Summer Time The one thing all celebs do when they travel: they drag 10 suitcases through the airport for a 3-day vacation. No, it’s not for options. No, its not for style. And no, its not because they’re lazy (maybe). It’s simply because they’re not packing efficiently:
Outside of her 6-octave voice range, Mariah Carey is most known for her travel baggage. Traveling with about 23 bags per weekend, per trip, she is probably the heftiest celebrity packer. But you don’t have to travel like that, especially if you’re going on vacation! Vacation’s are meant to be enjoyed, do you really want to spend all your time un-packing, then re-packing? Didn’t think so.
The secret’s to packing efficiently, while still travel in style lay below. It’s about packing basic pieces, transitional pieces, and pieces you can mix and match? Perfect for the indecisive traveler! Read more…

Shopping Looks like the new Target that recently opened up in Harlem got more than a star studded opening! Now that Dolce Vita has designed a range of shoes for the budget friendly chain, they are giving Target’s Harlem location first dibs:
According to TheCut, Dolce Vita’s Target collection is currently available in the Target store in Harlem, while it won’t be available in other Target stores until August 22. Their will only be 4 styles available, and they will range in price from $30-$35, which is a hearty fraction of the usual $150+ that Dolce Vita shoes usually cost. You can check out more pictures from the collection here. If you are interested in shopping it up at the new Target Harlem location, you can head on over to 116th St.!

Style Pearls It is definitely the season of weddings, and season of babies! And as Alicia’s belly grows, and the business of celebrity couples selling their first baby images to weekly magazines not slowing down, there is a constant reminder of the year ’round producing of the next generation:
What to wear to your baby shower is always tricky. Its tricky because you have to find something that fits, something thats comfortable, something adjustable, and shoes that support the swelling of your feet, and many times those things don’t come in one! By the time the baby shower comes around, its usually that time where your fat in the face, thighs, butt, and the water in your feet is really making it hard for you to make the ’rounds greeting guests one by one like you really want to. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but the fashion industry has yet to develop something for the truly fabulous pregnant woman! So in an effort to ease your scouring of the world’s best stores, to find the right outfit for your shower, I have helped find you a few cute pieces:
The legging is every pregnant woman’s best friend! That’s why I chose to pair a basic grey legging, with this printed flowy top (just for fun) and t-strap thong sandal so your feet can have breathing room! Read more…

Special Events In 2008, one of my first (amateur) posts on this blog was called “What To Wear To A Wedding” and my readers then reacted to it very well. And now with all of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor’s and bachelorette’s dropping like flies, its definitely wedding season:
From Lala Vazquez & Carmelo Anthony, to Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green, to Carrie Underwood & Mike Fisher, to Penelope Cruz & Javier Bardem, and with Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz set to wed any day now, celebs are getting hitched and getting hitched fast! But its not only celebrity land that all the wedding bells are ringing in. I’m sure plenty of you have just as much weddings as business meetings to attend (maybe I’m over exaggerating, but you get it) so I have found you some really fab dresses to wear to a Summer wedding!

Trends Looks like Lala Vazquez and Carmelo Anthony’s wedding goer’s had one consistent thing in common, one shoulder dresses. From their pre-wedding boat ride celebration, to the actual wedding, stars pulled out their one-shouldered best:
Ciara in a pink printed Versace one-shouldered dress.
My favorite radio host, Angie Martinez, in a classic black one-shouldered dress.
Trina killing it in a black one-shouldered dress with extravagant asymmetrical ruffle detailing.
As for the boat ride, Trina, Kim Kardashian, and Lala opted for one-shoulder dresses. Inspired by the looks, I have found super cute one-shouldered dresses for whatever Summer celebration you may have planned.
*By the way: there were a lot more one shouldered looks, but I couldn’t get good pictures. Womp.*

Zoe Saldana is slowly starting to become one of the most fashionable faces in Hollywood, and while it all may be credited to a Grade-A stylist, its still a style most people want. She recently stepped out to the “World of Calvin Klein” event during Fashion Week for Spring/Summer 2011 in Germany recently, and as the new face of the brands sexy underwear line, of course she had to look her best:
She rocked a Calvin Klein original and looked great in it, but with Calvin Klein retailing anywhere from $100 to $1,000, who has the money for that? I found this ASOS cut out on shoulder body con dress for $40.58! Now, that’s a good deal!

Style Inspired Looks like Kim K. has found a new fave wardrobe staple: the striped blazer. She first rocked a gray and black striped blazer while out and about in New York last week, pairing it with shorts and a white tank. She then rocked a black and white striped blazer, paired with distressed jeans, loose tank and YSL booties while running errands in Beverly Hills yesterday:
The striped blazer is a fun alternative to the office classic, the black blazer. Blazers has taken over a life of its own over the past couple years, coming in different variations, colors, and silhouettes and have been embraced by a more youthful generation wearing it with more casual looks. What was once deemed “uncool” or too serious, is now a wardrobe must-have! To spice up your wardrobe staple, I have found striped blazers for every budget! Read more…

Lauren London looked super cute with her new ‘do and outfit at Sunday’s BET Awards. Rocking a sequin 3.1 Phillip Lim top, with Helmut Lang pants and Charlotte Olympia shoes, it was understated but still fun enough to not be overlooked:
If you loved her perfect-for-Summer top as much as I did, I have found it for you. The actual top and cheaper alternatives, you hear that? Plural.
