April 2007 Archives

Carrie Underwood wore this fresh floral look to the Country Music Television Music Awards on April 16. Perhaps more suited for a daytime wedding than an awards show, it's still a pretty Spring look.

We found this floral print dress with sweetly feminine details like a gathered bust and flowing tea-length skirt from Candela NYC at edressme.com. Add a nude belt (Rachel Pally Grosgrain Covered Belt at shopbop.com) and pumps (GUESS Carrie pumps at zappos.com) and you've got the look.

American Idol Jordin Sparks looked (and sounded) stunning this week in a figure flattering Butter by Nadia signature wrap dress. Available in jersey or satin in a variety of colors, it instantly changes from a halter dress to a skirt to a strapless tunic (and  more) with a little finesse. With over a dozen ways to wear it, you can get a different look every time you put it on. One size fits sizes 2-16.

With shades designed by Lindsay Lohan, Mariska Hargitay, Courtney Cox, Maria Menounos, Sarah Chalke and Evangeline Lily, CARGO PlantLove lipstick is the first lipstick that actually helps fight global warming.  The tube is made entirely out of corn - a renewable and abundant resource. This environmentally-friendly innovation also emits less greenhouse gases, which many scientists believe to be the major cause of global warming. The outer carton is made of flower paper embedded with real flower seeds. Simply moisten, plant, and wait for a bouquet of wild flowers to grow!

Smooth and silky, the innovative botanical formula is infused with Orchid Complex™ and meadowfoam seed oil as well as jojoba and shea butter. Not only that, but it's environmentally friendly, containing no mineral oils or petroleums.

Even better, CARGO is donating two dollars from the sale of every shade to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Hayden Panettiere recently went shopping and picked up a key necklace and a few snakeskin bangles from the Vita Collection.  Later deciding she needed a few more colors, she went back for more.  The Heroes star now has 2 key necklaces, 2 patent leather milano bracelets and 10 snakeskin bangles in assorted colors and sizes.  Other famous fans of Vita include Katherine Heigl, Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba and Lindsay Lohan.

We found a great selection of Vita Key Set Necklaces ($143) and bangles ($51 and up) at queenbeegirls.com, revolveclothing.com and shopharmonylane.com

Ashlee Simpson (spotted here with Pete Wentz) sported this nautical chic casual hoodie from Rebel Yell on a recent night out. Featuring old-school aesthetics and a sailboat print, it's a cute laid-back look. But is it worth the $151 price tag for a sweatshirt?

If you've got 'em flaunt 'em, right? Celebs like Mischa Barton and Hayden Panettiere are showing off great gams in J&Company's pinstripe Beverly shorts - an ultra short leg-baring denim style. Take your cue from these lovely ladies and pair yours with blousey tops and jackets and leg lengthening heels. And it goes without saying, if you've got less than toned legs, this look is not for you.
