Wed, 14 May 2008 04:02:00 +0200 LIKE A VIRGIN Okay, The Diva giggles at the title of this post, but alas, she loves the look of the simple virgin-like white dress. And the good thing is that they are everywhere this summer. And in every different shape and price. A fashion idea? Pair it with a fab belt and boho necklace. Wed, 14 May 2008 03:48:00 +0200 ![]() The Diva likes trends. She likes to pretend that she is classic chic and endlessly stylish. But, she loves a good trend. See, she said a GOOD trend. Some trends she can do without. She still has not bought or worn a pair of leggings. But she digs this rocker chic look of pairing a cropped leather jacket with a girly dress. She loves the contrast. She likes how its a fabulous way of dressing down an occasion. Its a great excuse to wear your oh so fab party dress to a casual dinner. Just throw on the jacket and you are good to go. So, be like The Divas BFF Nicole Richie and get one. Be part of the cool clique. Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:52:00 +0200 TREND ALERT - BEJEWELED HEADBANDS ![]() The Diva loves looks that are easy. She loves how things look like hours of style-setting, rather than a super quick 5 minutes. And as a Diva, she loves a bit of bling. So, there you are with a two for one! Easy peasy styling, and you look like a million bucks with the bit of bling. She lives the bejeweled headbands you are seeing everywhere this spring. Like, here, on the heads of the Divas BFFs Lauren Conrad and Maria Menounos. So, what do you think DITs? (Divas in Training) You like? A few of The Diva's faves: Jeweled headband from Delia's - $3.99!! Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:09:00 +0200 LET THE DIVA INSPIRE YOU Sometimes when the Diva leaves for the day, she is feeling a little less than inspired. When this happens she rushes back to her Dressing Room and puts on some of Amy Peters fab jewelry. Made famous by Elizabeth Hasselbeck on Survivor, her designs have also been seen on the necks of Halle Berry and Courtney Cox Arquette. The Divas favorite? The Dreams Come True Chunky Choker Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:16:00 +0200 BE GREEN (WITH ENVY) Must you sacrifice style to be eco-chic? Oh no, says the Diva. The Diva loves a time to celebrate. Doesn't matter - Birthdays, Holidays, Flag Day, Grandparents Day - what have you. In The Diva's eyes, this is a time to grab a martini and celebrate! And it is no different with Earth Day. Why not take some time and shop with some eco-friendly store who have eco-friendly stylish finds. The Diva assures you, your girlfriends will be Green with Envy when they see you carrying this fabulous must-have spring accessory. How "green" is this fab clutch you ask? Its buckles are vintage and the leather comes from remnants from the furniture industry and it is lined with bronze silk. Lovely!! £49.99 at Love Eco. Fri, 18 Apr 2008 14:29:00 +0200 THE DIVA IS A BOHEMIAN GODDESS Well, maybe not EXACTLY a Godess, but close enough, thanks to these fab new spring trends. The Diva loves this look. It's carefree, chic, stylish, and oh so easy to pull off. And it is everywhere! From tops, to skirts, to dresses, handbags, shoes,and even hair accessories! Do you have to do everything at once? Of course not. Add one or two things to your existing wardrobe and you can be a springtime Diva in no time. ![]()

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:10:00 +0200 There is something about yellow shoes this year that makes The Diva giggle with joy. They are the perfect springtime accent color. The trick to wearing yellow shoes is not to match it with a yellow top. Oh no. Wear it with red, or blue, black, pick, or green. The possibilities are endless. Be a trendsetter in every price range. ![]() Cole Haan Aurora Air Sling - $379 ![]() MISS SIXTY Camila - $134 ![]() Jessica SimpsonHanson - $93 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 21:02:00 +0200 SINFUL SOAPS Ooooh, she is SUCH a DIVA. So much so that she only bathes in fabulous, luxurious soap. After all, when you have a body like The Divas, only certain soaps will do. Soap from a drugstore or grocery store? Why, The Diva would never hear of it. When she came across Mi-Spa online, she absolutely had to look around for a special treat. And treated she was!! Mi-Spa is a unique online bah and body boutique that is inspired by century old Asian cleansing power of rice, also known as 'mi' in Chinese. They describe their line as unique and harmonious. Their fab products are said to be blended of the finest essential oils, exotic butters, aromatic fragrances & natural herbs with rice bran oil & other rice extracts to indulge skin in pure bliss. Some favorites that The Diva gobbled up:

Although quite the fashionable Diva, she regretfully admits she is obsessed with her laptop. Some of her BFFs such as Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton tote around their cute little pups in their cute carriers. Well, the Diva does the same for her laptop. And its the same type of love, believe you me. All she needs are the cute carrying cases and she will be all set. But here is the problem - where oh where to find a fabulously chic laptop case? This was a challenging treasure hunt. She loves the leather ones that you see from fab stores like Coach, but sometimes a Diva needs to be a Diva! That is why she is loving these stylish laptop bags from Kailo Chic. It comes in six stylish designs, and can fit a PC or a Mac! A couple of faves below: ![]() Mod Green Squares - $69.99 ![]() Black and White Damask - $69.99 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:55:00 +0200 A piece in every Divas wardrobe should be a luxurious robe. Something to wear while lounging in your Dressing Room. Or if it happened that you are also drinking a mimosa, well, then so be it. The Divas latest purchase? This uber FAB, super soft Organic Terry Robe from Gaiam. In five delicious colors. You can even get one for assistant, if you so desire. After all, she will be serving you mimosas. And psssttt...its organic!
Wrapping up in the thick luxury of our Organic Cotton Terry Robe is just about as comforting as a welcoming embrace from a friend. The hand of the absorbent 100% pure organically grown cotton is as soft and inviting as a favorite blanket, while the matching belt keeps it securely snuggled against you. this best-selling robe is pure indulgence. Imported. Fri, 11 Apr 2008 20:08:00 +0200 The Diva is a lady. She does have these careless "personal" wardrobe malfunctions like some of her celebrity BFFs. Oh no. She knows better. I mean, there are simply too many fabulous products on the market for this to happen! Her favorite? The Hollywood Fashion Tape Hollywood Nights Evening Bag Essentials.

She has a teeny tiny obsession wth American Idol. However, in her defense, so does the rest of the country. So, when she is in her Dressing Room beautifying herself for a noght out, her music of choice has been the current American Idol finalist tracks. (sigh) If only she could be an American Idol. I guess she will have to settle for being a Diva. Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:12:00 +0200 ![]() As you know, The Diva is all about the late nights and early mornings. And there have been many a day where the mere thought of washing her hair is almost too time-consuming to bear. However, she has always pulled though, because after all, she is The Diva, and her fans expect her to look nothing but her glam self. Buuuuuutttt, she is quite interested in the new trend of hair scarves. Sure, we can credit it the Latina Diva J.Lo for starting the trend, but its has sure caught on. Now Diva BFFs such as Nicole Richie, Eva Longoria, and Lindsay Lohan have caught this trend. (Divas thoughts are that these ladies also suffer from the late nights, but she digresses) Anywho, The Diva loves this look. She gives it a perfect 10. But please ladies, no tacky scarves, m-kay? For heaven's sake, you can get FAB ones at Target! No excuses. ![]() Thu, 03 Apr 2008 23:30:00 +0200 ITS ALL IN THE NAME Being the Diva that she is, she is obsessed with her name. It's on everything: sheets, towels, purses, pillowcases, jewelry, etc. You name it, her name is on it. But the trick is this: Nothing Tacky, Everything Classy. Trust me, there are many a southern lady who wears tacky monogrammed jewelry that is so over the top you want to sign her up for the community production of Steel Magnolias. So, go with the Diva - Dainty and Divine. That is why she immediately ordered this fab gold necklace from jewelry designer Danielle Stevens. It's minimal, dainty, and in trendy gold that is all the rage. And at $75, it's a steal. ![]() Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:19:00 +0100 Just when The Diva was getting over her winter blahs, winter came calling again. Snow has been falling all day. While she is excited about a day of lounging, drinking cocoa, and catching up on her soap operas, she was really ready for spring. She has stocked up on the cutest skirts and cannot wait to sport them. But, alas, she must go back to her winter accessories. Which is fine, if you have fabulous one, of course. So, this post is all about the scarfs. Many ways to wear them ladies, as depcited in this post. They can be a fab an accessory as your favorite stylish handbag. But, beware, you can also end up looking like an old bag lady. So, be careful!! Lauren by Ralph Lauren plaid scarf - $38.00
Fossil "Lauren" Chevron Scarf with Tassel - $38 Tue, 26 Feb 2008 02:47:00 +0100 POST-OSCAR FABULOUSNESS So, let's dish on the Oscar fashion. Personally, The Diva was very impressed. Very impressed indeed. You saw old Hollywood Glam. Nothing too trendy, nothing too flashy. The Diva loved the strapless looks of Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, and Jennifer Garner. She also loved the off-the shoulder looks of Anne Hathaway and Katherine Heigel. Black is most definately the new black, as mucho celebs graced the midnight color last night. Her favorite trend? Red! The Diva agrees that nothing looks better with the red carpet than red dresses. Hot, Hot hot! What did you think DITs (Divas In Training)? Did anyone sizzle or fizzle in your eyes? Here ae The Divas Top Fashion Picks! Best overall look: Jennifer Garner Best hair: Katherine Heigel Worst overall look: Amy Adams (seriously, what the eff were those things on her breasts? She looked like Helga from the Hagar the horrible comic strip) Worst Hair: Cameron Diaz (How many times can she just flop it up in the back for a "red carpet look"? She probably wears it the same way to the gym. No offense, darling - kisses!) Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0100 SALE ON DENIM (DIVA NOW BROKE) Oh, The Diva loves a good sale. And when that sale is fabulous designer denim, you might just say that you will be picking up the check for the next few months. The Diva might be a bit broke. But all is well, because she will be sporting fabulous jeans that make her backside make you want to swoon. (go ahead - swoon, you know you want to) Stella Wide Leg in Koop Wash by Raven- reg $240 SALE! $168 TREND ALERT! Wide leg jeans are the must have deinm this season.
Victoria Beckham in Anthrax Wash by Rock & Republic - Price $275 SALE $193 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 20:13:00 +0100 THE DIVA LOVES LIPS ![]() This winter its all about the lips. Lips are taking center stage and putting the smoky eyes behind the curtain. To get this look, go for a pretty red. Go ahead, try it. HOWEVER, The Diva begs to please go with a lip liner as well. Do the same shade as the lip color. Line all of you lips and put the lipstick on after. Trust me, DITS (Divas in Training) there is nothing worse than a red lipstick that runs away from your lips. Eeek. Yucky. One to try.. LORAC Cream Lipstick Lip Color in June Wed, 30 Jan 2008 22:47:00 +0100 WHOS THE DIVA? Hmmmm. The Diva has decided that although these are the same Alexander McQueen dress, she thinks they look very different. There is something to be said for that. The hot pink changes the entire look of the dress. You go from classy to rock star. ![]() Sienna Miller donned her black Alexander McQueen dress for the Interview premiere in London in October, while the Cashmere Mafia star Lucy Liu added a belt to her fuchsia version while visiting The Late Show just this week. Tue, 29 Jan 2008 13:45:00 +0100 THE DIVA HAS A CURE FOR SPRING FEVER The Diva has a bit of spring fever. She cannot tell a lie about that. She has changed out her dressing room with the sweaters and boots, and filled them with fun skirts and sandles. (ok, well, so maybe she just had a new closet built, but same difference, right?) She just couldn't part with her winter wardrobe just yet. But Boden is making it much easier with these super cute skirts! I mean, seriously, how fun and unique are these?? Fancy Long Applique Skirt - $108.00 in brown, blue and ivory Floral Skirt - $98 in stone, brown, green and teal Swishy Applique Skirt - $114.00 in brown, ivory and white Thu, 24 Jan 2008 22:26:00 +0100 The Diva can do funky. Not many women can pull it off. I know, you are surprised. The Diva can pull of so many looks. And, as you know, she is a big advocate of accessories making the perfect outfit. And that is obvious with this truly funkified necklace from Boden. But, she urges you to please purchase with care. Make sure you can handle it. Leave your attire with the necklace only. Do not over accessorize. Wed, 23 Jan 2008 18:52:00 +0100 THE DIVA LOVES A GOOD BLOWOUT ![]() But of course, The Diva also knows that sometimes her favorite salon cannot see her at a moments notice. (Whatever, those stupid salons simply do not know what a star she is) Anywho, sometimes The Diva has to sacrifice at home and do her blowouts herself. That is why she simply cannot live without her Hairart Ceramic Straightening Iron. She simply does not know what she has ever done without it. She simply dries her hair, and then slides this fab iron over each piece for a super straight glossy finish. And she promises she is not trying to immulate the likes of Beyonce, Nicole Kidman or Demi Moore. Her hair is fabulous all on its own. Promise! Hairart Ceramic Iron - $90 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 03:28:00 +0100 WHOS THE DIVA? ![]() So, who rocked this star-studded ensemble? I know what you're thinking. Yes, I get that they are "superstars" but do they literally have to wear it? Anywho, the Diva digresses. Carmen Electra decided on this sparkly Catherine Malandrino ensemble dress at TRL back in January 2007, while almost a year later, Paris Hilton showed off her celestial print dress at a salon opening in Las Vegas. Aaannnndd, we all are just going to whisper about the fact that Paris wore it a YEAR later. What a fashion faux pas. Fri, 18 Jan 2008 20:03:00 +0100 THE DIVA AND OUTERWEAR, FRIENDS FOREVER The Diva is sick of the winter blahs. Christmas parties are over, and she is ready for the weather to CHANGE!! What better way to "spring" into spring (ha, ha The Diva makes a giggle) than to tempt yourself with these fine jackets? Be one step ahead of those sorry souls that wait until spring to shop. And you know how the Diva loves outerwear!
Wed, 16 Jan 2008 19:10:00 +0100 INSTANT MANICURE The Diva loves pretty nails. In fact, she pretty much is obsessed with them. She refuses to be like her old BFF Britney Spears and actually be photographed with nasty nails! I mean, I know Britney Spears, like The Diva, have people around her that tend to her. That is why there is NO EXCUSE when there are neato products like Avon's Instant Manicure around. They are EASY, FAST, and are base, color and top coat in one! I mean, seriously, your assistant can be putting these on you when you are having a martini. NO EXCUSES DITs. ![]() |
