A Girl's Vest

A couple of days ago, Paris Hilton was seen wearing a brown vest with jeans and white boots. I did a little research, and it turned out that Paris wasn't the first celeb spotted wearing vests for this season.





You know, no matter how slouchy your top is, a vest can cover its droopiness. Like what this vest did to Ashey Olsen's top.



And even if you don't have a droopy or undroopy top (of course, UNDROOPY is still BEST), you may wear the vest all by itself.



You may wear vests with a short sleeved, collared top like Jennifer Love Hewitt's below. You may even use a tie to to with your vest. Just be sure you pair it with jeans, and not with matching slacks, or you might want to start taking orders ;)



If you chose to wear a bottom that matches your vest, make sure that you DIDN'T include a tie in the ensemble.



Vests also go with striped tops. Vests are best used when the inner top is longer than the vest. But of course, there will always be exceptions. Just carry it with pizzazz.

The Double-Edged Yuppie Jackets

If you are a yuppie, you would know that office coats or jackets are double-edged. Why? Because after work hours, they can still be a part of your regular, casual get-ups. You may wear it for a dinner date, or for any semi-formal event.

Here are some celebs who paired office jackets with jeans.

Scarlett Johansson pairs it with torn jeans.



Jessica Simpson maintains her black and grey hue.



Notice on Jessica Alba that wearing an office jacket with a few accessories makes it legal for jeans to be worn on a semi-formal event.





Nicky Hilton does it her style.



Good news, you may also wear it with shorts. Only, this would only give you a casual look.

Jessica pairs her green velvet jacket with an orange top.



And even if you're not of working age yet, you may still use an office jacket and look as cute as Hilary Duff is on this pic. Just copy the way she wore this style. This pic was from a Seventeen magazine photoshoot.



That's it for tonight. You may drop me emails about your celebrity fashion questions. I sure do love getting emails from other fashion lovers around the world. Don't be shy ;)

The Loooong Way Is In

Long and slim are two words to describe the present celebrity fashion trends. But of course that excludes skirts (including dresses) and shorts, which as we have noticed, have gone shorter and shorter. Pieces that have gone long are scarves, necklaces, and the long coats for the season.

The long scarves have been recently spotted being worn by cool celebs like Eva Longoria, Anne Hathaway, Nicole Richie, and Ashlee Simpson.

Eva looking very chic with a long scarf.



Notice that Eva's long scarf and long chain necklace compliment her top very well.



Anne made the right decision in using this long scarf which is a lighter shade of her top because it made her look so classy.



Nicole tied her scarf in front, and made a sailor-like effect.



Ashlee used a scarf for a less ordinary shirt-jeans-and-sneakers look.



Long necklaces, as seen on Eva's pic above are also trendy.

Nicole accessorizes her plain white top with a long chain necklace.



Paris Hilton uses her long black necklace. I just don't know if this necklace is plastic or not.



Also, with the season comes the long coats.

Britney Spears wearing a long coat with her short, short skirt.



Nicole wears this cute coat over an all-black casual ensemble. This coat looks very elegant.



And lastly, here is the classiest of all. As always, Jennifer Aniston manages to wear trendy clothes that you think will still look trendy if she wore it a number of years from now. Or even if she has already worn it last year. It's just in the way that she carries it.



Have a wonderful Sunday to y'all. Gotta sleep early or it will be another manic Monday tomorrow. Talk to you soon!

Ways Of Wearing Flats

Flats are probably the most comfortable footwear; the same with running shoes, sneakers, and flip flops. Or with anything that does not have heels. Among those, it is the most versatile, considering that it is the most multipurpose when it comes to matching it with clothes. Flats are footwears that you can use whatever the occasion is.

You can wear flats with skinny jeans or pants.

Mischa Barton on a casual day with her dog.



Hilary Duff.



You may also pair your flats with shorts.

Scarlett Johansson posing for photographers in an event.



Flats and skirts also go well together.

Kirsten Dunst. White skirt and black flats.



Mischa Barton combines blue skirt and red flats.



Flats are of different styles, too. Like Mischa's red on top, and Nicky Hilton's pointed flats below.



Sienna Miller's flats have ankle straps.



These are also flats that she also wore with a short dress, as seen below.



Lindsay Lohan and Mischa wore theirs with short dresses, too.





While Jessica Alba wore her flats and dress with short black leggings.



That is it for today. I give flats a perfect 10. Talk to you soon!

The Hat Attack

You want to look edgy, but you're not in the mood to accessorize or to put up a perfectly matched outfit. How do you survive? Think head pieces. Wear caps, bonnets and hats.

You can use it when there's sun:

Hilary Duff shopping.





Paris Hilton shopping.



Keira Knightley



Or when you just want to look simply fabulous and unique on the streets, like Lindsay Lohan:






It can be a night-out companion, too:



Ashlee Simpson



Or on events when you're just feeling nice, simple and cute. Like Rachel Bilson:




All in all, head pieces are worth a place on your wardrobe. Mostly, they are inexpensive and very useful!

Zesting Your Top

After I wrote about how we can spice up our plain white shirts, I also wrote about how we can spice up our tank tops. To achieve a glamourous look, it is important that our upper pieces look good. When people look at our faces, what else do they see it with? Our feet? Nah.

I've scoured the web for pictures, and I found out that there are more ways on how we can add zest to our upper clothings:

Like Hilary Duff, you may use a belt over you shirt. This belt needs not be different from the regular belts that we use in our pant loops. Place it below your waistline, or on your hips if you are atempting on a more casual look.

But if you are projecting a more serious look, place the belt on your waistline:

Remember, this will only work if your top is a waist hugger, say a tight tank or a medium-fit shirt that hugs your waist such as Keira Knightley's. Otherwise, place the belt on your hips. On this pic, Keira not only used a belt but added layers as well.

Layers always work, because they add a sense of depth to your otherwise plain-looking tops.

Jessica Alba knew of this. She used two tank tops that have different lengths and necklines. This would be a very easy style for you to copy, just make sure your outer tank has a lower neckline than the inner one. Better if the outer one has a different fabric than the inner one. But best if the outer one has thin fabric. Then use a chunky necklace.

Or you may wear a sexy, knitted or see-through outer garment like Nicole Richie's:


This style is best when worn at night. Remember, when wearing plain tops, always accessorize! Bracelets, necklaces and all.

You might also use a belt and scarf both at the same time:

Hilary paired her plain white tank with shorts, belt and scarf. She also added three different necklaces. This is a very classy look, and I bet that if you wear this style, you will look good even without make-up. Notice that her get-up is very color-coordinated. White and shades of brown.

That is it for today. It is 3 AM, and I better catch up on my sleep or I'll be late again for work tomorrow. Send me an email if you have questions. Nyt! :)

Those Striped Dresses

Previously, I have posted about the always seen celebrity striped tops. I wasn't surprised when I saw that the stripes fad did not only reach the tops, but the short dresses as well. Here are some celebs who did get into the striped mini-dreses thing:

Heather Graham looking cool in a gray and black short dress that she matched with vertically striped stockings and black boots.

Here is what Rachel Bilson wore when she guested on MTV's TRL with Zach Braff. If you have been reading my blog, (and I love you for that!) you will notice that Rachel has worn these shoes before. See my post about wearing shorts like a star. We know that Rachel is not one of those celebs who often wear fashion pieces only once or twice. Other celebs who are known for wearing their pieces with other ensembles are Reese Witherspoon and Sienna Miller. Nice to know that at least some stars are still practical like us ;)

And here is Nicky Hilton...

...whom aside from wearing the striped short dress, has also given a sigh-of-relief to the people, knowing that she is the opposite of her sis. I guess you know what I mean ;)

And lastly, here is Lindsay Lohan looking pretty in this red striped mini dress. Gosh, she REALLY is freckled!

Look at her watch, this is what I would like to have this Christmas. The expensive-looking silver watch that goes with anything. If Santa is reading, my mailbox is waiting ;)

Wear Flip Flops With Style

Flip flops. They are the simplest prerequisite to walking. They come in different colors and styles. And the best part is, you can remove it from your feet as easy as 1-2-3. No need for socks, zippers or laces.

When wearing flip flops, you don't have to look like you rushed out of the house or that you are sporting a summer or beach get-up.

Let's see how some celebs match their flip flops with their outfits:

I've never been a huge fan of the Olsen twins - stylewise. For most part I never learned to love their intricate grandmommy style. But I have noticed that they actually look better when they dress less intricately. Like on this pic, Ashley Olsen looks simple and elegant even when wearing flip flops. Black pants is the best partner of black flip flops. This can make you look less casual, but more elegant.

Here is another black-to-black combo from Hilary Duff:

Her combination of this leopard print sweatshirt with this type of bag goes well. Even if she is wearing flip flops, she manages to look exquisite. Oh, and I almost forgot, NEVER wear flip flops or any toe showing footwear without having your pedicure done. Also, black and red complement each other well. Red polish will be the best for black flip flops.

You might also wear your flip flops in Nicole Richie's style:

Sometimes, the bag you're carrying makes your whole outfit look like it cost you a lot of money. Imaging Nicole on this pic with and without her large leather bag. Doesn't her whole outfit look better with it?

Should you choose to match your flip flops with shorts, make sure that your legs were shaved and moisturized! Dry, chapped skin is a no-no!

Here are flip flops the Kate Hudson way:

Notice that her flip flops have the same colors as her tank and skirt.

Or this one, which is the most ordinary way of wearing flip flops. WIth jeans!

Notice that flip flops are most appropriate if used during daytime. And guess when flip flops are most useful? When getting pedicures at the salon!

The Big Bags

I love big bags. They let you put in almost anything. One thing that I hate about it though, is when you're looking for something small that has been hidden underneath all your other stuff. Like a key, or those small coins. That sets me off sometimes.

But I still love the big bags. Bags are what I call "wardrobe fiinishers."

Like these ones from Rachel Bilson and Reese Witherspoon:





Of course, when using bags, the color must always match your clothes. But it doesn't always have to be the same color.



White bags are as versatile in color as the black ones, but other colors are great too.



I bet Denise Richards' bag has baby stuff in it.

Also big bags do not always have to be the have the same pattern as with your clothes. As with Mischa and Eva's:





Animal prints are fun, too! See Jennifer Lopez's:



As well as colorful ones, like Nicky's:



Big bags are trendy. That's why Halle Berry can't get enough of it.



They are a must!

A Dash Of Colors

I believe in the saying that the combination of colors we wear reflects our mood and feelings for that day. Most of the time when we wear all-black, it's because we are in a sexy mood. Either that or we feel depressed. When we wear all-white, it's either we feel clean or we feel dirty that we want to look clean. It can also be that we feel the hot weather.

Colors tell a lot of things, and here are some ways on how you can spice up your wardrobes through adding a dash of colors. The end result would be a brighter, more cheerful you.

This black mini-dress paired with black flats may make you look like you came from a funeral when worn during daytime. To avoid this, you may wear a bright-colored long sweater the has the same length as your mini-dress.

Mandy Moore's black dress is suitable to the occasion. But if you want to add a little color to brighten it up, wear a bright-colored belt over your dress. In Mandy's case, she used a satin belt.

You might also choose to liven up your all-black outfit with a bright-colored long scarf worn on your neck like Nicky Hilton did.

Sometimes, we may not be in the mood to wear just one color. In this case, you may brighten up your look by wisely choosing your color combinations.

Hilary Duff wisely chose a dark, dark shade of pink to go with her dark top. She also matched it with a perfect pair of white shoes which I think I'll be getting myself soon. I love her shoes here.

In Lindsay Lohan's case, she paired her pastel pink sweatshirt with flats that were deep red in color. It is similar to what Rachel Bilson did:

Bright red top with bright red shoes and jeans.

Here's another one from Paris Hilton:

White shirt. White shades. White bag. White boots.

There will also be cases when we would choose to wear a piece of clothing that has more than one color.

Like this one from Hilary. Brown sweatshirt and brown boots. But the colors on her sweatshirt took away the monotonous theme of brown.

Lindsay in blue-white-red. When wearing an accessory to go with your outfit, in this case the scarf, choose a color that is the most dominant in all of the pieces that you are wearing. In this case - white. Why? Because both the sweatshirt and tank has the white color.

That's it for tonight. Till my next post. Ta-ta!

Black, White and Spiderman

I can't wait to see Spiderman 3. Even if Spiderman 1 and 2 are two of the best movies of its kind that I have seen, I still hope that the third one would top it all. So my excitement won't go to waste. You may see its official site here. It says the movie will be shown on May 2007.

Oh my! Why has Spiderman's costume turned to black?!?!

It would sure be great to watch Spiderman in an Imax theater! I really can't wait!

This is the SM Mall of Asia, the biggest mall in Asia. It has one of the largest Imax screens in the world. It also has an olympic-sized skating rink.

BTW, I have seen a lot of black-and-white striped tops lately. They look so elegant and sophisticated. Here are some celebrities wearing the black-and-white striped tops:

Kirsten Dunst

Nicole Richie

Cameron Diaz

Ashlee Simpson


Because of the versatility of its colors, you may wear these tops with almost anything. We all know that white matches anything, and that black is the same. So take your pick. Jeans, skirts, shorts, capris, etc. Just make sure that you only match it with something plain. For example don't match it with a flowered skirt or another striped pants. It would be best to use solid colors.

Have fun shopping for the black-and-white striped top! Tell me when you find one!

P.S. I love Peter Parker! ;)

Simple Dressing

How do you define simple dressing? For me, it means simple ensembles less the sparkling, glittery, and complicated layers and layers of clothing . They are those pieces which you can get your body into without a fuss, in twenty seconds or less. No need for someone to check if the front or back fits you right. You just put it on, and then go.

Simple dressing does not mean that you leave out all the other details, for example your hair or your face. When simple dressing and you still want to stand out, you should not miss out on these details. Take a look at Vanessa Minnillo:

Jeans and a tucked-out top. This is the most common get-up here in the Philippines. Comfortable, versatile and simple. Eventhough the ensemble is simple, take a look at how Vanessa manages to make it look star-worthy. Her hair and make-up were done well. As well as her nails. The long earrings also spiced up the wardrobe. This is what I have told you about not missing out on the other details. Oh, and for your added 411, Vanessa is half-Filipino and was born here in the Philippines.

When simple dressing like Cameron Diaz below, you'll see that she is wearing some expensive-looking jewelries:

Well, we wouldn't see how her face and hair really looked like when this picture was taken, but you'll notice that she is wearing a thick sparkling bracelet and a large ring that looks very expensive. You don't have to own expensive jewelries to spice up your simple outfit. You could just wear expensive-looking jewelries with it. This is mostly suited for night-wear. If you want to do this for day-wear, you may copy Kristin Cavallari's style below:

Although it seems that she is attending an evening event, I think the plastic and rubber accessories would be more suited for a day event.

Here is one of Anne Hathaway in a simple, conservative outfit:

Elegant, simple top and skirt. Noticed her gold bangle bracelet?

Here is a more casual one from Eva Longoria:

You know, sometimes you might choose to miss out on the hair and makeup, but simple dressing can still make you look like a star. How? It's just with the way you carry yourself. The confidence and aura that you project. Same as this one:

You might have just gotten out of bed, but confidence does not make this obvious. And sometimes, the sunglasses can also do the trick. As well as a nice watch, as seen on Jennifer Aniston:

PERFECT POSTURE. Nice sunglasses and a nice watch. As I have always mentioned, bare skin on the collarbone area would always look better when filled with a necklace.

And you know, you could dress like you're the most ordinary person in the world, but still put an edge to it like Kirsten Dunst did:

Just don't ignore what else can be seen, aside from your wardrobe. When wearing shorts this short, never forget to shave your fabulously shaped legs.

So now you know, simple dressing does not mean simple looking. No matter what you wear, what will always matter would be the way you carry yourself. I honestly think that even if we ask Jennifer Aniston to wear just rags, she would still look good on it ;)

The Power Of White

What's so good about white? It's the fact that we all own at least one piece of clothing that is white in color. Be it an underwear, a plain white shirt, or a white skirt or pants. Or even just a hanky. Or a pair of socks.

If I were to own a few new pieces of white clothing, footwear and accessories, these would be my choices:

I would love to have a short tube dress that is perfect for daytime wear such as Keira Knightley's on top. I would also choose a large white bag such as hers and Lindsay Lohan's:

The bag is large enough that you can even tie your scarf on it when you're not using it. Her white boots are a perfect choice for me, too. I'd choose it anytime, as well as Paris Hilton's:

She looks so hip. Here is another picture of her with another white pair and white eyepieces that I would also like to have:

If large, dark shades are perfect, then white shades are perfect too. See it again on Keira:

White shades matches not only light-colored outfits, but dark ones as well.

Naturally, because I wanted a white tube dress, then I would also love a white tube top:

Cameron Diaz's tube top is nice.

And for days when I am feeling preppy, I would love to have these, as seen on Nicole Richie:

Preppy shirt and skirt. Where else can white be more perfect for?

How To Wear A Tank And Rock

When every piece of clothing that you own has been used and is already rotting in the hamper, for sure you will still have a tank top sleeping somewhere in your closet. But how do you wear a tank and make it look like it was not your last option for your day's outfit?

First, wear your tank with a belt.

Like Lindsay Lohan, secure the belt on the slimmest part of your waist. You may pair this with either shorts or pants, but when wearing shorts with just a plain tank, you may show some midriff like Mischa Barton did:


This will make you look sexy, but sometimes, this get-up might not suit the place that you are heading to. In this case, you may choose to wear your tank with a pair of pants, like Keira Knightley did:

This get-up would also be fine with a pair of slacks. Or if you are not in the mood to show some midriff skin, you might choose to just wear a thick belt like Paris Hilton did:

When doing this, make sure that your belt is color- coordinated with your shoes. In Paris' case, her cap and sunglasses are coordinated with her belt as well.

And if you happen to have a tank top that is a little loose, it would be a good idea to wear a small vest over it.

See how classy Keira looks? Tanks go well with short pants and capris. Always remember that when wearing low-cut tops, it is always better to use attractive necklaces.

When all else fails and you still desperately need to wear your ever useful tank, never hesitate to attempt a sporty look.

Pair it with jogging pants like Jessica Alba. It's the look that you just got off the gym. It would be good if you really go to the gym. Or even if you really don't, a day of looking like it won't hurt anybody, would it? ;)

Reese Witherspoon's Style

It was my boyfriend who first informed me that Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe were breaking up. He knew how much I loved Reese, so he called me on my cellphone as soon as he heard the news on the radio. It was sad to know this news. It makes you think that sometimes, not all good things really last. Here is a picture of Reese taken a few days before their separation was announced:

Reese looks so sad and forlorn.

Anyway, Reese is one of the celebrities who I think dresses and carries herself well. I really like her style. I even imitate it:) Here are some scans taken from an issue of People magazine back in April 2006. You'll learn a lot from it, trust me. Check them out:









I hope you learned a lot, "stylewise" from reading the articles. I also hope that Reese and Ryan patch things up. Talk to you soon!

How To Wear Shorts Like A Celebrity

It used to be that when we were kids, we used to wear shorts all the time. But now, when we wear shorts, most of the time it's because we want to feel comfortable or because we wants to diminish the hotness of the sun. We often project a casual or sporty look with shorts. Like Hilary Duff below:

We often pair it with a loose shirt, sneakers or rubber shoes and a sweatshirt.

But hey, it doesn't always have to be this way. With shorts you can achieve a glamourous celebrity look. All it takes is matching it with the right ensembles and accessories.

Take for example this look from Rachel Bilson.

How classy and elegant. The shorts are tight, but not very short. You just gotta find the right shoes, find a tank top, accessorize with long necklaces then finish off with a cardigan that is almost the same length as your shorts. As always, dark and large shades could make you look more elegant. Take it from Lindsay Lohan who, even if she paired her shorts with this type of shirt still looks like a star in every way:

And if you want to project a more lady-like look in shorts, it would be better to pair it with a ladies' shoes like flats or ballet shoes. Nicky Hilton also did this:

How nice and comfortable she looks. You may choose to add a scarf to this look instead of the necklaces. But then, the necklaces look really well on this get-up. See my previous post about scarves.

Or if you want a more preppy look, you may wear it like Nicky :

Choose a jacket that matches the color of you shorts. Just pair it with a plain tank, and again, use necklaces to fill that bare skin on you neckline. Don't over accessorize.

You may also add glamour to shorts by wearing it with high-heeled shoes. Or with wedges:

Eva Longoria did a good job here. Wedge shoes that are the same color as her shorts. Nice choice on top colors too.

You may also pair it with high-heeled pumps:

Nicky Hilton wears shorts with a pair of nice high-heeled pumps. You see, shorts are not only for daywear. If you'll notice, her black silk top is what makes this possible. It is also versatile as how she wears it with another pair of shorts without the cardigan:



All in all, I like Nicky Hilton and Rachel Bilson's style with shorts. I don't know how to over-emphasize this, but always accessorize (bracelets and necklaces) with shorts! Just don't overdo it.

On Scarves

Aside from being a necessity on certain weathers, scarves are also accessories. Which means that scarves are used to complement an outfit and make it more attractive. The good thing about scarves is that you can match it with multiple outfits, and color is the only thing that you have to mind.

See how Rachel Bilson brightens up her plain gray shirt with a striped red scarf:

I guess wearing a scarf with sunglasses really makes someone look glamourous. Even just in an ordinary day.

Have you ever felt a little naked while wearing just a tank top? See how you can remedy that Nicole Richie's way:

Aside from wearing a sweatshirt with her tank, she also uses a scarf.

Here's another tank and scarf combo from Hilary Duff:

I really love her get-up here. Although, if I would wear this style, I would choose a short, short sleeved tight shirt (or should I just call it a baby tee) with a similar neckline to that of Hilary's. I just don't wear tanks a lot. Anyway, always remember that when wearing a scarf with a belt, make sure that the color of your belt complements that of your scarf's. Or when wearing a scarf, make sure that its color complements that of your bag's. Like Keira Knightley did:

I've always thought that purple works well with green.

Scarves do not only work with daytime clothes. Here's another one of Hilary using it for a nightout:



Scarves are very versatile and useful. If you want to add a dash to your look, then use it. It's also a good item to collect. Doesn't take too much space in the closet ;)

Of Belts And Dresses

This past few "Ber" months, we have noticed that belts, particularly thick ones, are not just for pants anymore. From the runways to the Hollywood sidewalks we have seen that belts are good partners to most dresses.

Here is a picture of Keira Knightley looking very conservative in her belted dress:

She looks very girl-next-door on this dress, as opposed to Paris Hilton's.

Bright red. Deep neckline. Black with white belt matched with large black hoop earrings. Seems like she's ready to be the night's party queen anytime now.

Women on your 30's, don't fret because the belted dress is not just for girls on their 20's. As proven by Gwyneth Paltrow's outfit:

She looks like a modern Greek goddess on this dress. But still, this one of Jessica Alba's is my favorite:

I love tubes and tube dresses. Tubes fit my round face very well. I love this outfit, except for the stockings...

If you don't like wearing dresses, you may opt to wear your thick belt with pants. Only, you wear it over your top, as Paris Hilton did:

Was this what she was wearing when she got arrested?

Since belted dresses look really good and are in nowadays, yes I will wear that style. But I still think that the never-waning way of wearing a belt will always be the coolest. Wondering what that is? Well, hehe. It is wearing it with a buttoned, collared blouse matched with belted jeans and boots.

This was how Jennifer Aniston wore it last year when she guested on Oprah. Timeless, if you ask me.

Well, that's it for now. Let me know what you think, and what you would like to see more of on this site. I would really appreciate it. Talk to you soon! Ta-ta.

The Tights Are Back

I was at a local tiangge and I noticed that they were selling those tight-fitting black tights or leggings that were sooo trendy back in the late 80's and early 90's. Isn't fashion like a tide? It just keeps on coming back! What amazed me was how cheap these tights were. And how versatile. You can wear it with any type of shoes (except rubber shoes). You can wear it with flats, flip-flops, wedges, boots, etc. Best thing is, you can wear it anytime of the day, whatever the event is. Here are some of the simplest, but most elegant ways on how you can carry leggings like a star:

Lindsay Lohan's loose shirt, white tights and flat shoes would have been decent enough. But adding that thick white belt on her waist made a lot of difference in transforming the look from average to stylish.

I also think that large bags compliment tights very well.

Large bag with leather jacket.

Large bag with wedges.

Not only can you pair tights with different types of shoes, you can also pair it not just with shirts, but also with skirts and short dresses.

Rachel Bilson on a pictorial.

Lindsay pairs it with pointed shoes.

Too formal? Don't worry, wearing tights with skirts and dresses is not just for evening use. Check out Nicole Richie's ensemble on broad daylight.

All-black with a bright red bag.

How else can we wear tights? Of course...



With boots! See how Keira Knightley wears it with short shorts and boots. Uh-oh, my love for boots is surfacing again. I'm done with this on my last post.. Okay, let me indulge myself to post more pictures of celebrities wearing their leggings or tights with their boots.

Isn't Sienna Miller's ensemble just absolutely gorgeous? I love it!!!

Sienna Miller's boots rock! This is one of the best I have seen..

Uh-oh. This is not a post about boots. I better stop now, or I might crowd this page of my one love: BOOTS. And for those who were wondering what a TIANGGE is, you may check this out to see: All about tiangges. Ciao!
