CELEBRITY STYLE BLOG: Paris and New BF: Is He Prettier Than Her?

Boy oh boy, Paris Hilton has barely had time to catch her breath this week! From walking the runway at her own 2007 Sportswear Fall Fashion Show to filming the new season of "Simple Life" with Nicole, the one thing that has not tired her out lately is her new boy toy, actor Josh Henderson (and he sure puts the pretty in pretty boy). The two hit up the red carpet of Complex Magazine's Anniversary Party at Area on April 10, linking arms and cozying up to one another throughout the night. Considering that Josh is much more, ahem, camera friendly than her latest squeeze (Greek heir Stavros Niarchos), I have to wonder if these two ever squabble about who's cuter! To tell you the truth, I am surprised Paris is dating someone so attractive, considering how she tends to drop friends when they start getting more famous/hotter than she is. Beware Josh, try not to outshine Miss Hilton! All the while, the two have been getting close at hotspots all over LA, although Paris claims to be keeping their blossoming relationship PG-rated. Life&Style magazine claims "they see each other every night, and he's so sweet to her. Paris doesn't want to rush things, though. They're just making out and having fun." We'll see about that, considering every move the heiress makes is well documented by the watchful paparazzi.

Paris, to no surprise, decided to hit up Teddy's with Josh on March 29, wearing a pair of Johnson shorts with a beaded top and Hello Kitty necklace (for a stylish, yet not so cutesy look, check out Rachel Leigh's enamel necklace). Thinking about Josh and Paris, I have to wonder how long these two will last. Anyone willing to place any bets?

STYLE TIP:
Caring for Your Swimwear

This week's style tip comes from the sister team, Lisa Letarte Cabrinha and Michele Letarte Ross, of Letarte Swimwear (hailing from Maui so they know their stuff). We all know the enemy of any fabulous suit is stretching, fading and the dreaded saggy bum; caused by elastic break down. Lisa has compiled some clever tips from her experience living in tropical paradise (le sigh) for extending the life of your ultra-cute suit.

  • Washing: Wash by hand with Forever New (included in our Stylist Essentials Kit), gently pull the liner away from the suit to release sand while the suit is submerged.
  • Never leave your suit where the elastic can break down like in the sun, hot car or dryer.
  • Extend the life of your suit by rinsing/soaking in fresh water after a dip in the pool or spa. A soak in the sink will keep chlorine from breaking down elastic.
  • Don't leave suits in the sun where they can lose their vibrant color.
  • Avoid sitting on rough surfaces like rock or rough cement that will cause the bottom of the suit to pill.
