This past weekend I had the honor of covering fashion for E! “Countdown To The Grammy’s Red Carpet” at the Staples Center. Talk about rubbing elbows with music royalty! From Rhianna to GaGa, Miley Cyrus to Taylor Swift, the stars were rocking the red carpet in bold, attention grabbing ensembles. Thus, my inspiration for this week’s article: paying homage to rockstar clothing.

Oh! and the  highlight of my night??  How about partying at Prince’s mansion with Lady GaGa to my right and Brit Spears to my left?? Now I’m not one to gloat, but that’s worth bragging about!! Enjoy

You know Rhianna would snatch these sequin hot pants up in a second!

This faux fur vest is a 70’s trend that has found its way into the life of Hollywood’s trendsetters. I love it with jeans or even over a hot little dress.

Nothin’ says rocker chic like chains and leather. These Dolce Vita chain booties are insanely fierce!!

A gutsy alternative to basic black leggings… Oh La La lace leggings are sexy and so rock and roll!

For the LOVE of Necklaces…….

Whether you are in love, out of love, or just plain OVER love, Valentine’s Day is near.

With that said, there’s no better time to drop a hint to your main squeeze …or even just gift yourself!

Who does your heart belong to???  A necklace and conversation piece in one!

Profess your love without saying anything at all!

My favorite thing about this ENVELOPE LOVE LETTER LOCKET is it’s slightly vintage, worn-in finish.

I love the idea of wearing a battered heart necklace on V-Day…even if you are in love. Rock it!!

Bring on the Glitz and Glam!!

Anne Hathaway in Mr. Larkin's Elsa Dress

This last week I was invited to a star studded Golden Globe hospitality suite, sponsored by Live Loyal PR and EMC Bowery.  I was asked to attend as a featured Style Expert and so I met with each guest and gave them one-on-one style advice on everything from A-to-Z. With so many Golden Globe parties coming up (InStyle, HBO, Fox Searchlight and NBC), I fit and styled a bunch of celebrities in gowns and cocktail dresses, chosen from designers Randi Rahm and Rose Taft.

Guests were pampered (literally) from head to toe with beauty treatments sponsored by Valerie of  Beverly Hills, OPI and Suburbia Salon and enjoyed cocktails by Ciroq Vodka and snacks from Doughboys….and did I mention the 360-degree, breathtaking views of  Los Angeles?

The event was held at a private estate in the Hollywood Hills and was attended by celebrities such as Lauren Conrad, Nicole Scherzinger, Lacey Schwimmer, Ali Landry, and other industry insiders. Good times!

What I’m noticing is that more and more designers are displaying an old Hollywood glam inspiration.  Anything to snazz or jazz up an outfit, seems in vogue and all the rage.

Lindsay’s Latest: Kate Moss

Kate Moss Rockin the Blazer and Sequin

I always turn to Miss Moss for fashion inspiration. When it comes to true style, this girl’s just got it! From the runways to the streets, she always looks effortlessly cool and put together without trying too hard.  She’s the master of pairing subtle detailed pieces with timeless basics and with her as my muse, I’m going to show you how to get this look.

Robert Rodriguez Structured Blazer

THIS ROBERT RODRIGUEZ CROSS-OVER PIECE will have conservatives and hipsters high-fiving.  It is truly a  classic black staple with the structured shoulders providing a cool 80’s vibe. Best of all, it’s a grab-and-go addition to your wardrobe because of its compatibility with all your basics. I personally love pairing embellished or striped tops underneath depending on what mood I’m in.

Vicarious vivid vibrant velvet vixen fashion celebrated the election victory at the Paper Magazine party in West Hollywood last night that would get Obama’s style stamp of approval. New trends popped up like velveteen rich flower blossom headbands mixed with hard edge belts and elongating black sleek cut tops.

Hipsters united by mixing up doll dresses with dark tights, plaids, leather jackets, boots, boots, and more statement boots to help support fall fashion. We can always count on them for vagabond victorious style.

The 70’s even showed up with cord skirts, bell bottom jeans, and dreamy lace tops that would stop a war in it’s W. tracks. Peace and love seemed to be the theme as free drinks were served and warning signs stating “dancing is encouraged” armed the party soldiers.

The fashionistas were equipped with festivity assets that let fashion prevail without mavericks killing the style fly buzz. Paper Magazine kept the movement rolling on Friday with their pop-up 24 hour shopping event co-hosted by Converse and Levi’s.

Hello all! My name is Kyla and I just turned 21 years old! I was born in Manhattan, raised in South Florida, and I currently reside in Los Angeles; all major fashion meccas. My interest in fashion started from a very young age. I can remember back to when I was in elementary/middle school I started watching fashion themed shows on the E! Channel and later came the Style Network. While the other kids in class were shooting spitballs at each other, I was sketching dress designs. While they all went to soccer practice after school, I went straight home, turned on the TV, and watched runway shows from New York, Paris and Milan. My interest in fashion has carried with me to the present. I’m currently interning at a fashion-based website called Shopflick.com, while attending Cal State Long Beach. My forte’ is finding great bargains! I can put together an outfit, including shoes!, for under $100, even under $50! Being a very observant person, I love to people watch and see what people are wearing and how creative they can be. Thus, I’m going to take you on trip through the streets! I will be covering “Street Style”: what people are wearing, who’s doing something unique, who’s following the “trends,” and who’s violating the word “style” all together! So, sit back, relax and enjoy my off-beat sense of humor as I call people out on their horrid fashion sense… I kid, I kid, I’ll be nice…well, I’ll try to. : )

Some of my fave Shopflick items:

Raquel Allegra’s Asymmetrical Shirt. So one-of-a-kind, I haven’t seen anything like this anywhere!

Ric Rac Clothing’s Fluxe Jumper. This is adorable and looks really fun to wear during Summer!

Verameat’s Dino Eating Fried Chicken Ring. I just think the concept for this ring is so clever and hilarious!

Desideri Design’s Swarovski Crystal Necklace. Gorgeous in every way, I love all of her pieces.

Frozen Peas’ Sleep Little Fox Necklace. I can’t help but love this, after all my nickname is Fox.
