So this happened this morning: Beyoncé popped up at J.Crew’s stellar spring presentation with her sister, Solange Knowles (and little babyoncé!). It was J.Crew’s first Lincoln Center fashion week presentation and we were SO excited about the hot pink on red, the orange lips, the sequined pants, the red, white and blue prints and the grosgrain ribbon sandals that we skipped on out of there to face the sunny morning mere minutes before Bey’s arrival. To say the smile on our face turned upside down when we emerged from the subway to a Beyoncé Twitter explosion would be an understatement. We’re too sad to write more…other than, how awesome is her sequined J.Crew collection dress?

Amber.Stardoll- The most fashionable sisters in Hollywood are definitely Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen! With their chic bohemian approach and constant developing sense of style, these girls live and breathe fashion! For the past years they’ve embraced lots of layers and boho-chic, but we love them the most when they keep it simple. We think they look so great in a long white shirt worn with trendy leather pants, or a sophisticated shirt dress! Love it!
How To Get The Look:
- We just love how Ashley combines two of this year's biggest trends, the transparent shirt and leather! A white oversized shirt is a great investment, both comfortable and chic! You can find one at Topshop
- Leather pants gives this outfit the just right amount of attitude. We found this pair at H&M and can’t wait to start wearing them!
- As much as we love color, sometimes it’s okay to go all black and white. Ashley proves this with her outfit and instead of a pop of color she went for grey suede heels. We sort of love it and you can find an almost identical pair at Asos !
- As for Mary-Kate, we love how she created this young, fashionable, business woman look! With a LBDS (little black dress shirt) you can look super professional but still keep it fresh. We really like this dress from Mango but a shirt playsuit would have worked just as fine!
- A pair of black high heeled pumps is something every girl needs in her closet! We can’t think of any other shoe that can be worn with so many different outfits! MK's closet is probably full of them and you can get a pair at Asos !
This is a look that is both professional and fun! We love how it can easily go from day to night in the blink of an eye!

Season in and season out, Alice + Olivia designs party dresses that make even the most boring conversationalist look like she’s fun to be around. It explains why scenester girls regularly flock to the New York-based label’s presentations—and the spring ’12 collection was no exception. Kourtney Kardashian was given a tour of the ‘60s-inspired pieces by designer Stacey Bendet herself while DJ Mia Moretti and violinist Caitlin Moe rocked out. “So pretty!” Kardashian exclaimed to no one in particular as she walked past four models in frothy, floaty pieces in varying shades of cream. Soon after, the singer Jordin Sparks arrived, wandering around the AstroTurf-lined space while sipping on one of the frosty drinks being served up. There was one party girl who stayed away from the bar: Lydia Hearst. She said, “Honestly, I think more people need to hydrate and drink more water during Fashion Week. It’s the only way to survive.” So if champagne is out of the picture, what makes an ultimate party? “You want everyone to be fashionable, everybody to actually show up on time instead of being the quintessential New Yorker who’s fashionably late, and you want a fun, flirty outfit. That’s kind of how I feel about this,” said Hearst, pointing to her red sequined Alice + Olivia sheath.

- Kardashian reality star, Kylie Jenner, recently walked at New York Fashion Week for Avril Lavigne's collection, Abbey Dawn! Kylie looked super fierce with maroon dyed tips and dressed in Avril's signature punk chic style! Will Kylie move from reality to runway? We hope so! But we suspect that Kylie's older brother, Brody Jenner, who's dating Avril, may have had something to do with this!

One of Rachel's Favorite Looks, Matteo Volta/Imaxtree
Rachel Zoe presented her latest collection yesterday afternoon to an incredibly long line of editors and buyers, all there to sing the mega-stylist’s praise while sipping cucumber coolers. ”It’s about Bridget Bardot when she was spending a lot of time in St. Tropez with Serge Gainsbourg,” she said of her Spring designs. With her label now it its third season, The Rachel Zoe Project back on Bravo and as popular as ever and a new protegé to dress up, baby Skyler, Zoe has no shortage of reasons to celebrate. “He’s here with me, he’s just hiding in the back.” she told us of the baby. ”Now I wear a lot of black because it’s easy to brush off the spit up and formula. And I don’t walk around with him while wearing heels…it’s dangerous.” The spring collection, filled with Zoe’s signature long flowing dresses, sharp jackets and a new range of shoes and bags is, “effortless, easy, glitzy, glam,” and comes in a surprising array of neutrals with pops of cobalt and red. It had us thinking about where this woman finds the time, “It was really hard to miss my friend’s shows [this week], usually I’d be at six shows a day” she said. Instead, she’s made it to two. Sounds like she’s OK with it though: “I’m living my dream!”

There were plenty of spring ’12 pieces to lust after at Preen and Rebecca Minkoff yesterday—think pastel pixel dresses and ruffled blouses at the former and leather harness vests and breezy printed pants at the latter. But for the stylish women sitting in the front row of these shows, what are they dying for right now? And is there anything they’ve had forever that they just can’t bear to part with?

- A lot of you guys cried when we told you that Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev were dating and we totally understand, there is no one hotter than Ian! But it seems that Ian and Nina are really serious and really in love, so if you had any last hope of snagging Ian for yourself you better resign! :)
The two were recently at a party where they gushed about each other and why they are in love. Ian said, that there are "a million things" he loves about Nina, including that "she truly enjoys life...her desire to experience and appreciate everything around her, and chuckle and enjoy it, is great." And Nina is equally enamored, "He always has a positive outlook and positive energy, and he's always happy," she said about Ian.
What we love most about Ian and Nina is that they really try to have a real relationship, they keep things low-key and their romance isn't constantly pap'd. It's genuine. Which is why think that in the next few months Ian is going to propose to Nina! We love it! (usmagazine)

The newbie has already walked Suno, Peter Som, Richard Chai, Honor, Band of Outsiders, Helmut Lang (the list goes on) with lots more booked for the rest of the week. Check out what the stunner had to say about her first time in New York, her favorite action movies, and her most coveted look from fashion week so far.

The sad Target dog that greets you instead of happy Missoni zig-zags.
Proenza Schouler for Target meant lines out the door and Rodarte brought chaos at the register, but this morning’s launch of Missoni’s 400-piece collection has crashed their site. Instead of zig-zags, you get a picture of a toolbox. When reality hit, the fashion pack freaked out. Stylists Emily Current and Merrit Elliot Tweeted, “Whatever @target. crashed site. we had a whole cart and checking out and you crash?!? rude. guess no throws for us. booooo.” At least when the site does work, it won’t be sold out!

- We've seen Lady Gaga in all types of crazazy outfits from a meat dress to a bubble dress, she's done it all. But recently the Gaga has dressed pretty normal (for her) and it's been refreshing! But nothing lasts forever and we just spotted Lady Gaga wearing this outlandish red dress with red sunglasses and taaallll red shoes ensemble and two thoughts came to our mind: ladybug and alien. Maybe it is true, maybe she is was really hatched from a giant alien egg. ;)
