Ahna O'Reilly in THEIA at Hollywood Film Festival

Hey Ladies-

So, I know you've heard me brag about THEIA. Probably at least a dozen times, just this year alone lol. I have a serious dress obsession but have to admit I am extremely picky. And somehow, I have managed to love every THEIA dress I've ever laid my eyes on. Including this one.

These photos of Ahna O'Reilly were taken last night at the Hollywood Film Festival.

 Doesn't she look amazing?

I totally love this dress-it's so detailed and just stunning!

 Ahna's nude version of the dress is one of a kind and features an illusion tulle neckline so it literally looks like the crystals are floating on the skin. SO fab! This dress is available in white at select retailers and will set you back $1,995 but there is no doubt you will be the belle of the ball in this beauty!

Mario Lopez: The Talk of the Red Carpet (Photos)

Here are some more fab shots of Mario Lopez working the red carpet at the Emmy's. Doesn't he look great? I can't believe he is 37 :)

Photos: Talent Resources

Mario is wearing rimless Silhouette sunglasses from the new 2012 Sun Collection and his fab looking suit is from John Varvatos. If you missed the Emmy Awards, he was reporting for Extra on the red carpet. I thought he did a fab job introducing and interviewing other stars. And, he was definitely one of the best dressed men at the show...by far.

What do you think ladies? Who was the hottest?

Mario Lopez in Silhouette Sunglasses (Pre-Emmy)

A couple of fab pre-Emmy shots for Mario Lopez fans...

Here is Mario in his rimless Silhouette sunglasses from the

NEW 2012 Sun Collection on his way to the show.

 Mario's Silhouette sunglasses are fab! So stylish and sexy. They make a perfect accessory all year long. Especially here in SoCal, where the sun is always shinning.

Rent Alicia Silverstone’s dress? Anyone…

Photo: Zimbio

Alicia Silverstone was looking mighty fab in her shimmery “Sparkle in My Eye” dress from Proenza Schouler on Wednesday at the Toronto Film Festival. The photo to the left is a shot of her as she graced the red carpet for the premiere of her new film “Butter.” Co-Stars Ashley Greene, Jennifer Garner and Olivia Wilde were also in attendance looking fab but I absolutely loved Alicia’s dress. I think it fits her personality really well. And it’s the perfect dress for a red carpet event or special occasion. It would be cute at a holiday party too! So, of course I had to track it down...


The dress retails for $1,825 from Proenza Schouler but I found a really fab place where you can actually rent this dress for only $250. Yes, I said rent. You can wear it for a fabulous evening out and return it when you are done. How cool is that? It is a perfect idea for the fashionistas that never like to wear the same thing twice. Or for those who get a certain anxiety buying a $2,000 dress.

Victoria Justice looking fab in Isabel Lu

Photos by INFdaily via Just Jared Jr.

I totally love the shirt Victoria Justice is wearing in these photos! They were taken at the Teen Vogue Haute Spot during Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Center in New York City on Monday.

 

 The beautiful ivory double layer lace long-sleeve top Victoria Justice is wearing is from Isabel Lu. If you don't know who Isabel Lu is definitely check out her website--her designs are absolutely fab! Other celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Audrina Patridge, Emma Roberts and Blake Lively have all been spotted in Isabel Lu. Her styles are stunning yet still affordable and I fell in love at first site. 

 

See for yourself at IsabelLu.com.

Looking fab Audrina! Woo…what a hottie!

Looking fabulous as usual, The Hills hottie, Audrina Patridge hosted Vanity Night Club’s Labor Day Weekend Party in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

Isn't she just gorgeous?

Ice T and Coco, Wylcef Jean and Swizz Beatz were also spotted over the weekend living it up at Vanity Night club.

On Sunday night, Audrina Patridge wore this amazing nude and silver beaded fringe cocktail dress from THEIA and boy, did she wear it! The dress looked so fab on her. I love that she didn’t over accessorize it, which is so typical with these flashy two-toned dresses. Just a few simple pieces and she looked amazing!

I’m pretty sure I am not the only one who will be ordering this one or at least adding it to the wish list - it is FAB!

Of course, I have already tracked down the fab THEIA slip dress and found it available at THEIA.com for $ 995.

Do you love Audrina’s dress too? Where would you wear it?

Wow! Hillary is looking absolutely FAB!

Photo: Zimbio

The lovely Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum.....Isn't she fab?

This photo was taken as she arrived yesterday at the David Letterman show in NYC. 

 I totally love her dress. The classic, fitted silhouette is fab!

In case you need one too...

Hillary is wearing a 3/4 sleeve black cocktail dress from THEIA.

 The dress is available in grape (a beautiful dark purple) at Neiman Marcus for $850. The black version, like Hillary Scott is wearing will be available in NM stores

within the next few weeks. I have a feeling these will go fast with the holidays coming...

 I think I am holdin' out - I want black :)

Her shoes are FAB too! I may just have to track those down too lol.

Which one do you love? Black or Grape

Nude “Samantha” Pumps from Aruna Seth

Over the last year “nude” has been totally in. Nude lips, nude nails and lots of nude pumps. Standing at a whopping 5’3” you would think I would have a closet full of them since nude-colored pumps are known to elongate the legs. But I don’t. I Love the nude lips and nude nails, but to be completely honest I have never really gotten into the nude pumps.

But when I saw these nude “Samantha” pumps and totally fell in love with them.

I Heart Birman... and so does J LO!

Over the last couple of years, Birman has become one of my absolute favorite brands when it comes to shoes. Not only because they look FAB, but because they are made with such detail and craftsmanship. I love how they offer so many different styles of shoes and they are just so classy.

So, when I saw these photos of Jennifer Lopez in her Birman python peep-toe pumps I had to post them for you all to see. Doesn't she look FAB in her little pearl studded mini-dress?

By the way, for those of you who just can't live without them, these Birman pumps are available at Sak's Fifth Avenue. (I couldn't help myself either...lol) I love big heels, they are so sexy!

And, if you love these, wait til you see the 2011 Pre-Fall Collection.

Alexandre Birman designed the collection mainly on geometric lines. The inspiration behind the collection was the contrast between feminine and masculine and London's underground scene from the late 1960s.

So, needless to say, the collection is absolutely amazing!

Birman has a huge celebrity following and his shoes are often seen on the red carpet. Demi Moore, Ashley Greene, Katy Perry, Tyler Momsen, Jessica Alba, Karolina Kurkova, Cocoa Rocha (love her), and Courtney Cox have all been spotted in their fab Birman shoes.

Is this Kim Kardashian’s Perfect Wedding Dress?

Sketch by THEIA Couture Designer Don O'Neill

With the impending nuptials between Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, the fashion world is speculating on which designer Kim Kardashian will wear on her big day.

After spotting Kim Kardashian dress shopping and lunching with her sister Kourtney and lunching with Vera Wang, most people think they have it all figured out. But will it be Vera who designs her famous dress? Or is Vera Wang just giving Kim her designer expertise? Only time will tell.

Kim also visited Vera Wang’s Upper East Side boutique, followed by a number of department stores in New York City including Bergdorf Goodman, Barney’s and Bendel’s but still no word on what or if she has chosen her dress.

Designer Don O’Neill, Creative Director for the eveningwear and bridal collection for THEIA just released his visions of Kim Kardashian’s perfect dress.

The sketch, created by O’Neill, features his interpretation of what Kim might choose to wear on her special day.

In regards to his visions, Designer Don O’Neill says “Kim often opts for figure hugging silhouettes that show off her gorgeous voluptuous curves. She has a taste for opulence, glamour and over the top drama. The dress I designed shows off her beautiful curves, the details are extravagant and opulent, yet delicate, feminine and sophisticated.”

And judging by her fab curve-hugging collection of clothes, I’d say he is probably right on.

Kim Kardashian’s wedding is said to be a camera-ready ceremony at a prestigious Los Angeles Estate, set to take place on August 20th. Her fiancé, Kris Humphries, proposed back in May at her Beverly Hills home by spelling out “Will you marry me?” in rose petals on the floor of her bedroom where he was waiting on one knee. Kris Humphries reportedly spent two million dollars on the 20+carat ring for Kardashian.

Which leads us to another million dollar question, how much will she spend on her wedding dress?

What do you think of THEIA Designer Don O'Neill's sketch?

We think it's FAB!

Who Wore it Better? Jessica or Helen

Jessica Alba was caught on Wednesday evening at the Lucky Magazine/ThisNext.com private party hosted by Mary Alice Haney, wearing the same Dolce Gabbana leopard print dress which Helen Mirren originally wore to the London premiere of “Arthur.” The only difference is Helen bumped it up a notch and accessorized with a hot leather jacket for a more rocker look.

And Jessica Alba bumped it up a notch too with her baby bump!

So, who wore the Dolce & Gabbana animal print strapless maxi dress better?
