Kim Kardashian has undergone a makeunder in recent weeks, and while it does look great, I sort of miss the over-the-top-super-sexy Kim. Kim recently stepped out with fresh, light makeup, a floral frock and a beautiful nude clutch. It’s understated and definitely sexy, even if it isn’t the old Kim. I love the soft lilac color in her dress mixed with nude everywhere else. It looks like sometimes less is a heck of a lot more!

Salvatore Ferragamo made his name as the “Shoemaker to the stars” as he dressed everyone from Eva Peron, Marilyn Monroe to today’s A-list ladies like Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Lope.
Saturday, starting at Noon, the designer is having a limited time secret sample sale online where prices start at a mere $69. Look for the Marisa bag (pictured above) as well as other fabulous accessories. Register and shop here.
That Alexander Wang is certainly getting around. In addition to being a favorite with indie “it” girls like Erin Wasson and Alice Dellal, his designs are also getting play with more mainstream starlets like Rihanna and, now, Fergie, who paired his Donna Hobo with her rock-influenced skinny jeans, black top, and sexy cut-out heels. I think this look is a slam-dunk–hip and rock star-ish without looking costumey or contrived.

Kylie Minogue’s certainly come a long way from those skirt/bike short combos she wore (and I begged my mom to buy) in the ‘0s. The Australian mega-star fopted a more grown-up navy and white polka-dot frock and a hat with a matching band, plus one divine complementary Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote. Though the hat is a bit overkill for me (anyone else picturing Julia Roberts doing the Arsenio fist pump at the Beverly Hills polo match?), Kylie’s assembled a nice, ladylike ensemble. I’d steal that purse in a heartbeat (hypothetically speaking, of course).

Who knew Kelly Osbourne had a political streak? The rock royal joined her boyfriend to protest California’s Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage, and she brought her black Alexander Wang Donna Hobo along for the ride. Sporting two large pouches and a prominent zip down the middle, the handbag is a recent favorite among the downtown crowd. Kelly may have lost the good fight, but she’s a style winner in our book.

Whoa. How’d Daisy Duke get her hands on a Gucci bag? Oh, wait, that’s just Lindsay Lohan, randomly pairing her summery cropped (read: way too short) peasant blouse, fringed sandals, and cropped (read: again, WAY too short) cut-offs with an elegant Gucci monogrammed carry-all. Love the Gucci, but it looks totally wrong with this youthful, beach bimbo-y look, don’t you think? I know La Lohan is going through some tough times, but there’s no need to take it out on a poor defenseless designer handbag.

Leggings and rolled-up jean shorts? Say it ain’t so, Katie Holmes! Oh well - at least Madame Cruise knows how to pick a fabulous designer purse. I love her slim and sleek white tote, which would be great for carrying my laptop around in style. The design is classic, sophisticated, and also summery. Just ignore the lackluster outfit bringing it down. So, can you name the designer?

Whoa, MK! That’s a lot of prints to handle for one outfit, my dear. Mary-Kate Olsen boldly paired her Cobsy-esque Topshop sweater dress with a funky striped Marni purse (note the round handle) and I for one am not feeling it. The handbag isn’t one of Marni’s best, and would really only work with a solid frock. The busy-ness of the sweater dress is just way too much. But hey, to each her own.

Damn, it must feel good to be a style gangsta. The always perfectly decked-out Dita Von Teese wowed once again in her peep-toe Louboutins, retro-styled snakeskin trench (so Audrey!), and a delicious Yves Saint Laurent Obi handbag. To. Die. For. I love the purse’s stone color - a nice, soft neutral for the warmer months - and elephant ear-esque bow flaps. I would literally wear this outfit as is. Care to share, my dear?
