Spring Trend - Side Braids

Leave it to the genius Alexander Wang to start a huge trend...the side braid seen at his Spring 2010 runway show. It looks so chic and effortless...I am loving this for spring. The best way to wear this is messy! Here are some tips...Just part your hair on the side, gather and braid. When the braid is placed let a few strands loose. If you want to go uber-intense, tease the hair at the crown before braiding. This will give you that crazy, "I've just crawled out of a cave" look which is so in at the moment!

Happy Friday!

Obsession du Jour

I have been lusting over this bag for weeks now...thought I would share.

Alexander Wang Coco Duffel

Isn't it just perfect?

Alexander Wang

Look familiar? It is the dress Kim Kardashian was wearing on this weeks Hot Mess Monday. It looks SO much better in all black, or does it look so much better because she is not wearing it?Tough one. Anyway, I love it in black and I thought I would share it. If you must have it in your life go to Net-A-Porter and order your very own. Make sure your breast doesn't try to make a break for it though.

Fabulous Friday - Khloe Kardashian

Ok, I know I posted Khloe Kardashian as the Fabulous Friday celeb just a few weeks ago, but she has been looking is amazing lately and I feel the need to give her credit. Also, how hot is that dress?I love it! Khloe really rocked this LBD by Alexander Wang at a charity event in Vegas. She paired it with simple pointed toe pumps and immaculate make up and hair, as per usual.

Happy Friday!!
