Landing in Sears: The Kardashian Kollection!

Back in January of this year, news broke that those krazy Kardashians were planning to launch a mass market line of their own designs through affordable retailer Sears, and it looks like The Kardashian Kollection is finally ready to hit stores! We don’t care how over exposed Kim, Khloe and Kourtney might be – we still can’t get enough of those gorgeous, raven-haired siblings, so we can’t wait to get our hands on some of their latest, budget-friendly pieces! We finally have more details about this top secret Kardashian-Sears collaboration, so keep reading for a preview of the line, which is slated to officially hit stores on Thursday, August 25th.

Fans of the sisters K have been anticipating The Kardashian Kollection for months, and now that the countdown has dwindled to mere days, the suspense is nearly killing every budget savvy fashionista within driving distance of a Sears department store! Although no official promotional photos have been released, we imagine that the line will feature plenty of Kardashian-infused sexy style. We’re picturing lots of black leggings, bedazzled tunics, bandage dresses in rich jewel tones and of course, sky-high platform stilettos. If The Kardashian Kollection delivers on its glittering promises, opulent style will soon be at the fingertips of every gal looking for mega style on a budget!

Nailing Stick Straight Locks like Olivia Wilde

Olivia Wilde at the premiere of The Change Up

Olivia Wilde is so drop-dead gorgeous, she’d look amazing even if she shaved her head. But recently she’s been rocking stick-straight strands and thick bangs, and we’re completely in love with her lock look. In fact, we think she may be starting a major Fall 2011 hair trend, and luckily, it’s easy to recreate a similar style at home. When we spotted the beautiful starlet at the red carpet premiere of her latest flick, The Change Up, held at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday August 1st, we stopped dead in our fashionable tracks to drool over her gorgeous dress and hair. Keep reading for more details about her amazing red carpet look – and learn how to achieve a similarly straight mane, once the weather cools.

Before we can dish our best stay-straight hair secrets, we need to take a moment to drool over Olivia’s drool-worthy dress and heels. She opted for a red-hot, structured Antonio Berardi frock, straight from his Pre-Fall 2011 runway show. The dress featured flattering strong shoulders and adorable pockets, and we think a similar shift style would be equally flattering on a wide range of shapes and sizes. This fall, look for crimson and scarlet colored dresses with unique details like ruffles or pockets, and make it your new statement dress. You’ll reach for your new red frock all year long, so treat it like the little black dress of 2011! Olivia also complimented her Antonio Berardi creation with a pair of amazing Brian Atwood satin platforms in a matching red hue for a major punch of bright color.

Olivia’s hair might look like a simple blow out, but achieving locks that sleek requires more than just your average hair dryer. To recreate a similar style this fall, start in the shower with specially formulated smoothing shampoo and conditioner to smooth each strand. After completely dry, flatten each section with a ceramic straightening iron to prevent heat damage. Finish with a few spritzes of shine-enhancing spray to make hair look glossy without weighting it down for star-approved locks all fall!

Katie Holmes promotes her Don't Be Afraid of the Dark film and reveals she is afraid of spiders on Jay Leno

It looks like we’re not the only ones ready or the fall fashion season! It may still be August, but most of our favorite stylish celebrities have already debuted some of their best Fall 2011 outfits, and Katie Holmes is no exception. In fact, we caught her interview with Jay Leno on Tuesday, August 2nd – and are utterly smitten with her fall color palate. We commend her for braving the Burbank heat in leather pants and a sweater, but we’re sure the studio was cool enough for her autumn ensemble. Read below for more details about Katie’s camel-and-crimson color palate, and learn how to achieve a similar silhouette on a budget!

Katie was on set to promote her latest horror flick, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, but she looked anything but frightening for her appearance. She was positively glowing in a fall-ready perforated camel colored “Saltspring” sweater by Madewell and a seriously fierce pair of red leather cropped skinny pants by Isabel Marant. She tied both warm hues together with her amazing two-toned patent leather Prada loafers, which gave us a major case of fall shoe envy. If you’re as smitten with this look as we are, you’ll be happy to know that you don’t need to bust your autumn shopping budget to recreate it!

Even if leather pants aren’t your style, it’s easy to mimic this silhouette with a pair of trendy red denim this fall! Colored denim is everywhere now, from Barney’s to Target, so find your perfect fit and wear them to death all year long. Pair your new red pieces with warm shades of camel, coffee and cappuccino for a modern twist on neutrals.

Katie kept her fall pieces summer appropriate on set by complimenting her outfit with a flirty and fun voluminous ponytail. This look couldn’t be easier to DIY – and all you’ll need is a simple teasing comb! Pull all your locks into a mid-height pony, and use the pointy end of your comb to create volume at the crown of your head. Mist with hairspray for a Katie-approved look that lasts all day!

Anne Hathaway Covers Marie Claire UK September 2011

Now that August has finally arrived, the fall fashion fun can officially start! That’s right – the September issues of all our favorite glossies are hitting newsstands across the globe, and we’re already drooling over the fabulous covers! Most recently, we spotted Miss Anne Hathaway covering Marie Claire UK – and so far, it’s one of our September favorites. Annie can do no wrong in our eyes, so we were thrilled to see her take a risk in a Dolce & Gabbana star print dress for her cover shoot. Keep reading for more details about her amazing photo spread – and learn how to copy her beauty routine, even if you aren’t gracing the cover of any major fashion magazines anytime soon!

We’ve seen Dolce & Gabbana star print before, but never quite like this. Anne’s long-sleeved, slim-cut version is our favorite so far, and we think it was the perfect pick for a fall cover. Throughout her pictorial, she also wears an amazing navy blue ball gown with sheer panels and a cleavage-bearing deep v-neckline, but her D&G star print look is our favorite from the feature.

As amazing as the clothes are, we’re totally drooling over Anne’s beauty looks in her Marie Claire photos. We love that she opted for warm, bronze-laced mauve hues rather than the tired pink cheeks/red lips combination that’s always popular come fall. To recreate a similar look, shop for earthy browns and mauves this fall with hints of gold or bronze to add a little sultry sparkle to your look. Keep your hair natural and healthy, and fight frizz with a shine-enhancing serum for a similar look to Anne’s glossy brunette locks.

c4ca4238a0b923821 Anne Hathaway Covers Marie Claire UK September 2011To complete your fall-worthy beauty routine, polish things off with a deep plum or burgundy manicure. We love the way Anne’s dark tips contrast her gorgeous porcelain skin – and a dark, moody manicure always looks fresh once the mercury drops. Don’t forget to add a protective topcoat to fend off chips for up to a week – and you’ll be star beautiful all year long.

It feels like forever since we’ve seen Sarah Michelle Gellar on the red carpet – but who could forget about her glory days as Buffy The Vampire Slayer? We admit the teen drama was one of our major guilty pleasures when it was on the air – and we’re just as smitten with the adorable SMG today! Now that she’s finally back to making the red carpet publicity rounds for her new fall show, The Ringer, which is coming to The CW in September, we’re thrilled to see more great looks from this comeback star. Most recently, we spotted her at The CW and Showtime TCA Party, held at The Pagoda in Beverly Hills, CA on Wednesday, August 3rd, looking better than we’ve seen her look in years. We adored her perfectly appropriate little black dress, and we’re especially smitten with her romantic, braided updo.

Updating your LBD with a modern hairstyle is one of the quickest and easiest fixes when you’re bored with your tired black pieces. Braids have been a huge summer trend, and it looks like pretty plaits will continue to dominate starlet’s locks well into the fall and winter months! But even though they look complicated, a similar style is surprisingly simple to DIY in your own bathroom mirror! Read on for more details about Sarah Michelle’s amazing LBD, and learn how to copy her star style at home.

For the event, Sarah Michelle opted for a no-fail little black dress by Givenchy, and paired it with an amazing pair of bronze metallic platform stilettos by Yves Saint Laurent. She completed her star ensemble with an amazing sparkly black clutch courtesy of Jimmy Choo, which added the perfect element of shine to her dress.

c81e728d9d4c2f633 e1312909180776 Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Romantic UpdoHer adorable, double-braided do is best achieved on second-day hair, when your locks most likely hold a style better. Create a dead-center part with a rattail comb, and craft two French braids down each side. Don’t worry about fly-aways, since this style looks best when it’s slightly messy! Finish off your Hollywood-worthy look with plenty of plum eyeliner and lots of black mascara for an easy, SMG-approved look!
