Rachel and all her TV goodness (including Taylor and Brad) will be returning for a 2nd season on Bravo starrting August 25th!!
I’ll be tuning in for every episode to get my fill of her amazing clothes, awe-inspriing jewelry collection and countless Rachel-isms!!
I’ll also be keeping a very close eye on her new “collection” for QVC…my ex-employer is handling all of the production for her handbags so she should be in really good hands.
But I have to say that I’m scared to death about what the powers that be at QVC might do to her vision and ideas. They have a tendency to butcher anything that has real fashion relevance in exchange for higher profit margins so here’s a warning to all of you brilliant QVC execs…
LET RACHEL BE RACHEL! She’s one-of-a-kind so don’t try to mold her into one of your vendor clones or you’ll miss out on one of the only opportunities you’ll ever have to make shopping on QVC acceptable to a consumer who actually knows and appreciates true fashion.
OMG, I can’t wait for the “new” Hills! Kristen Cavalliri plays the villain like no one else’s business and she’s just what this show needs to stay alive. I’ll miss seeing LC’s fashion choices but it might be worth it for all this drama!! Are you excited for the show and what did you think of last night’s season finale???
Here’s the first part of a three part series that profiles Ms. Roitfield as she makes her way from the Haute Couture shows in Paris to New York Fashion week and then back to her fabulous life as Editor-in-Chief of French Vogue . It’s a must watch and I think I love her more and more with every minute of this piece…this woman is one of my style icons!
You can click here to see the entire series on CNN.
Thanks so much to everyone at FOX for the amazing opportunity and if you happen to live in D/FW, tune into FOX4 on May 7th…I’ll be back with more fashion tips and the Hottest Sandals for under $100!
And you can get those Abaete for Payless shoes right here!
LC has added yet another title to her ever-growing resume…author. The Hills starlet has penned the first in a series of books based on her not-s0-real life in LA. The book will follow the story of a 19-year old girl as she moves to La La land, lands and internship and finds her own way…sound familiar?? I’m sure this was a huge mental stretch for Ms. Conrad but on a positive note, the cover is super-cute!!
The book hits shelves on June 16th. So what do you think of LC’s latest project…will you be reading LA Candy?
According to the New York Post, Rachel Zoe is seriously pissing off her celebrity clients like Debra Messing and Cameron Diaz. So much so, that Debra supposedly gave the tiny fashionista a pink slip! Her clients are annoyed that Zoe is working on her reality show too much and losing focus when it comes to her first job (and the reason she even has a TV show), styling.
Rachel can do no wrong in my book and as far as I’m concerned these stars are just jealous that they now have to share the spotlight with Rachel and that the rest of us get to pick up on her styling tips free of charge! And Debra Messing, really?? She’s got bigger, brighter stars to worry about like Oscar nominated, Anne Hathaway!
Some seem think that Rachel needs her celeb clients to survive in this business and make a good TV show, but let’s not forget that this woman’s life would be worth watching if just for the clothes and accessories…and Brad of course!
One of the biggest trends on the red carpet was color…unfortunately, these gowns were not the way to do color. The first dress isn’t even that bad, and I actually like the rich green shade…unfortunately, the overall styling totally missed the mark.
Christina Applegate is usually on my best dressed list, but this green sack thing did her amazing body no favors. If she wanted to be comfortable, she should have at least upped the glam factor with standout jewelry. That long diamond necklace totally looks out of place and it only emphasizes the general messiness of the dress. The earrings look like a solar system hoovering around her face and she really needed pick something more classic and elegant to elevate the casualness of the gown.
And what happened to Eva Longoria?? She truly wowed in that stunning red gown at the Golden Globes, but she must have asked Robert Verdi to dress her again because she’s back to the overdone, over styled prom-queen business again.
My general feeling about tonight’s red carpet looks was …boooooring. These women left me wanting and expecting more, so let’s hope and pray that the Oscar’s really deliver!
That was easy…when there’s that many fashion DONTS on a red carpet, it makes my job very simple.
Here are the women who actually remembered that they were attending the SAG awards tonight and who decided to actually dress like the movie stars that they are.
Anne chose white, the hottest color for this Awards season, and looked like a goddess in that Grecian inspired Azzaro gown but she should have used a hair stylist in addition to her wardrobe stylist…I do not care for that hair.
Kate Winslet just gets more and more beautiful every time I see her and she’s radiant in this cobalt blue number. And more power to her for showing us again and again that real women do have curves!
Rounding out my top 4 are America Ferrara in a beautifully draped nude Vera Wang number, which combined two usually blah neutrals and made them totally WOW, and my favorite princess, Amy Adams in a rich Violet Giambattista Valli gown. I didn’t love Amy’s dress when I first saw it because of the bows, but once I saw the gown up close and realized that they weren’t actually bows, I quickly changed my mind. The color is striking against her skin tone and the loose column silhouette is a nice contrast to the corseted top. She looks sexy, yet elegant at the same time.
What do you think? What were your favorite looks of the night??
If I were lucky enough to be at Sundance this weekend, this is one of the films I would be dying to see!
RJ Cutler’s documentary, The September Issue, is a real life “Devil Wears Prada” and was compiled from 300+ hours of footage he shot during his 8 months at Vogue. The film is said to have Anna Wintour’s seal of approval (some even say she’ll attend the Sundance premiere) but I have a feeling that since Cutler had final cut, Ms. Wintour might be in for a surprise…or at least I hope so!
I couldn’t post the video but you can click here to watch a preview of the film on Fashionologie.
Leave it to Cameron to inject some much needed color and add an element of risk to the red carpet. Does anyone know if she still works with Rachel Zoe? Or did she put this together herself? Either way, she looks fantabulous in this Chanel dress and she’s sporting one of my picks for the hottest trends of Spring 2009: Asymetrical.
I totally love this shade of Barbie pink on her and the girl knows how to pick a silhouette that perfectly complements her body. Her tanned and toned shoulders/arms are the focus and rightfully so…how do I get my arms to look like that??? And while this look isn’t for everyone, I love that it’s different, modern and de-constructed. There’s something really fresh about it that was missing from many of tonight’s looks.
Her hair and make-up team also deserve a huge thank you tonight…her bold red lips perfectly complement her dress without overpowering it. I think it was a great color choice and it makes the whole look seem more grown up.
I also love her hair this color and the longer length is a much needed update. She usually has it much shorter and choppier, so I’m happy to see it styled down and in soft waves. I’m guessing the new long locks are thanks to some very expensive extensions, but if I were her, I would totally keep them!
