Oh Fashion!

So sorry you have not seen any new posts. Been a little down and so hard to talk about wonderful, lovely fashion when one feels like... Ugly Betty's poncho sweater, totally confused and awkward. Anyway I will try.

Movie premiers have a way of bringing out beautiful people to the red carpet. And two ladies who were spotted by Style Spotter are Angelina Jolie and Cameron Diaz.




















Angie looked stunning in a $26 black vintage dress at the New York premiere of her film A Mighty Heart.






















Cameron D. looked so fresh at her Madrid premier for Shrek The Third.

Lovely Lady of the Day!

ALICIA KEYS has made our lovely lady of the day! Style Spotter is so happy about this. Why? Because in the past Alicia has looked... well somewhat homely. There it was said. It's been said. Sorry! That does not take away from Alicia's lovely voice and amazing talent! She is and will always be a shining star. However a fashionista she was not, up until now!

Ms. Keys attend the Fresh Air Fund event looking fresh and fun! Thank you Alicia for stepping up your game. And Proactiv does work! (sorry(shrug))

BONO REALLY LOVES AFRICA

Bono was a guest editor for Vanity Fair's July issue. Bono, being Bono, was able to gather "A list" celebs to grace 20 different covers which were all shot by Annie Lebowitz. On each cover the celebs whisper into another's ear in hopes of spreading the message - Bono's idea, which was brilliant.

This post has nothing to do with fashion. Well, it is fashionable to care and so it deserves to be spotted!

Movie Awards FASHION

Of course the MTV Movie Awards are about acknowledging the awesome movies. But you cannot have an awards show and not talk about the red carpet fashion. Well in this case the pink carpet.

On June 3rd, MTV rolled out all the stops to produce an action pack show, full of adventure (Paris Hilton goes to jail!), comedy (Sarah Silverman talks about penis and balls) and drama (Cameron Dian and Jessica Biel avoid one another on the carpet).

But for Style Spotter the highlight of the show was spotting fresh fashion on the sweet pink carpet. However there was none to be found :(

Celebs played it safe and ordinary. (shrug) There was no excitement, no thrill, no jealous shriek of how Style Spotter covets a dress. Do you agree or disagree? Here are a few pics:

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!
