I’m not the only one who would live in this rainbow mountain of Givenchy Pandora bags. Celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Kate Beckinsale and Hilary Duff are also huge fans.

We love this bag to death, but, unfortunately, won’t be buying one anytime soon. Check out page two for our “look for less” picks.

What to do when dressing as a new mom? Take notes Hilary Duff:

“Pare it back. I wear less jewelry now because it can be sharp—I take everything off before I hold my son, Skyler. But if I’m going out, I’ll wear a great oversize piece. Also, I’m mindful of the products I use. I love Zoya nail polishes: They’re nontoxic (Skyler-safe!) and come in gorgeous shades.”

Zoe’s feelings on heel height match ours, word perfect:

“I like flats and I adore a high heel, but I don’t love a kitten heel. It’s neither here nor there. And the one show I will never wear is sneakers.”

Truth-slinging Zoe reminds that skinny jeans will not make you skinny:

“Wide-leg jeans or boot-cut jeans. They really elongate the leg. People think they have to wear everything skin-tight to look smaller, but that’s just not the case. I wear my jeans with a vintage Chanel jacket and an LNA tee: It’s glamorous, but also really comfortable.”

And what do you think of her new baby-safe catchphrase? Is “Way fun” killing you, too?

Using unique vintage leathers, innovative hardware and impeccable craftsmanship, Modern Vintage has garnered a loyal celebrity following with Nicole Richie, Eva Mendes, Heidi Klum, Jessica Lowndes, Whitney Port, Hilary Duff and Michelle Trachtenberg.

“We have the clothes and shoes and the bags so we’re ready.  But it won’t just be my stuff…there’ll be things I love that I find on my travels,” she explained.  “It’s very exciting for me because I get to be a buyer now!”

Based on the widespread popularity of her bags we’d peg her for the Soho or West Village type, but like pointed out last night, she likes to do things differently.  (She used to go on the Purse Forum years ago, before blogs were a blip on anyone’s radar, and interact with her customers.)  So we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled in the East Village, or even Brooklyn.

Evidently Hilary Duff forgot to check a mirror before attending the “Lucky Shops” 10^th Anniversary VIP Night at the Metropolitan Pavilion in NYC, because her hair is a hot mess. Then again, at least it got Hilary back on our radar for a quick minute.

Duff has gorgeous wavy hair, and this dark-to-light effect gives her locks such great depth and volume. It looks good in brighter light too:

And JESUS CHRIST look at that rock on her finger! She obviously doesn’t need to give a shit about my comments on her hair. Whatever, YOU GO GIRL!

After posting photos of himself shirtless on his Twitter account, dozens of 20-year old girls who vaguely remember being in love with the non-Backstreet Carter an eternity (in pop culture) ago, emitted a faintly audible sigh.

And for the record, yes I would hit that. After double-bagging the condom. Perhaps triple…he did have a pretty decent run through all of young Hollywood cooter culture. Remember the Dynasty-esque love triangle between Lindsay‘s Alexis and Hilary Duff‘s Krystle for Aaron’s Blake.

Oh, wait, I forgot it’s 2010. Remember the Gossip-Girl-esque love triangle between Lindsay’s…eh, I already stopped caring.

I really had no idea that celebrities got paid to sit front row at Fashion Week! You’d think that it was more pleasure then business for them, but I guess I was way wrong, getting photographed at the tents IS just as publicity worthy as a club opening!

A-List:

Rihanna ($100,000 or more)
Beyonce ($80,000-$100,000)

Oh Gossip Girl, as if the entire concept of your show wasn’t corny enough you had to take it to a whole new level last night. I mean since they first announced there was going to be a threesome on the show we all knew it wasn’t going to be anyone we actually wanted to see (or imagine) in a threesome (I had money riding on Mr. Humphrey, Eric van der Woodsen, and Blair’s sketchy step father for upset of the year…I was wrong).

Moving on, as you can clearly tell from the pic above is was Vanessa, Olivia (played by Hilary Duff) and Dan who hooked up, and it was horrible to say the least. I would have rather seen Duff’s old cast from Lizzie McGuire get down. This was clearly just a charity case plot twist added to the script late after Penn Badgely realized he had the most boring storyline of the season and some how managed to go from knocking boots with smoking hot Serena, to chubby chasing on a permanently bloated Hilary Duff. Can they just get her off the show already?

Oh and who else noticed the shameless plug for Leighton Meester’s bullshit music career? Talk about desperate attempt for press! Take the episode with the (shitty) threesome and let’s put my prison baby attempt at a Lady Gaga song in it, it’ll cause my music career to really take off!

And they wonder why no one watches this show anymore.

Syracuse University Prof. Robert Thompson, a popculture expert, has decided that he is now the fortune-teller to Gossip Girl downfall.  He told the news:

“The silence is deafening, ”Gossip Girl’ was like Twitter – when people first discovered it, they couldn’t stop talking about it. But the enchantment has worn off.

The premise of the show was so interesting and exciting in the beginning, but this season’s story lines don’t seem to be clicking. It’s not like if you watch an episode this season, you can say that it’s fundamentally worse than it was last season – it just doesn’t seem to have the shelf life of other programming.”

AOL Television’s Maggie Furlong also had a bit to say regarding the fame of the characters, and her recent Gossip Girl article that only recieved one comment:

“They’re no longer that interesting, that would have never happened a year ago. Now everyone wants to argue about the Gosselins instead.”

What is the world coming to! I’m still in love with Gossip Girl, but maybe they should’ve thought a little harder about their image before they gave Hilary Duff a role, and Tyra Banks a guest spot…just sayin. Then there was of course that the ‘flashback’ episode with Brittany Snow that made everyone want to stop watching the show, and that girl from ‘Privelage’ trying to convince everyone she hadn’t already been on a CW show…

I don’t even hate that dress too much…okay I hate that dress too much…but is it just me or does Hilary Duff look really weird from the waist down in this photo? Her thighs or something look really wide and her legs look really long, and really short at the same time. What is going on!

Hilary Duff made her first appearance in yesterdays Gossip Girl episode. The result is not very unexpected, but still tragic, and wearing something that better left unmentioned.Although Gossip girl could never clam to be an Emmy material, at least until now it was maintaining a certain level of style and looks. With Hilary on board, the show just might have lost that essence.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and understandably enough, the producers are  trying to put as many celebrity guests  on the set as possible to draw attention to the show. However when you don’t have a better package, at least make sure the wrapping is good!

Access Hollywood had a chat with Hilary Duff about her role on Gossip Girl, which is apparently a movie star ‘in hiding’ named Olivia Burke, who is set to be Vanessa’s roommate. Love or hate it?

Nooooooooooo. It’s true, Hilary Duff is a part of Gossip Girl now. Why!

Not to sound like a Project Runway judge, but this collection is leaving me feeling underwhelmed. Not that I honestly expected Hilary Duff to wow me with her design skills, but creating a bottom that wasn’t leggings would have been nice (I think we can all figure out how hard it is to design a pair of leggings…) Looks like the leather jackets are your best bet here.

1.) PARIS HILTON: Even though she’s only famous for being daddy’s little future trust-fund baby, Paris has unfortunately soiled the world as an actress, reality television personality, singer, model, fashion designer, perfumer, television producer and porn star. And people wonder why foreigners laugh at Americans. 

2.) KATE MOSS: Aside from blowing coke, Kate has flirted with modeling, acting, singing, designing for TopShop and writing a cookbook! 

3.) LINDSAY LOHAN: When LiLo isn’t taking part in bulimic vomit sessions, she enjoys acting, singing (poorly), modeling, designing leggings and pretending to be a lesbian. 

4.) KANYE WEST: When the people at the Gap send Kanye home after a long day of interning, the Louis Vuitton Don loves to rap, write songs, design shoes, attending shows at fashion week and shave Amber Rose’s head.

5.) LAUREN CONRAD: Although Lauren’s clothing line failed miserably, she avoids suicide by keeping busy with being a reality television personality, appearing in Family Guy, singing, writing her autobiography and attempting to sell the remainder of her clothing line. 

6.) HILARY DUFF: She hasn’t been in the tabloids lately, but Hilary’s repertoire consists of acting, singing, modeling, designing clothes and looking like a horse with those veneers of hers. 

7.) PETE WENTZ: Being a douche bag is tough work, but Wentz still finds time to sing, act in CSI, design hideous clothes and own several bars. 

8.) HEIDI MONTAG: Wiping Spencer Pratt’s ass is awfully time consuming, so props to Heidi for making time to be a reality television personality, actress, singer and model. What an ambitious girl! 

9.) FERGIE: Aside from being the universal spelling-bee champion, Fergie prides herself on her singing, acting and designing careers. G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S. 

10.) NICOLE RICHIE: With a second baby in her belly and a reality television, singing, acting, maternity-wear designing career under her belt, Richie is the ultimate mom.

Making her move from McGuire to mature, Hilary Duff has teamed up with DKNY to launch her second self-made label “Barely Legal.” Slated to hit department stores like Lord and Taylor and Nordstrom this fall, Duff calls her line feminine and “aggressive in a good way.” I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of collaborations (especially with celebrity designers) but by the looks of the drawings, there may be some potential for a decent line!

Determined to show the world she’s come a long way since her debut as television’s Lizzie McGuire, actress Hilary Duff is posted up in a series of seductive poses for the January 2009 issue of Maxim Magazine.

The 20-year-old joins Vanessa Hudgens, Scarlett Johansson, and Rihanna on the men’s mag’s list of hottest stars of the new year.

Hilary Duff must have been paying attention to the 2008 winter collections of Balenciaga and Giles, because she definitely rocked out the futuristic layering and tailoring at the grand opening of the SLS Hotel in Los Angeles. The grey layered skirt is amazing and Duff did a a great job styling by going simple on top and bottom. I’ll do some research and see if I can find who makes this killer skirt! 

Thanks for the photo Fabulousness!
