What's In ~ FashionWatch 4

Welcome back. Let's take a look at what's hot with celebs this week.

1. Van Cleef & Arpel's Necklace. Reese Witherspoon wears it with everything: tank tops as well as blouses. Paris has one too. On the official website the price is not listed but I would guess that this one is not something I can afford. Van Cleef & Arpel's is a very high-end jeweler and that's what makes the necklace so popular with Hollywood celebs. There are quite a few replicas that look almost exactly like the real thing, the necklace runs about $70 here.
2. ChloƩ Quilted Bay Tote. Mischa Barton loves hers. Black quilted leather with white stitching and gold-tone hardware makes this tote a must-have. BergdorfGoodman.com has this purse for $1,635.00. A cheaper look-alike may be found here for$50.
3. Peace-Sign Earrings.
These have been
seen on Joss Stone, Lindsay Lohan and even Minnie Driver. I'm all for peace on Earth and you can most definitely make a statement with these. For $15 you can get a pair here.

What's In ~ FashionWatch 3

The third installment in the series.

1. Marc Jacobs Aviators. These are great. Both Jessiaca Biel and Ashlee Simpson Love them. The red frames make them pop giving the aviators a new twist. At Nordstrom these go for $260, but Amazon has a pair just like these for $12.

2. Bib-Front Dresses. Dresses like the Bib Front Dress by 3.1 Phillip Lim at PinkMascara are a must-have today. Lindsay Lohan and Victoria Beckham have them. At $437 they can afford them, but many of us would rather go for this one at Forever21 at $30.

3. Gray Boots. We've seen them on everyone from Eva Longoria to Beyonce. The designer ones go for up to $1,000, but you can get a pair for $30 on eBay.

What's in ~ FashionWatch II

My second post in the FashionWatch Series. Let's see what celebs are obsessing about now.

1. Marc Jacobs Sunglasses. Drew Barrymore has been spotted wearing these all over the world promoting her new movie Music & Lyrics. I'm not sure if I'll be willing to pay $150 for a pair of shades, but Target has a pair for $12.99.

2. Lanvin "Kansas" Tote. I honestly find this bag in either brown or black grain leather to be very cute and practical. The price tag of $1,865.00 through Barneys - not so much. Amazon has a much cheaper version that's just as cute.

3. Stuart Weitzman Flats. These are pretty. Really pretty. Would I pay $225.00 for them? Ummm...NO! Here you can get a pair for $40 that are almost as pretty.

What's in ~ FashionWatch

This is my first post on beauty and fashion and what's in right now. I'll try to do this weekly, maybe more often if I run into something worth noting. Check these new trends out:


1. Initial Necklaces. Remember those were popular a few years ago, well, they're back. In Hollywood they score diamond studded ones, but here you can get a look-alike for $19.99.
2. Animal Print. I've seen it everywhere - shoes, purses and even coats. I'm not sure if you will ever see me in leopard print coat, but I will most definitely score some leopard or zebra print shoes. How about these pumps from Target for only $29.99?
3. Bright Purses. With spring and summer just around the corner, bright colors are essential. Celebs are in love with their bright Balenciaga "Motorcycle" purses. A splash of color can bring any outfit to life. Urban Outfitters has a wide variety of shapes and colors, this one is my favorite.
4. Body Scrubs. Winter is coming to an end and our skin needs a boost to get it ready for the spring. Body scrubs work wonders! The best one I have found is the one from The Body Shop, the Cocoa Butter Body Scrub. It is infused with ground rice, almond, and soy oil, which will moisturize your skin into tranquility. Also, Cocoa Butter is great to treat skin that's prone to stretch marks and cellulite.
5. Nautical. This summer get ready for a mix of playful details and sailor-girl style. Bright, bold patterns are great; however you have to know how to pull them off. If you do a pattern on a skirt, try to go for a solid color on top with a necklace around your neck. The solid color doesn't have to be matching to the pattern, you might be better off with a contrast. Old Navy and American Eagle have a wide variety to choose from.
Tune in next week for more!
