What to Wear to a Spring Cocktail Party

I'm not one to turn down a cocktail party in any respect, but when it comes to outdoor fêtes in gorgeous Spring weather, I'm usually the first one on the RSVP list. For such events, it's always advised to break out your other LBD — little bright dress, that is — and hit the scene in style. Now is the time to play with vivid hues, girly, gauzy fabrics, and shorter hemlines. Click through to Read more

Sequins used to come with a cheesy, Vegas connotation, but not anymore. This time, the popular embellishment has been revived to exude a darker, dank feel. Malin Akerman knows what I mean. Her glam rockin' sequins, via an Elise Overland frock, are the epitome of cool. Here's a tip: make sure to accessorize with funky footwear and jewels to downplay the shimmer. Other than that, rock on sister, Read more

Trend Alert: The TTD

My daily routine of perusing Net-A-Porter led me to something so simplistically new: the TTD, also known as the top tunic dress. However, I must give credit to Roland Mouret for this genius idea. The TTD is pretty much three pieces in one: a top when tucked into pants, a tunic paired with leggings, and a dress — rad. When shopping for TTDs, make sure to look for sleek shapes and solid colors Read more

Ashley Tisdale strutted her stuff wearing a mini purple leather sheath dress by Elise Overland. It's simple but far from boring. I like how the star styled her frock with a funky belt, black multistrap wedges, and chain mesh jewels for a youthful, hip vibe. Tell me, do you dig it? Vote on all of my MTV Movie Awards polls here!

Trend Alert: Colored Leather Jackets

90210 cutie Jessica Stroup is looking subtly tough in her baby blue leather jacket. Not to mention this jacket makes her baby blues pop. Gorgeous. You've probably already snatched up a black leather jacket, and if you're craving more buttery leather, shake things up with a colored leather jacket. I recommend sticking to jewel tones — purple, blue, burgundy — or neutrals. Let's face it: when Read more

Heidi Klum took the spotlight more than once during the Emmy Awards in an assortment of fabulous outfits. Her onstage appearances ranged from elegant evening gowns to a (goofy) masculine suit.

Interview With Fashion Designer Elise Overland

On a dreary Fashion Week day, I popped into the Elise Overland Spring presentation. It was an evening function, so glasses were being sipped and — oh look, it's hottie Jamie Burke, blush — Safari-inspired clothes were being modeled.

Fabcon: Taylor Momsen

Say what you will, but I often find myself rooting for underdogs. While most people ga ga over Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf, I saw something more unique in Jenny Humphrey since episode one of Gossip Girl. The same logic applies to them in real life. Ever since the first time we saw the budding beauty of a gang before the premiere of the show back in September, Taylor Momsen's hot Read more
