ShoppingTheTrend Celebrity Edition

Anne Hathaway made an appearance at  Elle's "Women in Hollywood Event" at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles this week, wearing a perfect shade of blue! This is actually a two-pece dark blue suit with red metallic threads, paired with a sash that brings it together (and makes it look like a dress).

Dark blue has been a very hot color this season, and you might want to know Anne is wearing an outfit from Spring 2009, not yet available to us mere mortals. So you can consider yourself trend-warned. Dark blue (or midnight, or navy,  whatever you want to call it!) is not going anywhere for another season.

Here is a selection of pretty navy blue dresses that give you the same look, and you easily add a metallic red sash to any of these dresses too!

Anne Hathway has been turning heads lately with a new shorter 'do, and a fabulous new wardrobe - most of it right off the runway!

She appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman tonight wearing this midnight blue & black mini wrap dress from Marc Jacobs Resort  2009 collection. The interview was great - she answered all the embarassing questions from Dave about the ex  (you know, getting arrested for being an imposter, stealing millions & all that). And attributed her recent stunning looks to giving up smoking & drinking & becoming a vegetarian!

Back to trends.. this midnight & black combination is something I've talked about on ShoppingTheTrend for Fall/Winter 2008. If you want a holiday look, this will really hit the festive & trendy spot. While Marc Jacobs Resort 2009 is not available in stores yet, here are some terrific picks available online NOW to Get The Look!

Anne Hathaway wore a jaw-dropping, quite stunning gown on the red carpet to the premiere of her film "Rachel Getting Married" at the Venice Film Festival. She's pretty gorgeous to start with, but this level of haute couture really suits her!

The gown is a creation from Atelier Versace (Fall 2008 of course), and interestingly, Donatella Versace chose NOT to show this collection on the runway. Rather, patrons were invited to view the collection by appointment only. Which leaves us  (those who did NOT schedule an appointment) only able to view photos & sketches that were made available to the media.

I wanted to take a closer look at this beautiful gown, enjoy the photo gallery, they include some close-ups. Check out the precision of sketch to reality...

Check out this terrific look at the Hollywood premiere of Get Smart - the dress is Bill Blass, and the shoes Christian Louboutin.

To get this look, pick up a fashion-forward dress in graphite (Fall 2008 color trend), or even combine a metallic bodice with solid skirt or pant. Shoes should be sky high & black, and accessorize with a simple pair of teardrop earrings.

Check out the photos & items below to get the look of Anne Hathaway!

Check out Carla Gugino at 2008 Comic Con International wearing a classic stylish top & pencil skirt combination.

Paired with timless black stiletto pumps, this look can go from day to evening very easily. The color is very Fall 2008, as are the ruffles, and uncomplicated elegance.

Check out more photos & how to get the look of Carla Gugino!

 

If you're an 18 year old actress and budding fashionista, what do YOU do with a week off..? Well, Emma Watson - of Harry Potter fame - just spent her week in Paris, sitting in the front row of the most pretisgious catwalk shows in the world, during Paris Fashion Week.

While she's not an official Face of Chanel (yes, that's what the job is called!), she certainly is a youthful & fresh representative for the 80-year old fashion house. In addition to the Chanel show, she also made front-row appearances at Yves Saint Laurent, Sonia Rykiel, Giambattista Valli and Christian Dior.

Here is a photo gallery of her week in Paris!

Eva Longoria stepped out of the salon earlier today in Los Angeles looking very polished (a visit to Ken Paves seems to have that effect on celebs!). For many of us, the weather has turned, so the idea of wearing a sleeveless maxi dress like this one seems a world away. What should jump out at you is the colour combination!

We all know that purple is a very hot colour this season, and when you combine it with gray & silver, it becomes very smoooooth... this is a perfect idea for your work wardrobe (don't forget office attire makes a difference too!). The items shown in this trendBook will give you some terrific ideas how to wear this no matter what the weather is like outside! As for Eva's look, I love the hair...  smooooth..

Eva Longoria continues her parade of fashion this week in a VERY simple & sweet & wearable lilac strapless sundress with flip flops. This is an easy Celebrity  Trend to Shop get as we have found the EXACT same dress she is wearing online. It's the Bop Basics Strapless Smock Mini Dress found exclusively online at Shopbop.

Check out the dress below as well as some more pics of Eva in the gallery!

 

ORIGINAL SOURCE: Everyone seems to be asking "is she, or isn't she"..   whatever the case, she looks pretty happy lately! You would be in a pretty good mood too if you were sporting this brand new Fall 2008 red handbag by Salvatore Ferragamo. We introduce you to the Gancio Lucchetto Hobo - available at Neiman Marcus (link below), it's a cherry patent leather bag with laced-through top handles. Also comes in chocolate, which is a choice that will last well beyond a couple of seasons.

More photos & the bag itself below...

 

Eva Longoria Parker looks fun & casual in a belted safari jacket & skinny jeans, topped off with some terrific chandelier earrings. Our favorite part of the oufit, however, is how she continues the animal theme all the way down to her shoes, with some great (faux!) pony peep-toe pumps. We've zoomed in so you can get a better look!

This is refreshing - she was attending a benefit for the Whaleman Foundation, which is "dedicated to non-profit research, education, conservation, and wildlife film production organization dedicated to preserving and protecting our ocean world". This is an appopriate look for the event, but also a summer-to-fall transition look you should try!

This may look like a summer dress, but it's also a Fall trend - Eva Longoria Parker wears a soft ruffled lace cocktail dress for the 2008 ALMA Award Nominations on July 21, 2008.

Lace will be everywhere this coming season on both apparel & accessories -include a splash in your edgier looks as well.

During her appearance in Sydney yesterday to launch the 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty event, Eva Mendes looked terrific in a dress by Hong Kong designer John Rocha and (all the rage) sky-high berry-color Yves Saint Laurent t-strap sandals.

But what caught our eye was the subtle spiderweb cuff on her wrist - and we decided to look for some more spider-inspired items. This is a fun accessory trend (like butterflies this past summer, and skulls in previous seasons)..  in the insect world, spiders have been known to prey on butterflies, and this sets the perfect tone for the dark gothic season coming up!

 

Go glam in a simple navy dress, paired with soft neutral (but sky high!) peep toe pumps.

Jewelry is simple - skip the necklace and go straight for a statement cocktail ring!

Signature Calvin Klein.

Gillian Anderson looks terrific in her Moschino floor length silk gown, six months pregnant, on the red carpet of the X-Files: I Want to Believe movie premiere in LA on July 23rd.

This shade of blue is very timely as a Fall 2008 trend, you can see a perfect match in the Moschino satin peep-toe pump. For this trendBook, we bring you only Moschino-designed items!

For readers looking for the dress Miley Cyrus wore to the Teen Choice Awards, it's not available for sale online, but we put together some slouchy boots!

 

Look closely at the photos... this dress look like a backwards long cardigan! But I really like the end result... Blake Lively wore this interesting number tonight to the opening party for Juicy Couture's 5th Avenue flagship store in New York City. This look totally made me think of a 3/4 length sleeve black mini worn with opaque tights & little black ankle boots. Classic, simple & elegant.

I'm happy to see that "black is the new black" this season, as opposed to 'brown is the new black", or "blue is the new black".. oh, wait a minute, blue IS the new black too.. never mind...

Here are some terrific little black dresses to help you get this simple & streamlined & very effective look!

Midnight blue continues to dominate for Winter & Holiday 2008, and Blake Lively shows how to wear this evening trend. At the Fashion Group International Night of the Stars awards at Cipriani Wall St. in New York City, she wore a pretty Chanel halter dress with pencil skirt & ruffle.

There are some pretty choices to get this look right now - all of your fav boutiques are carrying a variety of little dresses from $200 (T Bags Ruffle jersey dress below) all the way up to the Designer real deal (Marc Jacobs Tiered Silk Tank Dress, Resort 2009 now available for pre-order!). My personal favorite is this lovely Diane Von von Furstenberg Tengrier halter dress, with a little peekaboo lace at the bodice. You can dress it up for a more formal event (gold, lots of it!), or tone it down with a little black wrap. Photos of Blake in her midnight blue dress, and your choices below..

ORIGINAL SOURCE: Want to look just like Blake Lively? This one is easy... here she is wearing a black & white lattice print dress by Michael Kors that works for both her AND Serena!

She wore this black & white dress to the Michael Kors Spring/Summer 2009 show in New York today, and it's available online now. More photos of Blake below, as well as links to buy both the dress and skirt. This can eaily be worn as a fall item - all you have to do is throw on a cool black leather jacket, and change the shoe to a chunkier pump. You can also add a purple handbag to the outfit for a perfect Fall look.

 

Ahead of the second season premiere on Monday, Sept 1, Gossip Girl Blake Lively made an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman.

Check out these before & after photos! Before: rather disheveled rumpled long mens shirt with Christian Louboutin black Decollete pumps and (we think) she may have been wearing pantyhose. After: polished & leggy in a gorgeous blue/black ombre grecian mini with a wide sash. For everyone asking, the dress is designed by Christian Cota, Fall 2008 collection will be in stores soon (check back here, I'll post the links!). Interestingly, Blake's character Serena wore a Christina Cota capelet on the show first. Life imitates art!

Her only comment about the upcoming season of Gossip Girl was that it will be racy! Looking forward ...

It's nice to see our new fav new color getting more exposure lately.. in the past 2 days, berry dresses have been trend-spotted on Kim Kardashian (ahead of her Letterman appearance this week), and also at the recent Gossip Girl party held at Henri Bendel's to celebrate the season premiere. This color really suits Kim with her dark coloring, and it's great to see her wear something a little more.. well... classy.

Here is a nice selection of berry dresses for your celeb shopping pleasure  - for both day & night. And this is one trend you will get a  LOT of mileage out of this season.. berry coat, anyone?

ORIGINAL SOURCE: Hayden Panettiere shows off a new hairstyle in sunny California today, but more eye-catching (to me!) is the sweet handbag she's carrying - the Coach Sabrina patent bag with gold hardware. Interestingly, this is not the first time I've trend-spotted this bag, just waited for the release. Which celeb has this bag already..? It's Ugly Betty actress (and soon to be new mom!) Rebecca Romijn, spotted with this bag 4 weeks ago, photos below.

Hayden went shopping after leaving the hair salon, so this is definitely a newly styled 'do! She looks relaxed & casual wearing a pretty white lace top, faded skinny jeans, and gold aviators. Oh, and here's the bag! You can find it over at Nordstrom in their Coach section - it's called the Sabrina (Madison collection). And check out the Nordstrom coupon code at the bottom of this page!

For all you Hayden Panettiere fans, she will be appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman this Friday (September 5th) just ahead of the Heroes season premiere on September 22nd! Here she is outside the Ed Sullivan Theatre, arriving for the taped appearance.

Dressed in soft pink cowl neck blouse, and fitted black trousers, she looks VERY polished with the updo and impeccable make up. The colors suit her, but we also look forward to seeing what she wears ON the show, it will probably be something a little more youthful. Nothing wrong with this look at all, but it's easy to forget she's only 19 years old

Check out the photos here...

ORIGINAL SOURCE: Check out Hayden Panettiere as she steps up her fashion game with this MAJOR handbag. This is the Balenciaga Giant City bag in a lovely (and trendy!) shade of purple. No longer the new kid on the block anymore, she has adopted the Hollywood standard of carrying must-have & highly coveted handbags!

You can buy this item online at Matches Fashion - (the leather is absolutely stunning, and anything from Balenciaga will last a lifetime (but you already knew that!). Here are some more Fall/Winter items from Balenciaga as well.

Matches Fashion ships worldwide, so if you are a fan of this designer, and can't find it locally (it's not easy), we encourage you to shop from this trendy London boutique!

Chinese actress Huang Yi arrives for the screening of the movie 'Un Giorno Perfetto' (A perfect day) at the 65th edition of the Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy on August 30th.

Looking drop-dead gorgeous in a purple gown with interesting criss-cross satin bodice, she shows just how to wear this season's purple color trend with style & elegance.

Here are more photos of her red carpet arrival, and also some day & evening purple dresses for your own upcoming event!

Isabella Leong continues her North American tour for  "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor", this time appearing at Comic Con International. She looks poised & casual in a black metallic strapless top, paired with indigo boot-cut jeans with peep-toe pumps.

This is a terrific summer look, day or night, any of these items will help you get the look!

Check out more photos & items to shop this celebrity trend.

 

 

Fall 2008 sees a return to romance with a hint of gothic edge, and Isabella Leong works this look perfectly on the red carpet.Her poised look, combined with simple, flawless & very effective hair & makeup dares to be different on a red carpet full of color and floral.

These some very interesting little black dresses - any of these will make a style statement with opaque tights & red lippy.

Check out the photos & items below to get the look of Isabella Leong!

Jada Pinkett-Smith looks terrific in this casual but still red-carpet look, at the premiere of Kitt Kittredge: An American Girl.

Take a purple top, add a belt over your favorite skinny black pants, and all you need are some standout accessories. The leopard clutch & platform sandals totally pick up the outfit.

Check out the photos & items below to get the look of Jada Pinkett Smith!

It's nice to see Jennifer Connelly out & about - here she is at the photocall for French release of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" at the Hotel Ritz in Paris. I've always liked her style, she makes unusual choices that really work. If everyone is wearing black, she wears red..  she has also worn avant garde off-the-runway items, and makes fashion anything she wants it to be.

In this case, her choice of a pretty white blouse with black polka dots, paired with black mini skirt is spot on ('scuse the pun!). Polka dots are an upcoming trend for Spring/Summer 2009, and this is a perfect way to wear this future trend in the current season. If you want something new in polka dots, consider any of the items below, just make sure you pair your dots with something current (such as opaque tights, or a smart boyfriend blazer).

Jessica Alba has been out & about lately with baby Honor Marie in Los Angeles, and looks completely cool, calm & collected! Totally casual in her California chic: white tank, great scarf, wide leg jeans, and a bag that caught my eye...  easy to spot thanks to the many Gywneth Paltrow photos scattered throughout fashion magazines.

Yup, you guessed it, she's carrying a new handbag from Tods Fall/Winter 2008 collection! Her version is the as-yet-unavailable Diamond Lock Shopping Media Bag with contrasting patent detailing. However you can still find a Fall version online right now in a yummy chocolate brown over at Saks Fifth Avenue. And in the meantime, let's keep watching who's carrying what! If you have a question, just ask..

This new See By Chloe handbag for Fall/Winter 2008, the Day Tripper, has been an "Editor's Pick" pretty much everywhere, but it officially becomes a "hot new handbag" when Jessica Alba looks this good with it! It's a crinkled two tone patent leather handbag with pleated zipper pockets at front, double handles and detachable shoulder strap

Here she is, out and about in Los Angeles on September 3rd sporting a cool and casual pink & grey look, and carrying a purple & grey shoulder bag. Did we answer your question? Give us a shout out, we're new & full of helpful fashion tidbits!

 

 

What a treat to see Kate Hudson in such a gorgeous colour! I will confess  that I'm a huge fan of turquoise.. I don't know why, it's just one of those personal things (some colours you like, others not so much). While colours come & go in trends, I'm thrilled to see this one looming large for Resort 2009, and looking even more forward to Spring/Summer 2009.

Here is a wonderful selection of turquoise treats to give you a nice head start. And keep in mind you can always add a splash of turquoise to your basic black wardrobe as a nod to upcoming fashion trends..  and since silver sequins are one of the key looks for Holiday 2009, you know turquoise accessories would look great!

Kate Hudson attended The National Magazine Company: 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty Gala Party, at the Natural History Museum on September 16th. Wearing a simple (but very effective!) gray silk shirtdress, she looks effortless and fun.

Pay close attention to the accessories as well - cool Stella McCartney large buckle belt, and must-have clutch.

Check out more photos below, as well as hand-picked items to Get the Look: Kate Hudson!

 

Kate Hudson shows a terrific sense of Street Chic with a simple mauve maxi-dress, combined with luxe white bag & metallic flats.

Perfect example of comfort AND style! Dig the wayfarers as well, THE must-have sunglass this season.

Check out more photos and how you can shop this celebrity trend! Her white bag (for everyone asking!) is the JIMMY CHOO SABA BRACELET HOBO check out more info, available from Neiman Marcus.

Sometimes you just need to zip out in something casual & comfortable, but still maintain your sense of style. Check out Katherine Heigl's Street Chic look in Los Angeles as she steps out for some shopping in Los Angeles today.

The great thing about a long white cotton shirt is that it will always maintain it's shape, and a cool pair of skinny jeans with some silver & gray accessories can really top off the look. I like the way she has combined white & gray, at the same time adding a little kick with silver.

Speaking of silver ballet flats, I'm LOVING mine right now..

Ohhhhh dear.... Katie Holmes is going to take some heat for this outfit... designed by her own self (yes, a Katie Holmes original). Ummm, I think it's a white strapless jumpsuit (?) with black lace panels (?) and harem pants (?). Three unrelated trends in one item. Opening Night After Party for "All My Sons", New York City.

I actually believe that if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. Let's file this under "what was she thinking?"...

I hope she gets better reviews on her performance in the play.  Like the hair tho.

Katie Holmes takes a fashion leap forward with this new trend!

Her arms are full carrying a sleeping Suri, and this photo actually deserves a big "awww"... and I like the look.

She's dressed down the leggings for a casual Street Chic look, but you can make these leggings look a little more fashion forward - they fall under the Goth/Punk trend this season. To add some edge, throw on a cool long tee, funky plaid jacket, and finish off the outfit with biker boots. Katie keeps it safe, which does work, but this example goes to show the versatility of liquid leggings!

More photos & links to liquid leggings online!

ORIGINAL SOURCE: Katie Holmes has a head start on us, showing off her HOT new Winter 2008 handbag, the Chloe Paraty.. and by the looks of it, she's really digging this one.

It's available in leather or python (shown below many times!) at select Chloe boutiques, but is NOT yet available for purchase online. However..  we're calling in our sources and will let you know the second it arrives (we have a pretty good idea where that will be!).

FLASH UPDATE Oct 08! The leather Paraty like Katie's has arrived online at Matches Fashion!

Katie Holmes has taken some heat lately for her casual attire (baggy jeans rolled at the ankle, extra high-waisted trousers), but this look out in NYC on August 10th suits her just perfectly. It's the kind of street-chic that anyone can wear - little black blazer, skinny jeans, ballet flats, statement bag and the most divine new sunglasses! These are Michele Deco sunglasses in gold (diamond-encrusted version shown below from Nordstrom).

This look has earned Katie our Street Chic look of the week!

 

Katie Holmes seen here in New York City, preparing for her Broadway debut on October 16th in All My Sons, a revival of Arthur Miller's Tony-award winning play.

Her casual street-chic today is a comfortable combination of a belted tunic-dress, leggings and a long slim-fit sweater.

This look works, and is also easy to achieve - just don't forget your over-sized black sunglasses! Check out more photos & picks to Shop the Trend.

 

 

ORIGINAL SOURCE: Keira Knightley continues to appear in terrific shades of blue - one of this new Fall season's hottest colors. Who can forget the gorgeous cornflower blue Alexis Mabille couture creation at the London premiere?

During her guest appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman on September 8th to promote The Duchess, she wore a prim, classic marine silk floral print dress by 3.1 Phillip Lim. Upon leaving the theatre, she added a 3/4 length sleeve jacket, shown here, but the winning look was on the show. This is the kind of dress that will be a staple in your closet, a perfect item for those times when you need to "turn day into night" .. Keira did just that!

The dress is available online at Net-A-Porter - it's very easy to "Get The Look of Keira Knightley", more photos & link to buy the dress below...

Keira Knightley struck quite the pose on the red carpet at the premiere of her new movie, The Duchess, in London's Leicester Square on September 3rd. Showing off a very slender frame, she opted to wear Alexis Mabille, a young Parisian designer/couturier with an impressive (young) clientele already. Fans include Sofia Coppola, a growing number of French socialities... and now add Keira to the list.

This dress was a custom version of a cornlower blue dress straight from the Fall 2008 runway, the matching blue tulle (on the bodice and the hem!) from the runway version was replaced with black dotted tulle. She paired the dress with chunky patent heels by Moschino.

Love her in this dress (personally I think it's a stunning color on her!); you can't deny that she has made some edgy fashion-forward choices that certainly make her a very trend-worthy celeb!

Keira Knightley's timing for this look is impeccable. The fashion world recently lost Yves Saint Laurent, who almost single-handedly brought menswear-inspired suits into the world of women's fashion.

This look is simple & timeless - just make sure the tailoring is perfect! The menswear trend is definitely back, and the fit of your suiting will make or break your success with this look.

 

Kelly Ripa appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman wearing a super cute mini dress with soft draping and belted sash. This is THE hot color for Fall 2008 but what really stood out were her dynamite sky-high berry sandals! To sigh for...

We just added this color profile over on ShoppingTheTrend, as it is turning out to be the must-have color in your Fall wardrobe.

 

 

Soft coral is a terrific summer color trend right now, Kelly Ripa does it perfectly in a soft halter dress, with her hair swept into a side ponytail at the New York Premiere of "Fly Me to the Moon" on July 31, 2008.

If you're looking for a pretty outfit, consider a coral top with white pants, paired with some awesome gold gladiator sandals. Fall is definitely not here just yet!

At the Teen Choice Awards pre-party in Hollywood on August 2nd, Lauren Conrad sparkled in a white strapless cocktail dress. Simply style & perfectly fitted with a skinny belt, this is a terrific summer evening look after a day on the beach.

Accessorize your white dress with fabulous Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps (are there any others?) and add a simple pedant to make this look yours!

Recommended jewellery: have you see Helen Ficalora? This designer was featured on GMTV, and we know exactlly where UK readers can buy this american collection!

This is the first significant Gilet I've seen on the red carpet (note use of the word "significant"!).. this was a trend we all knew was coming, and it was only a matter of time before a celeb took the plunge..  "gilet is a sleeveless jacket or vest.... often worn as an outer layer, for extra warmth outdoors".

No surprise that it's Maggie Gyllenhaal, snapped here at the MoMa Film Benefit Gala Honoring Baz Luhrmann. She is known for both her independent spirit and fashion forward choices. I'm not sure if her gilet is real, but there are some fabulous faux fur choices out there (and shown here). This trend isn't about real fur, it's the concept/shape... perhaps the most significant gilet ad campaign came from Hermes, who did a whole "Mongolian Chic" promotion against a white snowy backdrop (plenty of sheepskin & wool). I would combine this with skinny jeans & tall boots - your gilet thrown over a nice fitted turtleneck, preferably in black. Plus I'm a big fan of cozy chic, and this fits the bill!

ORIGINAL SOURCE: Maggie Gyllenhaal attended the Opening Night of The Seagull in New York this evening, supporting hubby Peter Saarsgard in his Broadway debut.

She once again selected a dress by designer Dries Van Noten for the event - the gorgeous dress she wore at the Dark Knight premiere received rave reviews. This dress is from the Fall/Winter 2008 runway show in Paris.

The designer's Fall/Winter 2008 collection also received praise from the fashion critics. While maintaining an arty feel, and typical minimal style, this collection showed a love of design that has him moving him into the mainstream. Being a European designer, this collection is limited online to select stores. Check out approx  30 items by Dries Van Noten available online from YOOX & Matches Fashion - and more photos of Maggie!

This is a wonderful look - she's wearing a custom-made Dries Van Noten dress, based on a Fall 2008 runway item. The charcoal backdrop is perfect for the large bright floral print, and her skin just glows.

This represents the dark romantic trend for Fall, which is more sophisticated & worldly than the summer trend, and a perfect choice for the Dark Knight premiere.

 

Mena Suvari has morphed her style considerably since her breakout role in American Beauty (hard to believe it's been almost ten years!). She has always had a vulnerable yet strong look about her, and certainly doesn't shy away from edgy roles. She is back on the scene just recently with a new film on the Life channel "Sex Lies And Sin City: The Ted Binion Scandal." Based on a true story, it's about the death of wealthy Las Vegas casino heir Ted Binion.

Back to Mena, I love the don't-mess-with-me pose, the very on-trend black lace prom dress, razor sharp blonde bob, and dramatic red lippy. While UK readers have their fill of lace, US readers also have a WIDE variety of online stores to choose from, and this trendBook covers all your favs! And put Mena on your fashion radar, she has always been one to watch..

I'm thrilled to see Miley Cyrus looking super cute in a red & grey colorblock dress at World Premiere of Walt Disney's 'Bolt' held at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood tonight. Gallery below..

This is totally age-appropriate, and I like the extra kick to her outfit: bejeweled layered necklaces that fit the Statement Trend just perfectly!

Perhaps one of the biggest words this season has been "Statement"; it has been applied to shoes, accessories & jewellery alike, particularly necklaces. Here is where I repeat myself: if you have a terrific LBD in your closet that you love, all you need to do is add or combine (!) any of these necklaces and presto (yes, presto, I like that word) you're on trend for Holiday 2008.

ORIGINAL SOURCE: Miley Cyrus may be just a few days shy of her Sweet Sixteen, but wow, she certainly has boots & handbags to rival any fashionista!

Whle she still wears the suede boots with fringe (the Sam Edelman Utah Boot - trust me, I had confirmation she bought them in-store at Nordstrom!), she has expanded her shoe closet to include this lovely pair of tall boots by Tory Burch, the Marco flat boot with a buckle.

This style is definitely a keeper.. it actually won't be quickly identifiable in future seasons (which is a plus when buying trendy items). A high quality tall flat boot simply never goes out of style. And Tory Burch has ramped up her shoes & handbag collections lately.. it's no surprise that Miley that has picked up on this too!

ORIGINAL SOURCE: Miley wowed the morning crowd today with her pre-CMA appearance in Nashville on Good Morning America, and here's something you may not have known..  the dynamite jacket she wore was already trend-spotted here on ShoppingTheTrend (celeb edition extraordinaire!) when she appeared on ITV's This Morning (in London) just last week!

Yes, yes, the point at hand: it's the Elizabeth and James Embroidered Poe Blazer available at ShopBop, designed by Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen (not quite designed BY them, it's their design company). This is a great item for Holiday 2008 as well.. wear it with jeans (to dress them up), or over a black shift dress with statement pumps for a more sophisticated polished look. One of Miley's best so far!

ORIGINAL SOURCE: Miley Cyrus was looking VERY polished & grown-up in London on UK's This Morning show, singing her latest hit song "7 Things". And while the singing was great (definitely live, not lip-sync), what caught my eye was the terrific Elizabeth & James Embroidered Poe Blazer she was wearing!

Elizabeth & James is the new(ish) line by Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen, and while I had my doubts about celebrity "designers", they are not actually the designers themselves. This is a collaborative effort with a design partner, and the collection in stores now is really quite nice & wearable. Good price point too.

Back to Miley, she paired the jacket with skinny black jeans, platform pumps and underneath the jacket wore a long striped deep v-neck sweater. This is my fav outfit of hers so far, very grown up & polished, perfect for Street Chic too! Get the jacket online here...

ORIGINAL SOURCE: At a photocall today at the Ritz Carlton in Berlin, Miley sported a terrific new pair of suede boots that caught my eye! As usual, the proof is in the photos below...

This is the Dolce Vita Katie Belted Flat Boot, available online now from ShopBop! She's tucked in her black jeans (as usual) and thrown a super cute plaid vest over a casual tee. Her handbags may be going up in price, but it's nice to see her wearing boots that you can buy without breaking the bank!

Don't get me wrong, I love all the red carpet fashion stuff, but I get more style ideas from Street Chic than I do awards ceremonies! Boots & photos below..

It had to happen sooner or later.. Miley has been carrying some pretty major handbags lately, so one more Louis Vuitton was the next logical step! Here she in Berlin at the Ritz Carlton, in town ahead of the concert this evening.

While this isn't the most expensive bag in her rotation (that honor goes to the Bottega Veneta purple Intrecciato!), it's definitely an A-List handbag. And a classic that is perfect for travel.

The Monogram Canvas Speedy is a practical handbag (3 sizes shown below)  and a keeper - for more information on Louis Vuitton bags, we recommend only one site: eLUXURY, as it's owned by LVMH themselves (personally this is the only site I trust for LV authenticity).

Everyone needs to update their hairstyle, and Miley Cyrus is no exception!

Check out this new short fringe, as it's called in the UK, more photos below. She showed off this new look while performed at the BBC Switch Live at the Apollo Hammersmith, London earlier today. This is the first event put on by the BBC, and sponsored by Radio 1  - it featured acts geared toward ages 14 to17.

She rocked the house with a set that included 7 Things, Bottom of the Ocean, and See You Again. Check out more photos of her performance, AND the new fringe below.

ORIGINAL SOURCE: Miley Cyrus has just upped her fashionista stakes with this new fabulous handbag! This look is fun & young  - black leather jacket, black jeans & simple v neck purple jumper. But it's the handbag that caught my eye!

It's not surprising she's now carrying A-list designer handbags since she HAS been caught shopping at designer boutiques like Chanel.

Miley Cyrus spent her Saturday afternoon just like any normal teenager, hanging out with friends at a coffee shop in Los Angeles on September 13th. She's looks relaxed, having fun with the paparazzi trailing her.

She can have her pick of ANY designer (recently spotted with the new Day Tripper See by Chloe) and today her handbag of choice is a black satchel from the latest collection by Bulga.

ORIGINAL SOURCE: What do Miley Cyrus and Jessica Alba have in common..?? They're both pretty stylin', but in this case, it's all in the handbag!

Earlier this week, Jessica Alba was spotted in Los Angeles carrying a new purple See By Chloe Fall/Winter 2008 handbag called the "Day Tripper". And now, Miley Cyrus has one as well!

Miley picked the color that we like the best.. a rich cobalt blue & black patent version. This bag is available online in a number of the best stores on the web, and of course we bring you the links below! For all you readers outside the USA, Shopbop ships international...

 

Miley Cyrus rocked the red carpet at Conde Nast Media Group's 5th Anniversary of Fashion Rocks at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

She ditched her (recent) suede boots in favour of a leggy-fabulous metallic silver dress with star motif. She added a bit more shine with a silver belt and silver hoops. The dress itself is pretty cool - it's has a a metallic sheer overlay that provdes plenty of sparkle in non-sequin way. Above all, I love that she combined it with Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps, it makes the whole look pop.
