Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

There's this adorable belt I found from Hyde. It's black with white accents that form a bow in the middle and it's made to fit at your stomach, not around your waist. Super cute (see title link)!

Rihanna's style

I love this tuxedo on Rihanna. The Dolce & Gabbana design is absolutely fabulous, and she pulls it off so boldly, shown here at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala in New York City. If you've got the cash, get one yourself (see title link)!

Soda!

I love these Joop boots from Soda (in Tan, not Berry, as shown). They're cute knee-highs with unique kitten stacked heels to keep you comfortable and supported. The 2 buckles are nice and oversized, giving the look a modern touch. Get them now (see title link!)

Speak out against domestic violence

A worthy cause supported by an inspiring woman. Reese Witherspoon is endorsing the Empowerment Bracelet, a $3 piece from Avon which aims to help women suffering from domestic abuse feel empowered. It's the brand's first global charity product, and hopes to improve ladies' lives across the world. According to the brand ambassador, "The first $500,000 from bracelet sales will be matched by the Avon Foundation for a total donation of $1 million to UNIFEM, the United Nations Development Fund for Women." With its silvertone infinity symbol and blue stretch cord, it'll fit just about anybody, and 100% of its proceeds go to the Avon Empowerment Fund. It really is all good (see title link).

Beyonce Couture

Beyonce is often Sasha Fierce, her alter ego, in concert, but she's a superstar no matter where she is. Check out her style from her LA concert this summer, where she dazzles in Thierry Mugler. He emerged from retirement to design her tour fashion! Now THAT screams diva!

Hanes to the red carpet


Miley Cyrus is by no means one of my favorite people, but I applaud her effort to exude an affordable image at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards in LA. Miley strutted her stuff wearing a simple $6 Hanes Tank (see title link). I adore the Hanes Women's Authentic TAGLESS Stretch Cotton Tank Top. It's boyish edgy yet fits girly curves with the fine ribbing and shapelier silhouette. Keeps you cool in the summer, feels soft on your skin, and the ribbed binding trims the neck and armholes. You'll look so sleek that you'll be wondering why YOU'RE not on the red carp

Star-ring


Yup, I'm actually talking about a star Ring. Like this Sterling Silver Double 2 Star CZ Ring from Kit's Jewelry & Perfect Presents! For just $39.99 you get a beautiful piece of jewelry that comes in sizes 5-9 (see title link). I've even seen a similar one on Miley Cyrus' hand.

Tampax Pearl


I'm not one to encourage tampon use, but I've heard these are the best in the industry. Tampax Pearl Regular Unscented include all the basics: a smooth plastic applicator and rounded tip for comfortable insertion, contoured Anti-Slip Grip to make the applicator easy to hold and position, width-wise expansion to fit your unique form, an absorbent Built-in Backup® Braid to help protect against unexpected leaks, and discreet and durable wrapper with easy-to-open tabs. Barring all the risks, you might as well get the best (see title link) for $4.99. For regular flow and absorbency.

Party must-have?

I LOVE this Incredibly Dash Clutch from Urban Expressions. For just $38 (see title link), you've got a simple but totally glamorous accessory for your outfit. By New Year's Eve, you'll be the talk of the evening. The Purple shade is simply regal. It's made of synthetic leather, so animal lovers need not stay away. The twistlock and buttoned closure made of gold tone keeps your belongings safe, and the interior features two open pockets AND a zipper pocket. What more do you need?

Flirty underwear?


Flirtitude is a great brand available at JCPenney. It sells underwear for teen girls. This Cotton Lycra Lace Bikini will make you feel comfortable and hot at the same time. Turn the flirt all the way up, especially in the Red White Big Dot shade (left). Although it's normally priced at $7.50, it's on sale right now for just $5.25 (see title link). What a steal!

The Jessica Simpson Collection is a great brand, especially for handbags. Jessica Simpson is a style star and it shows in her designs (see title link).

Sparkly halter vests are great for such a dreary, icy season (see title link). Glam out your wardrobe!

Layered look

This BCX Dress is a beautiful Two Tone style from Macy's. The layered look dress with studded belt is just $24.99 right now, on sale from its original $49 price (see title link). It really is, like the website says, a fusion of bubble-gum-pop and rock-and-roll. The belt is at the natural waist and the fuschia skirt is as full as possible. Perfect for a holiday party!

Classy and Classic

XOXO Jeans are known for being hot, but the Skinny Tuxedo model takes the top spot (a little rap I just tried to make!). They can look classy-formal because of their satin waistband, but the rhinestone studs all over can make them a total denim classic. Plus, thanks to a sale at Macy's for one day only, they cost just $29.99 instead of the usual $49 (see title link). What are you waiting for?

Converse

The Converse All Star Lo Rainbow Dogs in Black is one of the most unique pairs of sneakers I've ever seen at Journeys (see title link)! The canvas upper adds quality icing to the cake. Just $49.99 online!

Tights
























Good thing tights are in this season. They're such a cheap alternative to pants that you're wallet will be overflowing with extra money this winter! These tights from Hue, called the Opaque Tight model in the Basic Color of Black, is an upscale variety, and even then, costs just $12.50, or even 2 for $20 if you buy them in doubles (see title link)!

I found a cute shirt from Lulu's that is only available online (see title link). You can use this $19 black tee for just about any occasion, from school to a party to wherever else life takes you. Basic black is perfect!

Glammin' it up...

Add bling to your Friday night-out look by adding this Luxuriant Bracelet Set from Forever 21 stores (see title link). These bracelets come in a set of seven and cost just $6.80. The faux pearl and rhinestone combination look absolutely gorgeous, and the elasticity is convenient for all sizes. Check it out!

Wii

The We Cheer 2 Game from Wii is great for kids and tweens. Rated E for Everyone 10+, it lets up to 4 players perform to 30 songs, build their own squads, and customize their uniforms (and even accessorize! omg). From Bandai Namco Games, it's sure to be a hit. So show your team spirit by joining the squad (see title link)!

Lips for Charity

Yes to Carrots Delicious by Day Kit is a $13 gift available at Target and a 4-pc. Lip Set which gives to charity. An unknown percentage of the proceeds are donated to the Yes to Carrots Seed Fund, which benefits organic gardening in disadvantaged communities (see title link). Out of these 4 lip glosses, I personally like the C Me Blush Cotton Candy Lip Tint (third from left). Used for Normal Skin, it's Paraben-Free.

UGG for kids!

Mini-sized UGGs are the cutest. That's why UGG Australia 'Classic Short' Boot is a perfect holiday gift (especially in the Toddler size, which fits kids 2-4 years old!). The boots are lined with genuine sheepskin to keep moisture away and leaving kids walking comfortably. The shoe is absolutely adorable in Black. It has a suede upper and EVA sole. For $89.95, you'll have the perfect present for the winter (see title link) so get to Nordstrom and pick up a pair!

Cleansing is the first step...

Clinique Liquid Facial Soap in mild for dry combination skin is the first step in Clinique's 3-Step Skin Care System. Without stripping those protective lipids from your skin, it prepares it for exfoliation with an easy transition. The pump is so convenient; it never dispenses too much or too little. Buy it for just $15 (see title link).

My Life. My World. My Decree.

A budget-friendly way of getting cute jeans from department stores. This Decree Shredded Jean was $24.99 when I first found it (right now it's $29.99 online). These skinnies are chic without being too tight, and there's the standard five pockets, fly front, and decorative stitching on the back two. They're faded, they're ripped, they're hopelessly cool (see title link). Check out the Shredded Slim Fit Jean now at JCPenney!

Move over, Abercrombie...

Everyone's always raving about those Abercrombie models. At the risk of sounding ridiculous, has anyone checked out the Southpole ad campaigns? They hold a contest each year to model for them, and last year's male winner, Yansen, is HOT (see title link).
