amfAR at Cannes: Not Best Dressed

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Thu, 24 May 2012 23:46:00 +0000

Michelle Rodriguez, your face is basically saying how I feel about your look, except I feel like you are daring me to judge you. You don't scare me! Not from here at least. This is the epitome of the Barbie trend gone wrong. She could not look more uncomfortable.

Contrary to what you are thinking, Tamara Ecclestone is not a cast member of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. She is actually a 27-year-old billionairess and her little sister is the chick who took over the throne at the former Spelling Manor in Bel Air. For the record, I feel the same way about silver shoes with silver dresses as I do about red shoes with red dresses. Pageant patrol!

I think Tara Reid slept her way into some kind of lifetime membership at Cannes club that Phoebe Price and Victoria Silvstedt founded. She found the perfect Keep Your Heart Open necklace on loan from Kay's to draw attention away from her mother of the bride dress and up to her face to show off Snooki's new bronzer line.

amfAR at Cannes: Kiki, Heidi, Diane, Nina, Kim

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Thu, 24 May 2012 23:33:00 +0000

I hope you didn't have a burrito for lunch like I did and you can freely enjoy these perfect people in perfect dresses without remorse. They are all at the amfAR even in Cannes because that is exactly where beautiful people belong. Nina Dobrev in extremely popular designer du jour Elie Saab.

Doutzen in Versace. Unstoppable.

You knew she was going to bring out the Chanel eventually. Diane Kruger is a living doll. PS have you noticed the explosion of sparkly pumps on the red carpet this week? Position a dust buster in your closet and get ready to jump on board this trend.

Jessie J looks en fuego in a cat print slashed up gown.

Kim Kardashian is using this as an opportunity to wear what she wanted to sport to the Met Ball Anna Wintour banned her from. It is also Elie Saab and magnificent.

So many more...
Kate Upton is barbie beautiful in a lattice-patterned LV dress.

Heidi Klum gets it done in Marchesa...

...while Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman does the same. So. Many. Feathers.

Kirsten Dunst in LV. Can we stop talking about how she could be preggo? Because I find this theory to be incredibly accurately valid and it makes me want to die inside. That smile on her face is the satisfaction she'll feel when she gets publicity for being the first celebrity to register for baby clothes at Buffalo Exchange.

Milla Jovovich bends it like Beckham (Victoria Beckham) in Versace.

Petra Nemcova in another gorgeous red gown.

I completely love this Giambattista Valli gown on Berenice Bejo. Elegant but interesting.

Julianne Marguiles in L'Wren Scott. Nailed it, but a wee bit shiny in the facial quadrant.

Who was best dressed?!?

Red Carpet: AI Finale, Cannes, MIB Premiere

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Thu, 24 May 2012 18:32:00 +0000

Happy Carrie Underwood concert ticket sales day! I'll be in the audience when she takes over Staples Center in October. Last night at the American Idol finale Carrie wowed in an extremely short Badgley Mischka Orion Sequin Orbit sheath, which runs about a thousand bucks retail or you can borrow from RTR for $125 (they also have a sleeveless version). I haven't found any stores carrying it right now. Her sparkly foot candy is Jimmy Choo.

I'm going to go ahead and say that Carrie's legs look even buffer than professional dancer Julianne Hough's envious gams. Carrie is legit an athlete and a workout machine!

Jordin Sparks donned some extremely long extensions for the AI finale. She attended with boyfriend Jason Derulo in a white scalloped Kevin Hall dress.

Still lovely, but my least favorite look thus far from Diane Kruger at Cannes in Prabal Gurung. Her hotel room must be an absolute post-pillow fight style sea of feathers.

Milla Jovovich looked fabulous in a gold sequin Prada dress.

Heidi Klum returned to supermodel status in a shimmering Roberto Cavalli.

A little more causal, Kristen Bell wore an A.L.C. Madeline dress to a Coach event benefiting the Children's Defense Fund. I just got my first A.L.C. piece this week and I am in love with it! They use this print for a lot of different looks, including tops and short and my favorite, their maxi skirt.

Good vs Evil? Ali Larter wore a fitted sweetheart eyelet Dolce and Gabbana dress while Malin Akerman worked a black leather Mandy Coon mini dress.

Jenna Dewan let her Rebecca Minkoff Becky jacket and clutch be her stand-out style pieces.

Jada Pinkett Smith wore a plunging Bill Blass gown to the MIB NYC premiere last night. The always gorgeous Diane Lane attended in David Meister.

Alice Eve wore an adorned Mulberry cocktail dress while Nicole Scherzinger also wore a Bill Blass halter dress.

Kelly Ripa wore a drop waitst, voluminous skirt Miu Miu dress and some sexy sparkly Casadei pumps.

Cannes 2012: Stewart, Dunst, Kruger

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Wed, 23 May 2012 17:33:00 +0000

Kiki wore a hot pink Dior gown with black accessories to the premiere of On the Road in Cannes. She looks awesome in this, but it is always surprising to see her eliminate all the quirky from her looks...it's just not her. But these colors work on her so well (remember her best mag cover ever?), not to mention that DREAMBOAT standing next to her.

Kristen went with big hair and a high thigh slit in Balenciaga. The color is a little drab, but overall I think this works for her. If I saw her in Kiki's dress, I'd really fall over flat.

Diane Kruger has been standing out in a sea of pretty as the fairest one of all throughout Cannes 2012. Her white Nina Ricci dress and black lace and sheer purple Jason Wu dress were maximum attention-grabbers.

Love Kristen Stewart's Balenciaga trousers! She did right by pairing them with a simple top and Rebecca Minkoff blazer. Of course, this is a little casual for Cannes, but I love those pants on her! Kirsten Dunst turned up in a lovely laser-cut Dolce and Gabbana dress with Charlotte Olympia heels. Has she ever looked more like her namesake American Girl doll that with this hair?

How I feel when both of these girls look nice?

We just need Mischa to even this trio out.

Kiki arrived in Cannes with her boyfriend, Garrett Hedlund (still in shock). Kristen's boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, all made his way to the festival. If you could take one of these guys for your own, would you pick Garrett, Rob, or Joshua? Let's hear it.

Diane dined with her boyfriend and friends in a Versus cocktail dress and no makeup on a moment off from playing dress up.

I need to also make mention of 18-year-old model Barbara Palvin who made her Cannes debut in a golden Valentino gown and simple hair and makeup. Isn't she stunning?

DON's Delight: Random LOLs

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Tue, 22 May 2012 20:15:00 +0000

Because it is a slow news day, here's some stuff I liked.

I feel like I would really, really enjoy watching this sport with some beers.

For those of you obsessed with YOLO...

Red Carpet Potpourri: Stam, NicRic, Underwood, Sparks

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Tue, 22 May 2012 18:15:00 +0000

Nicole Richie wore a Emilio Pucci mullet dress to the Fifi Awards. Long sleeve dresses are quite the trend right now! When I first saw this I thought, "She's preggo again!" but then I remembered she had a boob job.

Michelle Monaghan wore a slinky cut out navy Halston maxi dress. Do you like?

Mariska Hargitay took a night off from all her babies to attend the Fifi Awards. She is on board for another season of Law and Order: SVU, something I thought may not happen with the loss of Stabler and after adopting 2 babies within the past year. Glad she is able to make it work for us fans!

Jessica Stam in Marchesa. I can't say I understand her hair color choice right now, but she looks amazing in anything she wears.

Carrie Underwood's performance dress at the Billboard Awards was a draped Maria Lucia Hohan goddess gown.

Another knockout look from Jordin Sparks who wore a leather and silk Mason maxi dress in Las Vegas.

Jenna Dewan wore Armani to the Peabody awards with hubby Channing Tatum. The length of this dress unequivocally lands it in the "bridesmaid" category for me.

Petra Nemcova wore Valentino to a party in Cannes. She is once again dating her ex-boyfriend Sean Penn. Not at all clear on her taste for men like Penn and James Blunt.

Parks and Rec treated themselves to a Peabody Award. So glad this show is coming back, too, and I love that Amy Poehler is experimenting with her fashion choices a little. Do I love this look? No, but I like that she's playing.

Celeb Potpourri: Vancamp, Dobrev, Robb, Kruger, Michele

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Tue, 22 May 2012 00:05:00 +0000

Emily Vancamp wore a L'Agence dress that fit her like a second skin. Her hair is finally transitioning out of the yellow phase into a more natural blonde which I love.

Ginnifer Goodwin in Preen. I am really hoping she will get over this uber-short hairstyle soon.

This is one of Kerry Washington's less dynamic looks, but she is still completely classy and elegant in Michael Kors.

I feel like Carrie Underwood would wear a slightly altered version of this outfit on stage. Wish the sleeves weren't cropped on this sequined Zadig and Voltaire blazer Lea Michele wore en route to Letterman.

For the actual air time segment, she wore this sexy, tiny little Amen dress. My word, she is petite!

Meow! Nina Dobrev opts for super fitted and smoky eyes for a CW Upfront after-party.

AnnaSophia Robb made quite a statement in a pink sequined TFNC Paris mini dress and Alice and Olivia Laila heels, which are a fun twist on a nude shoe because they are ever so slightly pink. I have a similar shoe, the Alice and Olivia Leia heel, which works with just about everything and makes my legs look a wee bit longer in my sundresses. I think I'm going to try to recreate a slightly more subtle version of this look with the blush sequined Parker dress I got a few months ago.

Diane Kruger is slaying me with her amazing looks at Cannes. She gave us something edgier in this Balmain ensemble.

Let's end this with an eye spy. Do you notice something funny happening in this photo of Sofia Vergara shopping in Soho?

Red Carpet Moments: Theron, Roberts, Simpson, Snow

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Mon, 21 May 2012 19:40:00 +0000

A couple more photos from Cannes that require discussion. Cheryl Cole, whose style I adore, wore a striking Stephane Rolland dress with feathered train. It seems feathers are the new exposed back. Diane Kruger is a metallic goddess in Vivienne Westwood. Phenomenal.

Kim Kardashian wore Emilio Pucci to promote her perfume in London. Her makeup is uncharacteristically light...and by light I mean her eyes, lips, and mouth don't have a lot of color on them. I know she is still wearing a ton of makeup. She also looks like she ditched her extensions for once, but I can't really be sure. Do you prefer her like this? KStew did press in Mexico in Vivienne Westwood slacks, a Mario Schwab blouse, and Loub Bis Un Bout pumps. These heels are made from PVC and are undoubtedly one of the most coveted pairs of heels right now. Beyonce, LaLa, Alicia Keys, and Rihanna have all stepped out in them.

Charlize Theron continues her promo tour in a leather dress by The Row. I was actually very surprised to read that she is 36...I think because of her height and how long she's been around she was older than that.

Whitney Port, Christa B. Allen, Sarah Hyland, Brittany Snow, and Emma Roberts all attended an art show for Tyler Shields. I like Emma's look the best; her tiny Dolce and Gabbana dress has delicate details. Did you notice Brittany went redhead?

How awesome did Ashlee Simpson look at an event at the Gay and Lesbian Center in Los Angeles? She has really found a style that works for her and her fellow quirky hipsters should take notes on how to do it while still being universally appealing.

Out and About: Kardashians, LC, Reese, Taylor, Hilary

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Mon, 21 May 2012 18:07:00 +0000

The Kardashian family returned to tv last night with a new season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. While I know it is still scripted reality, I imagine the producers have their hands full addressing the perpetual issues that pop up within their family in the media. Kris, Lamar, Khloe, Kylie, and Kendall all attended a party hosted by Kylie's boyfriend Cody Simpson in Los Angeles. Kim is over in London working and spending time with Kanye. In other news, their home from the first few seasons of the show was purchased and demolished, with many of the pieces going to Habitat for Humanity...including their toilets.

Moms in colorful jeans! Hilary Duff heads out with her husband and baby Luca for time with friends. January Jones strolls with her pooch and son around her Silver Lake neighborhood.

Expectant parents Kristin Cavallari and Kourtney Kardashian run errands in Los Angeles. Kourtney was at the Farmer's Market picking up groceries with son Mason.

Reese Witherspoon cheered on son Deacon at his softball game in Brentwood. He sure looks like his daddy.

Lauren Conrad, wearing some extremely long extensions, went to brunch with her roommate and boyfriend, USC law student William Tell. Vanessa Hudgens and boyfriend Austin Butler teamed up for a workout at Crunch in West Hollywood.

Taylor Swift grabs an iced coffee at the Farm in Brentwood. Her style seems to be on the upward swing this year and I love it.

Baby Shower for KCav and Austin Recap

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Mon, 21 May 2012 04:25:00 +0000

Kristin Cavallari had her baby shower this weekend and her former Hills co-stars Stephanie Pratt and Heidi Montag were both in attendance. I remember when I was around 8 and my mom had a dinner party where two of her friends were pregnant. She did not want them to meet because they were due at the same time, but one friend looked more like Jessica Simpson and one looked like KCav and she thought it might lead to a hormonal melt down by her already weight sensitive friend. It is amazing how differently pregnancy treats women, not that one way is better than the other.

What the what is Heidi wearing? And how huge are their gift bags??

Thank you so much for all the great tips on Austin. I never take pics, but I think the bride would shank me if I shared the one video I did get of her tearing up the dance floor. We went to a reservoir to swim, floated the river with a really fun bachelor party, ate at Hula Hut and Gristmill, and did a lot of dancing on 6th Street. I had some interesting cultural experiences, from Whataburger to Strawberry soda to country fried steak and fried avocado...those last two were a little hard for me to understand since I'm a vegetarian and hot avocado holds no appeal. We stayed in an ancient house that was previously a bed and breakfast and it felt exactly like being back in a sorority house. Six bedrooms and bathrooms made it even nicer. Can't wait to make a return to Texas.

2012 Billboard Music Awards Fashion: Carrie, Julianne, Taylor, Zooey, Katy

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Mon, 21 May 2012 03:07:00 +0000

Carrie Underwood went for big drama in an Oscar de la Renta dress. We usually see her reserve looks like this for the stage while showcasing her stems on the red carpet. I think she chose this to tie into her song of the night, Blown Away.

Miley Cyrus has been working out like a champ and focused on her gluten-free diet - it certainly shows. She went pants free in a Jean Paul Gaultier blazer. The big hair and jewelry work well, but the makeup is really, really heavy. My eyebrow chick, who also does Lauren Conrad and Jessica Lowndes, dyed my eyebrows darker like everybody in Hollywood seems to be doing lately. I don't love it, but I also didn't love ombre at first so who knows. Anyway, Miley is an example of how dark brows are en vogue.

I love when Taylor Swift wears her hair straight with bangs and this sexy illusion Elie Saab dress is exactly what I've been waiting for her to step out in. Mature, provocative without being shocking, and a great color, this dress is a 10.

Jordin Sparks looks fantastic in a stunning nude DVF Zarita dress. This also comes in a smoky grey that would be killer for formal events this spring. I think I will be trying it on for an upcoming wedding! However, those shoes were such a poor choice. They don't even remotely work!

Julianne Hough. Whatever, she always looks pretty, but rarely blows me away. This Kaufman Franco dress looks like a sparkly towel and the gold shoes are too much.

Katy Perry did a great job finding a dress that has the costume-like feel she loves while remaining elegant. Her dress is by one of her favorite designers, Blumarine.

All too often Alicia Keys picks unflattering and odd red carpet choices. She chose well with her sleek Alaia long sleeved gown. I probably would have worn this in a bit cooler weather rather than mid-May in Vegas, but she looks lovely.

Zooey, what can I say? I love her, but her style feels so repetitive. Her dress is by Moschino and would have been so much improved if she ditched her requisite heavy opaque tights.

I love Chrissy Tiegan and John Legend together. She was Barbielicious in a satin Georges Chakra cocktail dress.

Modern Family hosts Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell went with very different looks. Julie has been trying a lot of different looks lately, from over the top statement dresses to sexy little numbers. Is her Doo.Ri dress an upgrade or downgrade?

DON's Deal: Austin

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Fri, 18 May 2012 13:15:00 +0000

Spring means D.O.N. is a girl on the go...this weekend it's Austin! This will be my first time in Texas other than a ton of lame layovers and I am tres excited to get the party started. Thanks to my tweeps for the "fashion" advice on floating the river...and especially the advice to drink plenty if there are going to be snakes afloat. Yikes.

Have a sweet weekend, y'all!

Stars and Bars,

D.O.N.

All Dolled Up: Chastain, Dobrev, Bilson, Stewart, Pinto

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Thu, 17 May 2012 21:33:00 +0000

Eva wore Alberta Ferretti to a dinner party in Cannes, a great start to the festival. Freida Pinto chose a sweet Michael Angel gown with a sweetheart neckline.

Marchesa is made for the red carpet and Eva Longoria wears the heck out of it, don't she?

Diane Kruger is out of this world in a pale green Giambattista Valli gown with a train that blew all around her as the wind picked up. For a photocall the day prior, she wore a maroon Versus mini dress that gives the illusion of a microscopic waist - smaller than her already tiny waist.

Yes! Another great pick from Kristen Stewart, this time in BCBG. Miss Marion in Dior looking sweet.

Smart choice made by Jaime King in wearing a blazer over her Proenza Schouler crop top and skirt. Rachel Bilson in a floaty Chanel dress to the CW upfronts. Not in love with Nina Dobrev's tight silky Dolce and Gabbana dress at Upfronts.

Versace, of course, on Freida Pinto. I think between January Jones, Vogue, and this, we've now seen enough iterations of this structured lemony dress.

One win, one fail. Jessica Chastain in a gorgeous pale McQueen, followed by a not gorgeous Dolce and Gabbana dress that looks like Minnie Mouse's evil twin or a Trashy Lingerie costume that was rejected for not enough skin showing. Your choice.

Celeb Potpourri: KStew, Charlize, January, Kim

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Wed, 16 May 2012 17:56:00 +0000

Reese Witherspoon picks up her kids from school in Brentwood. She looks great, doesn't she? First time parents Elsa Pataky, 35, and Chris Hemsworth, 28, take a stroll with their 5 day old daughter India Rose. After non-stop promotion for Avengers and now Snow White, he was finally granted a little time off to be with his very chic looking wife and new baby.

Charlize Theron makes new mom chic look easy. She wore leggings and riding boots for maximum comfort at a photocall in Berlin, followed by a Rag and Bone sweater paired with a gorgeous Alexander Wang skirt and GZ heels to the premiere party.

Look at Kristen Stewart stepping up her fashion game! Love her Preen dress with blue heels (I could so see Leighton Meester wearing this) and her 10 Crosby by Derek Lam fitted dress with a McQ belt. She looks very sophisticated and chic.

January Jones does some shopping in LA in a Heartloom maxi dress. Kim Kardashian takes off from London out of LAX. Had an interesting chat with an insider regarding the work she has had done. Not that anybody doubted it, but she absolutely has. Somebody joked, "I wonder what she will look like at 50?" I said, "Exactly like this, most likely."

Celeb Potpourri: Kiki, NicRic, Stam, Gwyneth

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:40:00 +0000

Diane Kruger and Freida Pinto arrived in France in preparation for Cannes Film Fest. I want to go to this so badly. Especially if I could go with Diane Kruger, who I can't wait to see in (most likely) some new Chanel. Freida is typically pretty chic herself.

Jessica Chastain in Heathrow. She looks sad. Maybe it's all the unkind things I've said about her wardrobe. I'd happily take her shopping if she'd only let me. Gwyneth Paltrow travels chic in skinny jeans and Isabel Marant slouchy boots.

More exciting things under the jump, I swear.

Since you hung with me through those rather dull photos, let's move on to something amazing...Jessica Stam in Valentino.

Garrett Hedlund took Kiki to a doctor's appointment. If she is preggo, so help me I don't know what I will do. They look crazy happy for a joint doctor's appointment though. Rihanna wears the most normal thing I've seen her in outside of the red carpet while out in New York. Yes, it is a mullet mini skirt, but she's working it and happy so it's a pass.

Miley Cyrus is collecting quite a hoard of puppies. Her latest is Happy, who joined her on a trip to Miami.

NicRic bundled way up with daughter Harlow and son Sparrow while out in Australia. It's been awhile since we've seen pics of her kids and they have grown up so much!

Fashion Forward: Back to Neutral

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Tue, 15 May 2012 18:39:00 +0000

Yesterday WWD declared neon to be done by Fall. After a season filled with bright jewel tone pops of color and neon accents everywhere, I sadly must agree that this trend will probably wear out her welcome sooner rather than later, petering out as the leaves change or, if you live in LA, nothing changes but I do own a calendar. Excuse me while I remove a phenom neon pink clutch from my Nordstrom online shopping cart...

So what will take the place of color? Lately we've seen a lot of ladies taking the complete opposite route and going 100% neutral. Perhaps they missed the nude gown craze of 2009-2011, reincarnating it in a more effortless, super easy chic look.

Personally, if this trend is coming, I'm happy it coincides with summer. It is really hard not to look washed out in a pale palette from head to toe, not to mention a challenge to remain spot and spill-free. That said, it couldn't be an easier trend to embrace: just avoid a solid stark white look and invest in blousy, relaxed fits, at least for your top half.

I think it works with ankle pants too and you can even retain a little color accent so your fun Spring purchases don't get dusty.

Will you be working this trend soon?

A Moment for Kate Middleton

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Tue, 15 May 2012 17:39:00 +0000

Kate Middleton literally made me gasp in this dress by none other than Jenny Packham. I think if she stops working with Vanessa Hudgens and sticks to looks for the Princess, we can have a truce. This might be the best thing I've ever seen her wear so she gets her own post. She was born for this.

The royal couple were celebrating the upcoming Olympics.

Thanks to Melissa for telling me I had to find a back pic. Wowzers!

PYTs at Upfronts: Kunis, Sigler, Deschanel, Brit Brit, McPhee

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Tue, 15 May 2012 17:35:00 +0000

Jamie Lynn Sigler brings a bold red Nonoo jumpsuit that I think I would actually happily wear to the NBC Upfront. That is a major coup. Katharine McPhee wore Dolce and Gabbana. Pretty, but a little old...which is basically her look.

Zooey Deschanel in Carven. Not into this at all. Hannah Simone did a little better in an a-symmetrical hot pink skirt.

Naya Rivera is wearing what I'm 99% sure I performed a lyrical dance routine to when I was 17. Well done, Capezio, you've broken on to the red carpet fashion scene! Yes, Lea Michele, yes! This is exactly how you should dress for big deal events. 5 gold stars for her Emilio Pucci pick.

I know she is uncomfortable, but I can only be proud of Brit Brit for breaking out a designer dress for her first Upfront. She wore Alexander Wang to promote her inaugural season of X Factor, which I will now have to watch against my will. Sigh. Mila Kunis arrived extremely casually for a panel for Family Guy.

What to Expect Premiere: Diaz, Banks, Lopez, Mara, Decker

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Tue, 15 May 2012 17:10:00 +0000

Whenever you have a lot of women in a cast, you know they are going to bring their A game to the red carpet premiere. Anna Kendrick wore a gorgeous Elie Saab cocktail dress that used sparkle and volume to do the standing out.

Typically favoring ladylike looks, Elizabeth Banks appears Mad Men camera ready in a conservative, delicate maroon McQueen frock.

Not in love with Brooklyn Decker's Giambattista Valli dress. The texture and shape just seem a little off. I'm also ready for her to ditch those depressing bangs. She does, however, look lovely in lemon.

Cameron Diaz put her trademark legs on display in a sheer and very short Valentino dress.

I'm starting to think Maria Lucia Hohan can do no wrong. Jennifer Lopez wore a gown of hers and paired with oh-so-now dark lipstick.

Expectant mom Melissa Joan Hart chose a floral printed maxi while funny lady Wendi McLendon-Covey picked a very simple sheath paired tragically with pale blue pumps.

I want to know your pick for best dressed!

Celeb Potpourri: Carrie, Kristen, Nina, Mandy, Tiz

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Tue, 15 May 2012 00:23:00 +0000

Kristen Bell goes for a bike ride in Los Angeles. She has been engaged to Dax Shepard for over 2 years now. They attended the Met Ball together, but I wonder what the pause in wedding date is about? Ashley Tisdale took note from Jessica Alba and sported neutrals and a wide-brimmed hat while shopping in Los Angeles. Love me a Birkin, but I preferred Alba's ensemble.

Miley Cyrus pulled some naughty Sandy while shopping in tight high-waisted jeans and a tube top. Liam is no Danny Zuko, but I'll take it!

Kim Kardashian dropped by the offices for a little on-air time with Ryan Seacrest. Quite formal for an early morning radio chat, no? I would really dislike dressing up this much all the time. Miranda Kerr gets in some cuddle time with her son. Her arms must be really getting buff as this kid grows up. She is always carrying him, I never see a stroller!

Miss Carrie Underwood and her husband welcomed Oprah into their Nashville home for an interview. Oprah released this pic saying everybody who loves Carrie will love her even more now.

Wowzers, are we having a Hunger Games style generation competition? Kristen Stewart went uncharacteristically over the top sexy in Marchesa for her Snow White premiere while Charlize Theron boldly wore a sexy Christian Dior. I'm still tempted to say Chris looks the best of the three anyway.

A little Mother's Day shopping for newly single Sofia Vergara. Fortunately her career seems to be so busy that hopefully the split didn't derail her too long. I'm also fairly confident she'll have no trouble finding a new man. Not typically one for simple flats, Nina Dobrev somehow manages to look like a magazine ad anyway as she shops in New York.

Mandy Moore and Emmanuelle Chriqui posed at a photo call for their new show, Tron Uprising. I can't help but notice dark skinny ankle jeans with brown belts are making the rounds (see Miranda above and Mandy here). Hmm...let's keep our eye on this. Mandy wore a colorful Barbara Bui jacket with fitted Current Elliott jeans (she works with this stylist duo on the regular like Emma Roberts) and Emmanuelle went unfortunately casual slash trashy in tight leather pants and an arm cuff. I am down with her striped Madewell top though. I keep buying up t-shirts and trapeze tanks from Madewell.

David Yurman Store Fete: LC, Emma, Kaley, Christa

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Mon, 14 May 2012 18:43:00 +0000

Emma Roberts paired a classic Valentino LBD with some too hot Valentino Fall booties. Leather studded straps twist up into bows on the sides of these naughty and nice shoes.

Her Starlight earrings in diamond pave by David Yurman really caught my eye. I'll take a pair, please and thank you.

Lauren Conrad has really been into muted colors lately. She wore a nude bow-backed blouse and beige maxi skirt, both from her Paper Crown collection. Her David Yurman bracelet is Moonlight Ice in Moonquartz.

Kaley Cuoco wore a silky black jumpsuit paired with David Yurman's Starburst necklace. This is one of her best efforts yet...if only she wore some heels. Christa B. Allen picked a dress that is too tight, a boring shade, and literal foot cages that do nothing. Such a shame since her hair and makeup is on point.

Celeb Couples MegaPost

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Mon, 14 May 2012 18:12:00 +0000

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley took her beau Jason Statham to the mall in Malibu yesterday, looking fab as always and rocking yet another Celine bag. She is totally devoted to Celine bags.

Jennifer Hudson spent some post-trial time relaxing at Six Flags. She released a statement hoping that God would forgive her mother, nephew, and sister's murderer, who was found guilty last week.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel seem to have decided they are finally ok with being seen together in public. The two attended a Lakers game where she sported her engagement ring and the two kissed multiple times for the cameras. Also enjoying some Laker bball were Kim Kardashian and her ~~fake~~ boyfriend Kanye West. I have never seen a more ridiculous outfit for a basketball game in my life.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth go for a stroll in their neighborhood, not loving the camera attention. Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are less shy while out shopping in New York.

NicRic and hubby Joel Madden pose for pics at an event in Australia, where Joel spends a tremendous amount of time working and touring. Ian Somerholder and Nina Dobrev go for a coffee date after Nina took her mom shopping for Mother's Day in NYC.

Drew Barrymore and fiance Will joined Natalie Portman and her husband Benjamin for an event for the NYC Ballet. Natalie looks out of this world in a tiered Christian Dior dress with bow accents.

Drew Barrymore opted for flue for her engagement party. Between the baby and the wedding, she is one busy lady! Vanessa Hudgens grabs goodies on the go from a restaurant near her home with boyfriend Austin Butler.

DON's Deal: Mother's Day

noreply@blogger.com (Day Old News) — Fri, 11 May 2012 15:54:00 +0000

My mama loves me, this I know...because she spent hours cleaning both my dogs after they adventured in the fresh, green burrs. Just look at that mess! But she didn't shave them or drop them at the groomer, she cleaned them up with loving care. Happy Mother's Day to my mom and all my mommy bloggers who inspire me with all that they do!

I'm off to Pismo Beach and I'll let you go ahead and think it...

"Cher, what are you doing?"

"I'm Captain of the Pismo Beach Disaster Relief."

"I don't think they need your skis."

"Daddy, some people lost everything. Don't you think that includes athletic equipment?"

Yeah, my family is headed the beautiful beach community north of Santa Barbara and just south of SLO wine country. We'll be paddle boarding (I look just like Rihanna doing it if you are mentally picturing this), wine tasting, and watching the dogs go ape on the beach. I don't know what it is about dogs and sand or snow, but it like they hit a power-up button and they take off like lightening!

Happy Mother's Day again and have an excellent Sunday.

Waves and Wine,

D.O.N.

Checking in on Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood was on Ellen yesterday and I got the request to ID her fringed leggings that she barely ever showed so I don't have a great photo for you. Here's the link to the Tylie Malibu fringed leggings if you're interested.

Looks like Miss Carrie has her weave sewn in for this trip; no in and out extensions while she travels. She landed in Arizona to catch her hubby's game. Look, more white bags! Carrie's is the Kate Spade Hadley Tote.

Methinks the boys behind her are more interested in fluffing Carrie's poof and checking out the players than the actual scoreboard.

Drama face!

I recently learned Carrie's first date with her husband was to a New Year's Eve party where they also shared their first kiss. Awwww.

PYTs: Alba, Dobrev, Moretz, Saldana, Roberts

If you are going to dive in and pay up for one of the season's most coveted bags, then you want to get a lot of wear out of it. Jessica Alba did just that with her white Proenza Schouler's PS1, taking it from day to night while continuing her fashionable tour around NYC. She also wore it Tuesday with her chic daytime safari ensemble. While shopping, she paired combat boots with a soft skirt and clip in bow, plus her trademark scarf. For a baby event last night where she was representing her business, she paired the bag with a colorful chevron Carven blouse mixed with a biz appropriate blazer and GZ two-toned heels. I am personally obsessed with getting a new white purse and definitely want one that goes over the shoulder to prevent hand contact as much as possible. You gotta work really hard to keep these babies pristine and, much like a rapper's sneakers, they are not hot once smudged at all.

All glammed up in Narcisco Rodriguez as she leaves with new Tory Burch in hand after a private shopping trip at their NYC boutique. Life is good, huh Alba? Her mustard shoes are also GZ, but this reminds me of chartreuse, which reminds me of this week's episode of Giuliana and Bill. I, like everybody else, am thrilled for their good news, but I don't think that should prevent us from discussing Bill's wardrobe this season? It's a little, how shall I say...bi-curious. The wood bead necklace really sent me over the edge.

Sine I have a new found appreciation of Nina Dobrev, let's check her out at the Grove wearing a watercolor like floral dress by Lisa Ho. This dress is from her 2012 Winter collection so it looks like we might get extended floral wear this year!

Zoe Saldana wore an uncharacteristically voluminous Elie Saab dress to a Cosmo event. She looks pretty, but I think her lithe frame looks better in slimmer cuts. Nikki Reed looks fine in Keepsake's New Beat dress, but I think it's time to sport some glam looks right about now. She is the queen of casual.

At the same event, Emma Roberts shows how it is done in a Rachel Zoe sequined striped dress. Please note all the closed toe shoes in this post and feel my heightened panic even though I can surely put this trend off until Fall. Before the event, she spent the day straight chilling in a striped maxi skirt. It was a stripey kinda day!

And my little love bug Chloe Moretz in Alexander McQueen for the London premiere of Dark Shadows which I very much want to see, but won't because I go to the movies about 3 times a year. I'm not sure why. This year I have seen Hunger Games. Before that, my last movie was The Help. I am a total freak to my industry working, movie obsessed friends.
