Fashion Favorite: Celebs Love Denimocracy 'Jeggings!'

I am a big fan of skinny bottoms and have countless pairs of skinny jeans and leggings. However, jeans can sometimes feel too restrictive (especially if you've put on a few pounds of winter weight), and let's be honest, leggings can't be worn with tops that hit above your hips unless you're pencil thin. Enter Denimocracy and their fantastic line of "jeggings," which are made to look like denim and feel like leggings. Their incredibly cool and flattering styles are perfect for days when you want the comfort of leggings but the look of denim, which is me every day since I got a pair! They come in a variety of awesome washes that pay homage to the likes of "Benatar" and "Bowie" (I especially love the acid wash styles), and are perfect for adding a bit of rock 'n' roll to your look. It's no wonder celebrities such as Katherine Heigl, Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, Katie Holmes and Lauren Conrad are all big fans. The best part? All the styles retail for under $80! Check out my slideshow to see my 5 favorites!

Stand Out In Powerhouse Pink Like Kristin Cavallari

Always one to command attention, Hills vixen Kristin Cavallari made a show-stopping splash at the L.A. premiere of When in Rome thanks to her powerhouse pink Naven frock. This color is definitely one of my favorites for obvious reasons- it is stunning and so flattering against all skin tones. Powerhouse pink can make even the greatest of wallflowers come out of their shells and is the kind of color that delivers instant confidence. There really is no wrong way to wear it! Team it with neutrals for a subdued effect or with black for a more edgy vibe. Either way, this dress was made to do all the talking, so take a cue from Kristin and keep the accessories to a minimum. Check out my slideshow to get the exact dress seen on Kristin and for similar options!

Get Marisa Miller's White Hot Look

At this year's Grammy awards, smoking hot supermodel Marisa Miller demonstrated how sexy a little white dress can be. Marisa was a true vision in vintage Gucci. She upped the glam factor with gorgeous Neil Lane jewelry including a standout statement necklace and two cocktail rings. She added a pop of color to the look with red Yves Saint Laurent platform pumps and sported beautifully tousled waves, staying true to her signature California-chic aesthetic. White is no longer a spring and summer specific shade and can serve as a fresh alternative to basic black all year round. Check out my slideshow to get the look!

Rock A Sexy Sequined Minidress Like Nicole Richie!

From day to night, from one season to the next, sequins are the new fool-proof go-to look. I am so fond of a gold sequined mini dress- it's such a versatile option that always looks amazing and can be teamed with any color under the sun. Gold is totally the new black! Fashion trendsetter Nicole Richie demonstrated the fabulousness of the sequined mini to ring in the New Year at Tao and Lavo in Las Vegas. Nicole is always one to pile on the accessories but given the standout nature of this style, she left the glitzy pieces at home, finishing off her look with black tights and black Yves Saint Laurent pumps. A relaxed, slouchy style like Nicole's is highly wearable and can be toned down with a sharp blazer, vest, or cozy knit and vamped up with killer heels or sexy booties. Either way, this style is a winner! Check out my slideshow for 5 sequined frocks similar to Nicole's!

Go Berry Beautiful Like Molly Sims

At "An Unforgettable Evening" benefit for EIF's Women's Cancer Research Fund, Molly Sims looked simply stunning sporting her signature fuss-free glam style. Molly rocked a relaxed berry-hued Gucci dress which she teamed with grey suede peep-toe pumps. She accessorized with stunning pieces from her jewelry line, Grace by Molly Sims and a chic box clutch. This look can definitely make the day-to-night transition and could work just as well for a day at the office as it could for a cocktail party. For a more winter-friendly style, wear it with black tights and a fitted blazer. Check out my slideshow to get the look!

Get Taylor Momsen's Rocker-Chic Look!

For the launch of the Victoria's Secret Beauty Love Rocks fragrance collection, Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen was her usual rocker-chic self. While Taylor usually wears teeny dresses that come up to there, at this event she went in the opposite direction, sporting a long, slip-like ivory dress. Never one to go the ethereal route, Taylor toughened up the look with a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti motorcycle boots, a black cuff reminiscent of Madonna circa 1980, her signature rosary beaded necklace, the Victoria's Secret Love Rocks lip gloss ring, and of course, tons and tons of black eye liner. I was drawn to this look because it's a lot more accessible and wearable than some of her other ensembles. Edgy extras, like the boots and jewelry pieces she chose are definite must-haves and I am really feeling that long, gauzy dress. Check out my slideshow to snag this rockin' look!

Get Taylor Swift's Red-Hot Look

At "An Unforgettable Evening" to benefit EIF's Women's Cancer Research Fund in Beverly Hills country music superstar Taylor Swift absolutely sizzled. Taylor opted to get in touch with her sexier side with a radiant red one shoulder Valentino dress complemented by a matching red pout. She added some more glam to the look with glitzy accessories including sparkling peep-toe pumps, the gold crystal Beverly Hills clutch by Swarovski clutch, and beautiful Neil Lane jewelry pieces. This look is a can't-miss for your next cocktail party or to celebrate Valentine's Day with your sweetheart. As Bill Blass once famously said, "When in doubt, wear red." Check out my slideshow to get this red-hot look!

Rock Vibrant Shades Like Joy Bryant!

At the NBC Universal Press Tour cocktail party, Joy Bryant was her usual perfectly pulled-together self, rocking a fun, boho-glam daytime style. Abandoning typical winter shade sof black and grey, Joy went color-wild with a vibrant floral printed Tucker Tunic dress topped off with an oversized raspberry cardigan. She accessorized with slouchy Bally boots and a matching clutch from Botkier which had the same worn-in, rustic feel, adding even more of a bohemian spirit to the look. She finished the look with some playful jewelry pieces, including a cut-out gold cuff. Overall, this look was fun, and totally fuss-free, not to mention extremely wearable.

Jessica Szohr Sizzles In Stripes and Sequins

At the NYC premiere of Sherlock Homes, Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr was her usual funky and fashionable self. Jessica's look was equal parts sophisticated and sexy and as always, she put her own spin on some closet staples. Jessica teamed a a pair of on-trend sequined shorts by Silence & Noise with a striped Diesel tank topped off with a classic Alice + Olivia boyfriend blazer. To keep the look more winter-appropriate, Jess added a pair of black tights. Christian Louboutin pumps and a black cocktail ring rounded out the mix of this truly rockin' ensemble.
