Michelle Trachtenberg’s Jewelry Line “Bella Veritas”

Lucky girl!!! Michelle Trachtenberg snagged a huge guest spot on "Gossip Girl," now there's talks of her becoming a regular character on the show! And apparently she's had her own jewelry line since 2006. When I first heard, I thought she was using her GG fame to launch a line, but she's already taken the plunge. Wow, every piece is handmade by her, that's awesome! Right now it's sold out near everywhere, but you can find pieces at Milk and Fred Segal. I get the feeling she won't be able to make them herself for much longer...

Perez Hilton Designs

"On Wednesday, Perez announced plans to introduce a clothing and accessories line, to be sold exclusively at HotTopic.com and in all Hot Topic stores nationwide.
Perez Hilton for Hot Topic will feature women's t-shirts, hoodies, accessories and footwear. Hilton, who's real name is Mario Lavandeira, said the decision to put his name behind a line of clothing and accessories seemed like a natural next step.
"2008 is all about expanding the Perez Brand," the blogger explained. "I talk about clothes all the time on my website. I have a good eye for what's hot and what's not."
The line, which debuts on June 6, will range in price from $1.75 to $46, and will include products like Gossip Gangster Flip Flops, Perezcious Pink and Purple Lip Gloss and P-Nasty Shades–just to name a few."

Notice how I tagged this "celebrities" and not "designers?" Perez, your music taste is ok, but designing for "Goth 'n' Go" will not give you fashion credibility. Maybe I should just be thankful he's going after the tween market and not pretending to be a real designer.

Iman vs Heidi

Iman is the host of Project Runway Canada and seems to think she's better qualified. She was recently quoted saying, "Definitely Heidi and I come from two different places," Iman tells the World Entertainment News Network. "I'm not belittling Heidi Klum, but I have been in fashion much more than she has. Not to toot my own horn, but I have been one of the best runway girls.
"I know clothes, and I know about working hand in hand with designers — I mean, I've worked with Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, John Galliano. Yves St. Laurent — he created a whole collection for me. Tom Ford, Valentino. Versace. Jean Paul Gaultier. Thierry Mugler … I could go on and on."
Oh snap, who do you like better? Even though you've probably seen only one or the other, let's be judge anyway!

Celeb Style: Ruffle Hem Dress

This dress Ashlee Simpson is wearing is unique and really cute, but way out of my price range! Buy at Net-A-Porter for $675.

Celeb Style: Cat Eye Sunglasses

I don't really consider Janice Dickinson a fashion icon worthy of style stalking, but I was really impressed with these shades she's been sporting lately. I was immediately drawn to them as they are not round oversized, aviator or wayfarers. They're classic but it's been so long since I've seen cat eye glasses that they feel all shiny and fresh. I finally found the exact pair she has, they're the Tom Ford Anouk shades which you can find at Bloomingdale's for $300. They're already sold out at eLuxury, so I don't recommend waiting around too long!

Auf Wiedersehen Nina Garcia?

Word on the streets is that Nina Garcia and Elle Magazine have parted ways! Anyone else know more??? Would she still be on Project Runway?

Save The Seals Tee

Oh no, the Canadian seal hunt started today. I know many of you hate thinking about sad things like that, I certainly do, but ignoring a problem usually doesn't help it. Help make a difference but buying this unisex tee designed by Nigel Barker as the Humane Society for $24.

Celebrity Labels

I'm so insanely sick of hearing about potential celebrity clothing labels and collections!! Though I suppose if I ever got famous, I'd want to cash in too, right??

Latest Gossip Girl Set Shots

Yay, I'm so excited Michelle Trachtenberg is going to be on "Gossip Girl!" Here are some pictures from the set, I guess both leggings and leather pants are remaining in style until at least April!
Ugh, Wenn made me take down the pictures even though they were covered in watermarks - how stupid is that? Don't they know that the Internet has no laws?? It's the wild west out here!
So here's a new one! I heart those shoes in the second shot but I think they're Gucci and I could never afford them :( And are Serena and Georgia sharing those latex / leather leggings??

Will Cashmere Mafia Be Renewed???

The NY Post is reporting that "Cashmere Mafia" won't be picked back up again. ABC is saying there's been no decision yet, so everyone download episodes from iTunes... are they even available on iTunes? Yes "Lipstick Jungle" has more viewers and is better, but "Cashmere Mafia" isn't bad! Plus they have the fun wacky outfits that are at least inspiring. "Lipstick" has beautiful wardrobe pieces but I don't even notice them most of the time. With exception of everything Victory wears... I think I will become a Lindsay Price style stalker! I digress, I want to be able to watch both of these shows, don't cancel either!!

Paris' New Best Friend

So I think I would be great since I wouldn't kiss ass. Maybe she needs someone brutally honest in her life! Vote for me and I will heart you forever and ever!

Jenny McCarthy's Sailor Look

Jenny McCarthy recently wore this outfit to the "Horton Hears A Who" premiere. It's a cute little sailor look, with both pieces by Pink Tartan and available at Nordstrom. Pre-order the stripe top for $195 and buy the sailor pants now for $325.

eBay Sex in the City Auction

I have a busy day ahead of me, so I'm not sure how often I'll be able to post!

I wanna go to the Sex in the City Premiere!!! Sigh, it's already up to $555 and it has nine days left in the auction!

Oxfam Ambassador Kristin Davis, star of Emmy award winning HBO television show Sex and the City, has been supporting Oxfam since the South East Asia tsunami in December 2004. Most recently she met with women’s groups and community-based organizations whose work focuses on the response to the HIV epidemic. Now you can take part in this special experience with Kristin and support a great cause!

The winning bidder will receive:

* Two tickets to the world premiere of Sex and the City in New York City on May 27, 2008.

* On camera meet and greet with Kristin Davis at the premiere

* Chauffeured car service to the premiere

* Hair and makeup for one person by Privé

* A pair of Jimmy Choo "Felix" shoes in your size. Size range: 35.5-40.5 (US 5.5-10.5)

Paisley Shift Dress

This 3.1 Phillip Lim frock was recently spotted on Kate Hudson. We learned before that a shift is loose, and has a slightly boxy shape, so it would look best on slender girls with small chests, just like Kate here. Pre-order at Blaec for $625.

Tolani Myst Scarf

Tolani scarves have graced the necks of Jessica Alba, Mary Kate Olsen, and Lindsay Lohan. I like this one especially since it makes me think of Spring. Buy at Luv Charlie for $85.

Marc Jacobs Hillary Tee

It appears Marc Jacobs is supporting Hillary Clinton, as these tees are available in-store at his boutiques. The cost $38 and proceeds do go to her campaign. I found some on eBay if you like communists. Ha, I kid, I kid! I'm voting for Kodos, personally.*


*Kang and Kodos are normally villainous and in their appearance they antagonize the Simpson family and the human race. They have invaded the Earth on several occasions, with varying results. On one occasion, they impersonated Bill Clinton and Bob Dole and ran against each other in the 1996 election. The American people first declared that they would fight back by voting for a third party candidate, but Kang managed to convince them that doing so would be a waste of a vote and he was elected president.

Lick My Bean Agness Deyn!

Agness Deyn is the hottest thing since Gemma Ward, but I am already completely sick of her. Now she's on the cover of Time Magazine's Style & Design issue... ugh! Maybe it's because I've been following the shows and she's been in pretty much every major one. Let's all band together and make Chanel Iman the new poster child for the fashion generation!
I do agree though, luxury good are no longer for women 30 and up. Tons of 20 somethings are going shopping for designer clothes , I know my closet would be the envy of what used to be the average girl. Are we richer or just more spoiled?

Krysten Ritter's Buckle Boots

Adorable Krysten Ritter has been wearing these amazing buckled boots lately and I've really wanted to know where she got them. Well, Thanks to Who What Wear Daily, I've learned they're Fiorentini + Baker boots that you can get at Barney's for $485. A little pricey, but totally amazing!

Confessions of a Shopoholic Movie

I'm sure many of you have read the Shopoholic series by Sophia Kinsella, or at least the first one. Love or hate the main character (how can someone be so consistently naive?!?!), the books are cute and strangely addictive to read. So I'm guessing many of you will rejoice to hear that they are now making a movie of "Confessions of a Shopoholic." I thought it was still in development, but apparently it's currently filming and here's a shot of Isla Fisher, who is playing Becky. She looks great (are those shoes from Asos? I adore that coat!), though I have a few issues with the movie. First, Isla is great and all but why not cast a British actress? Emily Blunt comes to mind first, she'd be genius! Speaking of British, they're relocating the setting to NY, WTEFF?? So I guess accents are a moot point. Krysten Ritter is playing Suze (shes so beautiful) and I think Hugh Dancy is playing Luke... I more imagined Clive Owen. If I find more pictures I'll be sure to put them up for you!

Miss Jay at NYC Fashion Week

Guess who I saw up-close? Miss J from America’s Next Top Model!!! Miss J was walking and talking to some guy and they ended up standing three feet away from me! I was too dumbfounded to say anything and I think I just kept staring at them. After they walked away I thought “Damn, I really should’ve asked for a picture”. Later I saw Miss J at an interview inside the tent so I snapped some pics there. Miss J was wearing a royal blue velvet blazer with blue trousers.
