KEIRA KNIGHTLEY SEPTEMBER VOGUE

KEIRA DOES VOGUE

My boyfriend came home with the September issue of Vogue yesterday to cheer me up since I was having a particularly hellish week at work. I could not believe how thick it was, he calls it "The phone book". 798 pages of fashion goodness, of course three quarters of those pages are ads ;)

Keira tries to show us that high end designer looks can be wearable if you have the right attitude and confidence.

IN PRADA. I love the Fall Prada lace looks. I love lace in general, it's always romantic and instantly stylish when done right.

IN LANVIN. Who knew stripes could look this dressy?

YSL. One glove, is that a new trend? Like the single earring a couple of years back? Would you ever wear long gloves with a short cocktail dress?

MICHAEL KORES. I think this outfit on the runway is tragic, but it's saved with the gold shoes, gloves and simple black bag. This just shows how important accessories are to an outfit.

LOUIS VUITTON. The dresses from this collection are so wearable, thank you Marc. Not everything has to be heavily constructed, beaded and over the top.

MIU MIU. You can't see it in this picture but the top has the "KK" initials on the side just like Vanessa had VP in the Miu Miu ads. I would be impresses if I saw any celebrities actually strutting items for this disastrous collection. I didn't know Miu Miu was converting into sportswear ;)

DRIES VAN NOTEN. Those shoes!

PRADA. When I first saw the skirt I thought it was from the Jean Paul Gauthier couture line, it's so identical.

CHANEL. Probably one of my favorites out of all the looks. I want those tights, but they are probably 500$, and I wonder how long it will take before they have a massive hole in them?

THAKOON. Last time I wrote about Thakoon, I mentioned how this collection was pretty shady. It was a combination of things many previous designers had done, the dress is totally Marc by Marc Jacobs fall, what about the Balenciagaesque shoes and floral prints? Although it was well done and I love all the pieces, I'm amazed at how much acclamation he's gotten for this particular line.

BALENCIAGA. I would have liked to see the curves of this dress more in this picture.

MARNI. Always doing color block, I guess it's their thing. I don't think Marni has gotten enough credit and exposure lately.

DIOR. It's not the exact same one in the picture, but you get the point.

SOCKS BUILT IN SHOES?

Would you wear these?

INSPIRATION FROM PERU

I've always admired Peruvian style, the woman are always dressed so brightly and colorful! You can draw inspiration from all aspects of their clothing, but I am particularly fond of these purses & clutches from Graceoliver.com. They've also been recently featured in Teen Vogue

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

APPLE LOUNGE
GRAND OPENING

GOLDEN BROOKS. Golden gets better as the years go by. I wish they would bring back Girlfriends, it was one of my favorite shows.

CHRISTINA MILIAN. The silver grey and white, I don't get it. I don't like this look at all and I think maybe she's wearing a bit too much makeup.

NICKY HILTON. This Herve Leger dress does wonders for her body.

PARIS HILTON. I don't like the way the dress is puckered up on the side, and what's the beaded thing on the shoulder, plus that strange necklace. It all just doesn't go, Paris is a trend mess as usual.

TILA TEQUILA AND GF COURTNAY SEMEL. Yes not Courtney, Courtnay! She's Lindsay Lohan's ex and her father is the CEO of Yahoo! Poor girl, she's seriously fug, I have trouble looking at her face. And normally I can find beauty in almost anything...God help her.

LA REID'S HAMPTON PARTY

MARIAH CAREY & NICK CANNON /MARY J. BLIGE. Wow, this outfit is in the top for the best Mariah has looked in a long time. The dress is still super short though, typical Mariah. I would be nice to see her in something more covered up for once. What's wrong with a cute maxi dress?

KELLY RIPA AND HUSBAND MARK CONSUELOS. This print is gorgeous. Mark's jeans are way too baggy though, his outfit would have been nice if the jeans were more fitting.

CIARA & LL COOL J / STAR JONES. Maxi dresses galore! Star is actually looking pretty good...well for her. What's with the open mouth pout though? You'll never be sexy star, sorry to say. And Ciara, please fix your roots.

KATHY & RICK HILTON / MARY J BLIGE & KENDU. Everytime I see pictures of Kathy she's always wearing a long flowing top, what's wrong with a cute pant suit

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VIBE MAGAZINE 15TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY
CHANEL IMAN. I didn't mind those boots when she wore them last week, but they really don't go with that dress.

ESTELLE IN BASSO & BROOKE. That dress is not cute and I don't like what it's doing to her tits.

ANTM GIRLS JASLENE & TOCCARA. Jaslene is so frail, it's crazy! Her body actually scares me, especially when she exposes her midriff, she needs to keep that shit covered.

TRACEE ELLIS ROSS. How very Ashley Olsen of her. Love Tracee's quirky style, I wrote about it a few weeks ago. (Search her name on the top right hand side)

CASSIE IN ELIZABETH AND JAMES. The Olsen's clothing line is getting so popular, especially the feather pieces. I though they were disastrous when I first saw them, but worn correctly (Like above) it's not half bad.

TAMEKA FOSTER. Usher's lady is looking less fug then normal, she pulled out all her fashion cards here.

MADONNA


Today's Celeb Style: She's reinvented herself probably more then any other woman on the planet, let's take a moment to reflect.

I'll always have a soft spot for the Material Girl video and song.

How can we forget the Jean Paul Gauthier cone bra?
I actually really liked Madonna with dark hair, I think she should dye it back because it would make her look a little younger. At the same time though, she was meant to be blonde.

Look at those eyebrows! My boyfriend could not believe that it was her!

One of my favorite dresses from Madonna is the one she wore on the right, I probably would not have matched the shoes though.

The Frozen, gothic days.

Dancefloor queen.

Madonna lends her style skills to H & M.

Madonna is supposedly adopting another baby called Mercy from Malawi.

The last couple of years she's been stepping out in daring designer gowns.

Today: Hip Hop Madonna

CELEB LOOKS

ASHLEE SIMPSON & NICOLE RICHIE. I didn't think these two ever talked. I guess they have something in common now, they are both mothers. I really like the way Nicole's hair is braided, maybe I should try it for work on Monday.


Why can't I find boots like this anywhere in this city? Thank God I'm going to Europe in three weeks, I can imagine all the goodies that are awaiting me.


Who is that tank top by? I'm obsessed with it, it's official.

She looks so much like Joel, I love babies with chubby cheeks. So cute!

This look is almost like a very demure Anna Sui.
SAMANTHA RONSON. She was in Montreal to play the store opening of the H & M on St-Catherine's street last week. Apparently she was on her phone the whole time and acted pretty much uninterested. I guess us Canadians are not cool enough for her :/


SAMANTHA AND LALALA LOHAN. I wonder what Sam is checking out?

LALALA LOHAN IN PHILIP LIM 3.1 She manages to make this classy top look kinda trashy. The YSL pumps don't seem to go with this look at all.

KATE HUDSON. Rachel wore this skirt earlier this week and now Kate. I love it so much, it seems so comfortable. If I could find a similar fabric I would love to make it myself.

I admire Samantha's amazing array of vintage Tshirts.

MARIAH CAREY. Apparently she needs help doing everything. How sad. Remember the straw incident?

MARY KATE AND HER FRIENDS. Interesting friends...they sort of remind me of trashy annoying hipsters. Hopefully that's not really the case...

MISCHA BARTON. Two words: Hot Mess. I have this strange pet peeve when it comes to fashion, I hate prints of food, fruits, veggies whatever I think it's stupid.

I have to admit I went ape shit when I saw this dress, it's too cute. Mischa is obviously enjoying being slim again, but I thought she was hotter and more appealing with curves.

It must be nice to shop all the time without worrying about the price tag.

SPOTTED: KEIRA KNIGHTLEY IN INDONESIA. I've been wondering where she has been hiding. I miss my Keira, even with that horrible verbal diarrhea she suffers from.

OBAMA IN HAWAII. Barack spends time in his place of brith with his daughters. They are so cute!

THE OTHER KK SISTERS. Kylie and kendel and their mom Kris. BRUCE JENNER & KHLOE

KIM KARDASHIAN. I think the Fendi bag is too casual for this dress.

THE KKK SISTERS. I think Kourtney dresses the worst out of them all, I just don't get her style. Khloe comes in first and Kim in second, they both know how to dress their bodies.

BEYONCE. Yeah we see you. That is such a cute hoodie, I love her entire look. I have the feeling she's going through some style changes because she's been dressing so much better lately. More toned down and lest glitzy.

ISLA FISHER AND OLIVE. She's such a sweet little thing, she looks like her mom. So when is she and Borat going to get married? It seems like they've been engaged forever.

GABRIELLE UNION. She has such an amazing presence on the red carpet. As cliche as it sounds, she wears they clothes they don't wear her.

NATALIE PORTMAN. If I could switch my life with anyone it would probably be her. It must be nice to be loved, respected and admired by all.

ASHLEY TISDALE. God damn, when does she not carry a Louis Vuitton bag? Give it a fucking rest.

FERGIE FERG WITH A CAMO LOUIS VUITTON IN LONDON.

AUDRINA. I don't often go gaga for Audrina's clothes, but that top would be perfect for clubbing.

LAUREN CONRAD. Another high waisted skirt?

HILARY DUFF. I'm not sure if that skirt is Herve Leger, but it sure does look similar in style.

TAMARA MOWRY. This dress suits her, and it looks effortless. I like it when people wear simple, easy, no fuss clothes.

SURI CRUISE. She looks like she's got a bit of a temper. It's a tough life being a robot baby.

BILSON. Everyone is wearing side braids lately.

EMMA ROBERTS AT THE DOLLY TEEN AWARDS. Australia's answer to Seventeen magazine is Dolly, I have a couple of issues and it's ok. Emma's dress is a miss for me, it reminds me too much of a trash bag. Why do people insist on wearing this kind of fabric?

NEWS: Ellen and Portia got married! Congrats!
