Basic Beauties

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have become queens of using basic pieces to glam up any outfit. What was once a cotton tank top can be transformed into a fancy evening ensemble. Think white tees with leather skirts and blue jeans with sleek blazers. The twins have also been dissected countless times for their trademark "homeless" look but I'm not sayin' you should abide by that fashion craze. Below are some finds that you can take from day to nightlife.

Diane Stuns in Sequins

Diane Kruger looks flawless in a curve-hugging sequined dress at a screening for her film, Inglorious Bastards. As Diane's roles get better and better, it appears her fashion sense mirrors her position on the A-list. Once the face of Chanel, Diane knows how to go from street chic to red carpet glam in an instant. It's no wonder her costars (including Brad Pitt) continue to praise her work.

Wow em in this dazzling tube dress from Mangoshop.com.

Maria Lets Loose in Leopard

Tennis star Maria Sharapova unleashes her claws in this fabulous leopard number. The girl has a killer bod and enviable long legs but let's face it: she ain't no Anna Kournikova. She'll do for the time being though. Let's find this fierce fit for under $150!

Yahtzee! Play the coy little kitty in this dress from Newport-news.com.

The Pathetic Case of Stephanie Pratt

Oh jeez. Stephanie is THAT girl who defines herself by the men she dates and thus, her onscreen character appears desperate, lost, and well, a tad pathetic. With Lauren Conrad's recent exit of The Hills, it remains questionable as to whether MTV will ever receive their sky high ratings again. With Audrina (does she speak?), Lo (yawn), Heidi (no comment necessary), and Stephanie, the surviving cast of The Hills reminds me of your typical high school clique. The addition of Kristin Cavallari looks juicy but is she enough to induce the former cult following? We will see...

This silk tank from Bebe.com has the same silhouette as Pratt's top.

Stay covered up & cozy in this jacket from Topshop.com.

Look anything but desperate in this fabulous fit. Can you blame Stephanie for all of her issues displayed for the public's viewing though? I mean her brother is Spencer...

Currently Lusting: Navy Duds

Trends come and go but you can always rely on nautical navy to get you out of any fashion rut. With retailers offering more and more pieces in this delectable color, dare I say navy is becoming the new black? Pair these navy finds with nude accessories and you'll be breaking hearts in no time.

Shenae Is No Longer Starving

Actress Shenae Grimes is looking fresh faced and fit at an event for InStyle magazine. After receiving flak for her extremely thin frame, it seems Grimes has returned to normal and slipped under the radar. Sadly, losing and gaining weight seems to generate more and more press these days which isn't doing much for unstable youngsters like Mischa Barton. Moving on, let's find Shenae's look on a baby budget.

This blue dress with gold zipper detailing from Urbanoutfitters.com serves as the perfect substitute for Shenae's pricey frock.

And now you have the look for less!

Crikey: The Cropped Top is Back

Pot bellies beware! The cropped top is slowly making it's comeback and the first celeb to try the look is none other than Ms. Lohan. Although the idea is great, this style carries a high risk of going from trendy to trashy in about 2 inches. I personally favor food over fashion so you can also layer the top with anything from a tank to a long sleeved sweater.

Breton Stripe Crop Shirt:

Short Sleeve Scrimmage Shirt:


Tri Blend Crop Top:


Silly Swinger Cropped Top:


Super Dot Crop Top:

Crazy Eyes Lindsay

The outfit is cute but where oh where to begin with the rest? First of all Rapunzel called. She wants her weave back. Secondly, we all know you're crazy. Directing crazy eyes toward the photographers isn't helping your case. And last but not least, attend an event while remaining completely sober. Just once, just to see how it feels.

If you're gonna wear this LBD from Topshop.com, you gotta bring the sass with it.

Now just make sure your hair isn't removable and your eyes say "sane" and you're good to go.

Speckled sunglasses:

Spandex bodysuit:

Hunk of the Month

Kellan Lutz, also known as Emmett Cullen from Twilight looks dapper in his jeans and newsboy cap. Look at those muscles...they're just calling my name from under that loose fit sweater. Can you imagine what he looks like naked? Let's just pray that he has a sex tape coming out soon.

Angie Wows in Black Leather

How does a working woman with six kids look like that? It's so rude that she looks better than most people will ever look. At any age. Well, let me get over my depression by getting the look that us mortals can afford.
