Go Bold In Electric Blue Like Jessica Stroup

Sabrina Newman on Sep 27, 2009 5:19 AM PDT

At the Melrose Place launch party in L.A., 90210 star Jessica Stroup was definitely one of the night's standouts. Jessica wore a gorgeous electric blue cowl-neck minidress from Jenni Kayne topped off with an embellished black belt. Given the high-octane color of the dress, Jessica refrained from adding more color to the mix, opting for a sleek black Sergio Rossi clutch and a killer pair of cutout pumps. Keeping it simple with regards to accessories, she cut it off at one gorgeous cocktail ring from Siera. A slightly slouchy minidress like this one is extremely versatile- wear it as a tunic and layer it over leggings or skinny jeans for a daytime look, or pair with opaque tights, pumps, and a sharp blazer for a sophisticated day-to-night style. You really can't go wrong with this color either and it's one of the few bright shades that flatters just about any complexion. Check out my SLIDESHOW to get this standout style!

Rock A Body-Con Herve Leger Dress Like Amanda Bynes

Sabrina Newman on Sep 1, 2009 10:25 AM PDT

At this year's Teen Choice Awards, the always adorable Amanda Bynes kept it fuss-free and fabulous. Amanda is a huge fan of Herve Leger and rocked a citrus yellow bandage dress from the label at the event. She gave the look her own unique spin by pairing it with a pair of electric purple Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps and a gold python clutch from Gerard Darel. Never one to pile on the accessories, Amanda kept it simple with two muted rings. Adding to the playful look were her Barbie pink nails (neon nail shades are all the rage right now). Whether you want to splurge on a bandage style from Herve Leger or find a more affordable substitute, this silhouette always screams sexy and grants you the freedom to accessorize in a way that suits your personal style. Check out my SLIDESHOW to get the look!

Stylehive's Stylescopes Make Sure You Have This Week In The Bag!

Alex Gambardella on Apr 13, 2009 4:26 PM PDT

Let's face it -- your week is only going to go well if you're in the right mindset. And what better way to put yourself in the best mood possible than to equip yourself with a brand new bag! Pretty much any excuse for a new purse purchase is a good one in my mind: promotion at work, nothing matches your wardrobe, some extra cash lying around, a sudden change in weather -- whatever makes you feel better and helps you justify a splurge in the name of fashion (and practicality, of course). The bottom line is that your satchel, clutch, tote, or whatever the stars have in store for you, can really make or break an ensemble... and personally I'd rather break the bank than break my outfit (just kidding... sort of)! Having a hard time choosing what carry-all will carry you throughout the week most successfully and stylishly? Let the stars be your guide (and you can add "Stylescopes" to your lists of reasons for making the big purchase)! If you're a Sagittarius, you may be best suited to keep it compact yet girlie with a ruffled Betsey Johnson clutch, and Cancer girls will get to go bright and springy with a teal basket-weave shoulder bag! Check out the slideshow to see which kind of handbag you're destined to get your hands on this week!
