Someone needs to tell Vanessa that a cell phone is best used for phone calls, not naked pictures for Zach! Anyway, while most are concentrating on her racy photos, I prefer to highlight Vanessa’s other attributes; namely her style. Get Vanessa’s look for less (compare Vanessa’s $300 shoes to Chinese Laundry’s “Bounty” for only $129!).

“We adore Jimmy Choo’s shoes and bags. They are glamorous and sexy, and they add instant style to the simplest of outfits.

Celebrity Redo for Under $100: Reese Witherspoon
May 6, 2009 by 1vida
Filed under Celebrity Redo
I like Reese Witherspoon’s laid back look but I think it’s way too busy. Take, for example, the blue dress against the gray cardigan – it’s just confusing and looks like she threw on any old sweater she could find. And then there’s the fringed sandals that I think make her legs look shorter than they actually are. For the Celebrity Redo, I swapped out her blue dress and added a chic white dress with pockets which really pops against the gray cardigan (LOVE me a dress with pockets!). I kept the fedora but switched out the fringed sandals for jeweled one’s. Best of all this entire redo is under $100!
