Star Style For Less - Hillary Duff's Color Punch!

Hillary Duff was seen in an event in Beverly Hills in a Diane Von Furstenberg camisole and sleek skirt. I love the way she paired up striking colors of the top and the bright clutch with nude shoes.

DVF simply means $$$, so I recreated this look on Forever 21 budget!
Here it is - today's star style for less!

Star Style For Less - Gisele Bündchen's Sexy Chic

If there is someone who can look good in a potato sack - that someone has to be Gisele Bündchen! She has the sleek figure, long legs and the beautiful face to pull any dress off! Look how she is rocking this daring Emanuel Ungaro tweed dress!!!

This dress is simple yet daring and very very chic, but it comes with a pricetag not to my liking! So I recreated this look with a sequin skirt and some basic pieces that can be mixed with any existing wardrobe for some other look!

The Hats of Kentucky Derby!

A wide brim hat+ cluster of flowers + a haughty smile = Instant sophistication! And what better place (other than the Royal Wedding ofcourse!)  to see the amazing hats than Kentucky Derby! The hats of the derby are as famous and fabulous as the thoroughbreds of the race. A horse may be the race winner, but the whimsical hats are the Style Winner of the Derby!

Look at these hats with feathers, flowers and fun!

I have never been to the Kentucky Derby, but that doesn't mean I can't get "Hat-ed" up in my own backyard!

Until next Derby then!

Trend Spotlight - Orange Dresses!

I have been spotting the coral and orange dresses everywhere! The trend that began last fall on the runways, continued on the red carpets during the award season, and has very well transitioned into spring/summer 2011. I love the color orange, but honestly, was little apprehensive about wearing the solid orange all over. But the looks and styles below give me inspiration to get a coral or burnt orange dress for myself at my next shopping excursion! What do you say??

Summer Wardrobe Essential - Shirt Dress!

Nothing says effortlessly chic better than a shirtdress! It is comfortable, casually sexy and very versatile. I love the clean, structured, summery look that never goes out of style!

I wore the  shirtdress all through the fall and winter too though, paired with leggings and boots. But during summer the variety of fabrics and textures give shirtdress whole another dimension!
Chambary Shirtdress is a summer staple. You can add a belt or a hat to accessorize!

You can never go wrong with a white shirtdress. Its simply a classic! Wear it with flats for a casual look or with high heels for that extra dazzle!

For a more formal affair, don a shirtdress made out of silk or satin! Its still casual yet sophisticated enough to wear in the evening!

Plaid shirtdress is one of my current favorites as you can obviously see:-) For a careless chic look, it never misses the mark! If you don't care for plaid, you can get the shirtdress in print too.

Summer Dress Must Have - Maxi Dress

I close my eyes... imagining spring, smelling sweet fragrance of brilliant flowers, dreaming of fluffy clouds, blue skies and the beauty that is all around me, within me, surrounding me with the breathtaking lightness...Whisper of spring, promise of sultry summer days, starry nights and the the pure joy of being alive on a gorgeous day!

Maxi dresses are here AGAIN! And I am loving the variety! Plain, printed, bohemian , figure hugging, full skirt, chiffon, cotton - you name it! I love the elongating effect of a pretty maxi dress. They are the wonderful mix of casual comfort and the feminine elegance.

Although a maxi dress is pretty foolproof and can be worn in a lot many styles, but I feel pairing it with a jacket is just WRONG!! Don't believe me? Look at these celebrities who make the pretty maxi dress look so un-pretty!:-)

From Left - Helen Mirren, Rachel Bilson, Olivia Palermo

Another sure way to look good in maxi is go black and white!

So welcome the season with a maxi dress and bow to the feminine charms of it!
