Lastly, in a wardrobe query, Tabatha says, “I’m attending my 1st Fashion Show ever and the theme is “Image is everything.” It’s going to be in Chicago this month so the weather will be cold. The color theme is pink,black, white… I wanted to wear something ” Old Hollywood” but I’m not sure what! I do want to wear a high waisted skirt to accentuate my small waist. Help me please. I’m open to any looks I just want to be stylish!”

Hey Tabatha! When all else fails with fashion, make sure you turn it out with eye catching, extraordinary accessories. Make heads turn with a fly shoe, a clutch in a bright color, or statement making earrings–let your clothes act like a chic yet simple canvas for all your outstanding accoutrements. Get a fun look with the following:

That does it for today! Stay tuned for more celeb style and looks for less!

Style Showdown : Prince vs. Rihanna

Fashion Week is over here in Paris, and it’s time to sit back and reflect on the fabulous fashion on and off the runway.

Ubercelebrities Rihanna and Prince (among others) were in the City of Love for the festivities, and both came out in their best designer sponsored duds to sit front row. Rihanna has been said to take slight style inspiration from Purple Rainman Prince, so we thought it would be fun to have the two trendsetters go head to head in a style showdown.

Who turned it out the best for Paris Fashion Week?

Prince Rihanna Style Showdown

For the Chanel Show, both went for a light color palette with Prince opting for head to toe gray ruffled glory and Rih representing in white and light blue with pearl accents…

Prince Yves Saint Laurent Rihanna Jean Paul Gaultier

The two favored black, with Prince rocking a gold sequined black jacket for Yves Saint Laurent, and Rihanna in black collared cut out top for Jean Paul Gaultier…

And both brought their short slick cuts and dark sunglasses to the front rows of John Galliano and Karl Lagerfeld.

Both were hot, but who shut it down?

Rip the Runway: Dior vs Bebe

I was in love with the Bebe Cassie Mesh Cutout Sandal the first time I saw it about a month ago. Loved it until I saw the original: Dior’s Black Leather and Mesh Platform Slingback.

Bebe-vs-Dior2

Dior’s version is definitely more chic than Bebe’s.  Although, I have to admit that the silver piping around the platform of Bebe’s version adds some edge.  Bebe’s version only costs $149, but the Dior’s will set you back $632.  Which would you rock?

Video : Chanel Iman on Jourdan Dunn and Diversity

Hey Guys!

So today was kind of womp womp. I ran to catch the Louis Vuitton show at the Louvre, but was running a little bit behind…I thought I’d be fine since most shows start a little late. Well, I got there about 15 minutes after the start and all I could see were the well dressed show attendees leaving the venue:( Yes, I was tardy for the party.

I stood outside literally kicking rocks until I spied Covergirl Chanel Iman:

I interviewed her really quickly about on her on again/off again friend Jourdan Dunn and the state of diversity in the industry (see above). She was super sweet–and I love her shades!

What do you think?

Splurge of the Day: Dior Drape Bootie

Being in the midst of Paris fashion week, it’d only be appropriate to dedicate today’s splurge to one of the greatest Parisian fashion houses in existence…not to mention the shoe is insane!

I can see them on Carrie Bradshaw’s feet right now.  They’ll set you back $1,090, but if the price doesn’t intimidate you, you can get them here.
