Mail Bombs: Laila Ali’s Diane von Furstenberg Dress, Lala’s Elizabeth and James Jacket, and Rihanna’s Dallin Chase Leather!

Happy Friday!

I’ve got a *ton* of errands to run, so let’s solve some Mail Bombs!

First Colo was feeling our Lala Style File, saying, “I absolutely LOVE this jacket she’s wearing!”

Lala Elizabeth James Jacket

“Who is it by?
Adriana says, “It looks like LaLa’s wearing this Elizabeth and James Herringbone Jagger Jacket.”

“Get yours online at Shopbop for $395.

Next, Patricia says, “Can you tell me who designed the dress Laila Ali wore to the Cedar Sinai Function??

Laila is wearing this Diane Von Furstenberg Hammered Satin Dress:

Get it for $385 at Neiman Marcus.

Samantha had a question about Rih’s leather jacket:

Rihanna Dallin Chase Jacket

She says, “PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! Let me know what I can find the black leather jacket Rihanna wore a little while ago.”

Adriana says, “According to Rihanna Daily, Rih is wearing a Dallin Chase Black Leather Jasper Jacket:

“You can get it for $598 Singer22 or LuvCharlie.

India says, “I am loving this dress Halle Berry is wearing for a photo shoot…”

“…Can you please tell me where I can find it?”

As a former Armani model, I’m assuming that Halle is rocking this Emporio Armani Habotai Silk Dress:

It’s $327 at www.emporioarmani.com.

And finally, Sheikina says, “I am so in love with these Chanel mesh mid calf boots.

” …Are there any shoes that closely resemble this look?”

Unfortunately Luichiny and Steve Madden haven’t released inspired creations, but you can get a Chanel like aura with these $49 Lace Booties from Newport News:

That does it for today!

It’s finally stopped raining in Paris. Time for a picnic!

Have amazing weekends!
