Cartier 100th Anniversary

Va Va Voom! Kate Hudson looks beyond incredible in this black cut-out Rachel Roy dress. She has a body of death!


Demi Moore looks chic in this black and white striped Prabal Gurung dress. Love her Cartier flower cocktail ring.


I am losing my mind over Rachel Weisz ivory and black strapless Prabal Gurung dress! I adore the striped detail on the side.


Again, I am not crazy about Eva Mendes metallic Azzaro dress but again I am crazy about her crystal Giuseppe Zanotti strappy sandals. They work so well with her dress.


I have never seen Anne Hathway in such a short and revealing dress. Her navy with lace Jill Stuart dress is enchanting but I am still on the fence on this one.


You gotta be kidding me. Jessica Biel looks beyond drab and boring. Did she just roll out of bed then got dress in the dark. Absolutely no effort what so ever.


Dr. Lisa Airan ruffled dress a little too much but I still love it especially the ruffles cascading on the back of the dress.


Susan Fales-Hill looks a little too thin for me in this black mini dress.

"Star Trek" Los Angeles Premiere

I am feeling this Emilio Pucci futuristic dress on Zoe Saldana. She looks ultra sexy in this black and silver studded dress paired with fantastic strappy peep-toe Brian Atwood sandals.


Sophia Bush looks fabulous in this black and white striped Herve Leger dress.


Leighton Meester looks amazing in this charcoal open back bow YSL dress. I simply loooooove this look!


Heidi Klum is giving me attitude! She looks great in this fringed Jasmine di Milo flapper inspired dress. Is she pregnant for real?

Fabulous Events


Dreams To St. Jude Children's Hospital

Stunning, Stunning and beyond Stunning! Taraji P. Henson looks amazing in this black tiered asymetric Angel Sanchaez dress. Taraji is letting me have it and I love it!

Chanel Iman is also giving me fever in this white belted Christian Siriano dress paired with the every so popular strappy Christian Louboutins sandals.


Jaslene Gonzalez looks absolutely gorgeous in this multi colored dress.

Veronica Webb looks like a Grecian goddess in this champaigne one-shouldered dress.

InStyle Hosts Cover Girl Jennifer Garner

Molly Sims always seems to get it right. She looks incredible in this mustard chiffon dress paired with an outstanding necklace. I would kill for this ensemble!

Jennifer Garner is so sweet and cute. She will probably bake cookies all day long if she wasn't an actress.

Women in Film's Max Mara: "Face Of The Future

Elizabeth Banks looks sensational in this cranberry Sportmax one-shouldered dress.

Swine Flu Propaganda with 70s Porn Music and Joe Biden

Here's a funny find by Jason at Sith By Sithwest, who I believe works in the health care biz, and is no doubt getting no less than 50 relatives calling him a day asking if they have the swine flu because they have a headache.



Notice that the Emmanuelle-style porn music kicks on at ~0:35 and talks about people "giving it" to everyone else. Perhaps they filmed this as an anti-STD ad first and didn't bother to edit? Also notice that the only "ethnics" in the ad are speaking jive and playing basketball. You probably couldn't get away with that nowadays. But, if you're the Vice President you can work everyone into a scare about having to wear a clean suit and live in a bubble. Must have been the GOP's fault. This is what our culture has degraded to in 2009: no funny ads, just Biden being his usual gaffe-tastic self.

No Balls Washington Times Neglects To Mention "The Sniper" Was at Milblog Conference

Why Was the Media Not Interviewing This Guy

I made it to the last milblog conference, but couldn't make it to this one due to a prior engagement. I hear some nice folks were there, and KY Woman, Tankerbabe, and the USO gals have a decent recap. The conference even got media attention from the Washington Times (h/t JP):
They are passionate, committed and courageous. They work long hours without much hope of fame or fortune. They believe in their cause and are united by a strong urge to serve the troops. These are the military bloggers who attended the 2009 milblog conference at the Westin Arlington Gateway hotel Friday and Saturday.

Many milbloggers are former or current members of the armed forces; others are spouses and parents who are familiar with the issues and want the rest of America to understand their concerns. They come from all walks of life. Yet they share a camaraderie that is instant and infectious: If you are present, you immediately feel welcome.
Thanks for the puff piece, ma'am, but those goons in the MSM missed the most important blogger there: The Sniper. Overlooking the beloved, drunken lout who brings offensive military humor to the masses is a slap in the face to offensive bloggers everywhere (a sub-genre I'm working up to). This injustice will not stand. Oh, and they thought TSO was Paul Rieckhoff. But that's just funny.

Designer Of The Week: Devi Kroell


Devi Kroell

Celebrities in Devi Kroell

Rihanna

Jessica Simpson

Devi Kroell is known for her eponymous python metallic hobo bags which was a phenomena when she launch them in 2004. Believe or not Jessica Simpson actually put her on the map by wearing her bag and buying one in every color at 2,500 a pop(you do the math)! With her music and acting career going nowhere, I am sure we will see those bags on Ebay.

Austrian-born, New York based Devi Kroell introduce her fabulous exotic skins handbags in 2004 with much success. She expanded to gorgeous funky footwear in 2006 and now the designer unveil her first ready to wear collection in 2008. Talking about ambitious!

I absolutely looooove her collection because it's chic and sweet but yet funky at the same time. Being an accessory designer at first, Devi understands the importance of a stunning bag, necklace or shoes to take a simple ensemble to the next level. The color palette was fill with neutrals injected with a splash of fuchsia.

As soon as we get in one of Devi Kroell fabulous python bags at my store, they fly off the shelf within one day. I would rock every piece in this collection!
