I am all about the Jessica Simpson Collection, especially the handbags. These are some of my picks that I found at Amazon.

Kate Winslet and Catherine Deneuve

With her Golden Globes wins and potential Oscar in sight, this year Kate Winslet is certainly becoming a style icon and renowned actress. In the December edition of Vanity Fair she posed for a provocative photo shoot. Kate is looking amazing and I can't wait to see what she wears to the Oscars!

These risqué photos were a tribute to Catherine Deneuve in the 1967 film Belle de Jour. Since I didn't know much about Catherine Deneuve, I wanted to find out a bit more about this french actress and fashion icon. She is considered the muse of Yves Saint Laurent, as he dressed her in several films including Belle de Jour. She was also the face of Chanel No. 5 in the 1970s and in 2007 she was in Louis Vuitton luggage ads. Now I definitely want to check out the french film Belle de Jour.Kate+Winslet+Vanity+Fair+CoverKate Winslet in Vanity FairKate Winslet in Vanity FairCatherine DeneuveCatherine Deneuve

Long Cardigan

Have a cardi party with these long cardigans. Be advised that long cardigans are not to be confused with 'wraps', which are also trendy right now. I'm liking longer lightweight buttoned cardigans with either 3/4 length or full length sleeves in colors like navy and grey. It's kind of a casual prep school style. I found these at American Eagle and American Apparel. Celebs like Kate Hudson, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale are wearing this trend.American Eagle Classic CardiganKate Hudson CardiganAmerican Apparel Unisex Solid Rib Oversized Pocket CardiganVanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale in Cardigans

Stylista Fans

So, I've been wanting to talk about the reality t.v. show Stylista since it ended back in December, even though I might have been the only person who watched it. It was on the CW and was produced by Tyra Banks. Johanna Cox, who was a Chinese-military analyst beforehand, was named the winner. Highlights of the show included guest judge appearances by Zac Posen and Eve who posed for the cover of Elle magazine for the finale. You also would have loved Anne Slowey, fashion news director of Elle, who was very 'Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada' throughout the show. And Megan, the onetime owner of a boutique named Addict, who was an extremely bitchy yet stylish contestant. Johanna won a paid editorial position at Elle, a paid lease on an apartment in Manhattan and a 1 year clothing allowance at H&M valued at $100,000. A great prize if you ask me!Stylista JohannaStylista MeganStylista Anne SloweyStylista Cast

Reitmans Ad-Campaign

Hello fashion lovers! So I know that if you've heard of Reitmans you probably know that it may not be the most fashionable of stores, but I think it's coming around especially with this ad-campaign. I'm not sure which of these 6 commercials that I like best, but I love how outrageous the haute couture clothing looks. Plus I've always liked the idea of turning haute couture clothing into something wearable, even though I know that's not exactly the point of these commercials.

Also, the one guy in the commercials reminds me of Anthony, played by Mario Cantone, on Sex and the City. He was so funny!Sex and the City Anthony Marentino and Charlotte

Mario Badescu Skin Care

The Mario Badescu Skin Care line has a huge celebrity following and I've seen their famous best selling drying lotion advertised in magazines for years. So I decided to order this product to see for myself and now I'm hooked. This calamine spot treatment is said to be good for all skin types, but be careful to use it only where you need to. Be aware that it is potent and it will dry out your skin if used improperly.Mario Badescu Skin Care Drying Lotion

I have been completely lusting over the Juicy Couture Day Dreamer Velour Tote's for quite some time now. Especially the nardels (pink) / depp (brown) color combination. These bags are made with velour and leather trim. I love the big bow and charms attached. This 2008 version has Juicy Couture and fairy-tale embroidery on the front.Juicy Couture Day Dreamer Velour Tote
