New York Fashion Week FEBRUARY 2011

On February 9, 2011 the Heart Truth Red Dress Collection Celebrity Fashion Show will kick off New York Fashion Week. This show features celebrities coming down the runway in all red dresses designed by their favorite designers.

This year, Jennifer Love Hewitt will be wearing Max Azria, Patti LaBelle will be in Zang, and Audrina Patridge will be wearing Badgley Mischka (just to name a few). Afterward the clothes will be auctioned off at Clothes Off Our Back, proceeds benefiting children charities.

Below are a few of the looks from past shows. What are your favorite looks?

Taraji P. Henson is Furless

Taraji P. Henson is an Oscar Nominated actress, but now she [I] Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur. The superstar bared all in the latest celebrity endorsed ad by PETA. I really loved the ad, the pose, and of course Ms. Henson. All of PETA's Go Naked ads are sexy, so I loved that they kept with the theme.

Would you rather go naked than wear fur?

Golden Globe Society

I was debating if I wanted to do a post about the Golden Globes. Like all major red carpets every site jumps on the chance to give their opinion and share what they thought about the looks from that night. Instead of rating every single look I have decided to share looks that grabbed my attention, be it good or bad. I want you all to be the judge.

Stylish Star! Nicole Richie

[Newlywed] Designer Nicole Richie is on the cover of Lucky Mag(on newsstands now) this month and that inspired me to take a second look at her jewelry line House of Harlow 1960. She also recently expanded her line to shoes and sunglasses. In addition she has her clothing line, Winter Kate.

The line is named after her daughter(Harlow Winter Kate Madden). As I was

viewing the collection I saw

a lot of costume pieces. She says that she is inspired by different flea market finds.

I must say that her jewelry collection, which ranges in price from $20-$500 is very fashionable and gets a fashion clap from me. Plus, she is a fan of her line and can always be seen wearing pieces from her collection.

Here are some of the looks from Ms. Richie's fashion empire:

House of Harlow Necklace $120 & Winter Kate Top $183

Winter Kate Skirt $225 & Vest $190

House of Harlow Shoes $275

House of Harlow Sunglasses $125

House of Harlow Bangle $110

House of Harlow Necklace $125

House of Harlow Headpiece $225

House of Harlow Sunglasses $125

House of Harlow Shoes $235

House of Harlow Ring $95

Winter Kate Dress $225

Tell me, What do you think of House of Harlow 1960 and what is the best item you have found at a flea market?

Rachel Zoe: A Stylist You Should Know

I was walking through a bookstore the other day and I saw one of my favorite style books: Style A To Zoe by Rachel Zoe (One of the best fashion stylist ever). When this book was released I reserved it from the library(I always get a book from the library before I buy) and I loved every moment of it.

Being the fashion nerd that I am I even took 12 pages of styling notes. Here are some notes from her book about dressing and being a fashion stylist:

• Tear out pages of Magazines for later reference
• Before 1st appointment with a client do your homework-A successful stylist needs to know their clients
• Style is more about your eye than your bank account

Ms. Zoe educates readers on how to dress and dress others for all occasions, body and face types, and even home decor. This book has it all.

Rachel is happily married, expecting her first child, has a successful Bravo reality show-The Rachel Zoe Project, a fashion line with QVC, daily e-mail(The Zoe Report), and a lifestyle brand- The Rachel Zoe Collection.

Do not think all of this happened over night. She has been working in the fashion industry for more than 15 years and celebrities like Kate Hudson, Nicole Richie, Anne Hathaway, Cameron Diaz, and countless others owe her for there perfect looks.

Also, be sure to check out this hilarious spoof Rachel and company produced mocking herself.

Fashionable Thinkers be sure to keep Rachel Zoe on your fashion radars and add some of her products to your fashion catalogs. Follow her on Twitter and like her Facebook page to keep up with the 'Star Stylist.'
