Mischa Barton Kills it in French Elle

Oh Mischa Barton, poor sad Mischa!
Mischa, Mischa, Mischa, please get it together!

You know you are not suppose to drink alcohol and take antibiotics! And this past Memorial day you are rolling on the floor screaming, you are about to die?! What is that about!

However it must be stated that Barton shot a fashion spread for French Elle and killed it! Maybe she was taking antibiotics and drinking alcohol. Whatever the case she looked extremely amazing, ridiculously elegant and insanely polished.

Don't die on us yet Mischa! Seems as if you have a lot of great fashion shoots ahead of you!

MR. RALPH LAUREN

Mr. Ralph Lauren was honored by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) for a lifetime achievement. Lauren more than deserves it! His expansive career has brought individual style, home style and sports style to the masses. Mr. Lauren, we honor you!

Let's take a quick look at the career life of one of the great American designers:

1978 Polo Western wear launches. Bronx raised Lauren would scourer thrift shops looking for used Levis until he created his own brand of denim.

1978-2001 How can a man with a polo logo not love horses? Lauren gives us the equestrian look. His muse was the avid horse rider.

1981 Santa Fe collection. Lauren shows us the new look of Arizona/Mexican style

1983 Home Furnishing. Lauren starts a home furnishing line that contains sheets, towels, flatware, glassware, light fixtures, furniture and even paint.

1998 RLX line for the sports enthusiasts launches

2005 Polo is the official apparel sponsor of the U.S. Open through 2008

And Mr. Lauren continues to stay current, relevant and fresh with his Rugby line catering to college kids.

TRENDS, TRENDS TRENDS!

Trends can be tricky. Trends can be fresh as hell or trends can look horribly foolish. Well Style Spotter has spotted some spring/summer trends that you can try. Send me some pics in these trends! Show our readers how to rock them best!

Finger Free Gloves
This trend started by Karl Lagerfeld, can be seen on the runways as well as on the hands of the hottest "it" girls! It adds a touch of rock and roll to any sweet outfit.


Light Weight Scarves
Spring nights and days (global warming ya'll) can be cool. So wrap a light cotton or silk scarf around your neck to add some extra warmth.


White Mini Dress
White is hot as hell this summer. And the white mini dress is even hotter!


Rainbow Bright Jeans
No it's not 1987, but color jeans has made a major comeback in 2007. While we are in a sea of whites this summer, stand out in bold jean colors.


Cut Off
Please do not buy cut off jeans. Style Spotter is so serious. It is so unnecessary. Take an old pair of jeans and cut them to the length (shorter the better) that works best for you. Or go to salvation army and buy used jeans and cut those. It will make Style Spotter very upset to hear you spend $150 on cut off shorts!


Yo' Mama Jeans
Personally Style Spotter will always LOVE the skinny jean. It makes legs look long, sleek and... well skinny. However this season brings us different styles. High waisted jeans and full flared jeans are back in full effect. No longer reserved for stay at homes moms!

WHITE HOT SUMMER

Ok so it seems as if white is definitely the summer staple! And Louis Vuitton has exactly what you need to fall in step with everything white for your summer needs.

LV Monte Carlo Loafer

LV Ode Sunglasses

Cannes, Can Deliver Great Fashion

Cannes film festival is under way. Actors, directors, producers and wannabees alike flock to the South of France to promote their movie and look ohh so fabulous while doing so.

The king and queen of the grand ball was of course Bradley Pitt and Angeline Jolie. The couple looked amazing and graceful while showing viewers what old Hollywood glamour can be done in a stylish and modern way.

Here are a few more pics from the Cannes red carpet:

CHANEL Cruise Collection

Karl Lagerfeld, one of Style Spotter's fav. designers, is the head designer of his own line and most importantly head designer at The House of Chanel.

Mr. Lagerfeld brought his audacious, over-the-top personality to the Chanel "Resort" show on Friday, May18th at a Santa Monica plane hangar. The theme: Jet Set. The clothes: Spectacular The mood: Energized. There was a standing ovation even before the models hit the runway. When the models did emerged, they came out from Challenger 601 jets which approached the runway.

"Airports and flying have become a nightmare," Lagerfeld had said backstage a few minutes earlier. "L.A. is about the dream of private jets and beautiful cars and glamour. Cruise collections are about the dream of freedom."

Ciara Rocs

Ciara has been named the new face of the woman's Rocawear line. Jay Z is such a smart man. Ciara is on top of her game right now. Best album amongst he counterparts (check!), best dance moves (check!) and best body (check, check, check!!) Congratulations Princesses C!




Styles Ciara could Roc!

Lovely Lady of the Day

Rhianna has made Style Spotter's Lovely Lady of the Day. Now, while she does not have the best vocals (*shrug* her voice and accent bugs Style Spotter out *shrug*) she is a very lovely lady. Rhianna did a shoot for Essence Magazine and she looked amazing, toned and ready for summer!

SHOP GIRLS

High fashion model Kate Moss and high fashion designer Donatella Versace both had in-store events this week.

Moss' U.K. Top Shop line has made it's way to the U.S. via Barneys of all places. The moderately priced line which offers a pretty girl rock and roll sensibility will offer 26 pieces to all Moss clones.

Also Ms. Donatella introduced her new perfume, Versace to the Saks Fifth Avenue patrons. "A woman is not completely dressed without a few drops of fragrance," said the designer, who supervised the creation of the day-to-night scent, which contains notes of black currant, lotus flower, angel wing jasmine, and purple wisteria.

Let the Fashion Show Begin!

The Annual Costume Institute Gala was held last night at Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera House. This year's event celebrates the work of Paul Poiret, an artist and couturier considered France's "King of Fashion" before World War I.

Every year Style Spotter looks forward to this major fashion event. This is the event where one must be fashionable, daring and clever with their choice of gowns. This is the event where couture reigns and playing it safe mean go home!

Check out a few of Style Spotter's best and worse dressed.

The use of color has a way of forcing you to stand out. One must be confident, very certain of themselves and not afraid to be noticed.

TAKE THAT EFFIN' RISK
There is something to be said for those who take a risk and succeed. Style Spotter sees these women as risk GRABBERS who overcame the risk of dress/suite choices for the night.

Iman w/ David Bowie looks distinguished and elegant in Stella McCartney.

Mary Kate Olsen donned a feather gown and was able to wear the dress, as oppose to the dress wearing M.K.

Rhianna has turned into a "bad" girl in this gown with lace gloves.

Angie Harmon stunted in her bejewelled yellow and green gown.

LOVES IT!

Parker Posey this is something Style Spotter expects from you, a dress that looks war torn. However, Marc Jacobs you should know better.

Ohhh Ms. Margherita Missoni why????
