ID that top: Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson was spotted on her way to Mr. Chow's for dinner. Simpson sported her much loved William Rast short shorts and a lovely red Tucker floral blouse. The singer complimented her top with a red Gucci handbag and Fendi sandals. This is a very sexy and causal look for Simpson and i love the blouse.

ID that dress: 2008 Teen Choice Awards

I'm a bit behind as the Teen Choice Awards were held last week, however, it gave me some time to hunt down some of the dresses that haven't had an id as yet:

Photobucket

Rachel Bilson sans Hayden, looking uber sweet in an asymmetrical Brian Reyes dress from the designer's pre-fall collection. Bilson topped of her gorgeous dress with a pair of Khaki Lanvin Gladiator heels.

Photobucket

I was a bit disappointed to see Meester wearing Lanvin as most celebrities are opting for dresses from the label these days. However the overall effect was very un-lanvin. Meester's bright green dress is from Lanvin's Spring 2008 Collection, she left her hair down in loose curls which was a wise choice as she looks fantastic . The Gossip Girl actress finished her look off with a pair of Jimmy Choo Isis platform slingbacks which you can purchase here.

Photobucket

Blake Lively joined her co-star at the event going short and sexy in a royal purple Tadashi mini dress from the designers Fall 2008 collection. A very simple yet sexy look which works well for Lively as she is beautiful. Blake accessorised with a thick black belt and a pair of classic Christian Louboutin pumps.

Photobucket

Scarlett Johansson's peachy frock is designed by Matthew Williamson. The Vicky Christina Barcelona actress accessorised with a gold necklace and peep toes. This dress would have been enough without the necklace, which i personally did not like. Johansson's dress is available for purchase in gray here.

Photobucket

The host of the even, Miley Cyrus, thankfully dressed her age. Cyrus opted for a sequined mini dress from Moschino Cheap&Chic. The look was laid back with Cyrus accessorising lightly with jewelery and flat boots.

Photobucket

Kristen Bell goes ultra bright in a Jenni Kayne ensemble from the designers Resort collection. I love the neon pink skirt with the nude tank it makes a beautiful contrast. Bell accessorised with nude peep toes, black clutch and beaded necklace.

Photobucket

Sophia Bush also opted for a design from Jenni Kayne's Resort collection, however, the look is completely different to that of Kristen's. I'm actually still undecided on whether or not i like it. Yay or nay anyone?

Photobucket

Uprising star, Jessica Stroup of 90210 was one of my favourites of the event. The simplicity of her D & G bubbled mini dress looked amazing with the gold heels. The bright orange is the wow factor of this outfit. You can purchase Stroup's D&G mini dress here.

Photobucket

Unfortunately, Fergie was a huge disappointment for me. The Etro maxi dress seems so un-fergie as the singer usually opts for sexy and short dresses.

Photobucket

Another Gossip Girl actress, Jessica Szohr also opted for a bright dress. Szohr looks absolutely amazing in this bright coral Alice + Olivia halter dress. I can't get over how well the colour suits her. You can purchase her dress here.

Photobucket

Miley Cyrus replacement, Selma Gomez looked a bit disheveled on the red carpet in her bright blue Mint by Jodi Arnold strapless dress. You'll be glad to know that the young star usually irons her dresses for events like these as the dress is intentionally wrinkled.

ID that dress: Liv Tyler

I recently made a post of Liv Tyler attending the Piaget Hosts The Limelight Paris-New York Collection event in N.Y.C. Tyler opted for a stunning Oscar de la Renta oriental styled cocktail dress for the occasion, which she accessoried with Piaget jewels and black heels. The dress is available for purchase at Saks for $5990. If you want to try out this oriental style for a party or event with a lower budget, I've managed to find a dress online at www.edressme.com as shown below:

One of my favorite movies of all time, The Wizard of Oz will be soon celebrated for its 70th anniversary in 2009. In honor of such a wonderful film, Warner Bros Consumer Products and Crystallized Swarovski Elements have asked some of the top accessory and ready-to-wear designers to design their contemporary vision of the iconic ruby slippers.

According to Fashion Week Daily, designers such as Alberta Ferretti, Betsey Johnson, Gwen Stefani, Christian Louboutin, Diane von Furstenberg, Giuseppe Zanotti, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Moschino, Oscar de la Renta, Roger Vivier and Sergio Rossi will all be creating designs for the collection.

Unfortunately these shoes will not be for sale as they will be auctioned off for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation's Kids. Let's hope there are alot of bids!

ID that dress: Lauren Conrad

Things seem to be going extremely well for The Hills star Lauren Conrad. With her reality show going through with another season and her recent clothing line being a success, Miss Conrad has been asked to design an Emmy Awards dress for the trophy girls who hand out U.S. television’s top honors!

Conrad celebrated the success of her Lauren Conrad Collection label by hosting a party at Christian Audigier, The Nightclub inside Treasure Island Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas on Saturday. Conrad wears a BCBG Max Azria strapless bubble dress...I'm not actually sure what the black lace is as it does not come with dress.

The Dark Horse: Emma Stone

After making her debut in the hilarious comedy Superbad Miss Stone will be soon appearing in The House Bunny, The Rocker and The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. All movies seem extremely promising especially The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past which also stars Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner and Michael Douglas.

Stone does indeed look like a young Lindsay Lohan, however, i am hoping for the best as she has such a fabulous sense of style. What i like about her choices in clothing is that she doesn't try to hard, which most starlets are doing these days.

Will you be following the rolled up jeans trend?

I suppose many have by now have spotted Ms. Katie Holmes dotting around in her latest fashion trend of the rolled up jean. I didn't think much of it as i personally wouldn't roll up my jeans and i didn't think many other celebrities would catch on to this trend, however, i was wrong. Rachel Bilson has also been seen wearing the trend a couple of times now and it got me thinking, will this trend really be a trend?

ID that dress: Lauren Conrad

The reality star was spotted on her way to LA's Smashbox Studios last month looking adorable in a McQ V-neck gingham dress. This is a nice change for Conrad, who usually opts for singlets and full skirts or a piece from Elizabeth & James. I love this refreshing summer look, the white headband adds a nice preppy touch. Lauren acessorised with her much loved Chanel handbag and a pair of T-strap sandals.

ID that top: Nicole Richie

Miss Richie was spotted last month on her way to her usual Traffic School class. Make sure to check out Richie as she stars as a guest actress on an episode of the NBC sitcom Chuck, where we get to see her in a fight scene with Yvonne Strahovski.
Here Richie looks summer cool with her pulled back braided hair and over sized sunnies wearing an Urban Outfitters cami which she acessorises with a large Balenciaga handbag.

ID that dress: Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff was spotted on her way to the nail salon in L.A some time last month. Duff channeled a romantic look in a Yoana Baraschi jeweled swing mini dress. This dress is adorable, i actually think with a pair of killer heels it has potential as a red carpet dress, the jeweled detail is stunning. The singer topped of her look with a pair of yellow coach sandals and a Louis Vuitton handbag.

Straight off the Runway: Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan was spotted having some fun as she helped celebrate gal pal Samantha Ronson’s birthday with a party at a lingerie store in West Hollywood on Thursday. Lindsay looked fresh in a mint green Yigal Azrouel sequin dress from the designers Spring 2008 collection. Lohan topped off her look with a pair of YSL sandals.

Straight off the Runway :The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 Premiere

It has been 2 years since these four lovely actresses have appeared on the screen together.
With the success of the first film, Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera and Amber Tamblyn have reunited for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. All four ladies attended the world premiere of the film at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City last month, and of course all were looking amazing in designer pieces.

Photobucket

From left to right: Blake Lively in Gucci, Alexis Bledel in Mischen, America Ferrera in Brian Reyes and Amber Tamblyn in Fendi.

My pick out of the four would have to be Bledel's hands down. Her outfit is stunning, the dress, the shoes and the pink lip stick with the pulled back hair is perfection!

Straight off the runway: Penelope Cruz

The Elegy actress has been quite busy this month with the anticipation of her latest film to release soon, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which also stars Scarlett Johansson. Cruz has been donning some seriously chic outfits as she promotes the film which is set to release in the U.S on the 15th of August, 2008.

Looking stylish in her dancer-printed Matthew Williamson top and wide-leg jeans on her way for an interview on Good Morning America.

Picture perfect in a black Oscar de la Renta blouse and ikat skirt as she visits The Late Show with David Letterman.

Looking uber chic in a one shouldered LBD also from Oscar de la Renta's 2009 Resort collection.

Photobucket

This Herve Leger dress reminds me a bit of a Versace design. It looks fantastic on Cruz, the colour and the simplicity is executed perfectly.

What was she wearing: Mischa Barton

Mischa Barton was spotted leaving a nightclub in Berlin last month looking ultra cool in a star printed mini dress. When i first saw Mischa in this amazing dress, i assume straight away that it was designer when in truth it was actually a design from Topshop. This is the best i've seen her this year, and she's had some nice choices, especially her Matthew Williamson floor length gown which i was gaga over. Mischa accessorised her Topshop dress with a pair of comfy Marc Jacobs metal studded flats. Both items are currently on sale now!
