you'll appreciate the price of the alternative green pumps I found!
