Gilt.com is single handedly going to ruin retail. At this sample sale price i would spring for one of these 2 Marc Jacobs dresses myself. $168. Great price-tons of flexibility=Style strategy.Styling in today's times means looking for pieces that have optimum flexibility. A dress is never just a dress. Always dressing for the smallest points of your body can actually look dated.. Check out LIsa

Angie, Angie when will all those clouds all disappear? Angie, Angie where will it lead us from here? With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats. How bout your handbag? Any money there? Mick Jagger and Keith Richards penned the famous Angie- well more Keith- Mick sings and we still croon "Angie" today. The plight of a love affair about to end. Sounds like the American dream.

The NY Times just published an article that really got me riled. On a trek with 3 fashion stylists to find chic pieces for women over 40. This article is written with such ageist generalities. But that's a whole nother post. As the article goes on to say-while the days of $20,000 Hermes bags are slowing down, a metallic leaf Marc Jacobs patterned coat for $2100 is a good buy. I'm sorry a silk

Just Cavalli is giving it away over at Ideeli.com This dress originally retailed for over $500 but is now on sample sale (you know the new term for retail) for $190.

Hey you guys! Speidi got hitched for reals over the weekend. Huh? Aren't they having problems on their MTV reality show The Hills? Whatevs!! Heidi and Spencer are now officially married. Blah Blah Blah. BUT in typical media alert fashion, Speidi turned their wedding into a press product placement ad. Milk it Speidi. Marriage kills press.Heidi Montag wore a $19.000 Monique L'huillier wedding gown.

Have you heard about the new dating show 'More To Love" by the creator of The Bachelor? About time right? My latest client introduced herself by saying " I'm a size 18, I weigh 230 pounds and oh yeah, I'm a man magnet". WoW, right?Oh, if only my thinner than they think clients would adopt her attitude.

I know you don't have this model's body. Either do I. One thing's certain, It's HOTTER than a pug panting for a popsicle. I ALWAYS find Vitamin A bikinis ridiculously on sale. These suits are insanely high styled in the most simple way.Today at Hautelook.com, $31.83 for a bikini? You can't have dinner and drinks for that price. So why not get 2 new swimsuits for the price of 1. Your swimsuit

Who says Vegan's aren't HOT? Matt and Nat have my vegan vote for the sexiest handbags at super sexy sample sale pricing. Move over Stella Mccartney, going vegan doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.

I just had a conversation with a client yesterday and today's post is the solution. Yippee LOVE when the fashion Gods hear me.Hoops are fine but after a certain age, it's time to move on from the classic flat styling. If you're 35 and under than your simple hoop is lovely. If you're getting on from your younger days consider wearing a hoop with other elements involved.Choose a hammered hoop that

I would have figured you would have snapped em all before we West Coaster's had a chance to get our first soy latte.The recession must be having it's way .

Great question. When it comes to denim, I do not believe the more expensive my pocket the better my bum looks, you shouldn't either. I'm a HUGE fan of Forever 21's denim. With f21's favorite price point of $19.80, $22.80 or $24.80, You could buy 5 pairs at Forever 21 and still not equal one pair of Citizen's or Seven's at full price.

Yippee for VB. Sometimes all you need is a break-up to change your life. Valerie Bertinelli has every right to be chinning and grinning it. VB looks better than she did when she was younger. In fact, at 42 myself, I bet she's even happier.There is no rule that a women has to get old. Old is in YOUR mind. Are you wishing those lbs. would melt away? Then ask yourself why they aren't.Are you stuck

Are you looking for a little peace of mind? Then scroll on over to http://www.ideeli.com. Carla Mancini has designed a lightweight slightly distressed soft leather tote that I think is just what's needed in these times of change.

Did your momma tell you not to mix your metals? Only wear silver with silver and gold with gold? Ok, she was right when she taught you how to get dressed a VERY long time ago.Mixing your metals is what you wanna do NOW. Since the past doesn't exist. You know that quantum physics thing.

Have you heard the news report? Dark denim is dead? or rather OUT. So sad isn't it? You just got used to your dark skinnies now the word on the fashion front is-washed out skinnies. Ok, don't cry. Ernest Sewn one of the hottest denim brands STILL is on sale at Hautelook.com. Half price for only $87 bucks which won't make you too sad. In fact you'll be right on time for Spring.

There are some really bright lights in LA Fashion but without cool sites like Shopflick, you would never know. If you read me regularly, you know I BARELY talk about clothing.

Don't worry just cuz you don't have any extra money. In fact, doesn't the age old cliche hold true? "Necessity is the mother of invention" so whatcha waiting for? Orange is going to be HOT HOT HOT this Spring/Summer. Instead of moping that you can't swing for an H & M sundress, do something original. Dye for the trends instead of buying for the trends. Isn't that clever? Well here's how you can

Yep, I love me some one arm dressing . I'm officially retiring the one arm silhouette. Enter my new favorite for Spring/Summer. The off the shoulder top. Always in style and never a trend. But, why oh why do I wax on about your shoulder and your arm? Or rather why do I repeat myself constantly?

The right handbag means confidence, power and the glue for a great outfit. Have you noticed how the Olsen twins as tiny as they are, wear the biggest handbags possible? Not only do they wear the big bag, they know how to hold their bag,.Sublminally sending the signal "don't mess with me." I want you to send the same signals at a fraction of the price.

I don't know about you but this year's Oscar fashions looked more like a wedding convention than red carpet Hollywood glamour. I couldn't figure out who was the bride and who were her bridesmaid's. Usual style stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman sadly didn't deliver. Making matters worse, designer John Galliano for Frida Pinto, Prade for Jessica Beil and Rodarte for Reese

Wow! Check out Dolce & Gabbana's canvas satchel with leather drawstring closure and gold tone hardware. Originally $1,710 on sample sale price for $492. Now, that's my kind of bag. Seeing the luxury brands at a fraction of the price really devalues their branding and marketing efforts for SO called luxury. Let their loss be your gain. You know my theory. Buy high end designer low and sell fast.

Bristish Vogue.com and sister site Style.com are raving about Pierre Hardy's collabo with the Gap. I love the French shoe designers and Pierre Hardy is one of the best. Not a huge fan of mass-tige partnerships and definitely not a fan of the Gap but this season's strappy wood platform is right on the money, under a hundy to be exact.

Amazing to think blogs are buzzing and the press are talking about Angelina Jolie wearing her dress backwards to this year's Sag Awards. I ask the question. What is backwards? Clothing is meant to be explored and individualized. Tags are signals from the designer on how to wear their garment, but so are care labels telling you to dry clean only. Most items don't even need to be dry cleaned, the

Ashlee Simpson is completely right, we just swore in Barack Obama, hope is blazing universally. Are we really going to launch an attack on Jessica Simpson's weight? JS is not guilty of putting on weight whatsoever but perhaps wearing a fashion trend that is not appropriate for a curvy girl like herself.

Just 3 days after closing her legendary Sunset boutique, Tracey Ross was in studio with me and special co-host/retailer as well, Darren Gold. I am so impressed with Tracey, she was a pioneer in how she led the way for small boutique retailing. Unfortunately a symptom of our sickly economy, Tracey could not withstand the over 70% off markdowns by the larger retailers. Tracey really lets it all

Arguably Angelina Jolie is the most beautiful women in the world. But that doesn't mean she wears clothing well. Angelina looks visibly uncomfortable each and every red carpet event.

Marisa Tomei is F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S in Donna Karan. The best part is you can see that Marisa knows it? Look at her red carpet ready stance? Look at the way that fantastic red strapless dress fits her body? Do you see the imbalance-balance in the skirt portion of the dress. The eye goes right from her tiny waist to the uneven corner of the hem length, but the strapless corset portion is clean and

Here is Jessica Stroup of the resurrected 90210 dressed in appropriately resurrected 80'/90's iconic designer Herve Leger. I love the dress, it has a perfect sense of imbalance balance which I write about often. The body geometry of the asymetrical straps and the column 80's body is fun for Jessica's petite shape, The flower on her hip ties in the whole look. This red carpet look could have been

Oh the power of giving. Especially to a child in real need. So You Think You Have Nothing To Wear is more than a reality for the children in Ethiopia. Toms Shoes founder Blake Mycosky, a visionary pioneer in his one for one mission took on the big time goal of 30,000 shoes in 30 days this past December. In typical Toms style, they squashed their goal of 30,000 shoes by 7,000 pairs. All thanks to

So You Think You Have Nothing To Wear is dedicated to helping you find your own point of view. Allowing you to create a sense of style all your own with the budget you have. If it isn't on sale, it isn't on you is a mantra I want you to adopt when shopping in your favorite boutiques or cruising online. You must also adopt a NO multiple rule. When buying on sale, buying THREE of the same item in

When it comes to handbags and clutehes, a girl can never have 2 many options. I will constantly be hitting you with handbag posts. Jennifer Lopez the queen of options put Katherine Kwei on the map with her jury duty paparazzi shots a few season's back.

I always like to say I am not hugging trees, but there are shades of green in everything I do. i am thrilled to report on these Enviorosax reusable grocery bags. Each bag holds the equivalent of 2 supermarket plastic bags. Have you checked the monochromatic, mod styling?

Oh Marc Jacobs, coveted by all, why I am not so sure. I mean, MJ is fantastic at taking from the past. Since I am a flea market aficionado it is easy to see MJ's influences for far far less at the flea. I get it, not everyone wants to scour for deals or wear someone else's shoes. So, I post today for all the MJ fans, while you are simply purchasing exact replicas from the past, you love it, so I

As you get to know my taste, you will see running themes that I like to talk about. One of them is skin tone shoes. There is nothing more slimming for your ankle and your legs as a skin tone shoe. It offers your legs a longer, more seamless appearance. This Marc Jacobs open toe high mule is a great choice especially with the lower than 3' heel height. Most of my clients cringe at high heels but

What happens when you take a winning formula and duplicate it exactly? As an ex-modeling agent, I know firsthand how images are created, but charisma and personality can not be manipulated. MTV's trailer for the spin off show, The City are aspirational, fashioniable and promote a model like elevation of main character, Whitney Port.

Here is Kelly Ripa on the OMG worst dressed list for 2008. As I post about Madonna below, this dress is fun, but ironically, both celebs should have switched their furry frocks with one another. Kelly Ripa has very slim legs that don't have the depth of muscle that Madonna' do. I would have put Kelly in the grassy number which would have suited Kelly's petite body much better and put Madonna in

Madonna was just listed in this outfit on OMG as one of the worst dressed outfits for 2008. While Janet Jackson, Solange deserve their honors, Madonna's outfit is an example of bad styling. I actually think the dress is fun and flirty and a style departure even for the most reinvented master, Madonna herself. What should have been considered when accessorizing this grassy number. I always say,

You have heard of leg warmers, how about a neck warmer. Making its way into our vocabulary this season, this Felix Ray little number with a bow, is exactly what you need to top off any outfit. I always talk about scarves as toppers. An outfit goes to the next level with the extra beats, if you run warm in turtlenecks, try a neck warmer instead.

Style is all in the accents. Accessories build up any outfit from simple to smashing. I always say- fine isn't good- good isn't great. One extra moment in an outfit can take you from good to great.

I like this little french ruffle shirt with petite buttons from Paul and Joe's sister collection. It breathes on the body which makes it a great component piece for your tighter bottoms. The buttons and slight ruffles ask your viewer to look up towards your face while the looseness of the top allow you to relax your tummy.Style tip-when buying tops that are boxier, look at them as your canvas.

Vera Wang's Lavender label halter, tulle, v neck dress. I love this dress and let me tell you why, any time you have a sheer over lay such as tulle it allows the eye to frame your body. Styling is all about pulling the viewers eye where you want them to look. I am not crazy about the little hanging down piece of tulle, even Vera can have her costumy moments, but at 60 percent off and $180 dollars

Vera Wang Lavender label is hooking it up over at Hautelook.com My first pick is the beautiful, bohemian, diaphonous strapless, organza plum gown with pockets.
