This genius dress here is by Tiana B. and it comes it’s priced just right at $32.99. Hello?! Can you say perfect? The color is so pretty as well as the cut of the dress.

It’s just right to stay as modern and professional as the Miranda.

Those booties are back! I remember these Isabel Marant boots on Sienna Miller last year…and I haven’t stopped thinking about them. I love the cuff, the style — the flat studs and the fact that she kept wearing them over and over again. Makes you feel good when you’re basically doing the same thing (but by neccessity!)
This year, I’m still loving flat, shiny studs and I’m happy to announce I found the look again at Forever 21. There are certain trends that I miss out on and then I hate myself for like a year and always moan and whine about not buying something I really wanted. Sensing my frustration and the fact that I can actually wear something a season later without feeling like everyone’s laughing at me, Forever 21 delivered the goods. And they are back! Pair ‘em with leggings, tights, jeggings, even a pretty printed floral dress in a bold bright color, like the one Sienna wore on her BET appearance.
I love when Forever 21 hits the nail on the head. They find a way to make something feel super modern and extremely cool. These are $32.80, which is exactly what I would want to spend on them. Sienna’s original Isabel Marant boots were immediate sell outs and totally gone never to be seen again (maybe on Ebay?) I think this rock-n-roll concept/style will never die, so as long as Forever 21 feels the same way, everything will be alright. Rock on!
Richards gave it the daytime treatment with nude sandals and Bailon added an evening clutch! Mostly, I love the PRICE! $168! You can also carry this into fall, as hot pink is the big seller. Add black opaque or sexy sheer tights, black gladiator heels and a blazer and you’ve definitely got it all going without breaking the bank. Purchase Info: Buy it here.
Check out some of your favorite stars wearing cocktail dresses!
Sometimes you need the perfect 24/7 summer dress that works for all occasions: weddings, cocktails, date night, brunch, tea parties, bachelorette parties and everything else. I think we found it! And it’s a celebrity HIT. With its sweetheart neckline, oversized waist bow and mini-dress fit, this figure flattering silhouette is perfect. Denise Richards and Adrienne Bailon both wore this French Connection Flash cotton dress!

Bravo, Zoe!
And once you’re done buying these, check out some other looks Zoe created, such as her amazing faux-fur vests and her beautiful oversized sequined clutches that can work for day with its chain strap and easily transitions for cocktail hour.
These $34 swoon-worthy sunglasses are basically modeled after all the vintage eyewear that she used to style on her girls — including Nicole Richie as well as herself.
I have to say, I had been waiting for something like this from stylist-to-the-stars Rachel Zoe for a long time.
Her QVC line has delivered these amazingly affordable, oversized plastic sunglasses to keep the sunshine out of your eyes and to keep the paparazzi going crazy wondering who you are. I love the scale, the size and the gradient lens that makes you appear like a VIP. The cut of the frame is so good, in fact, that it works on most face shapes. They come in gradient black, brown, purple and red.

From West Coast to West Wing: The annual event is just an excuse to sample the capitals’ best new hotels, shops, restaurants and theaters.
This story originally appeared in the May 4 issue of The Hollywood Reporter.
“Embellishment was extraordinarily intimidating,” says New York-based designer Rachel Antonoff, whose namesake label, sold at retailers like Barneys and Steven Alan, has for several seasons skewed more cute than glam. (”I design for myself in my daydreams,” she jokes, “so it’s me—but a little bit taller.”) But she took a new step in a more elevated direction for Fall when, on the recommendation of friend and fellow designer Timo Weiland, she enlisted the help of Milaaya Embroideries, a Mumbai-based fair trade sewing co-op whose client list includes big name designers such as Balmain, Lanvin, Marni, and Givenchy. “I loved all the fabric people in New York, but this was just a really special environment,” says Antonoff, who equates Milaaya’s New York headquarters (they also have offices in Milan and Paris) with “a candy land of embellishment swatches.”
The result is a brightly colored, checkered embroidery that adorns select pieces of Antonoff’s Fall ‘12 collection. Dubbed by the young designer as “the chiclet,” after the gum, the playful pattern of glass beads and cotton threads can be found on chic, collared dresses (the Jack combo dress, pictured) and simple T-shirts with festive sleeves. This foray into embellishment has already garnered “best-selling” potential from a slew of interested buyers, and the designer plans to continue the experiment in seasons to come. That is, if she can overcome her new problem. “Now I have to figure out how to avoid going embellishment crazy,” she says. “It’s like chocolate, once you have a little taste you have to learn how to scale back.”
