Posh Portfolio: Beckhams Head to London

Team Beckham jetted out of Los Angeles en route to London for the Royal Wedding. She is so fierce and I love that she has her extensions back in!  She's carrying a purse from her own line.

 Finally! We have an actual visible baby bump. Also, is she wearing tights as pants? I'm going to pretend I didn't see that.  I can't wait to see what she wears to the big event.
I know there is a lot of mixed bag emotions regarding the Royal Wedding, but I'm excited for it. Not "set my alarm clock" excited, but looking foward to seeing the photos. Also, I think I'm going to add Pippa to my mental baby name list in case I have 2 girls. Here that IRL friends? It's mine. Does that make me sound cray cray? I'm ok with that.

Still On: Vanessa and Josh

Little Miss Boho seems to be building a solid relationship with co-star Josh Hutcherson. Gotta wonder if this relationship overlapped her time with Zac at all.  Vanessa Hudgens enjoyed a date with her boyfriend at a bowling alley in Hollywood, wearing a Blu Moon dress and All Saints wood-soled heels.



Bump Watch: Natalie and Kate

Natalie Portman bumps around town knocking some errands off her checklist. Glad it seems the NYC weather has warmed up, though I hear it went straight from winter to summer!
 Though she's been dressing pregnant women for years, Rachel Zoe must have a new appreciation of how to make her clients look amazing.  Exhibit A: Kate Hudson on her Something Borrowed press tour in New York in a Prada dress and Casadei heels, and again in an Etro dress (similar to Jessica Simpson's but BETTER) and awesome purple Loubs.

Spring ready in Theyskens and Loubs.

DON's Deal: This and That

First, I hope you are all safe and sound.  I watched yesterday on live feed as a tornado took out my college roommate's hometown. We talked last night and her family is fine, but there is a lot of damage to their cars, homes, and the downtown is just decimated. She sent me this photo of downtown today and it is like something out of a movie set.  If you want to help, please check out my friend and major Auburn Fan's blog for more details.  Another lovely Alabama blogger is Dare to be Domestic, check out her blog, too! (See, I totally know people.)


On a happier note, I will be off to Palm Springs tomorrow morning for my very first Stagecoach! It's a two day country music festival held at the Polo Fields and basically a Country Coachella.  I'm pretty new to country music, but I can tell you there is nobody I'm more excited to see than Carrie Underwood!!  Don't worry, PLL, I will do my best to get some pics and stay on bump watch just in case! I'm heading down with my neighborhood (if you're new here, these are my neighbors from growing up and basically my extended family - we're thicker than thieves), but will also be catching up with my high school friends (yes, that includes you DAK), co-workers, and hopefully fellow blogger Life as a California Wife! If you'll be at Stagecoach, holla at your girl!
Finally, reality tv. Holy cow, there is a lot of it on right now and I seem to be watching all of it.  Weeding through the best (Real Housewives), the worst (Audrina, Saddle Ranch), and the WTF (Sinbad: It's Just Family, Animal Hoarding).  Extreme Couponing is completely fascinating to me. The amount of devotion these people put into it seems insane: I respect finding creative ways to feed your family on a budget, but don't yet understand the need to stock pile diapers when you don't have a child just because they are cheap or free.  I was very happy to see one couponer last night doing shopping for the troops - that's putting your addiction/hobby to good use!  I also really love Braxton Family Values. They are HILARIOUS! Catch it on WE.

More on the Real World after the jump...

Workin' It Out: Reese, Julianne, Kardashians

Katie Holmes was recently announced as the new face of Ann Taylor, but on your average day, you'll find her looking more like this. I'll be fair and say she was leaving the gym, but you know it's not a stretch from her day to day.  Nicole Richie has caught on to the photogs awaiting her departure from Tracy Anderson and was ready for them today.
 Reese Witherspoon snuck in one last workout before catching a flight to Paris. Ah, to have her life!  Julianne Hough and her boyfriend Ryan Seacrest had a personal training session in Miami where they spent Easter. Julianne is in town to film Rock of Ages. 
 The Kardashian girls, plus Kim's boyfriend Kris, all hit the gym today. Want to know one of my most asked questions? Which is my favorite Kardashian.  My answer is that it used to be Kourtney, but Khloe is now my frontrunner. I like her new show, like her husband, like her best friend/assistant Malika, and just generally appreciate her non-fake attitude.  Thoughts? 

US Weekly Party Fashion

Say something nice, DON...Jessica Simpson's hair color looks great! That's all I got. While basically irrelevant, Carmen Electra seems to have managed to take a step towards age appropriate dressing. Happy claps!
 Hayden Panettiere impresses me in her Helmut Lang blazer, Camilla and Marc dress, and, best of all, her Jimmy Choo Glitter tube clutch and heels!  And I totally love Jordin Sparks in an Old Navy (yes, you read that right) top, lace DVF shorts, and Stuart Weitzman heels.  She looks fierce!
 A little illusion to mix up the LBD. Odette Yustman is a winner in Versace.
I actually love Jessica Szohr's choice for once, but the shoes are foul!
  Remember these two? Whitney Port finally outshines Lauren Conrad in my eyes with a GUiSHEM Spring 2011 dress. The shoes are a mis-match, but the dress is gorgeous. Part of LC's charm is being easy to relate to and grounded, however I'm getting really bored with some of her choices. It's Us Magazine! A red carpet to be playful on and take some chances.  I guess she needed to push her new label Paper Crown, but this really looks like something she goes shopping in. Also, I really need her to mix up the hairstyles as well. Over the top knot Lauren! I say it cuz I love ya so.
 It's all relative: reality relatives Kyle Richards strikes a pose with niece Paris Hilton. Anybody interested in Paris' new reality show?

New 'Do: Blake Lively

Ariel, is that you? Blake Lively debuted her new red locks, paired with a seafoam Zuhair Murad gown, made for quite the mermaid styling.  Martha Stewart was tweeting photos from the Time 100 dinner last night and I could tell that Blake's hair was different, but the lightening wasn't great. Now that I see it, I'm not into it. Are you?

Off the Market: Kate Hudson

What a whirlwind year for Kate Hudson! One year ago she met Matt Bellamy at Coachella and now she's in her third trimester with their child (who she thinks will be a girl, but doesn't know) and last week he popped the question!  That is some ring, girl!  She announced it on the Today show while promoting Something Borrowed.

TriBeCa Film Fest & Chanel Dinner Fashion

Chanel hosted a dinner party in association with the TriBeCa film festival last night and drew out brand fans Chloe Sevigny, Naomi Watts, and Rose Byrne.  Do you think Chloe's look is what LeAnn Rimes was attempting on Easter? Because Chloe's is a million times better. I love Naomi in gold Chanel, she is glowing!
 The boys were there too. Oh hi Zach Braff and Adrien Brody.
 The Olsens ended their run of complimenting twin outfits with Ashley in the Row and Mary Kate in Prada fur and Balenciaga pants/heels. Not gonna lie, those heels are pretty fierce. 
How amazing does Eva Mendes look in this Gucci dress and Jimmy Choo heels? On point!

Shoes on the Brain

 Two of my favorite things are shoes and organizing so on a slow news day like today, this is what I think about.  I've had a blueprint for my dream closet (and by dream, I mean fantasy land status) in my head for years. The best feature? It will have a mini fridge so I can hydrate (read: pre-party) as necessary without leaving my closet. Bam! That's fancy, huh?

In college, my closet was tiny, but nothing compared to what I moved into in San Francisco. Minuscule! I'm fortunate to now have a nice walk-in and believe me when I say I hang out in there. I will bring my computer in and watch movies while I fold or steam clothes, organize jewelry for upcoming trips, or rework my inspiration board - yes I have one in my closet for outfit ideas!

Recently, Elle did a photoshoot with Khloe Kardashian featuring her favorite possessions and I think she might have my favorite shoe collections of all time. This is how I organize my heels on a much, much, much smaller scale. I'm a little bitter about heels after developing chronic seismoiditis a few years ago (when up on the ball of my left foot, it feels like there is a pebble just below my big toe - freaking hurts!), but I still wear them on special occasions and when I do, there is nothing dainty about them. Lift me up, sky high!
Another girl with a very enviable closet is Interior Design blogger Honey We're Home. Swoon, right?

Young Hollywood Celebrates LV: Emmas, Ashley, Freida

Ashley Greene and Frieda Pinto are both Glamour cover girls of the moth. Their photos were celebrated at a preview party at the LV store in Beverly Hills, where they both arrived in the brand.
 Emmas Stone and Roberts also turned up in LV.  Emma Stone is such a style winner this year, I'm so proud of her choices! She's on my short list of best dressed PYTs. 

Off the Market: KCav

On an impromptu trip to Cabo for  Easter, Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler, 27, popped the question to girlfriend Kristin Cavallari, 24.  The couple have been together about 9 months.  Here they are returning home from their trip yesterday.

High Flying Fashion: Dianna, Mena, Demi, Alexa

Guess what? I have two full weeks without a plane flight in my schedule! That doesn't mean I'm not leaving town, but hey, I'm happy to take a little break from LAX. Some celebs aren't quite so lucky. Alexa Chung catches a red eye flight while Rob Pattinson boards in the St. Thomas sunshine after shooting scenes for Breaking Dawn.

Demi Lovato is all smiles as she grabs a flight with her dad. I hope she is as happy is she has seemed lately.
   Mena Suvari is a total chameleon and more often than not, I hate what she wears. However, she looks super cute here (because I love trenches and oversized sunnies) as she grabs a flight out of London. Cory Monteith heads to NYC to join his Glee cast as they shoot the season finale.
Dianna Agron does the same, looking super adorable in a Sauce tunic, Tory Burch Elle boots, and Max Mara accessories.  This is a pretty ideal travel outfit in my eyes.
