I just finished watching a video from YouTube called The Secret; it’s a 24-minute video documentary that centers on the Law of Attraction as a key to success.

Well as that video presents, in order for one to succeed, he/she should passionately think of the things he/she would want to have or happen.

I like the part there when it said that you have to start your day bright to make everything alright.

So following that advice I will be starting my day by being nice to these stars’ fashion statements. Yes, I know I am already nice but it’s just good to feel that YOU ARE nice.

Anyway niceties start with this golden sequined Jenny Packham dress that High School Musical star Vanessa Anne Hudgens sported at the taping of Christmas in Washington 2007.

Aside from Beyonce Knowles and Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan would probably be one of my favorite fashion icons in Hollywood nowadays. Well despite all the controversies and scandals that this young singer and actress is going through, LiLo, as she is also known, has this sense of fashion that still remains sassy, unconventional, and edgy.

Dear Nicole,

Well if I could write a letter for Nicole Richie, that would probably say it all. Why I so love this look. And although I’m not really in to killer Louboutin heels, I guess the future mom carried it so well you would want to have one, too. Black beret, a leather jacket, and a Chanel bag; I guess this is one fashion statement for a mom-to-be.

As celebrity fashion watch blogger, the initial comment would zero in on Reese Witherspoon’s “Did you comb your hair?� look.

Well of course we were used to seeing Reese in that stunning, chic, and trendsetter persona. And I guess it kind of surprises us (at least to a few) to see her not as a star; sans the makeup, the jewels, and the gowns but as a doting mother to 4-year old son, Deacon.

The look isn’t super, not even an eye catcher. However, what makes this photo special is a touching image of a mother and son bonding. Sigh, how kids grow up so fast. At least Reese seems to savor every moment with her little man there, huh?!

Now I guess juggling responsibilities as some big star and as a mother ain’t that hard for Mommy Reese.

Not that she’s been literally gone. But after that nude photos scandal, High School Musical star, Vanessa Anne Hudgens seem to have taken a break in the limelight.

Well, as they say, all’s well that ends well; Vanessa’s starting to become visible again. This time it’s for the 2007 Power of Youth Benefiting St. Jude in California. So, how do you find that casual ala cowgirl-Indian look?

I think it’s just so cute and fits well for her age (so unlike to Hayden Panettiere pregnant look at the Emmy). Add to that I love the punk look it gives, as if saying “Hey, look at me, I’m happy, I’ve moved on.�

Yeah, Vanessa may already have moved on from that dreary part of her career. And honestly, I still like her despite those scandals. Way to go, girl!

It was one big night for American youth as some of TV, movie, and sport celebrities gathered for the 2007 Teen Choice Awards.

And when there’s party, these stars go on parading their best frocks. However, exhibiting for teen audience is relatively different to other red carpet events. The following stars would definitely be my choice[s] for the event’s hit dressers.

Awarded as Choice Female Hottie, Jessica Alba was definitely a looker lighting up the grassy green carpet in an Azario yellow dress.

Can somebody please remind me of how old Catherine Zeta-Jones is? Okay, according to my “sources� she was born on September 25, 1969. That makes her turning 38 this September. Why I asked? Cause wow, she just looks like on her late 20s.

Well, that’s actually the wonder of fame and money. Ironically though, kids look much older and adults look much younger in Hollywood.

Anyway, back to Catherine and her eye-popping figure at The Late Show with David Letterman. Metallic is really in this season, right? This Herve Leger cocktail dress paired with a purple Louboutins just gave Cath a really divine look.

Well, I guess stars are really showing off their best lately as my previous posts were all about praises of how great and how fab celebs are in their respective get overs.

I have always been a sucker for wedges. For me it’s much sexier than stilettos. And when I saw this photo of Kate Hudson with this pair of wedge, wow, can’t help but fall in love with the shoes. I must admit my attention was more on the footwear than her dress. Although, she really graced the streets with effortless glam sporting with that yellow print dress, I still believe that it’s the wedges that stood out.

Kate was walking the streets of Los Angeles for Naomi Watts’ baby shower.

What do you get when you mix a little bit of country music together with rock and roll? – The result is 100% American Idol known to all as Kelly Clarkson.

Over the years, Kelly projected various looks that signify her soaring career. Sporting a rocker-chick style with her signature smudgy liner, Kelly is definitely one fashion icon.
Atending in Burleson High School in Texas in 1998, Kelly was an ordinary face to see. In sans makeup, innocent look, and an unsure smile, who would’ve thought that an ordinary girl from Texas will go rocking the world?

Winning the American Idol in 2002, Kelly started making it big, her fashion sense included. Donning with a flat hair and thin make-up she looks just as refreshing. In 2003, she released her debut album, Thankful and started wearing big curls.

Proving that she’s the anti-diva, Kelly shared a tour bus during her Breakaway tour in 2004 with fellow AI veteran Clay Aiken. And isn’t she just fab with this long wavy hair and a bit of smoky eyes? Anyway, in 2006, after the multi-platinum success of her albums, Kelly lightens up her look sporting with a blonde hair.

Becoming the representative of NASCAR in 2007, Kelly looks carefree with a touch of sophistication with black hair and a prettier than pink lipstick.

With the line-up of transformation, Kelly proves that Breaking Away isn’t that bad after all.

Around late 80s when a school teacher at Irvington High School made her entrance to the music industry as a beatboxer for the rap group Ladies Fresh.

Now, after several award winning hits and nominations from various movies, Dana Elaine Owens known to all as Queen Latifah is surely one big star in Hollywood. And from her debut in the entertainment industry to the present, Latifah’s transition is truly remarkable. From a rap royalty to a beloved movie star, the changeover is subtle but really impressive.

Let’s do a little look back at “The Queen’s� fashion makeover through the years…

In 1992, the rapper sports that washed look letting her hair down in cornrows. Following that look was regal attire in 1994 that set her apart from other rappers. “I didn’t want to wear gold chains and call myself MC Latifah,â€? she has said of her Afrocentric look. “I’m the queen.” Latifah often state during interviews.

Having a major role in 1996 in “Living Single,� she maintained sleek locks with her fave QP gel. Meanwhile in 2001, Queen Latifah looks glamorous with a help of lip liner blended with gloss.

As “Bringing Down the House� leading lady in 2003, she completes her chic look by donning diamonds here and there.

Finally, in 2007, hitting the big screen in “Hairspray� and “Life Support,� Queen Latifah is glowing and fabulous with her brunette hair and sun-kissed look.

And so they say that the only thing constant in this world is change… it definitely worked well with The Queen.

Who says you can never have everything in this world? – Take Soffia Coppola, at 32, she’s a successful director, actress, producer, and an award-winning screenwriter. And FYI, she holds the record as the only American and third woman in the history of Academy Awards to be nominated as Best Director. What more could you ask for?

With this much success, it sure is a big pressure to face the public. No wonder Soffia’s mastered the craft in fashion by knowing how to flatter her figure and playing well with her assets. So whether in Chanel, Marc Jacobs, or even in damp clothes, she never make some false moves. Soffia walks the red carpet walking like a queen, making a place for Memorable Oscar Dresses.

She’s definitely shown that she’s in control whether in her career, personal life, or fashion. Way to go Soffia!

I have a love-hate relationship with Sarah Jessica Parker. Well, it’s not really a relationship, she has no idea I exist, but you know what I mean. On the one hand, I love Sex & The City. LOVE. Crazy outfits and all. And I heard she got to keep all the clothes from that show, which means I would really like to be friends with her and possibly just hang out in her closet for an hour or seven. On the other hand, she kind of looks like a horse, and sometimes her real-life clothes don’t quite stack up to this fashionista reputation she has.

Right now, I guess I’m on the love side.

Because holy blue sparkles, Batman, do I ever love this damn dress. Alone, but most definitely mostly on her. The color, the color is perfection on her. The fit is lovely- kind of skimmy, just hitting the high points, and not too short but not too long. She doesn’t muck it up with tights or ankle boots or too much jewelry. It’s perfect.

And, totally aside from the point, how perfect is it that she’s wearing this dress to the launch of a clean-water charity? I mean, there’s supporting a charity and then there’s dressing to promote it, right?

I’ve never worn a lot of yellow. I feel like I have a somewhat sallow complexion anyway (although nice people call it “olive”) so I’m always worried that wearing yellow will give me that jaundiced look. Which is not something I’m really shooting for, usually.

But I might have to rethink my stance on yellow, because it looks so pretty here.

Okay, granted, I’m not a skinny gorgeous black woman. So there’s a minor difference there. But I don’t care, I’ll make it work, because this dress is so awesome. This is how you mix yellow and baby blue, girls- in a feminine yet classic shape. If I have to look like a sickly newborn, that’s fine, as long as I get to wear this pretty pretty dress.

I’ve always loved Reese Witherspoon. Her accent in Walk the Line was adorable and spot-on, Legally Blonde gets quoted daily around here, and holds the honor of being the only 2 hours I ever really wished to be a blonde, and I love how she’s pretty but sort of unconventionally so.

But her style has been sort of, you know, boring, in the past. I have no problems with her desire to marry young and have babies and just live a quiet normal life, I think that’s wonderful and I’m thankful she’s never ruined my happy little image of her by getting drunk and flashing me. But that settled-ness has often manifested itself in her wardrobe, and she’s tended to look a bit. . .matronly.

So, very happy to see her stepping out recently in some outfits that are anything but matronly. And I don’t mean slutty (that would be the opposite of matronly), I mean colorful and classic, tailored yet unexpected, and so, so, so very Reese.

This is, of course, the famous yellow Nina Ricci she wore to the Golden Globes. I love the irreverence of a short primary-hued cocktail dress at a formal event like this, and I ADORE the red shoes with it. So classy yet youthful, not an easy combination to pull off.

Again, a basic shape, a breezy easy idea, but with a bit of polish and a bit of fun. I don’t know why, exactly, but I love this look. It’s so difficult to wear something simple and comfortable without looking like you just ran out in any old thing. Reese makes the classic blue-and-white ensemble look chic, and effortless.

This is, of course, the Oscars, and love is not a strong enough word to describe how I feel about this look. The color is gorgeous alone- rich, dark, formal, yet unexpected- and even better on her. The cut is simple yet interesting, and it fits her flawlessly. So, I don’t know, adore? Worship, treasure, venerate? Something along those lines.

I am, of course, sad that she is getting divorced, but if new singledom is what has been injecting such fun and polish into Reese’s style, well then, I can’t be entirely sorry.

I have this thing I like to do, on cards and for people’s birthdays and whatnot, where I write a little description of them. Just a sentence or two, often with some very twee alliteration or rhyme or something, a little sum-up, if you will.

For my older sister, once, I wrote this; “Big boobs and bambi eyes do not a bimbo make.”

I think that same sentence could be applied to Carmen Electra, at the Diane von Furstenberg show this week.

Big boobies, check. Bambi eyes, check. Bimbo? Not so much. What a lovely and feminine way to wear all black-and-white. I love the opaque tights (very right now) with the looser-around-the-calf boots. The little sweater with its puffed sleeves adds some girlishness, the stacked silver bracelets, leather bag, and black nail polish add some edge. The hair is sleek, undistracting, the eyes are dark and again, add a little edge to a dress-and-sweater combo.

Love it!
