Angelina Jolie spoke at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York City in a black blazer and skirt suit, proving you can’t go wrong when you stick to the basics. Just take a moment to think about it….here is a woman who can afford ANY designer apparel she wants and she chooses to go with a black suit (it is probably St. John though).

Jennifer Lopez was spotted in London recently at the tail end of London Fashion Week. We love her trenchcoat/dress, but she completely over-accessorized this outfit. Everything is beautiful…but it’s too much. The bag is gorgeous, but a different shade of green makes it distracting. The bag’s brown details fight with all the black in the outfit. Love her boots, but she shows a lot of leg and no arm, thanks to her opera-length leather gloves…and that looks kind of odd. The hat is completely unnecessary. Less is more JLo. So much more.
This outfit would have worked if she lost the hat and the bag and switched out her long gloves for a pair of short wrist gloves. We think these gloves from Nordstom (in any of the colors) would have been great. Or if you prefer Jennifer’s opera-length gloves, they’re available too.
1. Chain Leather Glove, $88 at nordstrom.com
2. Opera Length Gloves, $148 at nordstrom.com
The bag would be perfect with dark wide-leg jeans and a crisp white menswear dress shirt tucked in. That would really show it off. Love the shape of the bag though…wonder who makes it?
Celebs like Angelina Jolie have been spotted carrying Gerard Darel handbags. This designer line is very popular in Europe and catching on in the United States. The Sweater Knit Satchel (like Ange’s) was availalbe at neimanmarcus.com, but has sold out. Good luck finding one! Check out the new collection at gerarddarel.fr

Angelina Jolie and little Zahara Jolie-Pitt were spotted running around town with matching handbags….Valentino handbags.
Nevermind the bag is gorgeous, how did she get a miniature version?! Is it a cosmetic case? Was it a custom order? What exactly does a two year old carry in their Valentino handbag….crayons? We’re so jealous! Seriously though, this bag is stunning. It’s the Valentino Braided Leather Shoulder Bag (Histoire Bag) and the design is so fresh and new. It’s definitely the most beautiful white bag we’ve seen in a long time. Jennifer Garner was seen carrying the bag in an equally beautiful red color. A patent red version is available at bergdorfgoodman.com for a cool $1,795 and neimanmarcus.com has a flesh colored version for $1695.

Charlize Theron was spotted wearing a Grace Sun beaded dress during the Venice Film Festival this year. The dress is from the Fall 2007 collection and is available in black ($392) at tobi.com.
We think the Lock Me Up Belt ($159), seen here on top of a Grace Sun Wrap in navy ($291) is the perfect blend between sweet and edgy.
