The Slimming Effect: Part 1 2007-06-25 15:11:00 Let's celebrate the new, sunny season in soft easy shapes, saturated color and brazenly, bold patterns. It's a wrap: A wrap dress is the most figure-flattering dress around, especially for those of you who have a little meat on your bones. (So, all reedy models need not apply!) The cut both reveals and conceals, easily skimming your shape, defining your waist and enhancing your bustline. I love the versatility of a fully functioning wrap dress and with these hot picks, I hope you will too.Left to right: Crossover dress with belt; $27.80 at forever21, Wrap dress with belt; $22.80 at forever21, Venezia Surplice dress; $19.50 at Wet Seal, Floral wrap dress; $22.80 at forever21The bare necessities: The slip dress is a delectable choice that’s gotten even easier to wear with the introduction of looser cuts, varying hemlines and adjustable spaghetti straps. Try a fabulously trendy maxi version for the ultimate cool cover-up, or a flirty mini babydoll when you want to flash those gorgeous ...

Polished Professional 2007-06-22 19:24:00 Getting dressed for the office doesn't mean you have to leave your personal style behind. Not convinced? Check out how some of your favorite celebrities rock a conservative look and still manage to look fabulous.Guidelines to looking polished:Color: Color plays a BIG part in your professional image. Traditional career colors include red (aggression), navy (trustworthiness), gray (conservative), and black (chic). Loud colors like hot pink and wild prints are too risky for the office and are better left for after-hour fun.Jewelry: Dangly jewelry is too distracting. Opt for studs or single bracelets instead.Handbags: Slouchy, hobo bags look sloppy in the workplace. Choose a more structured style to project an organized image.Fit: Fit is everything when it comes to your work attire. Pants should be fitted and panty line free and skirts look best in an A-line style. Jackets should be loose enough to be buttoned, if necessary, and blouses shouldn't gap between buttonholes.Remember: Project ...

Lite Brite 2007-06-20 14:11:00 No, not that light-up game from our good 'ol childhood days! I'm referring to another color favorite donned by some of our favorite celebrities. It's none other than, bright yellow!Above: Beyonce leaving a party in London earlier this month.Above: Rihanna poses during her TRL appearance on June 4, 2007.Above: Rosario poses for the cameras during the "Death Proof" photocall in Cannes on May 22, 2007.These days, it seems like every other item you see on clothing racks are bright, bright yellow.

Make like Rihanna and don a pair of bold, yellow skinny jeans or make like Beyonce and Rosario and rock a bright yellow dress with neutral accessories to obtain this fabulous look without going overboard. ...

Hit or Miss: Chandra Wilson 2007-06-18 14:29:00 The doctor was in... but, was Chandra's look? Chandra Wilson of Grey’s Anatomy’s took over the red carpet to host SoapNet's pre-show special for the 34th Annual Daytime Emmys. She addressed many of the small screen stars by their infamous characters' names, however I'd much rather address her ensemble for the evening. The color looks gorgeous against her caramel complexion but, the ruching at the bottom makes the gown so unoriginal. Also, her hair and accessories aren't the best either. Sorry Chandra, but this look is a MISS for me. What do you guys think of Chandra's look. Love it? Hate it? ...
