Quite a Charmer

On my regular shopping day, I scouted the streets high and low, until I was charmed by this adorable, unique, colorful, eye-catching piece of jewelery. One word to describe it? "It." Not the kind of ick or crazy, but the happy. I know this may sound weird, but the moment I saw it, my feet just sprung with happiness. I found this bracelet at the store Anthropologie. The Lucky Meld Bracelet (that's what it's called) is totally versatile type of piece, and although not as practical as the Toywatch I featured, is so super cute. Handmade in the USA, has a lobster clasp, contains accents of color, and is 7.5"L". You may probably think, do I really need this? I would say yes! I have said this may times, but this bracelet is memorable. This bracelet is so geometric, and very different than many other pieces I've seen.

Little Miss Sunshine

Are you a fan of "The Clique"? Then you are so in luck. Our very own Bridgit Mendler a.k.a. Kristen Gregory got an interview for Glambition about her style, and a little about her upcoming movie! Excited or what? Here is the interview I had with her. Enjoy!

Q: What would you say is your personal style? Is it kind of like Kristen's?
A: My personal style is a little more casual than Kristen's, because Kristen has a fairly high fashion style in the movie. My personal style i don't think really has a label. I like casual but chic. I like skinny jeans, boots, vests, scarves, and jewelry. Finding the right combinations of those items and others is really fun, although just hanging around in sweatpants and a t-shirt is great.

Q: What stores do you love shopping at?
A: I love stores like Urban Outfitters and Lucky.

Q: Do you have a fave celeb alpha you look up to?
A: I really look up to celebrities who are in acting not to be famous, but because they love their craft like Ellen Page. I also like funny actors like Will Ferrel and Sarah Silverman.

Q: What make-up can you not live without?
A: I really love chapstick. That would probably be my favorite make-up.

Q: Who are your favorite designers?
A: I really like Gucci's style this season along with Burberry's accessories. I love their rocker style, I just have to find a way to pull it off.

Q: What was your favorite experience of being part of "The Clique Movie"?
A: My favorite experience as a part of the Clique Movie is hard to choose because the whole time I've just had so much fun! I loved the day that Tyra Banks came to set, it was really cool to meet her, I also liked goofing off with all the girls on and off set, running around like crazy in the hotel, and some of the scenes we shot like one where he had to jump into the pool were really fun.

Q: What was your favorite piece of clothing you got to wear on the set of "The Clique"? Did you keep any of the clothes?
A: I really liked this outfit that was a dark blue Diane Von Furstenburg jacket with black high heeled boots and a headband.

Last Question (sigh): What is your #1 fashion tip for girls out there?
A: I know this sounds cheesy, but the number one fashion tip for girls would be confidence. You can rock any outfit so long as you aren't worrying about what other people think about it. Besides that, I think learning how to match by not matching all the time (if that makes any sense) can add a lot of character to style.
Best Wishes,Bridgit Mendler

She Conquered in Style

Shirely McClaine is Coco Chanel. As you all know, Coco was the one invented Chanel No. 5, the Little Black Dress, but most of all changed the way women dressed today. If it wasn't for her, we probably wouldn't even be wearing our favorite pair of pants let alone showing any of our legs. This movie is a Lifetime Movie event ( http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/movies/coco-chanel)
I just watched this movie, and gives it 4/5. It was very dramatic, and so inspirational to me. I think everyone will get a message out of this movie. You can catch the movie later tonight at 7:00 P.M. Tell me what you think of the movie!

The Other Lanvin Girl

She is a officially one of my favorite Hollywood actresses, and fashion icons. She has starred in several movies such as Where the Heart Is, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, and finally my personal favorite The Other Boleyn Girl. Several girls at my school call her their role model. "She's a great actress," quotes Taylor. "Not only that, but seems to come off so caring and warm."
For the December/January Issue of Teen Vogue. Portman quoted she hearts Lavin. If you haven't noticed, on the red carpet, she's always pulling off a Lavin Frock. She was recently spotted in a white one at . She was also seen on the addicting Bravo's Project Runway as one of the judges for a challenge. Do you have a favorite role model? Tell me, and I'll post it at the end of September! Natalie Portman is a legend, and it's going to stay that way. Is her outfit cheap or chic?

Constance Billard's Guide to Style

"A lot of us try to bend the rules when it comes to our uniforms," quotes Charlotte, 17 (see Teen Vogue Dec./Jan. '08). In the article Uptown Girls girls speak out, and tell readers that the fashions you see on Gossip Girl are definitely not realistic. Of course, that does not mean we can still wear something like it. This fall a huge trend is the preppy collegiate look. Blair seems to know how it works, but what really does happen to all those private school A-Listers? I love Gossip Girl, and I have to say the character wardrobes make you want to step right into their shoes. So what are these preppy essentials?

Prep Essential #1: The Snug Blazer. They are huge this season, and make such a fashion statement. What really great if it has a crest www.ralphlauren.com, which gives it that really cool prep feel. Black, brown, ivory, or navy is the perfect color for a blazer. It's memorable, yet fashionable.

Prep Essential #2: The Plaid Skirt. A hard search, but is a must-have in everyone's closet. Not only that but is great, and goes with practically anything. Serena van dor Woodsen shows it off great on GG, and we hope to see this cute pattern on the runways-wait it is already! Check out www.saksfifthavenue.com for this one of kind necessity.

Prep Essential #3: Cozy Cashmere V-Necks. Will keep you warm this whole winter! They are great for a quick rush in the morning, and give a great pop of color to your wardrobe. I have stocked up on tons already, and hope to buy more as times to come. I went to www.jcrew.com and got mine from there.

Prep Essential #4: The Rugby Scarf. This is one of my favorite accessories, and probably the most fun to play around in. I love all the different ways you can tie it. It's something also that special touch of color. Amazon.com has the best prices. They are only $5.00!

Prep Essential #5: The Knit Beret. You can say as much as you want that it is not preppy, but it is. It gives any outfit something very cute to pull it altogether. White is the best, but I also love grey and pink. Check out www.nordstrom.com and remember to pick a color that flatters you face!
