LC + LO = BFF's

2008-12-09 by mtvstylista

Last night on the Hills, Lo proved that she's definitely a good friend to LC; she helped her pack!  Moving and packing are two duties that definitely seperate real friends from associates.  Want more proof that they are really BFF's?  Well photos don't lie.  Check them out rocking the same blouse above.  They share the same taste and they share clothes!  I don't know about you, but I really love my clothes.  For me, sharing my wardrobe is a true sign of trust and friendship. 

Do you share your wardrobe with your BFF?  Tell us.

Hey ....Lo!

2008-12-09 by mtvstylista

Lo Bosworth is definitely getting her money's worth out of those patent studded YSL heels.  With these shoes, her legs are definitely made for struttin!  I'm also loving the black high-waisted mini.  Its so versatile.  I have one that I wear all the time because it works perfectly on so many different occasions. 

What article of clothing do you find yourself wearing all the time?

IHMDJ X Styleslut = Baggage

2008-12-04 by mtvstylista

A friend once told me that relationships would be a whole lot easier if everyone had a sign listing what their issues were.  I'm starting to agree with him.  And, while we all know that will never happen, the Baggage necklaces is a start in the right direction.  Creative, cheecky, and bold, I think they're pretty damn funny.  They're also unisex.  I think they're AWESOME!   This collaboration between NY brand IHMDJ (I hate my day job) and London based Styleslut are an artistic statement about honesty, and embracing our flaws.  Celebrate your uniqueness or gift your friend with this limited edition piece; I promise they'll appreciate it.  Baggage is something we all have.  The front of the suitcase shaped piece says, "baggage."  While the back is polished to a mirrored finish and reads, "Because we're all kinda f*cked up in our own special way.  Love IHMDJ & Styleslut"  Think how much fun it would be to gaze at your reflection in the mirrored back and sing, "no one on the corner has swagger like us ."  That's right, M.I.A. is fan and a wearer of the Baggage necklace.  Limited edition, only 100 were made and truly craveable the Baggage necklace has just made our Holiday Shopping Guide .

Stephanie Pratt definitely dresses to get noticed. We took a look at her recent red carpet photos, and had an amazing revelation. She's addicted to animal prints! Really.

#5 Stephanie rocks a leopardl print tunic at the YFB 32 Flavors launch in October.

#4 There's nothing like an leopard print wedge to add a look at me kick to a summer dress.

#3 These water snake print heels elevate her style at the Pink is the New Blog party in June.

#2 Also in October, here's Stephanie in a leopard print jacket.  Looks like Stephanie's not the only one in love with leopard.  Check out Audrina's leopard print cami.

LC & Lo Get the Skinnies

2008-12-01 by mtvstylista

LC and Lo both rocked skinny jeans at the Grand Opening of the Lucky Strike bowling alley at LA Live. Totally in sync both girls chose to pair their skinnies with sky-high heels and cute tops. LC's look is girly-preppy with a multi-color striped V-neck and her favorite Louboutin heels. Lo's look is ultra-girly, paired with a soft-cream blouse and some black patent studded YSL heels, which I can't take my eyes off. While, most celebs have been rocking their YSL Tribute sandals to death Lo is on fashion's cutting edge with these. I love that they also come in a rich raspberry and neutral camel color. While their price tag isn't recessionista friendly,

these Vicious heels have a very similar feel and may do the trick at a quarter of the price.

Rosa Cha Walks On Water

2008-11-08 by mtvstylista

My love affair with Brazil began long before I knew anything Brazilian. Brazilian jazz was part of the soundtrack to my parents get togethers with friends, that I always managed to sneak into post my bedtime.  There is an easy freedom to Brazil which extends to its music, the people, and its bikinis....afterall they invented the Brazilian.  Rosa Cha my favorite bikini designer sent his runway models down a water soaked runway, wearing not just the brands itty bitties.  This time he added airy cover-ups to the mix.  All I have to say is I think I'm in love again.

What A Ride: 08 EMA Awards

2008-11-07 by mtvstylista

2008 European Music Awards host Katy Perry took the audience on quite a ride at tonight's show.  Evidenced by her merry-go-round themed ensemble the audience was in for quite a show.  With ten wardrobe changes, a dazzling show opening performance featuring a humongous cherry chapstick and an entourage of cheerleaders, and an impromptu duet with Perez Hilton; Katy Perry kept the audience on their toes.  Oh if only we all could be so cute, and so fruity...

Check out The 10 Faces of Katy Perry 

1.  We HEART You and the cherry chapstick you rode in on Katy!

.

2. On the red-carpet all eyes were on Katy Perry in this eye-opening strapless sheath from Parisian designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's Fall 2008 runway collection.  Her sparkly cupcake handbag looks good enough to eat.

3 & 4.  Katy kept things fruity riding atop two cherries in a delicious pink multi-hued halter.  Later she appeared on a banana in a rainbow sherbet colored vintage halter, sporting matching banana yellow Christian Louboutin slingback pumps.

5. Rock Jean-Charles de Castelbajac dresses twice in one night? YES KATY CAN!  This time she dons one from his Spring/Summer 2009 runway collection featuring America's new face of hope while performing with Grace Jones.

6. You know she had to rock a signature romper.  There's no mistaking whose romper this is,,,it's got her name on it.

7. In a split decision Katy sports a tuxedo and a dress.  My eyes are on her white Converse hi-tops.

8. Katy looks sweet enough to eat in this ruffled Elie Saab pink cocktail dress.

9. Katy and Pink are quite a pair in strapless dresses.

10. Quite the merry-go-round of fashion

Style Crave: Boyfriend Blazers

2008-11-03 by mtvstylista

I never thought I'd say this, but thank God the temperature has finally dropped in LA. I'm all about sunshine, tank tops and flip flops...but it's almost Thanksgiving and as a fan of the fall I'm dying to wear sweaters, boots, and a jacket or two. When I spotted Kate Bosworth wearing the super cute outfit above it almost drove me into a fashion frenzy. I can't front my palms were itching to grab the credit card marked "do not use" and have some fun grabbing what can only be described as a fashion essential; the boy blazer. There is something sexy about borrowing style items from the boys but wearing them in decidedly feminine ways. Boy blazers are the perfect cover for skinny jeans, short shorts, leggings and minis. Luckily a trip to my closet revealed that I do have a few looser, longer blazers from thrifting, and my addiction to rescuing items from my mom's closet that couldn't possibly look as cool on her as they would on me. Admit it; you've liberated an item or two from your mom's closet. I'm saving up for a great pair of cut-out strappy booties that say Givenchy in look but not in $$ if you know what I mean. So my credit card is resting comfortably in its "do not use" position. But I'm tempted.

How Was Your Halloween?

2008-11-03 by mtvstylista

Halloween is always a bit anti-climatic for me.  After all, I play dress-up every day.  But I do find it quite inspiring when other people push the style envelope to higher heights, with "how did they think of that?" costumes.  Every year, I can count on Heidi Klum to do something crazy and fun.  And once in a while I see someone who makes me wish every party could be a masquerade party.  This year Heidi dressed as the Hindu goddess Kali, the jewelry and the footwear are PFH. 

What did you wear for Halloween?  Post pictures of your costume in your closet and we'll post the best ones here.

For the Halloween looks that made me smile peep below....

  LC makes an adorable flapper in a white fringed dress and feathered headband.  Although her hairstyle is more LC-LA-modern than 20s I think she more than makes up for it with these shoes. 

STUNNING!

Pink who released her new album Funhouse last week was appropiately dressed as a clown.  Both her shoes and her patterned tights make Pink a fashion do!

Christian Siriano as Cruella DeVille HOT TRANNY FIERCENESS indeed!

Rocker chic Audrina Partridge peacocked her way to fabness.  I'm loving the irredescent colorful eye, although I think she should have gone with peacock feather earings as well. And even Little Red Riding Hood Lo Bosworth knows that nude shoes make your legs look longer.  More Hills Halloween costumes here and here .

Want to see even more celebrities and what they wore for Halloween.  Check the video.
