Picture 56When it comes to name necklaces, it’s hard to escape the pidgeon-holed image of a street confident Carrie from Sex and the City or the favorite gift at a Sweet Sixteen party.  To me, name necklaces are fun, youthful and when worn with the right outfit, sexy.  Name necklaces continue to trend high on the celebrity fashion scene, and I personally got mine at mynamenecklace.com, which specializes in hand-made name necklaces.  Prices start at $24.95.

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!

Celebrity Copycat: Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling at the Last House on the Left premiere. Her style often see-saws between gawdy and great, and this time she is definitely on an upswing with a cropped leather jacket and jeans. Not sure what type of shoes she’s wearing, but I found these flowered platforms and immediately fell in love (even though they’re a bit pricey)!

Celebrity Copycat: Jennifer Aniston

A bit pricier than my usual Copycat post but I really liked Jennifer Aniston’s look and I think it’s a style that will be around for a while (especially in the color gray).  I don’t usually make a habit of buying dresses at this price online, but a J.Crew maxi dress ( or a long A Lined Hem as they describe it) is a hard one to pass up!
