Trend Radar: Black & Hot Pink

I've been seeing this color combination a lot lately, and I happen to like the punkiness of it. And I certainly hope we keep seeing more of it in the future.

Hollywood Celebrates at the Kids' Choice Awards

At last night at the KCA's, hosted by Jack Black, it was a mish-mosh of Young Hollywood (with the exception of Cameron Diaz). On the fashion side, it was an okay night, Hayden looked better than Rihanna in my opinion. But take a look for yourself:

{Hayden Panettiere in Leila Azhar; completely appropriate and adorable}

{Rihanna in an H&M top and Stella McCartney jeans; I like each alone, not together}

{Ashlee Simpson in Alexander McQueen; it's classy-punk, I love it}

{Cameron Diaz in Missoni; perfection, trendy and right for the event}

{America Ferrara in David Meister; lovely, but too fancy & hate the wedges}

{Emile Hirsch in Vans shoes; he might as well not wear clothes, he's so hot}

{Shia LaBeouf also in Vans sneaks; love his whole getup, especially the cardi}

News: Go International, Year Round

With the success of Target's Go International line, which has featured designers such as Behnaz Sarafpour and Proenza Schouler in the past, has now expanded into a 365-day brand. Now, in between collections, Target will offer the Go International Private Label Collection, designed in-house, which will be in stores April 13. But this first batch of clothes will only be in stores for one month, so hurry. And a plus, it's completely affordable, $17-$50. Here are a few of my picks:

Trend Radar: Neckties

Not a bowtie, not a tie; these neckties hit the perfect balance between them. They're ultimately feminine, and totally hot right now.

Red Carpet Style: Kate Bosworth

Kate is certainly carving her own pathway in fashion. In the past few years she's been on my radar; (I just adored her when she was promoting Superman). But more recently she's looked extremely classicly beautiful on the red carpet promoting this weekend's sure-to-be-hit 21. I can't wait to see the movie; nor can I wait to see what she'll be wearing next.

News: Ashlee Simpson- Wet Seal Designer

It seems like all the celebs are hopping on the designing bandwagon! Word is, the younger Simpson sister is set to design a tee shirt line for Wet Seal. Considering their prices, I gather it will be highly affordable, so no need to start saving up!

News: Michelle Tratchenberg on the Gossip Girl Set

The newest member of the prime-time teen soap opera hit the NYC set yesterday looking fierce (except for that puffy coat, which I do not endorse). Her character is rumored to be a girl by the name of Georgina Sparks who causes some trouble for Serena. Ooooh, I can't wait another month!

Thandie's Dress- Three Trends in One?

Yes; it is possible to find a dress so trendy, yet so chic. In this Matthew Williamson frock Thandie Newton was able to accomplish just that; the three trends, (as if you don't know) are tiered, bright, and ruffled.

Beauty Blog: How To- Leighton Meester's Eyes

Recently the Upper East Sider's makeup has been stunning. Here's how you can get the looks yourself.

Pearlescent Shadow: Rim eyes with eye liner all over, then smudge with a Q-tip. Next, spread the frosty white cream shadow over your entire lid and along the lower lashline and apply mascara to all lashes. Although depending on your complexion, this look is best worn with a soft pink lip and blush.

Thick Top-Liner & Lashes: Take a cue from the originator of this look, Audrey Hepbun. Use eye liner on top lid, making a thick line along the lashes. Next curl lashes, then apply a generous amount of mascara to top lashes and a little on the bottom. For added effect, use navy shadow on top of liner.

Look for Less: Nicky's Candy Striped Dress

Get Inspired: Colored Frames

Sunglasses are everyone in Hollywood's go-to accessory, but bright colors are putting a new spin on the classic Ray-Ban wayfarers. Whether dressed down in a risky studded Givenchy coat or a classic Burberry trench these put a great new spin on any outfit.

The Cast of Gossip Girl Fashionably Heads West

This past weekend at the West Coast based PaleyFest; the one-and-only greatest TV Festival, the entire cast was looking as chic as ever in their own duds. From Taylor's flapper-inspired frock, to Blake's schoolboy blazer, to Leighton's sunny dress, it all left me envious.
