Buy the LookBig Boyfriend T-Shirt Joey Yellow Button in Med Drifter Shredded Draped Cardigan Katherine Tote Spot Pond Necklace Chalcedony Ring in Brass

Kate Hudson seen on Oct 20 2009 in Anaheim, CA. Kate Hudson keeps it casual while rooting on boyfriend Alex Rodriguez at the Yankees game vs. the Anaheim Angels on October 20 in Anaheim, CA. Kate brought pseudo-dad Kurt Russell to the game, and the duo met up with A-Rod to celebrate the massive 10-1 win, and his 5th homerun of the season. There are even some who are attributing Alex's spectacular performance to having Kate around to keep him motivated! Wearing ripped denim with twisted seams like True Religion's signature Joey Yellow Button in Med Drifter style, Kate wore a comfy white tunic with a plain gray sweater (try Zoa's Big Boyfriend T Shirt in White with Raw 7's Shredded Draped Cardigan in Grey) and toted an edgy black bag with metal accents (like Julie K's Katherine Tote in Black Glaze). She accented the look with a blue lariat necklace (Amy DiGregorio's Spot Pond Necklace in 14k Gold Filled would be gorgeous with any casual 'fit) and a chunky ring (like Castaway's Chalcedony Ring in Brass). What do you think of Kate's baseball 'fit? Ms. Hudson will be heading back to NY this weekend to catch her beau in Game 6 of the heated ALCS series. She's been to almost all of his games lately, cheering him on from field-level seats behind home plate. She's definitely playing the part of a supportive spouse well! Who do you West and East coast readers want to see move on to the next round?

Buy the LookSasha Small Duffle in White Floral Eyelet Dress Hard Woven Shift in Tax Free Seed Earrings in Silver

Kate Hudson seen on Oct 07 2009 in New York, NY. Putting the recent pregnancy rumors to rest, Kate Hudson flaunts her toned physique in a dazzling white mini during a Harper's Bazaar photoshoot in NYC on October 7. The Emilio Pucci Spring 2010 dress is totally Vegas showgirl-esque with sequins, fringe and gem appliqués, but it's undeniable how fit she looks. Work it girl! Hair and makeup obviously had their fun with Kate, giving her voluminous waves and smoky eyes to complement the show-stopping dress (to work the white look before autumn truly sets in, try Gold Hawk's Floral Eyelet Dress in White or Juicy Couture's Hard Woven Shift Dress in Tax Free with a sexy pair of boots). Love the white handbag (similar to Botkier's Sasha Small Duffle in White), shiny stick earrings (like Michele Michel's Seed Earrings in Silver), and sassy gold peeptoes completing the look. What do you think of Kate's hot mama attire? Now that it's officially official that Kate and A-Rod are an item, rumors are already spewing from the mill that Kate is carrying her lover's baby. Not true, said her rep earlier this week – leading to some not-so-nice accusations from other publications that she must be eating too many nachos and throwing back too many brews while cheering on A-Rod from the stands as an explanation for some unflattering pics taken in Malibu earlier this month. Rude! From the photos you can see Kate clearly hasn't lost her figure at all. Nevertheless, the Yankees issued an official warning to the wives of the other teammates, asking them to keep their catty comments to themselves: "The Yankees told the girls to be careful who they spoke to about Kate. They are concerned about the ramifications for the players." Page Six is the source here, so who really knows if this actually happened, but there must have been some major trash talking already happening for the team to issue a warning like this!

Buy the LookJules Handbag in Exotic Bohemian 07

Kate Hudson seen on Aug 30 2009 in New York, NY. Looking a little peeved with the paps, Kate Hudson does the sexy-casual line while out with girlfriends in NYC on August 30. Kate headed out for a few drinks with the girls in a sheer black tee (very similar to Splendid's Feather Tencel Pocket Tee in Black) with lightly distressed skinnies (like Joe's Jeans' Cigarette in Shae) and knocked it outta the park with her above the knee boots. This look is already blowing up for fall and I love that Kate found a way to make it work without looking like a hooker. For more ideas on how to make these boots work for you check out these tips and keep your eyes peeled for chic recessionista deals, like Victoria's Secret's Colin Stuart line. Sticking to the basics with her accessories, Kate carried a black tote with python and zipper accents (check out Julie K's edgy new Jules Handbag in Exotic) and wore a flashy pair of gold earrings (like Calico Juno's Bohemian 07 in Gold). What are your thoughts on her 'fit? Ok, I hate to spread false rumors, but get a load of this: sources say Kate is so smitten with new beau Alex Rodriguez that she's made his apartment into something of a second home and is supposedly contemplating marriage. The source alleges, “Kate’s always at his New York apartment, even on the days when he’s on the road. She's made herself quite comfortable in his life. She’s met his oldest daughter and her son [Ryder] likes Alex.” It gets juicier: “Kate seems to feel that she’s the next Mrs. Rodriguez… But it’s unlikely that it’s headed towards marriage for him.” Whoa, slow down Kate! What do you readers think of these completely far-fetched accusations?

Buy the LookLong Handpainted Maxi Floral Dress Solid Textured Halter Full Length Dress Long Spaghetti Dress Tree of Life Bangle Set

Kate Hudson seen on Jul 31 2009 in New York, NY. Looking lovely in a sweeping maxi, Kate Hudson was spotted strolling through the West Village with her son Ryder on July 31. Meeting up with mama Goldie Hawn for a quick lunch at Bar Pitti, the golden girls spent the rest of their afternoon in shoe heaven at the trendy Iris boutique in the Meatpacking District. For wearing such a glamorous dress, Kate's not really bringing anything to the table with her messy tresses! Starting with a sweeping – and revealing! – halter maxi dress (check out Sue Wong's vibrant Long Handpainted Maxi Floral Dress in Ivory, Vix Swimwear's Solid Textured Halter Full Length Dress in White or Lotta Stensson's silky Long Spaghetti Dress in Whited Black), Kate stayed true to her Bohemian chic style with fringed flats and a few silver bangles circling her wrist (try layering Alex and Ani's expandable wire bangles like the Tree of Life Bangle Set in Silver). It's not a terrible look but the way her skirt is blowing it looks like she's about to have a wardrobe malfunction! Kate has been laying low this summer, spending a few weeks relaxing in Muskoka with the fam while rumors continue to swirl about her steamy romance with Alex Rodriguez. Like Lance Armstrong last summer, A-Rod was invited for a few days of golf with Kate, Goldie and Kurt Russell. Further solidifying their romance, A-Rod took Kate to the annual Yankee's Family Picnic this past weekend with his two daughters, where they were snapped smooching all over the place at the post-game picnic – not in front of the kids, Kate! Like all summer romances, I have to assume this one will sputter out before Labor Day, but what do you readers think – will Kate finally be lucky in love?

Buy the LookSignature Bootcut in Bronco Moira Wedge Eliza Flat Bag in Ice Exotic

Kate Hudson seen on Jul 12 2009 in Beverly Hills, CA. Continuing her illicit affair with A-Rod, Kate Hudson was spotted leaving Barney's in Beverly Hills on July 12 with plenty of loot after a special after-hours shopping trip. The hot new pseudo-couple (in denial) shopped for over an hour together, sharing a dressing room and choosing outfits for each other. Awww! Doing the hippie chic thing time and time again, Kate paired Hudson Jean's hip hugging Signature Bootcut in Bronco) with a colorful crocheted halter and 70's wedges (Matiko's Moira Wedge in Black/Brown would be adorable with the above). Adding a python tote (similar to Julie K's Eliza Flat Bag in Ice Exotic, on sale 30% off!), two toned sunnies and an armful of colorful bracelets, Kate looked pretty satisfied with her selections as she made her way back to her Escalade SUV. What do you think of her Bohemian influenced 'fit? This is pretty much an everyday look for her, but I can't help but comment that it looks like she's gained a little weight in her arms and tummy. Maybe it's just the unflattering top? While Kate spent last weekend in Orange County, meeting up with A-Rod after the Yankees were defeated by the Angels on Sat. Nothing like a good shopping trip to lift your spirits! Since Kate and A-Rod began dating (or more appropriately, hooking up) Kate has been caught running – or more accurately, sprinting – from A-Rod's NYC apartment to waiting rides a few times. It's pretty obvious when photogs snap her going in and coming out in the morning, so I just don't get why they continue to deny anything is going on. Aren't we supposed to be teaching kids honesty these days? And speaking of kids, where is Ryder when Kate is busy with her late night sleepovers and after-hours shopping trips?

Buy the LookMonica Dress in Black and White Banded Henley Dress Pamela Dress in White

Kate Hudson seen on Jun 21 2009 in Miami, FL. Still trying to figure out if brunettes have more fun, Kate Hudson was spotted partying at a club inside the Fountainebleu hotel in Miami, FL into the early morning hours on June 21. Wearing an uber sexy white Herve Leger dress with black accents (if you love the black and white combo, try Autumn Cashmere's Banded Henley Dress in Black Macrame, Rails' Pamela Dress in White, or Shumaq's Monica Dress in Black and White). Kate completed her 'fit with cute bow Loubs and wore her new brunette extensions in loose waves. I like the way she's styling the hair now but I still think she looks younger and sexier as a blonde! At Fountainebleu Kate got the chance to shake her tush at the same hotspot she met Yankees star Alex Rodriguez at last November, so it's no surprise that A-Rod just happened to "bump into" Kate at the hotel… and then left the club separately around 2:30am before both stepping into the same chauffeured ride. As an onlooker said, “They were acting like no one was figuring out what was going on.” Hmmm, who do they think they're kidding? Kate is known for playing the field, but this time around it looks like she's playing on A-Rod's field – and Mama Goldie is NOT pleased about it. A friend close to the fam dished: "Goldie feels it’s high time Kate settled down and left the dating scene behind for a while. Kate’s had a string of boyfriends since her divorce from Chris Robinson and it’s always the same pattern – she falls hard and fast, then gets bored or has her heart broken. Goldie hates the idea of seeing Kate getting hurt again." No one likes to see someone close to them hurting! Do you think it's time for Kate to ditch her partying ways?

Buy the LookSophia Dress Ruffle Tie Dress in Navy Sammy Fleece Blazer in Bone Jules Weekender Tote in Ocean Exotic Vermeil Initial Necklace

Kate Hudson seen on Jun 09 2009 in New York, NY. Still doing the brunette thing, Kate Hudson was spotted leaving her Manhattan residence with her son Ryder on June 9. I think it's safe to say the longer extensions and dull brown locks add about 10 years to Kate's face – yikes! Hopefully she won't keep the new hue after filming wraps for The Killer Inside Me, taking place last week in Oklahoma. Staying true to her Boho chic style, Kate headed out in strappy beaded sandals, a loose navy dress (check out options like Shumaq's Sophia Dress in Navy Blue or Qi's Ruffle Tie Dress in Navy) with a floppy straw hat in her hand. Donning an off white blazer (like Mike & Chris' Sammy Fleece Blazer in Bone), an inky blue python purse (similar to Julie K's Jules Weekender Tote in Ocean Exotic) and a few layered necklaces (start with Jessica Elliot's Vermeil Initial Necklace in Vermeil), Kate pulled her tresses into a side pony for her afternoon out. What do you think of the casual look? I don't know if it's the hair color change or not enough makeup, but Kate sure looks worn out! Not surprising considering she's been quite the NYC socialite this week, spotted partying with A-Rod at the 40/40 nightclub before exiting separately to avoid the paps on June 7. Guess the rumors are true that Kate has her eye on Madge's leftovers! The following night, Kate enjoyed a casual dinner date with Nine co-star Fergie, leaving a popular NYC eatery holding hands and giggling like schoolgirls and pausing to sign autographs for a few fans outside. Makes you wonder, who's putting Ryder to bed every night while Kate is out on the town?

Buy the LookBouquet Dress Clutch with Cut in Handle in Off White Maya Capsleeve Tunic in White Carson Cuff Moira Wedge

Kate Hudson seen on May 30 2009 in New York, NY. Finding out whether or not blondes really do have more fun, a brunette Kate Hudson was spotted sipping champagne and enjoying the fesitivities at the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic on May 30 in NYC. Kate recently went dark for her role in The Killer Inside Me, spotted walking on set with dark curly locks two weeks ago, and it looks like she’s keeping up the look. Do you think it suits her? Kate went the glamorous route for her day in the sun, choosing a very Marilyn Monroe-esque white belted dress (get the summery look with Cake Couture’s Bouquet Dress in White or Letarte’s pool appropriate Maya Capsleeve Tunic in White) with a floppy straw hat and uber trendy wooden heels (like Matiko Footwear’s Moira Wedge in Bone/Brown). Keeping her accessories simple, Kate completed her look with a white bag slung over her arm (opt for Carla Mancini’s more compact Clutch with Cut in Handle in Off White for summer events like this) and a white bangle on her wrist (try CC Skye’s fabulous Carson Cuff in White or a multitude of other candy coated shades). What do you think of the look? Kate looks fabulous while flirting with the photogs, but she reportedly kept a low profile once inside the event after Madonna arrived with her brood. Kate has been spotted cozying up to Alex Rodriguez over the past few weeks, and onlookers said she was noticeably absent from the VIP festivities after Madge arrived. Hmmm, trying to avoid a scene, Kate? I’m not one to jump to conclusions that Kate is dating another athlete (after all, she is quite the sports fan) but Kate has been spotted a couple of times this week cheering A-Rod on at Yankee Stadium, and it doesn’t seem like she would be hiding if she wasn’t guilty of something! What do you think of Kate’s rumored new romance?

Buy the LookSignature Bootcut in Bronco Babydoll Tank in White Vintage Brass Leaf Skull Necklace in Gold Birthstone Ring Charm Python Bangle

Kate Hudson seen on May 17 2009 in Los Angeles, CA. While most of her Hollywood colleagues are abroad at the Cannes Film Festival right now, Kate Hudson is dedicating her time to more important things… like sports. Kate treated her five year-old son Ryder to the Lakers playoff game in Los Angeles over the weekend on May 17, seen hurrying towards the entrance looking pretty excited to catch the live action. Not getting any special treatment, a security guard made Kate throw away her Coffee Bean bev and swiped her down with a metal detector at the entrance. That’s what you get for wearing such big metal bangles, Kate! Putting her Sunday afternoon ‘fit together starting with classic vintage styled bootcuts (you can’t go wrong with Hudson’s Signature Bootcut in Bronco), a white button down cami (similar to PGD Style’s Babydoll Tank in White), and pointy caramel heels. Sticking to the basics, Kate added a few gold charm necklaces (I would pair Castaway’s Vintage Brass Leaf Skull Necklace in Gold with Maya Brenner’s miniature Birthstone Ring Charm in Gold), a wide cuff bracelet (check out Rock Paper Scissors’ fun Python Bangle in Black/White) and classic aviators. What do you think of Kate’s Lakers look? Her arms look as toned as usual, but I have to comment on Ryder’s scruffy appearance. I think he’s outgrowing the shaggy hair Kate – the boy needs a trim! Maybe it’s just my opinion – do you think the long hair is a good little boy look?

Buy the LookBracelet in Silver Fringe Messenger Bag Signature Bootcut Jean in Viva Latvian Love Shirt

Kate Hudson seen on May 01 2009 in New York, NY. Looking as hippie chic as ever, Kate Hudson was spotted lunching at Grey Dog in New York City last Friday, May 1. Kate came to town for the Cartier 100th Anniversary celebration and didn't let the rain kill her spirits as she strolled with a friend through the West Village after lunch. Her pal was also wearing a flannel button-down and Converse sneaks with cuffed destroyed jeans - wouldn't you be a little irked if your friend copied your style right next to you? Then again maybe Kate is the copycat! Kate put her uber casual 'fit together starting with a blue plaid shirt (it has a completely different look, but I'm loving 3J Workshop's edgy take on the plaid trend with the Latvian Love Shirt in Brown Plaid) and faded bootcuts (Hudson's Signature Bootcut Jean in Viva are incredibly soft and comfy), trekking around the city in classic All-Stars with a chocolate suede fringed bag over her shoulder (check out Carla Mancini's Fringe Messenger Bag in Black). Adding her fav turquoise cuff, a flashy silver bangle (try Michele Michel's twisted Bracelet in Silver) and stealthy black sunnies, Kate looks like she's making a good recovery after the festivities from the night before. I would love this 'fit if she chose embellished sandals instead, but I'll admit my All-Stars are my fav shoes when it rains too. What do you think of Kate's urban hippie style? When she dresses as casually as this it's hard to remember Kate turned 30 last month. She's never one to turn down a party, and mama Goldie Hawn threw her quite the shindig at her Pacific Palisades mansion on April 17. Inviting celebs from Justin Timberlake (who Goldie supposedly thinks would be a great match for Kate) and Gwen Stefani to celeb couples Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren and Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. An attendee told People: “Kate was elated, dancing all night, having the time of her life – and she looked amazing in a very sexy little dress and Louboutin heels... She gave a very touching speech and spoke about how important her family is to her.” Apparently the party was such a hit the cops were called in to get the noise under control in the early morning hours. Hey, you only turn 30 once!

Buy the LookLime Boho Long Dress Flap Over Bag with Chain Strap

Kate Hudson seen on Apr 12 2009 in Malibu, CA. Nobody does holidays like Hollywood, and Kate Hudson got in on the Easter fun in Malibu on April 12. Kate brought her 5 year old son Ryder (how cuuuute is his little suit? Such a rockstar!) and another child pal to an exclusive Easter egg hunt at Universal Studios president Ronald Meyer's sprawling Malibu estate, joining Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell for a true family affair. While the kiddies hunted for chocolate eggs (and left with lavish Easter baskets), their celebrity parents had a chance to catch up. Pretty much any celeb with kids was in attendance, including Courteney Cox and David Arquette with their daughter Coco, Tobey Maguire and wife Jennifer Meyer (her dad threw the bash) with their daughter Ruby, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves with baby Levi, and Meryl Streep, Steven Spielberg and Jamie Foxx with their families. Talk about a celebrity affair! Now that spring is officially here, Kate showed off her toned arms with a bright red floral maxi dress with a plunging halter neckline (try CoutureCandy's similar fun frocks like Jenny Packham's Matisse Dress in Multi or Letarte's Lime Boho Long Dress in Lime Print) and casual flats with cute buckles on the sides. Adding a slender choker (I'm sure Kate would love Erickson-Beamon's funky Gig Fish Satin Necklace in Multi) and a chic chain strap purse (check out Carla Mancini's Flap Over Bag with Chain Strap), Kate looked a little rushed as she hurried past security clasping hands with Ryder and his buddy. What do you think of her Easter ensemble? I can only speculate, but I wonder if Kate's mood has to do with her recent re-split with Owen Wilson. Supposedly, Owen popped the question (they've only been back together for a couple of months!) and Kate freaked, leading them to call it quits again. I give it another 6 months before they're back together. Do you think there will be more Kate-Owen drama to come?

Buy the LookSasha Clutch Sequin Bolero Sweater

Kate Hudson seen on Mar 02 2009 in Milan, Italy. Decked out in a fully sequined ensemble, Kate Hudson arrived at the Extreme Beauty in Vogue soiree at the Palazzina della Ragione in Milan, Italy on March 2 with her brother, Wyatt Russell. For someone who is usually so fashionable, my first thought is what happened here? And at the Vogue party during Milan Fashion Week, of all places! The sequined skirt and cropped jacket set is an all around disappointment. I don’t care who designed it – you couldn’t pick a more unflattering style for Kate’s body. It’s even more disappointing that I got a Twitter update (yes, cliche I know, but once I discovered you can get updates directly from the runways I was hooked!) from one of the attendees who spotted Kate ask a security guard to hold her sequined jacket while she took a breather to cool off, but after seeing the rest of her ‘fit I wish she hadn’t asked for it back! First off, the skirt is a horrible cut. Kate has fabulous gams, and the length and high waist fit make her legs look chunky (try incorporating sequins into your wardrobe in more flattering ways like Autumn Cashmere’s Sequin Bolero Sweater in Black or Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti’s Scoop Sequin Tank in Green). The tucked in white corset top might work, except for the casual bow ties hanging down the front. Way too feminine of a contrast to the flashy all-over sequined look. The jacket draped over her shoulders is cute, but again the cropped length and short sleeves chops up her body. Maybe a plain color with no sequins would have been a better take? Kate carried a black clutch (like Julie K’s staple Sasha Clutch in Black Glaze), which is a little puzzling because there is no black in the skirt or jacket – so why not try a less statement color, like nude or tan? Kate completed her look with a bunch of gold bangles (try Alex and Ani’s Set of 7 Signature Expandable Wire Bangles in Gold) and cool multi-toned metallic heels – probably the only part of the look I like, but again too much with the sequins. Even Kate’s hair looks sloppy, swept back with loose pieces falling out, intentional or not. Can we just assume her stylist couldn’t make it to Milan in time to approve this? What do you readers think – does it work for Kate or is it completely unwearable?

Buy the LookNicolet Trench Coat 5 Pocket Bootcut Jean in Super Bleach Postman Clutch

Kate Hudson seen on Mar 01 2009 in Milan, Italy. Heading to Italy to check out the latest runway fashions, Kate Hudson attempted to have an incognito shopping day at Dolce & Gabbana in Milan on March 1. Decked out in a shiny gold jacket (or opt for Suzabelle’s Nicolet Trench Coat in Classic Taupe), bleached bell-bottoms (try Tag’s comfy 5 Pocket Bootcut Jean in Super Bleach) and a colorful silk scarf, Kate fit the part of a jetsetter as she left the boutique carrying black and white sunnies with a huge rectangular clutch tucked under her arm (minimize with Carla Mancini’s Postman Clutch in Tan). What do you think of the ‘fit – is the jacket too much or does it suit her golden girl personality? I love the patterned scarf but I’m not digging the jacket over the jeans – cute separately but frumpy together. Kate has been living it up in Europe over the past few days, meeting up with Owen Wilson in Paris after his Marley and Me promo duties before heading east for Milan Fashion Week. I still can’t wrap my mind around Kate and Owen’s reunion – it seems like there is so much drama and negative history there! Maybe the third time’s the charm? The latest gossip surrounding the on again, off again couple alleges they might be thinking about a baby, after getting back together publicly just a few weeks ago. A friend of Owen’s (not Kate) blabbed: “Kate and Owen initially got back together three months ago after realizing they couldn’t live without each other. Now they are ready to become parents. Kate has been desperate for a brother or sister for Ryder, her first child with ex-husband Chris Robinson, for some time. Kate has seen a change in Owen. He is now truly committed and is showing a new-found maturity.” Sounds a little fishy - I hope they’re not serious! On the flip side, Owen’s family is seriously concerned about the reunion, especially considering his suicide attempt after their previous break-up: “They are seriously worried about Kate’s effect on his mental health. She has him wrapped around her little finger, and he seems powerless to do anything about it.” Everying happening here sounds pretty farfetched – do you think it’s possible Kate is really considering having Owen’s baby?

Buy the LookFlare Denim Jean in Medium New York Ricky Tunic Tee Free Love Necklace in Silver Braided Magnetic Cuff Bracelet

Kate Hudson seen on Jan 20 2009 in Los Angeles, CA. Happy to be home from her Euro press tour, Kate Hudson touched down at LAX on January 20 looking every bit the California girl she is. Wearing a laid-back pair of distressed flares by 7 For All Mankind (get the look with 7 For All Mankind’s classic Flare Denim Jean in Medium New York) with a crisp white tee (try PGD Style’s comfy Ricky Tunic Tee in White) and a long white pearl necklace (try Rachel Leigh’s Free Love Necklace in Silver to match the 60’s vibe), Kate dressed up her ‘fit with plenty of accessories. From her fringed tote (check out Carla Mancini’s Shoulder Bag with Fringe Rows in Off White) and turquoise bangle bracelet (try Accessories & Beyond’s Braided Magnetic Cuff Bracelet in Turquoise/Gold) to her wavy golden locks, Kate’s ‘fit screams hippie chic. Are you a fan of the look? Now that she has time to relax after spending a few weeks abroad consumed by a whirlwind of promotional appearances, Kate has been enjoying her time home with her 5 yr old son Ryder, with a few trips to the beach in between. Kate was spotted paddle surfing with friends in Malibu earlier this week, and enjoyed a short trip to Maui as well. What’s next for Kate? In an interview with InStyle UK, Kate talked about her version of single parenting: “Being a single parent can be difficult, but I don’t feel I am one. Chris [Robinson] and I are co-parenting and traveling is where it gets difficult. Chris is on the road and I’ve had a busy last year, so I am going to take a break in 2009. I want to soak in every little part of who Ryder is.” Looks like Kate will be focusing on the family this year. How are the rest of you coming along with your 2009 resolutions?

Buy the LookRuffle Mini Dress Bridget Belt

Kate Hudson seen on Jan 19 2009 in Paris, France. Continuing her Euro press tour for Bride Wars, Kate Hudson got all dolled up for a photo call in Paris, France on January 19. Posing with co-star Anne Hathaway in a flirty little mini by Louis Vuitton – an excellent choice! – Kate flaunted her super toned gams in sheer black tights and shiny black pumps. What do you think of Kate’s plunging neckline and girly puff sleeves? I love the shiny detail along the hem and the dash of color her belt adds, but I’m not sure if the shoulder enlarging look is good for Kate’s body. Thoughts? Check out CoutureCandy’s array of LBD’s like Lotta Stensson’s Ruffle Mini Dress in Black or Nabe’s Stitch Strap Dress in Black with a tie belt like Julie K’s Bridget Belt in Yellow. Everyone loves to stick their nose in Kate’s romantic life, but this week People revealed a new development that doesn’t come as too big of a shock. Kate and former beau Owen Wilson are apparently giving it another shot after Kate invited him to a party at her house in Pacific Palisades. A party guest squealed about their rekindled love: “They were hugging and kissing all night. [The next day at Owen's house in Malibu,] they spent the afternoon lying out by the pool.” But not so fast: Kate is currently on the cover of InStyle UK’s March issue, where she dished tons of personal perspectives, including her views on being single: “I’m enjoying being single because I really never have been… I feel good in relationships. I enjoy them, so I feel my best when I’m in something solid. But it’s the first time I’ve taken a step back and gotten a new perspective. I’ve made a conscious decision to try to stay single as long as possible.” Has Kate really already thrown in the towel on her newfound singledom, or do you think she just wanted someone to cuddle with on Valentine’s Day? You decide!

Buy the LookHammered Tear Drop Earrings with Emeralds Elena Mini Dress Serengeti Tunic in Black Zebra

Kate Hudson seen on Jan 05 2009 in New York, NY. Looking gorgeous in green on her way to tape an appearance on the “Late Show with David Letterman,” Kate Hudson took a few minutes to appreciate her fans outside the studio on January 5 in NYC. Kate started the first full week of the new year with a fun filled day of promotional duties for her new funny flick, Bride Wars, out in theaters today. Wearing a stunning sequined dress with a mosaic pattern (similar to LaROK’s Serengeti Tunic in Black Zebra or stick to the green hue with Ingwa Melero’s Elena Mini Dress in Green Combo), Kate flaunted her toned bod in the backless mini and polished her look with opaque black tights and funky gold and black heels. Accenting the dress with chunky green earrings (try Kuo Ting’s elegant Hammered Tear Drop Earrings with Emeralds in Gold) and a sleek black enamel ring (step it up with CC Skye’s Power Ring in Gold), Kate played up the green hue with a matching shadow on her lids and let her blonde locks cascade in voluminous waves. I think this look is absolutely stunning on her – any thoughts? Earlier in the day, Kate met up with her co-star, Anne Hathaway, for a dressed down photo shoot at an NYC office building. Kate’s appearance on the “Late Show” marked the beginning of a long week for her, returning to LA for the People’s Choice Awards on Wednesday and her son Ryder’s 5th birthday. Kate caused a little commotion when she arrived late for the ceremony and missed her spot to present, but luckily Ellen DeGeneres was on hand to fill in for her! Insisting that traffic was to blame for her tardiness, Kate explained her day: "I went home and was cooking for the birthday party. I made sure I got the cake, and I got dressed up and I came here. It took me an hour and a half!" I’m curious as to why she agreed to present the same day as her little boy’s birthday bash! Have any of you had to juggle family obligations with work this holiday season?

Buy the LookScallop Boot in Brown

Kate Hudson seen on Jan 03 2009 in New York, NY. Back in the Big Apple after her holiday vacay in Aspen, Kate Hudson headed back to work and got the New Year off to a good start after returning to NYC on January 3. Kate started her day with some mind-body maintenance at a Soho health club before treating herself to coffee with a girlfriend and taking a brief (and chilly!) stroll with her pal. Don’t you just love the caramel color of her knee-high boots? Paired with snow white leggings, a thick turtleneck and patterned sweater, I’m loving Kate’s wintry look. Do you think it works for her (and the weather)? To keep yourself warm this season, check out CoutureCandy’s cozy winter items like Smitten’s High Neck Patch Pocket Tunic in Heather Grey, Autumn Cashmere’s Tweed Popcorn Cable Shawl Sweater in Jet Smoke or the Kimono Flare Sleeve Top in Cement. And don’t forget a snug pair of flat boots like Matiko’s Scallop Boot in Brown! Like most of us this holiday season, Kate was lucky to have a few days off work before the endless promotional circuit starts for her new funny flick, Bride Wars with Anne Hathaway, which is out this Friday, Jan 9. If you haven’t seen the trailer, I suggest you take a look, as the movie is ripe with hilarious bridezilla moments culminating in Kate’s hair getting dyed blue. There are only so many ways to make a romantic bridal comedy work, but I’m actually excited about this one. Will any of you be making a trip to the movies this weekend? When you star in a movie about two crazy brides, it’s inevitable that questions about your own romantic past will follow. Kate took a moment to comment to the press on her own quest to find Mr. Right: “I don’t know yet who the perfect guy is. I do know that I like honest guys. That gets me going. I also like men who are really upfront about who they are and what they want. Sadly, those guys are really hard to find.” What about you, readers – what gets you going when you meet a new man?

Buy the LookSweater Boot Pamila Hobo Marin Trench Coat in Grey Tweed A Line Cardigan with Bell Sleeve in Oatmeal Peace Tree Thermal

Kate Hudson seen on Dec 28 2008 in Aspen, CO. Taking a little time off to relax with the fam over the holidays, Kate Hudson has a white Christmas in Aspen, CO and enjoyed a little retail therapy with her mama Goldie Hawn and a gal pal on December 28. Always up for a good time, Kate looked like she enjoyed herself as she spent the afternoon filling shopping bags with her mom, sharing plenty of laughs and an occasional glare at the lingering paps. Braving the frigid weather for the sales, Kate layered up with a graphic teal top (check out Signorelli’s Peace Tree Thermal in Pear) under a cozy sweater (curl up in Smitten’s A Line Cardigan with Bell Sleeves in Oatmeal) and a sophisticated black and charcoal coat (try Suzabelle’s Marin Trench Coat in Grey Tweed), toting a functional black purse (Rough Roses’ Pamila Hobo in Black has similar flap pockets) and a trailing gray scarf. Tucking her infamous blonde locks into a striped ski cap, Kate wore comfy black thermal leggings and heavy duty snow boots to keep her tootsies warm (in less extreme weather, Matiko’s Sweater Boot in Navy would be adorable). It’s a bit rare to see someone able to pull off such a fashionable ‘fit in temperatures this cold, but here we have classic hippie Kate showing us anything is possible – unlike Paris Hilton’s frightening animal prints in the same city a few days ago! Kate’s love of all things outdoors is no secret, and she recently gushed to a British magazine about her enthusiasm for the slopes: “We are a big skiing family. We usually ski in Aspen, Colorado – that’s where our home is and where we grew up. I know those mountains really well, from Ajax and the Aspen Highlands to Snowmass… These days I’m a leisure skier – I go up, have one run, go back up, have a great meal and go back down. But every once in a while I’ll do a mogul run just because it’s thrilling and fun.” Once again it seems that Kate is up for anything physical! Were any of you lucky enough to spend your holidays outdoors?

Buy the LookSasha Clutch Satin Belt Loop Short in Black Silk Shorts with Cuff in Black Feather Print Logo Blazer in Black Dakota Ruffle Triangle Shawl

Kate Hudson seen on Dec 14 2008 in London, UK. After a few grueling months spent in London rehearsing and filming the film version of the play Nine, Kate Hudson attended a much deserved wrap party at the Maddox Night Club in London on Dec 14 with a mystery man to tow. I had to laugh out loud at the continued tabloid speculation over this new possible beau, because her date is none other than her biological father, Bill Hudson. Nice to see Kate rekindling the father-daughter bond in time for the holidays! Getting dressed up for the occasion, Kate let her flirty side loose with a pair of glitzy shorts over black tights (try Johnson’s Satin Belt Loop Short in Black or the Silk Shorts with Cuff in Black Feather Print), black knee high boots and a masculine black blazer (like Signorelli’s classic Logo Blazer in Black). Getting cozy with a tan shawl (similar to Elizabeth Gillett’s Dakota Ruffle Triangle Shawl in Ivory), Kate clutched a black envelope purse (check out Julie K’s sleek Sasha Clutch in Black Glaze) in one hand and her dad’s hand in the other. I love her smoky eyes and nude lips, but the real question here is the ‘fit: do you think the shorts work with the tights? It seems kind of like a theatre costume gone awry in my opinion! Despite the appearance, you can’t deny Kate does have the gams for the boots, which she would happily attribute to her incredibly active lifestyle. Kate recently dished to Harper’s Bazaar about her life philosophy: “Life is too short to be concerned with anything but having a great time. Sports are big in my life. I swim, run, bike and dance, play volleyball and soccer, and I want to start training for a triathlon. I’m one of those people who love to be active.” That’s a lot of activity for one person! Do any of you forgo the gym and play sports instead to stay in shape?

Buy the LookVelvet Coat with Frog Closure East West Shopper Bag Seychelles Bracelet Gumball Ring in Caramel Buddha Ring Flare Denim Jean in Medium New York

Kate Hudson seen on Dec 11 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Jetting off for a weekend away without her son Ryder, Kate Hudson caught a flight out of LAX Airport on Dec 11. Wearing a vibrant ensemble starting with twisted seam distressed flares (try 7 For All Mankind’s Flare Denim Jean in Medium New York and add holes yourself if you want them), a fringed scarf and huge white sunnies, Kate played up her hippie vibe with a smattering of eclectic rings (I’m sure Kate would love Femme Metale’s Buddha Ring in Sterling Silver with some gem rings like Rachel Leigh’s Gumball Ring in Caramel) and a huge turquoise wrist cuff (try the chunkier style of Castaway’s Seychelles Bracelet in Turquoise). Finishing off the look with an earthy brown bag (I’m loving Carla Mancini’s East West Shopper Bag in Rust), oatmeal peep-toes and a fancy black overcoat (similar to Ingwa Melero’s Velvet Coat with Frog Closure in Black), I wouldn’t say this is one of Kate’s best looks but she does pull off the hippie chic look naturally. How do you feel about the ripped up flares – are they a do or don’t? Kate is known for speaking her mind, and recently she cleared up romantic rumors in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar: “I was never single in the industry – when the movies came out and I started getting more jobs, I was always married. So the whole thing is very new to me, and it hits you very fast because the publications jump on you. You’re dating everybody you walk around with – you can’t have any male friends. It’s weird… I’m single. I’m totally single.” You can’t get any firmer of a declaration than that! Do you think Kate is overly criticized for her male companions?

Buy the LookBubble 5 Gem Cuff in Vermeil Enamel Ring Fringe Messenger Bag Chunky Turtleneck Dolman Sleeve Sweater

Kate Hudson seen on Nov 25 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. After a draining international flight from London, Kate Hudson and a very sleepy Ryder Robinson touched down at LAX Airport on Nov 25, presumably to spend the holidays at home with grandma Goldie Hawn. Though she gave the paps an icy stare, Kate appeared to be warm and cozy in her chunky knit sweater (try the similar shape of Smitten’s Chunky Turtleneck Dolman Sleeve Sweater in Grey) casually paired with straight leg jeans (check out Denim of Virtue’s Prudence Straight Leg Jean in Rinse), brown suede knee high boots and a shady pair of aviators. Completely rocking the popular Native American inspired look of the season, Kate carried a latte colored fringed purse (see Carla Mancini’s Fringe Messenger Bag in Black if you like the fringe look) and wore a huge turquoise ring (check out Rachel Leigh’s mod Enamel Ring in Blue) with a variety of turquoise and silver bangles (try Rebecca Norman’s Bubble 5 Gem Cuff in Vermeil). Besides her penchant for funny flicks, Kate is well known for her fleeting romantic endeavors, and a few months after her break-up with Lance Armstrong she’s reportedly on the prowl for a new man. Last week while partying in Miami at Fontainebleau’s grand opening, rumors were flying that Kate spent most of the evening chatting it up with newly divorced A-Rod. Guess she didn’t get the message that he’s Madge’s territory now! It’s also rumored that Kate has patched things up with former flame Owen Wilson, who extended a peace offering and invited her to spend time catching up with him at his Maui abode. No one likes to spend the holidays alone, so I can’t blame Kate for flirting, but I hope she takes the time to consider her options before jumping into another ill fated fling!

Buy the LookChalcedony Ring in Brass Sweet Tooth Bangle in Gold A-line Turtleneck Dress in Blueberry Jasmine Silk Mini Dress in Royal Blue

Kate Hudson seen on Nov 14 2008 in Miami, FL. Reminding us all just how sexy she can be, Kate Hudson donned an appropriately slinky pool blue dress for Fontainebleau’s Miami Beach Grand Opening on Nov 14. Wearing loose blonde waves and a stunning azure dress with an eye-catching black zipper running down the center back (try Karina Grimaldi’s Jasmine Silk Mini Dress in Royal Blue or Smitten’s A-line Turtleneck Dress in Blueberry), Kate paired her fashion forward frock with equally edgy black patent cut out pumps. Keeping her accessories simple with a slender diamond bangle (try Rachel Leigh’s Sweeth Tooth Bangle in Gold without emptying your piggy bank) and a dainty turquoise ring (try Castaway’s Chalcedony Ring in Brass), Kate struck some goofy poses for the press as she made her way into the event. Though she looks fabulous here, Kate recently spoke up about her style and insists it’s not intentional. The busy working mom said, “I like to mismatch clothes. I like a look that is not too thought-out or contrived… I don't dress for anyone but me and the people I love, so it always makes me laugh when people say how fashionable I am.” If it’s this simple philosophy that wins Kate style awards from Elle and other fashion mags, maybe we should all take a page from her book!

Buy the LookElastic Bracelets Suede Hobo in Mustard Passport Holder

Kate Hudson seen on Oct 30 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Looking quite frazzled, Kate Hudson had a bit of an ordeal leaving the LA Airport on Oct 30, battling paparazzi and fans alike as she made her way through the departure terminal accompanied by one lone female security guard. Dressed very casually for her flight, Kate wore an oversized turtleneck dress (try the more tailored shape of Smitten’s High Neck Patch Pocket Dress in Heather Grey) with sheer brown tights, brown suede knee high boots, a turquoise bangle (check out the eye popping color of Accessories & Beyond’s Elastic Bracelets in Turquoise) and a classy olive fedora. Carrying an envious Burberry “Lowry” suede bag that I can only imagine Kate picked up at the store opening party last week (try EDE Studio’s Suede Hobo in Mustard for a more wallet friendly pick), Kate looked pretty annoyed as she hurried toward the check-in counter with her metallic passport holder in hand (try Carla Mancini’s Passport Holder in Anthracyte for your travels). Though Kate Hudson’s bad luck with men is often joked about, I have to wonder if there really is some underlying reason that every relationship she starts fizzes out within a few months. Last week after attending the Burberry party in Beverly Hills, Kate was spotted driving off with none other than Baron Davis of the LA Clippers. The unlikely duo were classmates at Crossroads in Santa Monica back in the day, and were later seen together at the Bardot club in Hollywood holding hands and canoodling. Kate attended the opening night b-ball game on Oct 29, watching anxiously from her courtside seat, and at the next Clippers game two nights later, Baron gets injured. It wouldn’t be the first time a pro athlete dated a celeb and wound up on the bench (cough, Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson, cough, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, cough). What do you think - coincidence, or curse?

Buy the LookPleated Dress Bailey Pump

Kate Hudson seen on Oct 20 2008 in Beverly Hills, CA. Getting giggly with Liv Tyler, Kate Hudson posed with her pal at the Burberry reopening party in Beverly Hills on Oct 20. While reading up on the latest gossip in Kate’s tumultuous life, I was quite surprised to stumble upon a mention that she received Elle’s Style Icon award earlier this year. Am I alone when I say I think there are more deserving celeb fashionistas than she? Not that Kate has bad style or anything - it’s just not exactly groundbreaking, or even trendsetting. That said she has the body to rock a lot of looks not everyone can pull off, but out of all the trendy celebs out there, should we really be aspiring to follow her fashion footsteps? I was skeptical but after seeing this look from last week, I’m convinced that Kate does truly possess some style finesse. Wearing a Burberry mustard yellow mini made of a crinkly sateen fabric (check out Zoa’s Pleated Dress in Eve Green), Kate kept her look very simple with sheer black nylons and strappy black platform heels (try the cool complementary shade of Matiko’s Bailey Pump in Grey Patent). With unpolished nails and natural make-up, Kate let her blonde layers fall loosely around her face, allowing her sunny smile to become the focus of the ensemble. Despite my opinion that she looks radiant as ever here, Kate has come under fire from the fashion police regarding the fit of this frock – what do you think, does the boxy shape work for her? Besides her shopping endeavors, Kate is currently filming Nine in London with a slew of stars from Nicole Kidman to Penelope Cruz, putting together what will surely be the next big musical hit in Hollywood. Personally, I’m not a fan of singing and dancing unless it’s viewed live, but with an all-star cast and a special role created just for Kate, I have a feeling this one will be different. Any thoughts?

Buy the LookScoop Neck Racer Back Top Audrey Jacket

Kate Hudson seen on Oct 01 2008 in London, UK. Looking perky as always, Kate Hudson was spotted sharing a laugh with Fergie while leaving a London eatery on Oct 1. Stepping up the classy factor for dinner with a few of her castmates from the musical-turned-movie, Nine, Kate braced the London cold in her camel coat with oversized lapels (see Doucette Duvall’s Audrey Jacket in Camel), wearing a draped cowl neck top underneath (try Zoa’s Scoop Neck Racer Back Top in Deep Silver) and classic black skinny pants (like Hudson’s New Stella Skinny Poplin Jean in Black). Rather than stick with the basics, Kate added a chunky blue necklace (try Marnie Rock’s colorful Multi Colored Agate with Knots Neckace in Gold) and a flashy dome ring (check out Rachel Leigh’s Crystal Pave Domed Ring in Gold), carrying a black fold-over clutch (similar to Lesa Wallace’s Patent Leather No Baggage Bag in Black) while teetering on sexy studded t-strap heels. It’s a notch dressier than her usual style and I can’t say I dislike that she tried to work a little color into her mostly black ‘fit – any thoughts? All in all, very appropriate for a dinner date with legends including Sophia Loren, Judi Dench and Marion Cottillard. Producer Harvey Weinstein was the only male in attendance, and I can only imagine how lucky he must have felt sitting with all those babes!

Buy the LookWrist Cuff Braided Waist Belt Solid Ruffle Dress

Kate Hudson seen on Sep 16 2008 in London, England. Seemingly incapable of sitting on the sidelines, immediately following the premiere of her latest flick, My Best Friend’s Girl, fashionista Kate Hudson hopped on a plane to attend National Magazine Company’s “30 Days of Fashion and Beauty” event at the Natural History Museum in London, England on Sept 16. Kate spent most of the event with best-dressed pals Gwyneth Paltrow and Stella McCartney, posing with them in her satiny grey shirtdress with casual rolled sleeves (try Gold Hawk’s Solid Ruffle Dress in Soft Praline) with a black belt cinching the dress at the waist (like Rough Roses’ Braided Waist Belt in Black) with killer t-strap heels. Not lacking for accessories, Kate added a wide gold cuff (check out Kimberly Faith’s Wrist Cuff in Gold), with a matching square ring (like Rachel Leigh’s Square Lux Ring in Jet), and carried a shiny, oversized envelope clutch (similar to Marnie Rocks’ Large Gold Python Clutch in Gold). I like how she pulled her look together with the heels and purse, but the dress looks kind of like a giant satin nightie to me – any thoughts? Before jetting overseas, Kate stopped in for an afternoon of fun on the Ellen DeGeneres show, taking the opportunity to be a part of Ellen’s quest to meet George Clooney. When Kate said she was single, Ellen suggested they use her as bait to lure Clooney out of his office. Not a bad plan, considering Kate is quite a catch! George’s production HQ’s are located on the Warner Bro’s lot as Ellen’s show, so they headed over to check it out. He wasn’t in, so Kate taped her note to the glass paned door – saying she was “in the neighborhood” and telling him to call her on Ellen’s phone number – along with the cover of Cosmopolitan featuring herself facing inward for George to see as soon as he returns. My guess? George is going to be pretty bummed when he calls to ask Kate out on a date and ends up with Ellen on the line!

Buy the LookWrist Cuff Breathless Belt

Kate Hudson seen on Sep 15 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Kate Hudson shimmied her way across the red carpet on Sept 15 in Los Angeles at the premiere of her newest comedy, My Best Friend’s Girl, looking like a golden goddess while striking a pose for the press. Kate chose a body hugging, belted strapless dress for her ‘fit (try LaROK’s Cup de Jour Dress in Nude cinched with Jack Rabbit’s Breathless Belt in Champagne), channeling Cleopatra with her gold cuff necklace and bracelets (like Kimberly Faith’s Wrist Cruff in Brass with Gold and Rachel Leigh’s elegant Audrey Short Necklace in Gold). Sticking with the golden theme, Kate wore sexy gold metallic heels and carried a bronze clutch (like Lesa Wallace’s Metallic Leather Mark Bag in Copper). I am a fan of the monochromatic look, but what do you think – is the nude dress a good look for her? After attending her premiere, Kate headed over to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno to promote her new flick, also starring funny guys Jason Biggs and Dane Cook, which is available for your viewing pleasure in theaters this Friday, Sept 19. Don’t bring your kids, though – Kate recently told the press, "I finally got to swear and say and do certain things that most people say to each other in normal, everyday life. I got a little taste of what those Sex and the City girls were up to for so long, which was fun." You can also find Ms. Hudson on the cover of October’s Cosmopolitan – have any of you had a chance to check out the cover? While gearing up for her week of publicity, Kate let loose at Madonna’s “Sticky and Sweet” tour in London on Sept 11. So many stars attended the London show that an extra VIP section was created in the venue to seat Fergie, Penelope Cruz, and Katy Perry, among other A-listers who turned up for the concert. The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star laughed it up while sitting with Gwyneth Paltrow, catching a great show featuring the Material Girl perform her greatest hits in fishnets and top hats, naturally. Some things never get old!

Kate Hudson seen on Sep 05 2008 in Toronto, Canada. Though she might be in legal hot water, Kate Hudson looked every bit her usual sunny self at the Canadian launch party of her eco-friendly hair care line, David Babaii for WildAid, in Toronto on Sept 5. For the soiree, Kate donned an elegant white belted Louis Vuitton dress (for a similar style that won’t break your piggy bank, try Shumaq’s Sophia Dress in Pearl White) with racy red Brian Atwood pumps, classy turquoise earrings (check out Lisa K’s Greece Earrings in Gold), and some fun bauble rings (like Femme Metale’s Noble Fleur with Snow Quartz Ring in Silver and Rebecca Norman’s Smooth Crystal Rock Cocktail Ring in Silver). The exclusive party was held at the Hazelton Hotel and introduced the line to Canadian beauty editors, giving Kate and her stylist of ten years, David Babaii, a chance to tell the world about the importance of environmentally friendly products. Kate said, “For me as a mother and a young woman, I think that it’s time to just start making sure that we’re taking the steps as much as we can to be a part of a community that is about preserving our world. But when it comes to saving the environment and where we are and what we need to do universally, I think it just is sort of what we need to start doing and if I can be a part of that in any way, that’s my goal.” And how will she accomplish this goal? Besides using eco-friendly ingredients, the hair care line donates 10% of proceeds to WildAid, a wildlife conservation org based in Africa. Taking advice from Mama Goldie, Kate said, “I grew up with ‘Always give 10 per cent back.’ That’s sort of my mom’s motto, and I believe it should be like that for everything.” Through her collaboration with WildAid, Kate traveled to Africa for an exclusive photo shoot for the new line, which involved Kate getting up close and personal with cheetahs, rhinos and lions. Kate laughed, "Those lions, I was so terrified of those lions. We went up to them right when they were trying to scope out a hunt. We were 10 feet away from three males, which is also really rare, because male lions usually don't hang out together." I’m sure they were posing for you, Kate!

Kate Hudson seen on Aug 19 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Looking like her usual casual self, Kate Hudson made her way through the Los Angeles Airport on August 19, but the only thing missing from her ensemble was her gleaming smile. Why so glum, Kate? Dressed in a simple beige tank, sophisticated grey skinny jeans (like Denim of Virtue’s Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Faded Grey) and envious ivory boots, Kate knows how to travel in style! Adding a few simple accessories, Kate carried a big white tote and wore silver bangles on her wrist (check out Mickey Lynn’s Hammered Bracelet Set in Silver), layered a long gold necklace under a short white beaded one (try Maya Brenner’s Labyrinth Long Necklace in Crystal Quartz with Kuo Ting’s Pearl Wrapped with Beads Necklace in White), and completed her ‘fit with round brown sunnies (check out JeeVice’s Exquisite in Oyster Bronze). The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star recently opened up to W Magazine for their new September issue, discussing everything from her relationship with her ex hubby to her fearlessness when it comes to risk-taking: “I have this personality—and there’s a downside to it too—but I have this thing where it’s like, okay, I’ve chosen to bungee jump off this ledge. I have to do it. And if the cord snaps, well, I might as well enjoy the ride down.” That’s a positive outlook you don’t usually find in Hollywood! I wonder if she had that philosophy in mind when she landed herself in her current legal predicament. Just this June, Kate followed the entrepreneurial celeb craze and launched a line of eco-friendly hair care products with her stylist, David Babaii. Now she’s being sued by one of the labs that she and David consulted for the line, slammed with 17 offences ranging from leaking trade secrets and fraud to breach of contract and confidence. The company claims they had an oral agreement to produce the line for Kate, and after they gave her the ingredient list she broke it off with them and found another company to produce the goods for less dough. Unethical, maybe, but last time I checked, oral contracts don’t hold up in court. What do you think – is the company trying to exploit her?

Kate Hudson seen on Jul 10 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. A healthy, hydrated looking Kate Hudson was out on the golf course with Lance Armstrong in Los Angeles on July 10. The smitten pair have been inseparable lately, living an appropriately active lifestyle that includes tennis camp, golf lessons, and swimming at Lake Tahoe. So that’s how she keeps those legs so toned! Kate looked adorable as always in a casual smocked white mini dress (like Woo’s Piper Cami Dress in White) played up with gold turtle and elephant necklaces (Amy DiGregorio’s Avalon Road Necklace in Gold has a similar ornate carved elephant charm) and flashy gold band rings (check out Erica Anenberg’s unique Blind Faith Braile Ring in Gold). Kate added a comfy light brown cardigan (see Sydney LA’s ¾ Sleeve Cardigan in Vanilla Cream for a luxurious alternative), dark aviator shades (try JeeVice’s Crybaby II in Silver) and a roomy brown leather tote (similar to Rough Rose’s Kimberly Bag in Brown) to carry all of her summer essentials. For the past few weeks, Kate has been laying low in Los Angeles, spending some quality family time with her son Ryder and of course introducing Lance to mama Goldie Hahn. Lance and Kate also enrolled all four of their kiddies in LA’s Palisades week long tennis camp, blending families already? Kate’s ex-husband Chris Robinson even came to watch Ryder play and chatted it up with Lance on the sidelines – a major step for the quickly advancing relationship! Do I hear wedding bells? In addition to her enthusiasm for summer sports (and all things Lance), last week Kate landed a role in the film version of the Broadway hit Nine, where she will shine alongside the Oscar-worthy cast including Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, Marion Cotillard, and Penelope Cruz. Her producer said of her role, "It's wonderful having Kate join this extraordinary cast! Her revelatory skills as a singer and a dancer lead to the creation of the role of Stephanie, a fashion reporter from Vogue working in Italy.” While musicals are always tricky to transition to the big screen, I have a feeling with Kate lighting up the screen as a dancing, singing reporter, it’ll be difficult for Nine not to sweep the box office!

Kate Hudson seen on Jul 09 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. It’s official, Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong split suddenly and supposedly amicably this past weekend, after hosting the three day Livestrong Summit in Columbus, Ohio. Before the split, Kate showed no signs of unhappiness, seen here as her usual sunny self on her way to the airport with Lance on July 9. Always the casual cutie, Kate wore a simple olive green tank (try Signorelli’s Love Tree Rhinestone Tank in Pear for a similar casual look) with dark bootcut jeans (like Hudson’s Signature Bootcut Jean in Tahoe), accessorized with a couple of gold necklaces (check out Kimberly Faith’s Sign Triple Charm Necklace in Gold) while toting a brown leather carryall (try the unique shape of Antoinette Lee’s Besa Stitch Hobo in Tan) and shading her peepers with big brown sunnies (see JeeVice’s Edgy in Oyster Brown). Despite her history of quick flings, I can’t wrap my mind around this one. How do you go from spending every waking minute together, frolicking in the sun, enrolling your kids in the same tennis camp and even introducing your (famous) parents and ex husband, then end it overnight just like that? Something doesn’t sound right here. A close source said, “There was no drama or ugliness – They just decided to end things. There is no hatred, just sadness.” Call me crazy, but I’ve never heard of a breakup going that smoothly. Something intense much have happened to flip the switch that fast! Let the rumors begin… reportedly Kate is recovering from the breakup in none-other than the arms of one of her exes, former hockey pro Eric Lindros. A friend ratted her out, "Kate and Eric have been holed up at her parent's [Goldie & Kurt's] house Muskoka, Canada. She went there immediately after she and Lance ended things." The same cabin Lance and Kate shacked up in last month after Lance’s charity Livestrong event took place up there? Wow, Kate, I would have expected more from you! Let’s hope the rumors aren’t true…

Kate Hudson seen on Jul 01 2008 in Santa Monica, CA. Kate Hudson was spotted grabbing lunch at The Ivy at the Shore with new beau Lance Armstrong and mom Goldie Hawn (who I have to say is like one of my all time fave actresses ever) in Santa Monica on July 1, although both Lance and Kate have declined comment on their hot new romance. For her lunchtime rendezvous, Hudson chose a flowy long dress (like Prarie New York's Long Halter Dress in Jade) with an orange bag (check out Posse New York's Hilary Hobo in Salmon), buckle sandals, black shades (similar to Nour's Madaar Sunglasses in Oro Bianco) and a cool silver swirl bracelet (very similar to Michele Michel Jewelry's Swirl Bracelet in Silver). Very beachy-chic! A source at the restaurant said, "They looked like they were having a great time and enjoying each other’s company. Goldie was all smiles. Lance was sitting next to her and they were chatting while Kate was laughing. They were all just really happy." Presh. While Kate hasn't opened up yet on Lance, he spoke to the ladies of "The View," and simply said, "“Number one, I know you have to ask that question. And it’s my right not to answer it. Number two, I think when you’re happy about something or proud about something, I think it’s natural in human nature to talk about it. But I’m not going to answer it. Next question." Nicely said!

Kate Hudson seen on Aug 20 2006 in Malibu, Ca. Kate Hudson enjoys a leisurely day at the beach in Malibu on August 20, probably trying to escape the paparazzi but not being very successful in her goal. Ever since her on again, off again marriage with her rocker husband, Kate has been quite the tabloid favorite lately! At least Kate is staying stylish under all this scrutiny, wearing a flattering pair of in-demand jean designer of the minute, Siwy denim, in the Michelle Slimfit Jean in Kiss. Here's my advice for this beach blonde, go spend some quality time with that momma of yours, she's so much fun!
