I have mixed feelings about over the knee boots. When they inch up to your thighs, it can look a little risqué but with the right balance of outerwear on top  it can work. To carry off the tall/thigh high boot look, follow three simple rules.

1. Don’t draw attention to the rest of your outfit and let the boots be the only eye-catching piece of the ensemble.

2. Wear a cropped jacket or a basic pea coat to off-set the risqué factor of over-the-knee boots.

3. Try a color other than black when buying over-the-knee boots so that people wont associate them with trashy ones.

Blake Lively is lucky. Not because she has killer legs and a great body, but because this great body of hers makes almost any outfit look amazing on her. Her long, lean frame carries this formal little black dress just as well as it did the outfits she wore for her trashy role in the film The Town. This Antonio Berardi LBD looks better on her than it did on the model at his runway show. Judge for yourself!

Rachel Bilson is a steady contender in all of the top fashion sites as well as tabloids. She has that All American Girl appeal while keeping a sharp stylish edge and isn’t afraid to wear new and daring outfits. She usually wears her hair flat-ironed straight or totally unkempt. The messy “I don’t care” look has been her recent signature hairstyle so seeing her with beautiful spiral curls was a welcome change. She looks great with big loose curls falling around her chin and neck and the highlights look perfectly grown out. Rachel, loose the flatiron, keep the curls!

Miley Cyrus wore a beautiful white Marchesa dress to the American Music Awards on November 21, 2010. The short white dress with violet streaks had a giant bow in the back from which came out a long train about 6 feet long. The dress is gorgeous and couture but for some reason it also looks a little bit like a trashy “Vegas” wedding dress on Miley. What do you think?

There has been a lot of speculation and some people will even swear that the Gossip Girl character of Blair Waldorf is based on socialite Olivia Palermo. Blair and Olivia both come from money (lots of it), are always impeccably polished, will never be seen without perfect hair and power hungry, as we know about Olivia from seeing her on the TV show, The City. After seeing the photos below it is hard to deny that Blair is a reflection of Olivia and that Leighton Meester was cast for the role based on how similar she looks to Olivia Palermo.

Cindy Crawford’s beauty line, Meaningful Beauty has been around for 5 years but you may not have heard much about it. Well that is about to change. The products, about to hit the shelves at the Sephora outpost in JC Penney on October 4th, 2010 will surely cause a stir.

Cindy hosted a cocktail hour for bloggers in NYC last week to talk about her beauty line and give a sneak preview of what is new with the brand. Dressed in a jaw-dropping Roberto Cavalli dress to give us a bit of the “supermodel” who she is, she spoke about the inspiration and science behind the products, her long history and personal relationship with beauty genius and collaborator Dr. Sebagh (who is personally responsible for how beautiful her skin is at the age of 44) and answer our beauty questions like “have you ever done botox?”. The answer to which was yes by the way and I admire her for being honest.
