pony up!

it looks like the 'do to do tonight at the emmy's is the pony tail, be it high, side chignon or slicked back, the girls walking the carpet are all about it. add a trendy one-shoulder gown in white or navy blue and you've got award winning style! I dressed my good friend lisa anne hillman, whose husband jon corn is nominated for 'curb your enthusiasm' in a chloe & reese cocktail gown paired with a mix of harry winston and ny & co. jewels. talk about high brow, low brow. I tried to convince her cutie hubby to rock the converse on the carpet with his tux, so time will tell if he did it or not... keep a style eye out! xo.

how to develop your eye for fashion

#overit

the past year has proved that I am OVER jeans. totally over it. I can't find a good pair to save my bum and I've tried them all!? joes, seven, paige, target brand... skinny, wide leg, boyfriend... nothing fits well enough to look nice and as a result I've declared denim dead! that is, until today... I have a levi's curve ID event to hit in the lower broadway levi's location. they say they can measure my curves and customize a perfect pair of jeans. we'll have to wait and see....

a faux-ll must have.

fur is the rage for this fall and a must have for your closet. if you're like me and you like a little faux with your pelt, net-a-porter has an ultra luxe selection.

you can dance. for perspiration.

I have been wearing the same sports bra for five + years. its pretty gross. I've recently been turned on to bodyrock sport by kelly dooley and my fitness life has not been the same. kelly, is a professional triathlete and fashionista so you know girl works it out when she's working out. for funsies, she created the worlds most expensive sports bra, the trenta. get yours here.

a vote for levi is a vote for stupidity!

levi johnston is a tool. have you heard he is running for mayor of wasilla? for a reality show? ummm, yeah. read more facts I dug up about this guy here: http://www.bettyconfidential.com/ar/ld/a/the-truth-about-levi-johnston.html

designer to watch

move over gaga, there is a new girl on the block. nicki minaj is the latest fashion trendsetter to hit the hip pop scene. so, when girl stepped out on the red carpet in melody ehsani, you know this is a brand designated to watch. born and raised in los angeles to a persian family, melody cut ties with her culture to follow her couture dream. and with amazingly chunky, funky accessories and shoes, it looks like miss thing is self expressing her desire to rule the runway.

Glam God: Supertrailer
press play on that link above. I co-host realitywanted on CBS radio every wednesday from 6 - 8pm. last night we have shante & jamie from vh-1's money hungry on as guests. they were super cool girls which had me nostalgic for the gays on my VH-1 style compeition show, glam god. interesting times for sure.

CBS Early Show is cooler than you

last week I was taken by surprise when the CBS early show hit on a trend that most young, hipster ladies are seen wearing on the brooklyn L train -- the granny shoe. I was so impressed with the fashion forward piece that I had to blog the world. or at least the massive australian audience on lostateminor who also coincidentally created that other ugly boot, uggs.

(A)ll (D)ay (I) (D)ream (A)bout (S)ex

maj and I were overwhelmed by the response left by friends on our FB vacation pix. I even got a call from my stylish friend, phu asking advice on what are appropriate gifts for a guy on a one year anniversary? I gave my man, a full adidas originals tracksuit in green. while not romantic, it was super cool and something he always wanted. watches, sunglasses and cologne are also great gifts for a significant. alpha in west hollywood is a great place to pick up a guy's gift. and any barney's or barney's co-op will have the hook up on luxury wallets, socks, weekend bags and ties.

I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom

I love the scene in mean girls, when amy poehler makes hump day happy hour drinks for her teenage daughter and friends (little did we know that lindsay lohan was actually drinking the stuff) securing her status as a "cool" mom. What is a "cool mom" anyway? To me, its a woman who cares for the well being of her child and has the tips, tricks and not always savvy know how to support a growing human. Enter Daphne Brogdon. This comedian-cum-TV Guide hostess is a mother to two children and step-mother to another three and has taken her role of mother to the next level. She created Coolmom.com as a cool place online that offers a blog for mothers of all stages to post, rant and laugh at the little things. plus, there are adorable videos featuring Daphne and her kids which are a must see, coz that bitch is funny.

amazing weekend getaway on the cheap

it was me & maj's first year anniversary this past weekend and since I had been traveling for the past three weeks to boston, los angeles and miami on business, I wanted to spend some quality summer snuggle time with my man. I got home from the miami swimshow on wednesday night and thursday morning we were off and running. a $17 chinatown bus from nyc to DC has us visiting family and eating yummy soul fusion food at creme on U street. friday morning we picked up our enterprise rental and headed to the outer banks, north carolina. our adorable no frills hotel, ocean house motel at milepost 9.5 in kill devil hills was a perfect hideaway with great prices. I rocked my bikini thief zuma in black on the beach as we baked our Mediterranean skin. we ate a ton of DQ blizzards (mine, cookie dough & his, heath bar), delicious fish at mako mike's, putt putt at sunset and an incredible sunset ecology tour with captain lenny of soundside adventures to watch the purple martins descend on the manteo bridge. we were in the car, sunday morning, bellies filled with grits and bad coffee from stack 'em high to make the five hour trek back to DC. we got to our destination with just enough time to catch my 6pm appearance on TV Guide Channel's Fashion Team (which I rated a solid A -- video post to follow soon). a veggie chinese dinner in chinatown DC capped off our amazing weekend. naps on the bus had us in NYC early morning and in bed to dream of Dairy Queen.

silly jessie, bands are for kidz

it took me a trip to miami and a lost mission on lincoln road to finally succumb to the hottest trend that's hit the out of school streets: silly bandz! not only did I buy several packs to rock, I've paired them with my fave gold bangles and lisa blue whale charm bracelet. I'm so smitten, I'm even considering taking a pic to post to their famed website wall.

from miami fashion week: trend alert

the fashionistas and miami scene showed up in support of their miami fashion week and new trends were en fuego! most lovelies in the front row at the kelly cutrone-called shows were decked out in flow-y dresses with a spectrum of rainbow colors and pretty, soft graphics. color is the color du jour. the cutie pictured above got her right on trend find at h & m so the fashion elite is available for everyone! the swimwear for 2011 follows the same suit with bold colors and busying prints, with lisa blue, beach bunny and of course, bikini thief being the names to watch!

day one

me & bikini thief maven, whitney andresen are rockin' down in miami in booth 554 at the miami swim show 2011. in the last 24 hours, we've seen the kardashians (and their asses - I'm still bowled over by it) hit miami fashion week, got stuck in two major downpours, feasted on blue cocktails and had our heads spin by the worldof swimwear at the swimshow. its day one and we had a blast with our model, katya more. she's the sweetest. and I absolutely loved the look of the new york buyers and press. you can always tell a state by its style. and new yorkers do it best.

miami nice

fresh off the plane from shooting the tv guide segment on maternity swimwear (which will air sunday, july 25 at 6pm -- keep you posted!), designer whitney andresen and I are headed to miami to rep the freshest bikini line ever, bikini thief at the miami swimshow. if you're in the area, stop by our booth. deets in the invite above.

the secret sex life of cristiano ronaldo

...ok, so hottie #1 footy star cristiano's sex life is anything but secret, that said, look at the fun I uncovered about him in my latest on betty confidential.

whatever lola wants

I'm totally obsessivo with the pint-sized offspring of the most influential performer of my time. ms. madonna ciccone has created a mini fashion mogul in her thirteen year old daughter, lourdes aka lola leon. the material girl collection will be out in macy's come august and I for one am totally ready to live in her world.
