December 2007 Archives

We LOVE Rachel Ray, but we're starting to wonder why she is always covered up...something we blogged about here. Rach wore this outfit to a book signing in Las Vegas at a Sur La Table store.

The odd height of the skirt is one thing, but to pair it with such a chunky knit boot? We're so confused. Couldn't she have at least worn a 3/4-length sleeve tee? It's not cold in Las Vegas.

We much prefer the outfit she's wearing on the cover of her book, Just In Time.

We've blogged a lot lately about a model's personal style. Usually their outfits are pretty fashion forward, but every now and then you get a model whose style is kind of boring...pulled together, but boring.

There may be a new Top Model in town (Saleisha just won cycle 9 of America's Next Top Model), but Jaslene Gonzalez doesn't care. The proud Latina stunner posed for the cameras at the 2007 MTV TRL Awards in New York City.

And Jaslene pulled out all the latest trends (and some of last season's) for her outfit:

Shrunken leather jacket over a feminine mini? Check.
An oversized clutch? Check.
Ankle booties? Check.
Bangs? Check.
14 minutes of fame used up? Check.

We're a bit confused.

Julia Roberts was snapped running around Midtown Manhattan in an outfit we were tempted to list in the "What Were They Thinking" category. We just don't get it. From the menswear-esque jeans and shoes with whatever kind of orange scarf/blouse that is, to the luxe handbag with the L.L.-Bean-looking tote, to the very oversized wool coat.....it's not that bad, but it seems a bit out of character.

We're gonna give Julia a free pass though. It's cold in New York this time of year and you have to layer. Plus, she has toddler twins and a baby. She's too busy to color coordinate!

Jenna Fischer looked....pleasant at the Los Angeles premiere of Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Is it just us, or does her dress, hair and makeup make her look a lot older than she actually is? The Escada dress is perfectly lovely, but Jenna should have asked her hair stylist for a sleek updo to make her look more modern.

Sadly, this is not the first time Jenna has been on the bottom of the fashion pack.

Abigail Breslin was adorably age-appropriate at the premiere of National Treasure: Book of Secrets. There is NO way we were that stylish at her age. And we didn't learn how to get our hair to look that perfect until at least... I'm still not sure it looks that perfect.

Red with magenta? She's a fashion genius!

Former fashion model and star of the new film, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Diane Kruger showed up to the film's NYC premiere looking amazing. Her dress is so commanding and romantic and we love the tassels. We have to wonder if she's a bit overdressed for the occasion. Maybe we're just used to seeing too many casual outfits at movie premieres. She wears it well anyhow!

National Treasure: Book of Secrets opened nationally on December 21st.

The Hills starlet, Whitney Port recently hosted the "Clinique National Happy Day" at Bloomingdale's in New York City. Could they not get Lauren Conrad? Just kidding. We love Whitney actually. And she looks great in this Clinique-Happy-Orange dress. Whitney's so tall and slender, she can pull of a lot of the runway trends - like mid-calf boots with a dolman-sleeve dress and chunky bangle.

The Clinique Absolutely Happy gift set includes a perfume spray, body wash, body butter and a travel size perfume spray and is available at bloomingdales.com for $70.

Lauren Bush launched her Feed 1 bag at Harrods in London. The purchase of the bag feeds one child in need for one school year. Getting the bag sold in Harrods is pretty big, especially since the Anya Hindmarch I'm Not A Plastic Bag has reined supreme in London this past year.

With an estimated 400 million hungry children worldwide, Lauren is looking to sell a lot of bags. These would make excellent holiday gifts by the way. The money goes to a more-than-worthy cause and you get a great-looking re-usable bag - perfect for toting groceries.


The World Food Programme Feed Bag costs $59.95 at amazon.com.

Keira Knightely wore Rodarte to the L.A. premiere of her newest movie, Atonement, a performance she's earned a Golden Globe nomination for. Could a second Oscar nomination be in the works? In addition to acting awards, Keira tops our list for brilliant red carpet style. She consistently mixes daring fashion with classic accessories (like Chanel) to a great effect.

Check out the girls of Rodarte's daring designs at Rodarte.net.

Hayden Panettiere showed up to the Z100 Jingle Ball in New York City looking near perfect. There's not much to say actually. Hayden's look is textbook and is pretty near flawless. In fact, we have to wonder if Hayden read this entry on StyleBakery.com before shopping for this ensemble.
