CELEBRITY STYLE BLOG: GET IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM, GIRL!Ever since revealing to Ryan Seacrest that she now loves "dating like a guy", squeaky clean pop princess Hilary Duff has totally been hittin' the town and playin' the field! When she broke up with Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden (who is now joined at the hip with Nicole Richie), I'm sure there was a lot of chocolate eating and Kleenex purchasing. But now she's over it and is one lean mean dating machine! Hil says that "dating is fun. I kind of feel like a guy! It's, like, I can do it now. But I feel kind of wrong at the same time. I've never gotten to date before, so it's kind of exciting. I've always just had a boyfriend, you know? I'm young!" Young you are little Miss Duff, in fact, too young to be allowed into LA hotspot Area on February 10! However, this didn't stop the Duffster, as she went out in an ensemble that is, how should I say this, a little more "Britney appropriate". In a raggedy red mini, fishnets, leather boots and (the saving graces of the outfit) a v-neck sweater with skull earrings and gold bracelets, Hilary looked like we've never seen her before, cute but a little skankalicious! And to top it all off.. the gold Razr? Eesh! While Hilary says that she and Joel are still on speaking terms, they have each also moved on. She explains, "I had a really great relationship with him, and we still have a great relationship, which is really good and unusual. He's a good person, and I will always care about him." Such maturity from such a young girl! |
DESIGNER OF THE WEEK: JAMES JEANSDesigner Seun Lim is the mastermind behind the exquisite styling of James Jeans. While designing for James Jeans she has set the bar for unique design and an ultra-flattering fit within the fashion industry. Their signature pockets and style nuances flatter some of the most famous derrières in the world including Jennifer Aniston, Carmen Electra, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Courtney Cox, Julianne Moore, Brittany Murphy, and Lindsay Lohan. The secret to their winning fit is a carefully placed slash-corner pocket and strategic fading. Their newest styles from the 2007 Spring/Summer collection embrace a sleek silhouette with an equally clean palette of raw denim and fun colors with names like Spice Coral, Ocean, Cement and Mink. The Secret to James' authentic appeal is their elaborate washing and drying process that includes sunbathing the denim in the warm Southern California sun to bring out the truest spectrum of vibrant indigoes possible. Their exclusive Dry Aged Denim is treated with photosynthetic organic enzymes that react when exposed to sunlight. The denim is then hand-painted and sent to bake in the sun where the denim is aged and deepens in color. Finally, James Jeans are resin sealed to preserve the elaborate process.

STYLE TIP: GOING LOOPYThe chic loop of fabric effortlessly draped around the beautiful Theodora Richards seems so obvious yet daring all at once. A notch less stuffy than a scarf but a step above mainstream fashion, this elegant look is easy to steal! Whatever you do, don't pay a dime for your fresh loop! Essentially it's a circle of fabric made of a thick band so it can pile up, framing the face with a nonchalant attitude. So the next time you're searching for that extra something that ties the ensemble together, turn your eye on an old sweater or tee. Select a top that has seen better days and give it a brand new life as an accessory (the bigger the top the longer the loop so maybe raid the BF's closet). Using scissors cut the garment across the bust under the arms. This creates a giant torso piece that becomes a loop! Don't worry about frayed edges, it looks more Bohemian. You'll love using a white tee for a fresh jersey accent for spring! Your new loop is super-versatile, wrap it around the wrist or create a brilliant hoodie separate for when things get chilly outside. Just pull an edge of the loop over your head like a regular hood. |
