CELEBRITY STYLE BLOG: I KNOW, I KNOW... GET OVER THE WITCH SHOES!MK left an art class in Brentwood on January 7, lugging a giant canvas nearly as big as she is. I'm amazed she could lift it! Mary Kate has been attending art classes lately, getting' her Van Gogh on, wearing her typical uniform of leggings, a long shirt, and her scary Balenciaga witch boots, which are nearly 8 inches tall. Never one to blend into the fashion crowd, MK is taking her style to new heights in these bondage-esque boots that are not for the faint of heart. While often controversial, her fashion choices are definitely cutting edge, as she usually goes where most starlets are too scared to go. Style is a unique personal expression, and while MK expressed her inner 100 year-old self at the Golden Globes after parties. At least she stays true to her own style. In black leggings with black cuffed shorts, a plaid flannel shirt, huge gold bracelet, and oversized shades, MK leaves all of her fashion choices open for criticism. Hey, at least she can pull these looks off! I mean hello, can you imagine superblah Katie Holmes wearing these Balenciaga monsters? |
STYLE TIP: WINTER DENIALBrrrrrr! It's freezing outside! And inside! This cold snap is turning totally depressers just when we were ready to break out the new spring ensembles! There is only one thing to do, declare winter over just to salvage fellow fashionista sanity, thereby ending the black and grey doldrums of our winter wardrobe palette! We need a serious color intervention! Let's lighten color choices and spirits at the same time by sneaking it in wherever possible. Even if your favorite coat and boots are black, you can perk them up with bright accessories. Try tucking magenta sheers into black boots or layering a marigold scarf to frame the face. Jewelry in bright shades add instant cheer factor (Zoloft for cold weather clothes?). Spring forward with a white handbag and act like you are totally ahead of the game. If anyone asks, sigh dramatically and exclaim, "I simply can't take one more day of winter!". So grab your fake tanner, put some fresh flowers in the vase and enter into complete winter-denial. If all else fails we have emergency rose-colored glasses on standby. |

Fascinated by everything fashion, Pamella would spend hours as a teen browsing Parisian flea markets and the posh boutiques of Beverly Hills.

She soon returned to her first love of fashion and attended FIDM after wardrobe stylists insisted on borrowing Pamella's homemade designs. Relying on intuition instead of technicalities, Pamella chooses to design by feel rather than rules. Her experimental style has led to signature Ella Moss pieces like the stripe series, a sublime reinterpretation of a comfy tee into a casual yet elegant dress.
