Joanie, Jade and Danielle work it tonight for the final prize.

So this show has been on for a million seasons and I just never paid any attention to it because, well, I hate reality T.V. However, my best friend came over and forced me to watch it and now I’m hooked! Tonight is the last episode and my money is on Joanie. She really worked it on that elephant photo shoot.

The drama! Those impossibly high shoes! The gossiping! Catch the season finale tonight on UPN at 8:00 to see who wins $100,000 and the chance at a modeling career.

The question is…will any of them have a career in modeling after this show? Most probably won’t. Like American Idol, they all get their flash in the pan moments, and a very few go on to become something bigger.

So…any other addicts out there? Who are you rooting for? Or is this just another stupid reality show that I somehow got sucked into? Let us know!

So you know that something is good, wait, let me cross that out, “AMAZING” when a perfect stranger grabs your hand out of the sink as you are washing your hands in the powder room at a restaurant and gasps, “Oh My God, where did you get that!?”

Need I type more? You don’t have to twist my Mini Crystal Wreath Bracelet adorned arm!

When I think “beaded bracelet,” I usually envision a bunch of beads thrown together on cheap fishing string with a craft store clasp…I was simply floored and literally speechless when I opened the cute little box I received from le-fashionista.com’s Rochelle Semper filled with three of her breathtaking bobbles.

Semper’s attention to detail is spectacular and she certainly doesn’t skip on the quality. Mini Crystal Wreath Bracelets are made out of the finest Austrian Crystal strung on sterling silver wire with an elegant sterling silver clasp. Photographs do no justice whatsoever to the presentation, beauty and quality of Semper’s fine crafted pieces.

The bracelets can be worn with a cute skirt or pair of jeans during the day and a haute dress at night. These bracelets sparkle and shine and were definitely the thing I needed to complete my evening ensemble. I felt sophisticated and beautiful wearing the bracelets at dinner and can’t wait to go out again to show off the goods.

I recommend Semper’s pieces to any and every woman.

P.S. Rochelle Semper’s Mini Crystal Wreath Bracelets make fabulous wedding and bridesmaid gifts!

Jake with Atticus

Whatever they are wearing, the accessory of the choice for the rich and famous in the last few years has undoubtedly been of the furry persuasion.

Sure, celebrity’s are just like you and me, and of course they have pets. For example, did you know that Jim Carey had a Great Dane named George? Yeah, me neither. Some celebs, like Jake Gyllenhaal, just happen to get pictured with their pets because they really love and take care of them, and others remain an unseen mystery.

Sadly, it seems as though the “accessory pet” trend is still going strong. Stars like Mischa Barton and Ashlee Simpson get a ton of undue press just by carrying their newest pet around everywhere they go. I would say this was great, if Mischa and Ash didn’t already have dogs at home that they used to lovingly tote everywhere.

What do you think? Are these stars just making like the Europeans and bringing their pets everywhere because they love them…or because they just needed something new and cute to satisfy them for a while?

For those of you who want to pack up your pooch like the stars, may we suggest:

Viktor and Rolf bring sleepwear
to a new level

Viktor and Rolf…so sassy

When I went to New York last December, the first store my friend and I hit was H&M. How I wish they had an H&M where I live…and you can’t even buy anything online! Ugh!

Now, in the grand tradition of Stella McCartney and Karl Lagerfield, this Swedish-based store is bringing in avante-garde designers Viktor and Rolf. Known for their daring styles and runway collections (the latest collection featured mesh face masks…oohhh), I can’t wait to see what they come up with for H&M. If they do half as well as the Stella McCartney line (which sold out in a matter of hours) they will be doing okay!

For those of you lucky enough to have an H&M nearby, look for the Viktor and Rolf line coming this fall. If you get something, drop us a line and let us know what you think! For that matter, let us know your favorite H&M purchase….I got a great bag there for like, $15 and it’s fab!

Carlos Falchi Large Doctor Bag, $665.00

DKNY East/West Satchel $265.00

Carlos Falchi Small Studded Doctors Bag, $525.00

Carlos Falchi may be on to something here…my fashion forecast says that doctor bags are going to be very hot for this fall. Stethescope and thermometer slots included (just kidding).

In our endless quest for fashionable big bags, designers are now looking to form and function, plus style. Since last fall, the popularity of doctor bags has been on the rise, but now they are looking better than ever.

Who knows? If this thing really takes off, then briefcases, laundry bags and mail bags may be next!

I’m particularly fond of the small white studded bag from Carlos Falchi, but you penny-wise and leather conscious girls don’t have to go without! Check out this bag from Target…almost as cute, but way more affordable!

Abaete Label from Payless

Payless Shoe Source is now on it’s way to riding the designer bandwagon with their new line of Abaete shoes from Laura Poretzky. (source) Poretzky, a relatively new designer, started out creating swimwear, and her footwear will be available in Payless stores this September.

This high-end label will range from $25 to $45 and include ballet flats, pumps and knee high boots. Critics have called her designs a mix between flapper-era Parisian with a Japanese influence.

Is this just the beginning of a makeover for the Payless chain? Not really…remember Airwalks? My favorite brand of alterna-grunge skateboard shoe has been available at Payless for years now. It’s only a matter of time before Candies jumps on board the mainstream ship!

Eva Langoria and Jessica Simpson

Okay, you guys have hot bodies…we get it!

Honestly, I was pretty shocked to see this recent pic of Eva and Jessica struttin’ it at the ALMA Awards yesterday. Eva’s outfit seems to be missing some fabric and Jessica looks dangerously close to a wardrobe malfunction. Not that these two are known for their modesty or anything, but I really think that Eva could give Lil’ Kim a run for her money in this getup.

All harsh comments aside…I really love the colors! Tropical colored dresses are super fun for summer…this one from Ella Moss is to die for, and is not likely to fall off and flash the paparazzi at an in-opportune moment.
