CELEBRITY STYLE BLOG: DOORMAN DENIES PARIS!

Living the life that Paris Hilton lives, it's safe to say that she's used to getting her way. But this wasn't the case on Thursday November 30, as the heiress was turned away at one of the hottest spots in Los Angeles… In 'N Out Burger! Paris started the night breezing into the doors of one of the hardest clubs to gain entry to, West Hollywood club Area, and spent the beginning of the night laughing and holding hands in a booth with, who else, Britney Spears. The two blonde superfriends appeared carefree and got up to shake their stuff to Britney's ex Justin Timberlake's jam SexyBack, but Paris left early with rekindled flame Stavros Niarchos, with big plans for the rest of the night; they wanted to get their Double Double on! After running to the door and pleading with the doorman to no avail, Paris was forced to face the cold slap of rejection. Forced to settle with sub-par Wendy's, she and Stavvy headed home for a night of calories and cuddling. Days earlier, Paris was spotted in a Morphine Generation tee signing autographs for anxious fans, one of whom brought a baseball bat for her to sign! Hey, I'm sure P has signed a lot more random things in her day!

STYLE TIP: SPACE CADET

The no-fuss winter palette of black, navy, grey and white is getting a bit yawny don't you think? How about playing with texture and color by adding a glimmer of metallic to your 2006 (just in time) repertoire? This season, the shiny stuff can go way beyond your New Year's Eve micro-dress.

The look is "Jackie O Tours the Moon" (appropriate if you put the 60's in a blender); high Glamour meets silver streaks of futuristic texture. Exciting dashes of super-shiny, high-gloss metallic can be added to any winter look with the help of a well-placed accessory manifested in silk, sequin, lamé, patent leather, or even costume jewels. An unexpected pop of shimmer is so chic weather you fall in love with a glittery clutch, shimmery leggings or a silver mini.

Go forth and conquer my fashionistas, the sky is barely the limit of your celestial safari!

DESIGNER OF THE WEEK: FOR LOVE AND LIBERTY

Marie Antoinette meets the Ramones might best describe the youthful clothing line, 'For Love and Liberty'. The line, launched in August 2006, embodies an ultra-feminine, princess-like air with a distinctly gothic bite. Paradigms abound in this eclectic collection where baby-soft pinks are offset with subtle skull and cross bone patterns.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, For Love and Liberty is imbued with a casual come-what-may attitude and a flirty sensibility. Designer Christy Whitley spins her creations from a soft color palette of colors like Pear, Coffee, Oyster and Crème. Flattering cuts are key. Ornate details like gothic script, demure rhinestones and embroidered touches add a Romantic twist.

This season's collection includes delicious velvet blazers with crown and medal details. A long-sleeve Juliet Tee features the star-crossed lover mourning her Romeo's death amidst verse from the famous play. Fur lined hoodies and comfortable tunics finish the succinctly stylish season.
