Get the "SATC 2" Look

Posted by babu 10:38am GMT

Whether you're attempting to recreate one of Carrie Bradshaw's signature styles, or are simply looking for a way to show off your "SATC" pride, brands like Payless and Bakers have you covered.

Some of my favorite "SATC 2"–inspired finds thus far include the Patricia Field for Payless clover necklace, which was modeled after that worn by Sarah Jessica Parker throughout the film. While the original (created by French designer Chahan Minassian) retails for $20,000, fans can score the adorable replica at Payless stores nationwide for a mere $12.99.

Also high up on my list of "SATC 2" swag is the H by Halston collection for Bakers, which features the "Stella" clutch, $49, and "Stella" shoe, $79.95, in various shades. My favorite shades (as pictured) are the Multi Glitter (for the shoe) and Lamé (for the clutch).

And, as usual, the HBO Shop in NYC has no shortage of fabulous fan fare, from film and character tanks and tees, ranging from $25-$40, to logo scarves, $39.99.

I’m Obsessed With: Katharine McPhee’s Cool Weekend Wear

Posted by babu 5:19pm GMT

While I was never too crazy about Katharine McPhee’s new platinum ‘do, I never wavered on loving her perfect red carpet style. And just yesterday, I was swooning over the cool casual outfit she put together to promote her new cd.

Her look was so effortless and made up of pieces that most of us already own (or items that are on our Fall Fashion Shopping List), like a black tunic; dark solid leggings; versatile work-to-weekend boots; a moto jacket and a cool carry all (hers is a $1900 about YSL “Muse” bag”). I also love how her styling –especially her hair – mimics the retro vibe of her cd cover!

I’m Obsessed With: Zoe Saldana’s Perfect Casual Date Look

Posted by babu 1:19pm GMT

Could a single outfit possibly overtake my infamous Kate Moss style obsession? Answer: Yes! Especially when it is an oh-so-Kate-Moss look worn by the equally chic “Avatar” star Zoe Saldana.

For a visit to “The Late Show with David Letterman” in NYC yesterday, Saldana went for a sexy but sassy ensemble in white pants, grey tunic and a sharp, well-cut (and versatile) cropped navy blazer. While the overall look is classic, the leather-like pants up the chic (and cool) factor 10-fold!

I’m Obsessed With: Roland Mouret’s Curve-Highlighting Designs

Posted by babu 3:59pm GMT

Designer Roland Mouret first burst on the red carpet scene when curvy star Scarlett Johansson and also stick thin Victoria Beckham both wore his dresses a few years back and looked spectacular.

Since then, Mr. Mouret has continued to create his trademark dresses that take advantage of a woman’s every curve or, magically, create curves where none seem to exist.

His figure-flattering plum dress was the perfect choice for a curvier Heidi Klum (who had her baby girl on October 9) for a party for the designer last night at the Chateau Marmont in LA.

Even petite star Zoe Saldana stood out at the “Avatar” premier with an out-of-this-world hourglass shape helped along by one of his dramatic dresses. While Cameron Diaz rocked the red carpet in a midnight knee-length number back in November.

I’m Obsessed With: Sarah Jessica Parker's Pink Premiere

Posted by babu 12:54pm GMT

Pink dresses (as we reported a few days ago) are the new stars of the red carpet, but leave it to true trendsetter Sarah Jessica Parker to take fuchsia fashion, at the premiere of her film "What About The Morgans" last night, to a new level. With her funky fedora, stellar satin stilettos and charming vintage-style snake choker, "SJP" could easily stand for "Stylish-and-Jaunty-in-Pink."

There is just so much style packed into SJP's outfit, it deserves a serious head-to-toe review:

- THAT hat! Pink to match the dress and destined to be the next "Carrie" necklace that was spotted on SJP style followers years back.

- SJP wears whimsical flowers on her lapel, which reminds us of our beloved style icon Carrie Bradshaw.

- The stone-inlaid snake necklace is a signature look for Sarah, who often pairs vintage accessories with her designer dresses.

- Her pink L'Wren Scott dress is sweeter than sweet and would be such a great look for any party over the next six months (make sure to get hold of a similar style for Valentine's Day, for sure!)

- The effect of seeing her stunning plum suede platforms can be expressed in just two words: "We die!"

I’m Obsessed With: Katy Perry's Nude Heels

Posted by babu 6:17pm GMT

Remember back in early November when I was encouraging everyone to do like the stars and http://www.mylifetime.com/all-the-looks/all-the-looks-insider-blog/trend... " target="_blank">go nude?

Well, if you weren’t listing then, trust me, this is a fashion investment that you won’t regret.

Not only will these buff beauties, like the pinkish hued sky-high platforms Katy Perry wore last night to the Grammy Nominations event and concert, go with everything in your closet (except running shorts), they lend a bit of polish and sophistication to even the shortest of skirts and tightest of dresses.

I’m Obsessed With: Kelly Osbourne's Sleeveless Moto-Jacket

Posted by babu 5:23pm GMT

Leave to a fashion-forward celeb like Kelly Osbourne to sport the second generation of last winter’s popular leather motorcycle jacket: a sleeveless version.

Her slouchy buttery-soft leather vest has the right combination of street chic and high fashion. And, I love the contrast of the black leather and double-breasted button detail over her simple crisp white tunic tee.

I also can’t resist imaging how amazing the same vest would look over a chunky grey turtle-neck sweater with dark skinnies, making the piece an absolute must-have for winter.

I’m Obsessed With: Lauren Conrad’s Kate Moss-Inspired Look

Posted by babu 10:51pm GMT

Got a black and grey mix-and-match ensemble? Check

Got a mini to show off those model legs and you have perfect beachy blonde highlights? Check and check

Did you throw in a touch of cool laid-back menswear (possibly borrowed from your rock and roll boyfriend) to tame the sexiness of that mini dress? Yes (and it’s a $598 Joie Arietta sequin boyfriend blazer, in case you gotta buy it now)

Congratulations, Lauren Conrad! You are the most recent graduate of the Kate Moss School of Cool. And your blue nails, which lend the outfit a pop of color, just got you extra credit.

Try Tights: Wardobe Update for Under $20

Posted by babu 11:05am GMT

While most of us can't afford the $2500
Christopher Kane dress reality star Whitney Port
(of MTV's "The City") wore to the recent Video Music Awards, we definitely can afford a pair of bright tights for fall that can transform any LBDs in the closet right now.

I love how how designer site
MyTheresa.com paired bright red tights with a Kane dress similar to Port's to completely change the feel of the daring style into something much more wearable for weekends, holiday parties, or even for the office, for those who work in a creative field.

And, make sure to scour discount stores like Marshall's and TJ Maxx for lots of tights, often at 1/2 off.

I’m Obsessed With…Shakira's Lace-Up Boots

Posted by babu 9:55am GMT

I'm over the moon for Shakira's black lace-up platform boots. They also seem to be the singer's go-to fave shoes since she was spotted in them (with jeans) in London on September 26 and again in Madrid (this time with a plaid tunic) on September 28 to promote her new album "La Loba."

These boots, with their comfy platform and trendy peep-toe detail are so deliciously chic but oh-so-wearable too since they work with everything from boy-friend jeans to skinnies to almost any contemporary knee-length dress in your closet if you add tights.

Luckily, a few key words typed into the cool clothes search engine ShopStyle.com yielded lots of look-alikes for Shakira's must-have fall boots.
