Rihanna "Man Down" Video

While this is definitely not the most fashion forward video, I think Rihanna looks stunning. People are really having issues with the violent nature of this video, but from a purely aesthetic viewpoint, it's flattering for Rihanna and the colors are great. Click below for stills from the video.

More proof that Emma Watson is a budding fashionista...

Emma Watson can do no wrong, the girl is so stylish, and I will be sad when the Harry Potter press tour ends and I can't see her rocking awesome looks like the studded Burberry coat.

Sex and the City 2: Heavy on the Halston Heritage

*Warning Spoilers*

So, I went to the midnight showing of Sex and the City 2 last night. I am going to admit upfront that I was extremely tired, and upon waking up this morning, I don't remember much of the movie. However, I do remember lots and lots of Halston Heritage.

Let it be said that I am one of those girls who adores chick flicks, and that for the most part men think my taste in movies is atrocious, but last night SATC2 seemed heavy on the glamor and pretty light on plot. All the men were pretty much absent, and Carrie wore a whole lot of Halston Heritage. Now, we all know that Sarah Jessica Parker designs for them, but I felt like it robbed the movie of so many other outfits Carrie could have been wearing besides the very simple (but pretty) dresses.

Charlotte's personality was clearly absent, Miranda's was pretty shallow as well, and if weren't for Samantha, I think this movie would have been pretty dull. I gasped louder over the broken Birkin bag than I did over Carrie's short kiss with Aiden. However, it was Samantha's scene when she screamed to a whole bunch of Arab men that "Yes! She has sex!" (cue thrusting motions) that won the performance for me.

Otherwise, it was pretty lackluster in substance, I don't think this could have been shot in New York. It needed the glitz and glam of Abu Dhabi to put the "sparkle" back in the movie.

Here's a look at some of the Halston outfits I remember.

And I threw this one in because I happen to own that apron, so I was mildly excited when I saw it on the screen.

Coachella Fashion

So, my favorite music festival, Coachella, took place April 15 through 17, and once again, I was not able to attend.

I've wanted to go to this concert since I was 15, and every year it seems like more and more celebrities attend. Well, this year I decided to compile a few looks I liked/seemed most common.

Here's a few inexpensive and expensive ways to make Coachella fashion part of your summer wardrobe.
