    Beyonce, Keri Hilson or Alicia Keys: Which BET Beauty Stole ...

    The BET Awards were just held at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and it was a bittersweet show this year due to the sudden passing of Michael Jackson. Personally, the most poignant moment was Beyonce performing "Arms Of An Angel" in remembrance, but you also had other knock-out performers like as Jay-Z, gospel duo Mary Mary, Keri Hilson and Monica. Some favorites won: Beyonce for Best Female R&B Artist, Ne-Yo for Best Male R&B, Keri Hilson walked away with 'Best New Artist' and Lil' Wayne is still on top with a 'Best Male Hip-Hop Artist win. Great, but no real surprises there! Aside from the big celeb names, fist-pumping performances and musical memories, stars were also lighting up the red carpet and showing it off pre-show! Many of the men cleaned up nicely, but it was the women that did the real show-stopping and head-turning. Beyonce showed some leg in a marbled Balmain dress, Alicia Keys looked confident and sexy in a sari-inspired tunic, and Keri Hilson made a bold statement in a pop-art, mosaic strapless sheath dress. Which BET bombshell do you think was the most daring songstress on the red carpet?

    Stars and stripes on the mind? Both are in style and together, they're what this weekend is all about. Chances are you already have stripes in your closet, but if you need some stars you could always check out Jimmy Choo's studded leather boots-- yup, interspersed among all of those studs are stars as well. Brilliant. Then, consider the planet as a whole and take a look at the latest from Phillip Lim. He's created an eco-conscious collection called "Go, Green Go" and really, who could say no to that?

    Vintage Fashionistas Get Patriotic in Red, White and Blue

    July 4th isn't just another day off work or an excuse to take an extra-long weekend trip. It's a day to remember and commemorate the men who drafted the Declaration of Independence, the document that provides us all with the freedoms we enjoy today. And since this is a time when the United States is still engaged in battle, you may find yourself even more tempted to wear red, white and blue to show your patriotism. But I'll caution you that this look can be a bit tricky to pull off without feeling like a walking American flag. So remember that it's equally patriotic to wear red, white, or blue to that picnic or parade or fireworks celebration, or to drop just a hint of this somewhat expected color combo in your accessory choices. Just click the slideshow for some playful RW&B finds for vintage fashionistas.

    With less than a week left to shop, many are scrambling to find the perfect Fourth of July outfit. The fourth of July is almost like Halloween; you want to find a look that everyone will love (and compliment), but you don't want to spend a million bucks on something you will probably wear once. After careful researching, we may have the answer to a cheap-but-chic Independence Day outfit with Kiss the Girl. Kiss the Girl, aka KTG, has been selling vintage-style tees since 2006. The idea came after the founders noticed how many California girls live in their worn-out, well-fitted, and, most important, one-of-a-kind tees. Instantly, KTG set out on a mission to satisfy the demand. The result? Unique pieces made out of quality materials that get better and softer with every wash. All their pieces are embroidered with some sort of design ranging from big peace signs to smaller images of anchors and swallows. They are so confident in their pieces they event stated this: "Kiss the Girl's unique patchwork designs [on our tees] would make the great Betsy Ross jealous." Plus in addition to their already reasonable prices, KTG is offering 20% off of your entire order-- just enter this promo code when you make your purchase on their website - SUMMER09.

    One Man's Recyclables Are Another Man's... Furniture?

    Ida Hsiang on Jul 2, 2009 10:21 AM PDT
    How is it that a living space can get so cluttered? Some people are lucky and are born with the "organized and tidy" gene. I got the "cluttered pack-rat" gene instead. With every new beginning, I promise myself that I will only keep what is absolutely necessary and all that is not under that category will be swiftly thrown, recycled or donated. Instead, there are piles of fashion and gossip magazines dotting my floor, suitcases holding clothes because my closet and dressers are full and shelves of random knick-knacks, accessories and souvenirs that I swear are sentimental, but probably wouldn't notice if they were gone. Some fellow pack-rats have found a creative and environmental way to rid our already small living spaces of junk and clutter and produce objects that are beautiful, funky and totally useful! From trash-cans and large vases made from old magazines (i could make a patio set) to bright, extravagant chandeliers made from "stuff" and a place to rest your feet made up of shoes that used to be on them, innovative designers are helping lighten the land-fill load and make our homes more fun and functional! Because the items are made of recyclables, subtle details will be different, ensuring that you truly have a one-of-a-kind piece. Sounds like something you've been looking for to help set the theme of a new house, or to spruce up a room? Check out the slideshow to see some favorite recycled furniture ideas and find one for your space!
