Why Did You Wear That: You Com-Pleat Me

By |November 23rd, 2010|Celebrity Style, Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

I can’t lie, the lovely Ms. Fox inspired this post. I have had a pair of slouchy pleated pants hanging in my closet for a few months now and every time I put them on, I felt a bit more Ellen Degeneres than Megan Fox. After seeing how hot a pair of simple slacks could look, I was inspired to try again.  A slouchy pleated pant is a great alternative to jeans, leggings, and your regular dress/work slacks. Here are some great pleated options for you to try out as well:

Stella McCartney Pleated Cropped Pants, $595

Bird by Juicy Couture Carrot Silhouette Trousers, $328

Myne Tamara Pants, $210

Something Else by Natalie Wood Slouchy Pleat Front Pants, $117

American Apparel Linen High Waist Pleated Pants, $75

Silence and Noise Pleated Ankle Roll Pant, $58

Charlotte Russe Cropped Pleated Slouchy Pants, $29.50

Why Did You Wear That: Celebrity Weekend Style

By |November 22nd, 2010|Celebrity Style|

Woops… I guess that’s the sign of a good weekend. Here’s this week’s top five best dressed ladies off duty… meaning, not a stylist in sight.

  1. Here’s Charlize Theron doing some shopping in NYC, looking totally cute and casual.
  2. Ashlee Simpson Wentz is one hot mama. Sporting a slouchy sweater, leather leggings, and some vintage Chanel earrings, you’d never know she’s popped out a little one.
  3. Kirsten Dunst looks effortlessly chic in her shades, shift, and sweater in Los Angeles.
  4. Megan Fox has paired masculine and feminine with ease. Men’s trousers have never looked so sexy.
  5. Rumer Willis shows you how flats are supposed to be done. She looks very Audrey Hepburn in this simple yet chic outfit.

Good work ladies. You make looking casual seem so easy.

Why Did You Wear That: Christina Aguilera

By |November 19th, 2010|Celebrity Style|

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love Christina Aguilera. I have loved that woman since the moment she popped out of her genie bottle back in 1999! I was Team Christina through and through. She could do no wrong in my book. Not even when she decided to get a bit “dirrty.”

So, it pains me more than you can imagine to have to ask, “What the HELL happened to her?” I know that Xtina has been going through some rough times in her personal life, but didn’t she get the memo? Looking GOOD is the best revenge. And while her love life may be sucking, her career is still on fi-yah. She is set to star in Burlesque and she just got her very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Needless to say, that’s a lot of red carpet appearances. Well, lately, she looks like my dog has been styling her… with his tongue (although that’s an insult to my dog).

How can such a pretty girl let herself look like this? Did Jordan Bratman take all the mirrors with him in the split?

The premiere of Burlesque should have been her time to shine…. however, she looks like a big green head of lettuce. Sad lettuce. She would have been better off pulling from the costume department like Cher.

Ugh. Christina… COME ON! Pull. It. Together.

Let’s just take a stroll down memory lane…

Despite everything, you bet your ass I will be in line to see Burlesque on November 24th.
