michelleI can't wait to see what my favorite celebrities will be wearing to this year's Golden Globes on January 16. Last year, there were so many gorgeous gowns, like Lea Michelle's gorgeous Oscar de la Renta dress (and Penelope Cruz' dress, which you voted in the poll as your favorite look.)
Of course, there were also some duds like Mariah Carey's bust-popping look. (Photo Credit: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

How to Wear Over-the-Knee Boots

Sunday January 9, 2011
Jennifer
 Lopez in over-the-knee bootsHave you taken the plunge and bought a pair of the new super-tall boots?
I love the way these boots make legs look miles long, but wanted to put together a quick guide to help women figure out exactly how to wear over-the-knee boots since it's a trickier fashion feat to pull off than, say, knee-high boots.
If you're on the fence about whether you are too old to wear over-the-knee boots or not, check out our poll and see what others think about the issue. And if you're over 5'9", these over-the-knee boots are perfect for your long legs; see the guide to boots for tall women. (Photo Credit: Chabrol/Getty Images)

Develop a Trend-Proof Style

Sunday January 2, 2011
One of the biggest gripes I hear each year from women just like yourself, is that they don't have anything to wear. Why is that when we keep on shopping and buying new stuff all the time?
I think that one of the biggest pitfalls to having a great wardrobe is trying to keep up with trends so much that our closets look dated too quickly. The way to avoid this? Develop a trend-proof style.
This doesn't mean that you can't wear trends: you absolutely can (and should.) It's just that you need to have a broader strategy to transcend the trends.
