The Celeb Life - Your guide to the rich and glamorous

It starts with attitude - you have to believe that you deserve it. We are all every bit as worthy to have the style, the privileges and the luxuries granted upon celebrities.

As everyone knows, the little black dress has been a favourite of celebirities since the days of Audrey Hepburn. There has been some modern changes in these dresses over the years but you would still look fabulous in one from the 50's (or 60's,70's, 80's and 90's). Buy yourself a little black dress and you will always have something to wear for any occasion.
With the adorable style below, Reese Witherspoon wears a trendy little black dress (it's brocade too). The dress has a beautiful, unique cut that really flatters. The 
Zac Posen Mini Marie Dress has a similar design (below, right).
This dress has the unique neckline of Reese's and won't go out of style any time soon. A bonus: its designed by Zac Posen, a top celeb designer.
Another huge trend for the season is a figure-hugging gown, as seen on Angelina Jolie, Keira Knightley and Gwyneth Paltrow. You can mimic this sexy style easily with the
Narcisco Rodriguez Silk Cummberbund Dress (below), which is a shorter version of Keira's gown.

A hot look for Fall 2005, in case you haven't noticed yet, is ladylike dresses and skirts that look similar to what was worn in the 30's and 40's. Below is a picture of Rachel Weisz wearing one of the hottest designers of this look, Roland Mouret. Also, Angelina Jolie looks beautiful in a hot color for this look, grey, as designed by Roland Mouret.
This look is figure-hugging and very sexy on all body-types (especially those with an hourglass figure).
Can't wait to get your own Roland Mouret frock?
Net a Porter sells a wide range of the designer's looks. I especially like this
Acacia Wool and Cashmere Blend Dress, which will give you a look like Angelina Jolie's:
Christine Taylor, above, looks great in this dress.
Or the
Hawaiite Jersey Dress (below, right), which is similar to the one worn by Sienna Miller (Nicole Kidman has been spotted in the same dress), you can find it for sale at Net a Porter as well.

A great style (that is really being continued from last year) is tucking your jeans or pants into your boots. The only differences are Uggs are out (the look is less bulky) and the heel is low.
But these are just generalizations- still love your uggs? gotta have high heels? I say go for it! Just be comfortable, that is what this look is all about. The only problem is you have to have pants with a skinny leg - get around this by rolling your jeans up just above your boots, still cute!
Here are some looks that are perfect for the season's casual look, the 
Miu Miu Wool Embellished Boots(below,left) and the 
Jimmy Choo Wish Drawstring Boots(below,right), both of which you can find for sale on Net a Porter
Jessica Alba, below, relaxes on the beach of Brooklyn, N.Y. in her boots. You can get
Steve Madden Logan Boots
, which are exact replicas of this style.
These
Frye Katie Boots
are a great look for this season with their silver gromet detailing at the top, and they look very similar to Eva Longoria's.
Another pair I adore is the
Frye Dorado Slouch Boots
($449.95), below.

White dresses have an elegance and purity to them that I have always loved. I guess that's why celebs that want to look more lady-like have been sporting them lately (eg. Eve and J.Lo).

You can get the
Luisa Beccaria Ruffled Babydoll Dress just like Eve's (above,left) at Net a Porter(above,right).
You can get a beautiful
Narcisco Rodriguez Metallic Silk Dress(above), that looks wonderfully similar to the one worn by J.Lo.

Celebs are wearing tons of brocade for Fall 2005. Everyone from Catherine Zeta-Jones (featured below) to Anne Hathway have been spotted in this hot look. It gives you a very regal apperance. So, get yourself something elegant and don't hesitate to have everyone refer to you as "Your Majesty"!
You can get a
David Meister plum gold brocade strapless dress (shown above) for only $210 (that's 40% off!) through Amazon. It is similar to the one worn by Catherine Zeta-Jones at the L.A. premiere of
The Mask of Zorro, above.
I love this
Tibi cocktail dress from edressme.com (above), it is so unique and beautiful- which is exactly how you will look in it. Bonus- it is on sale for only $239.40, reg. $342.
Want a great brocade jacket? This one from
Tracey Reese (below, $422) was featured in the January 2006 In Style Magazine, pg. 56.

Okay, I admit it, I watch Joey. It isn't the best TV show out there but I really loved Friends and I think nostalgia drives me to turn on the TV every Thursday. One thing I do like about the show is the fashions seen on Andrea Anders (although I must say her character, Alex, is extremely annoying).
Below I've chose some of her looks from the season that I particularly like and shown you how to copy it.
This isn't the typical look for "Alex" but I really like the change (minus the big chunky necklace). I would pair it with something a bit smaller. This
Catherine Malandrino Madeleine Blouse from Net a Porter is perfect, pair it with your favourite pair of jeans.
I love this classic look on Andrea's character. The
Roland Mouret Hennicker Skirt will give you the same look. Pair it with a deep v-neck black tee, like this one by
Park Vogel and a cute black satchel like this one from
Michael Kors Handbags
.
I really like wrap blouses, they are so sexy and so easy to get a good fit! If you want a satin wrap shirt, this one from
Esprit is a perfect choice. Just pair it with some black pants for a great "Alex" look.
This black blazer looks great with the touch of red in her necklace. You can get a similar
blazer and
red-heart choker at Amazon.
I really like this belted cardigan that Alex wears. You can get the same style
Cardigan at Amazon - plus the bonus of being able to get it in black, copper or gold. Any color would look great with a white camisole. Pair it with some black crop pants and black heels for Alex's look.

A hot look for this searson is wearing all black. Whether that be to the office or to a beautiful evening out. And, of course, it has the bonus effect of being very slimming. Cameron Diaz does a wonderful job of wearing this trend. She adds a colorful bag to give her whole outfit just the right touch of color. Not that she really needs it. The blouse she wears is sexy and interesting, just like this lovely Antik Batik Emilie Ruffle Top available at Net a Porter, it has just the right amount of added color and sparkle.
Match the top with Chloe Signature Flat Fronted Pants and a bright bag, like the Emilio Pucci one, and you've got Cameron's look down.
