Nicole Richie struts the red carpet in a golden beaded vintage gown and equally glamorous makeup.

Take notes from Nicole to learn how to rock some seriously glamorous vintage style.

In recent years, Nicole Richie has definitely stepped up her style a lot. As she's matured and grown as a person, so has her individual style. She's not afraid to break free from trends and wear whatever suites her taste. Because of this, Nicole Richie is frequently on people's best dressed lists and has earned her place as a style icon in the eyes of many.

Over the weekend, Richie turned heads when she arrived at the Carousel Of Hope Ball in this incredibly gorgeous and glamourous beaded vintage-style gown. In true Nicole style, she even went with retro hair and makeup. You can get tips on how to get her look here. Designed by Reem Acra, the gown featured a deep v-neck as well as a low back, which showed off Nicole's gorgeous post-baby figure. It was also adorned with gorgeous embellishments from top to bottom.

Get Ashley Tisdale's Fall Look For Less

Want to score Ashley Tisdale-like style on a budget? Find out how to get the perfect fall outfit on the cheap.

Ashley Tisdale knows how to dress. Now you can too, with a much smaller budget in mind.

One celebrity whose style I love is Ashley Tisdale. She always looks pulled together, trendy and chic no matter what she's wearing. Now, I know that I'm not the only person living in an area that's still pretty warm out right now. For those of us who can't wait to get into fall clothing but find it's still a bit too warm, this casual and cute outfit is perfect.

Sleep in late for class? Want to run errands on your Saturday off but don't want to take the time to dress up or leave the house in sweats? Then take Ashley's lead and wear a super cute plaid blouse, mini skirt, and boot combination. I don't know about you, but I'm thinking that her hairstyle is also probably a quick cover up for hair that needs to be washed and her signature aviators will probably be around until after her morning coffee run. Just like us, Ashley Tisdale doesn't wake up looking glam and she has her lazy days too.

She probably spent a fortune to get her look, but after some browsing I found that it's quite easy to score similar items with a much smaller price tag. Try the Trixie 3Q Plaid Shirt paired with the Frayed Denim Mini, both from Forever 21. For the shoes, I went with a larger price tag and suggest trying the Minnetonka Shell Fringe Bootie from Urban Outfitters. At $58.00 they can't be called cheap, but the quality of these booties is going to make them worth every penny.

Accessorize with Aviator Sunglasses from Forever 21 that are similar to the pair Tisale is wearing, and the Savvy Silver Bracelets from Forever 21. Always staying in style, Ashley Tisdale picked up one of the large slouchy hobo bags that are trendy this fall. Check out the Mossimo Large Hobo from Target if you want to get a nice looking and relatively decent quality bag for an affordable price.

Star Style: How To Wear Wellies

logicalharmony — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 07:54:20 -0700

Getting ready to start your day only to find that it's a soggy mess outside? Slip on a pair of fashionable wellies and be on your way!

Fashion-forward celebrites show off their wellies with pride.

One of the biggest trends this year are Wellies. If the word "wellies" makes you think of jumping in puddles as a child while wearing a rain slicker, you are not alone. However, the style has persisted and has been increasing in popularity over the past year. Those who have long admired these classic rubber boots are now rejoicing at their acceptance in the fashion world. Still, it leaves the question of how to convert a childhood wardrobe staple into something that can work in an adult wardrobe. Kate Moss, Kelly Osbourne, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Pixie Geldof, and Alexa Chung show how to do just that.

As you can see, wellies can be worn with any look, no matter what your style. Go comfy and cute like Kate Moss by pairing them with your favorite skinny jeans and a blouse. Channel your retro chic style with a classic cut peacoat and little black dress like Kelly Osbourne. Tone down an otherwise chic dress and cardigan combo like Sophie Ellis Bextor. Or use them to soften the edge of a trendy leather jacket, striped top, and sassy ultra-mini or cuffed shorts like Pixie Geldof and Alexa Chung.

From basic skinny jeans, t-shirt and cardigan to a casual cotton dress paired with tights, wellies can create a unique look. There are tons of cute patterned Wellies and plain colored Wellies available at all price ranges.

Are you a fan of wellies? How do you like to wear yours?

My Opinions Suck : Adventure's with Star Magazine

Korey — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 12:47:53 -0700

Sometimes I sit around and read Star or People or OK for hours and hours repeatedly. I'm insane. I read Star last night for hours on end and decided it's time for me to share my opinions on celebrity news, gossip and fashion with the entire internet, not just Aundrea.

Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen... are nuts.

Let me start off by saying that my friend Kris heard Denise Richards on a radio show in California? She said she wanted people to know the "real her." At least that way if they "think she's a bitch, it'll be because of something she actually did." Or something like that. Anyhow, Celebitchy reports that apparently Denise's daughters Sam and Lola went to Chuck Sheens wedding where he gave them a necklace... and then promptly made them give it back because it can only be worn at his house. Not at Denise's. Like Denise has time to care about a necklace? Have you seen her show? She has like... pigs and dogs and people running around everywhere. She probably wouldn't have even noticed the necklaces if the nanny hadn't been like "Yo, Charlie said give them back."So Denise got all extra and was like "Tell him to call his lawyer" because she doesn't want to tell a 3 and 4 year old they have to give a necklace back. Why? My mom had no problem telling me to give stuff back. Does that mean she didn't love me? Probably. Thanks mom. Anyway, I feel bad for Sam and Lola. Everything their mother and father has said about eachother is PLASTERED everywhere! None of its nice and everyone who can read knows that they use those girls as a weapon. Ah to be talentless and insane in Hollywood.

Marie said I have to talk about them in a fashiony way too, which is fine. As much as I think Denise is a whackadoo, I won't lie. She's visually stunning. I don't know where or why this picture was taken, but I'd scalp her for her hair.I wish I could do this in-between blonde and brown thing.

Unless you're Juno, try not to get pregnant at 16.

Jamie Lynn Spears had her baby. They induced her. She named her little girl Maddie Briann, which I agree with... but ... uh... hey Jamie? You spelled Breann wrong. It looks like Brian with two n's. Now, I don't hate on teen mothers, but I don't condone it either. However, for being so preggo and so young? Jamie still knows how to dress. Check her out.

That orange is fantastic on her skin tone, not to mention her color combo choices are right and tight. Get it girl. Who would've known Nickelodeon orange could be a cute color?

"Do you think they're going to work... in a weird... weird way?"

"Uh yea, Aundrea.. I do. Lemme tell you why."

Social incest runs RAMPANT in Hollywood. There are a KERGILLION people in L.A. yet everyones dating someones ex boyfriend's ex girlfriend's sisters cousin twice removed or some crazy s@!t. Case in point? Benji Madden and Paris Hilton. I personally believe this couple is going to work mostly because Paris wants to be bigger and better than Nicole Richie, and Benji wants to be just like his normal twin brother. The sad fact is... in my eyes Nicole will always be bigger, better, thinner, tanner and my favoriter. My thinking is, we all know Paris isn't above dating pizza boys as long as they look Greek as hell. (Me too Paris, me too.) So, why can't you date someone who isn't DIRECTLY related to someone Nicole is dating? I mean... it's like they're physically dating the same person. Can you say Single White Female Nicole? Watch out for them stilletos, she'll put them shxts right in your eye.

I know I'm supposed to talk about their clothing or something, but I can't bring myself to do it. She's obviously one of those girls who changes their style to match their boyfriends, like a certain uh... someone I know that we've been discussing for months on end, you're not cute. Anyway, I'm all for thinkin your mans/womans style is cute (depending on what you're into), and I'm all for picking up some style from said mansies/wimmins, but COMPLETELY going from Barbie to crappy tween punk? Rediculous.

The Universe has a way of letting you know some stuff.

This made me LOL real hard, MSNBC said that some fifty year old woman is suing Victorias Secret because a metal detail on a thong snapped off and hit her in the eye. This is what I call a message from The Universe. It's telling you fifty year olds shouldn't wear thongs. Der. Peep the report.

No, Lily Allen, no.

Lily Allen... what the hell is wrong with you? I adore you. I want to be your best friend. Unfortunately I'd be embarassed by your wig at all those events we'd go to. I can't hate too hard, since she's one of my favorite people in the world. But c'mon. You're not Audrey Kitching, it doesn't work. You look like one of those demented characters on a kid's show on TLC real early in the morning.

WRONG.

RIGHT. (Audrey Kitching)

I have a way poor body image.

So, someones always discussing Nicole Richie's weight. Personally I think she's looked fantastic through the entire thing. Way skinny, pregnant and glowing, "curvy" after pregnancy, and now way skinny again. I keep seeing stuff about her being "unhealthy" again, maybe she's a. naturally skinny, b. too busy to eat three meals a day, what with a baby, a career, hobbies, family and a boyfriend to take care of or c. stressed out. Some people eat due to stress, others (like myself) don't eat when we're stressed out because it's the last thing on our mind. Further more, it might not be her super skinny-big ol headed frame I'm into, I think if I had millions of dollars to spend willy nilly, I'd dress like Nicole. Hopefully its that that I'm into, and not looking underfed.

Some of us, aren't needy.

I also keep hearing about Brad and Angelina. Months ago she was leaving him alone to go party in the big easy. Now hes leaving her alone to go shopping for expensive furniture. If I see one more "Brad and Angelina's troubled marriage" articles, I'll explode. I doubt their marriage is in trouble AT ALL. First of all, if Angelina is out partying and people are able to take pictures of her soloness, she's not hiding anything. Second of all, if Brad Pitt is out and about with a female furniture designer allowing ACTUAL photo ops, he isn't hiding anything either. Maybe he likes that chick designer's stuff and wants to give her press? This whole thing pisses me off. I'm one of those people who DOESN'T want to be around my boyfriend 24/7. We don't go to the bar together, because you don't adopt a puppy at the pound and then take it back to play with the other puppies. We DON'T spend every night together because I don't need someone spooning me constantly. We DON'T spend days on end together because then we'll have nothing to talk about. We still love eachother very much and couldn't imagine being with someone else, there's nothing wrong with alone time in relationships on a regular basis. Maybe Brad and Angelina trust eachother enough to do what they want, when they want. The sad fact is, to me their relationship seems really healthy and fabulous, but to the rest of the world it looks like somethings wrong. Get your head out of your ass and hang out with your friends, ya crazy ladies. Go shopping, go see a movie. Let your man play video games for hours on end. It gives you a chance to read a book, or I dunno... make a phone call?

Look at that dress. That's the most insanely gorgeous color I've seen in a while. Perfect. We all know Brad always looks good.

There ya have it. Thats how I feel about the most important stories of the week.

Style File: Kim Kardashian Summer Fashion

Kim Kardashian Summer Fashion 2008

Tired of seeing and reading about Kim Kardashian yet? I am, too – kinda – although even I am guilty of gawking at her style choices pretty often. Overrated or not, you gotta admit that Kim Kardashian is one of the trendiest gals in Hollywood right now. Among the “F” words she’s associated with – “faux” being one of them because she’s always wearing those long false eyelashes – I happen to think her wardrobe is “fierce” and “fabulous”. For that reason I am doing this expose on some of Kim Kardashian’s choice summer fashions.

Metallics

I predict that metallics will lie to rest after this summer but that doesn’t stop Miss Kardashian from rocking this metallic gold tube dress striped in black with black peep toe pumps. The small black clutch is a perfect accessory to this tiny slim-fitting dress. Pairing metallic clothes with basic black pieces ensures your look won’t be too clash-y.

Wide Leg Pants

Along with bell bottom flares, high-waist wide-legged pants have been seen all over the place since last fall. Victoria Beckham is also a repeat offender of this trend. I love how Kim pairs these high-waist wide-legged jeans with a grey button-up top to make it chic, yet has rolled-up sleeves and the bottom all tied up to show just the right amount of skin on a fair summer night. Again, the accessories are on point: metallic silver stacked bangles, a silvery grey clutch, and metallic silver gladiator sandals complete Kim’s wide-legged look.

Prints & Patterns

Pucci- and Missoni-style prints seem to emerge season in and season out in some form and this summer it’s all about bright print dresses. Kim Kardashian pairs this Mint print dress with velvety brown peeptoe pumps for a totally fun and refreshingly non-skintight summer ensemble.

Eyelets

It’s somewhat shocking to see Kim in such a… classy, long, snow white eyelet dress with matching handbag and white lace-up platforms. Still, Kim keeps it Kim-style with a revealing bust, although the flipped collar maintains this more tasteful, demure look.

So, what do *you* think? Is Kim Kardashian's look HOT or NOT?
