Just What We All Needed

Shanae Grimes is documenting her incredible personal style on her blog. Hopefully she can convince other style icons like Mischa and Kiki to do the same. Let's look back at some of her work.
Enjoy!

Out and About: Alba, Moore, Kerr, Tisdale

Lots of celeb ladies out and about this week. Jessica Alba ran errands before meeting up with her stylist Brad Goreski for his book launch party. I reluctantly think I will have to retire my pink blazer now that I see them in every single store. On to the next color.  Brad put her in his other biggest client, Kate Spade, who threw the party for him at Sunset Towers. Also present were Minka Kelly and Mandy Moore. 
Mandy is becoming quite the fan of Lela Rose dresses. Minka is in Kate Spade's Pippa dress. Everybody got glasses to look more like Brad. They probably should have given out sequined bow ties and studded loafers, too.

A little less polished than usual, Emma Watson did some shopping in LA, as did Jennifer Love Hewitt. 
 Newly single and celebrating her 37th birthday, Eva Longoria did a coffee run in Beverly Hills. Mandy Moore ran errands as well. She has been so quiet lately, but we will see more of her. She has a new ABC Family comedy filming a pilot for Fall with Stockard Channing playing her mama.
 Kristin Cavallari is proving to be one adorable preggo. She picked up some dinner in Los Angeles after her return from Cabo. Not only does Khloe Kardashian have a rockin' tan, but I love her Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent cardi! Very western desert chic and great Spring colors.
 I'll say it again - kind of loving the wide variety of pants that are cool right now. Want to wear cropped skinnies like Miranda? Go for it. Want to wear comfy harem pants like Ashley? That's cool. Wide leg? Fair game. Whatever suits you is probably fine!
But no mom jeans! I never get sick of this skit or singing it to my mother. Love ya!

DON's Dishes: Hawaiian Salad

I'm so glad a bunch of you have tried some of my recipes; I love hearing from those of you who do!  Cooking and baking are a huge passion of mine. Here's one I tweeted about awhile back, but forgot to share.

One of the best salads in my life was at Merriman's on the Big Island.  That rolling drive away from the shore and over to the restaurant was completely worth the amazing tropical salad I had. Mine had grilled shrimp on it and I think this recipe would also welcome that addition. Is it summer yet?

Fashion Post: January, NicRic, Kate, Sofia

 Lots to discuss today, fashion wise. At the 21 Jump Street premiere Elie Kemper sported a retro Oscar de la Renta that is very sweet on her. Jenna Dewan loves her some Marchesa and she is wearing Notte by Marchesa. Purty. 
Cobie Smulders falls into that category of celeb who usually wears something so tragic, but her navy Nina Ricci goes well with her fantastic hair and makeup. Hooray for improvements! (Let's pretend we don't see the shoes, ok?)
 At the Mad Men premiere party January Jones is a vision in Roland Mouret. Isn't she just stunning? And the dress is very interesting, which suits her semi-daring fashion sense. Allison Brie mixed up her prim look a little, but didn't veer too far out of the box. 
 Ashley Judd has a new show to promote and I love seeing her out and about. She is one of my favs.  Amanda Peet is not my fav, I can't really explain what bugs me about her, but it's there. She wore Lela Rose for a talk show appearance.
 Mena Suvari is loving the attention she is regaining from promoting the final American Pie installment. She, along with Kate Mara and Emma Roberts, attended a Tracy Reese and Clos du Bois event called Chic Picnique.  
 For Paley Fest's talk with the Modern Family cast, Sarah Hyland wore a retro paisley What Goes Around  Comes Around dress ($300) and Sofia Vergara wore, of course, Dolce and Gabbana.
 Julie Bowen has a lot of hits and some big misses. I like this dress on her, but hate all of her accessories.
Nicole Richie continues to look amazing while promoting Fashion Star.  Her bright What Comes to Mind harem pants stand out with her uber cool accessories. I seriously must have these glasses, I just need to decided black or tortoise; she makes both look appealing. 
 On WWHL she sported a suit and some pink lips. She must have like no hair, look how tiny her top knot is!

Celebrating Hollywood's Best Stylist

The Hollywood Reporter released their annual top 25 Most Powerful Stylist report and we know these men and women deserve much of the credit behind how amazing our favorite celebs look. Taking over for Rachel Zoe (who is now stated as too big to include) is Kate Young, who styles Michelle Williams, Natalie Portman, and Rachel Weisz. Number 2 is Leslie Fremar, stylist to Charlize, Julianne Moore, ScarJo, and Reese.  And Number 3 is the stellar Petra Flannery, responsible for Zoe Saldana, Claire Danes, Mila Kunis, Megan Fox and Emma Stone.
 Full list after the jump.

Hunger Games London Premiere Fashion

Dang Elizabeth Banks kills it again! At the Hunger Games premiere in London, she chose another citrus color (lime next?) dress by the almost always perfect Bill Blass. I think Bill Blass is one of the most overlooked designer choices. Does she not look incredible?
 Give us some back girl! Here's the team. What the what is Josh wearing? He looks like a troll! Baby grandpa trend next?
 Jennifer Lawrence tried another gold dress and this one is waaaaay better.  Of course it is, it is Ralph Lauren. A little safer, but still a standout, and her hair is more tamed messy than OOC. Love. 
Who looked better Elizabeth or Jennifer?

Fashion Post: Kerr, Palermo, Williams, Richie

 Last night's Paley Fest featured Mad Men with these two sexy beasts. Look Skinny Runner! I told you tights are still ok to wear in LA. ;) January Jones is wearing a *gasp* gorgeous Jenny Packham shift dress. Take notes, Hudgens! She also has pink highlights weaved throughout her hair. I guess they have already wrapped for the season!
 Kim Kardashian wore a blonde wig while stopping by a bookstore in LA yesterday. Not so much her color. Beyonce took her daughter for a stroll in NYC. That is one styling new mama. Please help Jessica Simpson, pretty please.
Now I don't always or often agree with Rachel Bilson's eclectic meets preppy taste, but this is spot on. I love that colorful pants are in whether they are tight and cropped or wide legged. These are Isabel Marant pants and, her fav, Vanessa Bruno blazer and top. She has such a collection of Vanessa Bruno blazers I'm curious to try some on myself. 

 How insanely gorgeous is Michelle Williams in that pink Valentino? Unreal. Her Alexander McQueen white gown is also phenomenal. How does this girl not have a skin care contract yet?
 We've seen the Current/Elliott Stiletto leopard print jeans in grey and gold...but the blue is where it's at. These are the hottest jeans for spring for sure. Miranda Kerr sported hers a Rag and Bone tee, Dries Van Noten cropped jacket, those TDF cat eyed Diors that I covet big time, and a Celine tote as she leaves the spa. Life is rough, right girl? 
Only Miranda could have me swooning for Fall this close to summer in a Marni coat like that. As much as I love this, I love the navy with black trim version even more. It's a cool $2,000, but she looks like a million bucks.
Nicole Richie wore Julien MacDonald to the premiere party for Fashion Star last night. I love gold metal belts right now, like love love and can't stop searching for one, but somehow the gold with the yellow with her straw yellow hair and yellowish skin tone is too much. And the dress looks oddly cheap to me. I know it ain't. Speaking of cheap, Rihanna really has an odd vibe going lately, more so than usual. She needs to fall in love stat. 
 Only the super skinny can pull off Paige's tie dyed jeans. Olivia Palermo is that girl. Her purse is Armani. She is amazing at looking casual yet completely upscale and pulled together.
