The Look For Less: Celestina Ikat Clutch
Like the rest of the world, I'm a big fan of ikat. What's not to love about this exotic, eco-friendly tribal print? I can see myself pairing this rad Celestina Ikat Clutch ($364, originally $910) with a sexy LBD and heels, but the sale price is still too rich for my blood.
Who Wore It Better? Ikat Myne Skirt
Two bohemian style setters and one Myne ikat skirt. Night and day. Rachel earned much praise for her festive look while barhopping last week, and Kate played volleyball and hung out beachside in hers.
Ikat Extraordinaire
The funny word ikat has been floating around fashion for some time now. The trend is hovering because it has powers — powers deeply rooted in the histories of Central Asia, South America, and beyond. From the runways of Oscar de la Renta and Roberto Cavalli to the celeb-filled sidewalks of LA and New York, ikat appeals to many a stylephile.
Celebrity Style: Rachel Bilson
The debut of her collection with DKNY jeans, Edie Rose, is near so it would be very wise for Rachel to up the style factor while out and about. Done and done. Rachel was enjoying some bar time with friends at the Crown Bar looking every bit Bilson.
Celebrity Style: Hana Soukupova
Czech model Hana Soukupova showed her pretty face at Radar Entertainments fashion division launch party. But what I'm more captivated by is her cool black-and-white outfit, complete with a sheer scarf and black leather boots. The tuxedo tank brings in an androgynous air, while her black mini dress shows off her feminine stems.

Ikat
Ancient and unusual process of resist printing. Warp yarns on a loom are covered with a resist material such as wax or clay, in areas of the design that the weaver does not desire the dye to absorb. The warp yarns are then dyed, the resist is removed, and the filling yarns are woven in.

Celebrity Style: Kristen Bell
What I find appealing about Kristen is that she looks equally good in girlie dresses as she does in baggy khakis — that's no easy fashion feat. The actress attended the Armani Exchange watch launch party last night in a borrowed-from-the-boys ensemble that consists of a loose Ikat Phillip Lim top and rolled up baggy khakis. Doesn't she pull this off effortlessly?
Oscar de la Renta Worries, but Wants to Help Keep Tahoe Blue
De la fabulous. I was for real when I said I was heading to Lake Tahoe for Oscar de la Renta's annual fashion show luncheon. Along with Saks Fifth Avenue, and held at the gorgeous Fritz family estate in Sunnyside, the event was like no other.
