Nicole Richie does Lady GaGa

I may be uber-late with this post, but a fabulous editorial shoot has no expiration date! I simply had to comment on the maternally fab Nicole Richie's spot-on imitation of Lady GaGa in April's Music Issue of BlackBook.

Wearing platinum blond bangs, gold nails and diamond-encrusted jewelry, Nicole channeled the eighties in a ton of spandex and neon. I love that this is such a departure from her usual boho-chic styling. Enjoy!

Lil Harlow is kah-yoot but more importantly in my world, her mama is still rockin the Chanel Half-Tint 5018 sunglasses that she practically lived while preggers during the summer of 2007. Love them! Chanel never ever goes out of style.

Our girl Rih Rih performed in New Zealand recently and was clearly serving up sex on a platter in this Catwoman-esque get up. Can you count the ways?

Now Wear This! Rompers, Jumpers and Jumpsuits (oh my!)

Miss Rihanna is becoming a fashion icon of our time. Often in something mix matchy, she expertly pairs varied colors and styles - like a flirty dress with a tough leather jacket. Now, she has brought a whole new meaning to the words, "one piece." And we're not talking about bathing suits - although the one she wore in the jacuzzi with Chris Brown is fierce - but rather, rompers. A throwback to the 70's, one piece jumpsuits and short jumpers are easy breezy dressing at its best.

And she's not the only one, Miss B, Jenny LoLo, Nicole Richie, Kim Kardashian, MKO, and plenty of others have jumped on to the jumpsuit bandwagon.

Here are some choices you can try for this 2008 trend:

Killah Silk Hotpant Playsuit $65.67


Black Halo Jackie O Romper $328.35

Plastic Island Linen Jumpsuit - $128

Paul & Joe Sister Leaf Print Jumpsuit $120.40

Bebe Safari Jumpsuit - $139

VS Eyelet Romper $14.99

Nicole Richie in Harper's Bazaar

Nicole and her doe eyes are on the cover of the latest Harper's Bazaar. I heart this girl. Her little family is so cute. Check out some pictures from the Harper's photo shoot, below.

Style Find: Wayfarers

This is definitely one of those trends that you either love or hate, but every celeb hipster worth their salt is rockin a pair of Raybans' iconic Wayfarer sunglasses right now. Of course, that means it was time for your girl Elle to get on the bandwagon. Although you can get an authentic pair for $100 plus, why splurge on an item you will most likely be looking at with disgust next year? I got mine here for a steal ($12.99 plus shipping).
They are super cute: they give me a geeky chic, quiet cool look that I'm loving. These are a great alternative for those of you who are over the huge, bug-eyed sunglasses that have been everywhere the past couple of years.
What do you think? Are these a must or a bust?
