Designer Prabal Gurung is definitely having his moment. From Demi Moore, to Leighton Meester, to Thandie Newton, the young designer’s looks have been popping up all over Hollywood and the red carpet.
Above is one of our favorite looks, seen on Thandie Newton at the 2012 premiere,from Gurung’s Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection. We love the black and white print and the sleek black trim along the edges. Even with the print and the bow the look is still simple and chic.
We’ve been salivating over Rachel Bilson’s atlantic blue motorcycle jacket from Harlow-Monroe ever since we first laid eyes on it. Even though it sold out (why wouldn’t it with Rachel as its spokesperson), we have decided to take her fashion cue and buy a standout Fall jacket in a bright hue.
When it comes to the CW’s Gossip Girl we must admit we can’t decide whether we’re more excited for the drama or the clothes. With each new season the characters’ personal style seems to evolve, and in turn, to inspire a thousand trends.
We’re currently enamored with Taylor Momsen’s character Jenny Humphrey’s style. Jenny adds flair to basic looks with her rocker chic pieces. We fell hard for her Catherine Malandrino leather motorcylce jacket and the studded Garbo Satchel by Be & D seen above.Though worn by a teen on the show, these gems could spice up any adult wardrobe. We love these Jenny inspired pieces!

Our plan is simple. If we can’t date Robert Pattinson, we’ll dress like him.
Is it just us, or is there a new celebrity revealing her stunning new bikini body on the cover of People magazine every week? From Valerie Bertinelli to Tori Spelling, everyone is flaunting a new trim figure for all the world to see. We’ll let you in on a little secret: there’s more to those newly svelte bodies than just daily exercise and switching to healthier snacks - and we’re not talking about plastic surgery and Photoshop.
Celebrities know the power of good lighting, fake tans, strategic posing and the importance of a figure flattering swimsuit. Here are 10 tips to help you get a better bikini body in an instant:
1. Get a faux tan to help cover imperfections and look thinner. Find out our top 10 sunless tanners.
2. Use a good cellulite / toning cream like the Slim City Set from Bliss.
3. Groom yourself (don’t let this happen to you!)
4. Exfoliate and moisturize for smooth glistening skin.
5. Find the perfect swimsuit that flatters your figure.
6. Stand tall - good posture and a confident attitude can help you drop 5 pounds instantly.
7. Drink lots of water and avoid salt to help reduce bloating.
8. Do a few stomach crunches and push ups before you hit the beach to minimize jiggles.
9. You’ll often see celebrities wearing leg-lengthening heels when they wear their bikinis. Not so easy for the average woman to pull off, but there’s nothing wrong with a beach-worthy wedge sandal to make you look a little leaner.
10. Choose a cover-up that plays up your assets. Thin legs? Wear a tunic. Great collarbones and shoulders? Wear a tube dress.
