Strictly speaking, stilettos, named after the long skinny knives, are skinny heels three inches and over, although many people use the term stilettos and high heels interchangeably. Also known as spiked heels, stilettos are the most challenging shoes to walk in because the heels are so delicate.

The rules for buying heels are the same for buying any shoes: Do wear the right size. Don’t cram your feet into too small, too narrow or too big shoes. But they also come with their own set of rules: Don’t wear super high heels more than 12 hours at a time. Do stretch your calves after wearing heels; high heels can cause your achilles tendon to shorten over time.

Hayden Panettiere at the ESPYs Giant Event

Hayden Panettiere has a beautiful face and I normally like her sense of style. But I didn’t love her look at the 2008 ESPYs Giant Event held at the J Bar and Lounge on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

The shiny orange and blue print gown that Hayden wore wasn’t bad in itself, it just didn’t flatter her at all. In fact, it swallows her.

Her face looks absolutely gorgeous here. She has fabulous features and a terrific natural beauty. Since Hayden is just 5 feet tall, a dress with a big print like this kind of overwhelms her frame. Petite women should stick with smaller prints. She’d also be much better off in something a little more fitted and perhaps something that doesn’t go all the way to the floor.

An ankle length maxi dress where she could show off some high heels or even a cocktail length dress is much better suited to her frame. Nevertheless, she’s a beautiful girl.

Justin Timberlake hosted the 2008 ESPYs, which was taped on Wednesday, July 16th but will aired on Sunday at 9:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.

On Tuesday, Hayden played her first single - “Wake Up Call,” on Ryan Seacrest’s KISS-FM radio show.

“They’re a little bit eclectic,” Hayden said. “[The music] changed so much over the years, just because my life experiences and who I am as a person is obviously reflected in the music.”

Skinny Jeans for the Not-So-Skinny

Boyfriend Straight Legged Jean

Luckily for most of us, the skinny on skinny jeans is that you don’t actually have to be skinny. Indeed, the operative word in this style refers to the cut of the pant, and not the wearer: they are long and narrow, hence, skinny. Continue Reading Skinny Jeans for the Not-So-Skinny »

Britney Spears Gets New Hair

Britney Spears left the B2V Hair Salon in Beverly Hills on Tuesday with fabulous new hair extensions. We have seen Brit with horrible looking hair in the past, so maybe she’s on the road to recovering her celebrity style.

Britney Spears - Hair Extensions

Of course, she hasn’t pulled it all together quite yet. Her bra strap is falling down and her face doesn’t quite look it’s best. But really, let’s not nitpick. Her printed halter dress is very cute and her sunglasses look fab. And I love big white handbags - perfect for summertime.

Wouldn’t it be classic if Britney actually got her act together and starting looking and acting normal again? But really, what fun would that be?

Britney been so entertaining (yet sad) to watch over the last few years. She is going to be filming a video for a “virtual appearance” on the upcoming Madonna tour. So that’s why she’s trying to get her hair into tiptop shape. Good luck, Britney!

Here’s a quick look at Britney Spears leaving the salon, courtesy of Hollywood Bubble TV:

Beverly Feldman Wanted Floral Sandal

Floral sandals are very trendy this season. Whether you are talking about floral prints, floral appliques or jeweled floral embellishments, you will find flowers everywhere. Floral sandals are feminine shoes that are versatile enough that they can be worn for a variety of occasions. Here are a couple of my favorite floral sandals from Nordstrom in various price ranges.

A set from the G-9 collection of wood lingerie and underwear.

If you want to really go green, try underwear made out of wood. Seriously!

Clothing designer Sophie Young, founder of g=9.8, has created an underwear and lingerie line for both men and women that is really (honestly) made from wood. The wood fibers are extracted and then spun into a fabric, or Lenpur, that is reportedly as smooth as silk. Continue Reading Wood Underwear and Lingerie »

Is Charlize Theron Preganant? Well if the latest pictures are any clue I’d have to say yes. Charlize Theron showed up at the premiere of her latest movie Hancock with Stuart Townsend and was looking a little “puffy” in the belly. Nothing was confirmed or denied, but that’s how things are in Hollywood, nobody says a word, until it’s obvious.

Pussycat Dolls Bring the Bump & Grind to Bally’s Fitness Video Commercial

You’ve gotta give credit where it’s due the Pussycat Dolls have taken a raunchy vegas burlesque act, and toned it down and focussed the sex appeal to stay exciting, but keep still Madison Avenue happy. Their ad for the Pontiac Vibe or their new Bally’s Total Fitness Commercial show that the sex kittens have what it takes to bring it to the table. It’s too bad Treasure Island TI couldn’t figure it out with their nightly street side Sirens Pirate Show, sexy pirates (both men and women) would have really been hot (and profitable) during the Johnny Depp Pirates of the Caribbean era …

Tara Reid’s Plaid Hat

Tara Reid was out on the town at the Coco DeVille lounge in West Hollywood wearing a cute white mini dress. However Tara didn’t look as cute as the dress.

Obviously, the camera just caught her face at a bad moment because the subsequent photos, she looks much better. But I just have one question, “What’s with the hat?” Talk about out of place!

She ruined a perfectly good outfit by adding a colorful plaid cap. The plaid hat isn’t that bad itself. It might be cute with a casual outfit - a T-shirt and jeans maybe. But it certainly isn’t nightclub attire … especially with a white dress. I really don’t like her choice in jewelry with this dress either. The colorful beaded necklace, bracelet and anklet look cheap (though I’m sure they aren’t). Again, just a bit too casual for the dress.

I’ll give Tara some credit for her great shoes! Her bronze peep-toe pumps are really cute, even with her toes hanging off the end. This isn’t Tara Reid’s worst fashion disaster though. Remember when her boob popped out, showing her implant scar? I guess a bad hat and jewelry is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Celebrity Baby Names: 13 Unlucky Kids

Max and Emme Anthony
Max and Emme Anthony. Nice names. And a little disappointing for scholars of celebrity baby names. Who woulda thought Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony would go for normal?

There are many advantages to being the child of a celebrity: Wealth, good-looking genes, hobnobbing with famous people. But being the child of a celebrity is a tough act to follow. Just ask Marlon Brando’s kids. Or Joan Crawford’s. Isn’t it hard enough for a girl to follow in the footsteps of a mom who’s a sexpot like Demi Moore without being saddled with a name like Rumer?

So Max and Emme are lucky; other celebrity spawn were not so fortunate.

A Look at Why Celebrities Love Salt Swimwear

A halter triangle top from Salt Swimwear

Salt Swimwear is a line of one-piece and two-piece swimsuits that was only developed in recent years by fashion designer Layla Pakzad. Even in the short period of time that this niche fashion line has been around, it has gained some serious attention from the media. This has been due in no small part to the fact that there are a number of celebrities who have taken a liking to the design and who can be seen spotted on the world’s most glamorous beaches wearing one of these swimsuits. Luckily for you, they’re not so outrageously priced that they’re designed for celebrities only so if you still haven’t gotten brave enough to purchase this year’s swimsuit, this might be a line that you’ll want to take a closer look at before the cooler weather is upon us.

Miley Cyrus career is clearly heading in a new direction with the photos from her new Breakout Album

Pictures from the new Miley Cyrus Breakout Album show that the singing pop star and her handlers are moving away from the squeaky clean image to a more mature, sexual woman. It’s hard to say that this a good thing considering the teen pregnancy of Jamie Lynn Spears and the Pregnancy Pact earlier this week. You also have to wonder how Disney feels about the OTMFC acronym (it stands for Off The Mother F*%king Chain). More pictures after the jump.

Mia Godiva Gladiator Sandal

Everybody is wearing gladiator sandals. From celebrities on the red carpet to average Janes like me and you. Though, I have never been thrilled with the flat gladiator sandals, in recent months I’ve grown to love some of the high heel gladiator-inspired sandals.

Here are a few of my personal favorites, which are affordable too. You shouldn’t spend a bundle on gladiator sandals because the trend might fade away anytime. Continue Reading Gladiator Sandals - Are You Sick of Them Yet? »
