It's Understood That Hollywood Sells Californication

I spent the better part of an hour yesterday going through images on the website of one of Hollywood's hottest young photographers, Tyler Shields...probably best known for his shoot of Lindsay Lohan as Linda Lovelace.  Artistic, violent, edgy, passionate - there was no shortage of great shots.  Above are some of my favorites (and one of Lindsay, for reference).

Best Dressed: Oscars '11

To be honest I didn't think there were a ton of hits on the Oscars 2011 red carpet.  But, a few women (and one girl) looked fantastic.  Mila Kunis' dress seemed like it was made for her, and how perfectly lovely and age-appropriate was Hailee Steinfeld?

The hit list: Mila Kunis in Elie Saab Haute Couture, Anne Hathaway in vintage Valentino Haute Couture, Sandra Bullock in Vera Wang, Cate Blanchette in Givenchy Haute Couture, Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa and Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier.

Everyone's IT Bag

{Céline Clutches}

It seems that lately Céline bags are all the rage.  For months their totes have had me wishing I had a (much) higher handbag budget, and the past few weeks street style blogs have been filled with photographs of these fantastic, simple clutches tucked under stylishly-clad arms on their way to the F/W shows.  Needless to say, I was pretty happy to discover that there's a wallet-friendly alternative out there that won't have me breaking the bank in the name of accessorizing.  Pictured below with Carolina Engman, American Apparel's $53 version is affordable, available online, and the perfect IT bag for spring.
