Gah, I just LOVE Olivia Palermo! She makes me have fashion geek outs everytime I see her strutting her stuff. I have a major girl crush and I am so not the least bit embarassed. This latest pic shows Palermo giving us a first look at the Catherine Malandrino for Design Nation for Kohl's, available in stores Septemer 27th. I don't know about you, but I am ready to buy this cutout shift dress and whatever else in the collection based off Palermo's styling.

I almost didn't recognize Hayden Panettiere at David Letterman last night. The usually girl-next-door, bubbly blonde went for a bold new look with what looks like a wig with some very blunt bangs. I am all for experimenting with fashion but this goes a bit too far for me and boarders on trashy, especially when Panettiere is such a natural beauty. Why hide that?

Ciara looked smoking hot at last night's MTV Video Music Awards. When else can you wear a winter wonderland, illusion dress, with feathers and zipper detail on the shoulders and not look like you are in a costume? But in all seriousness, Givenchy did an amazing job with the design of this dress keeping it fun, sexy and daring without entering into the trashy arena.

The always impressive Cate Blanchett looked stunning at the Australian premiere of her new film Blue Jasmine. Blanchett hit all the right notes in a peach colored maxidress by Roksanda Ilincic that struck the right balance between casual and dressy. When you find a dress like that you want to grab onto it for dear life and never let it go!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released their first family photograph of themselves with four-week-old Prince George. Breaking from tradition yet again, they had Catherine's father, Michael Middleton, photograph them instead of using a professional photographer to capture the happy family. Everything is more relaxed about these royals, from having their baby's Grandpa take the picture to using the Middleton's home in Buckleberry, Berkshire as the backdrop. Both Kate and Will looked happy, healthy, if not slightly tired, as they held a sleeping Prince George.

Emmy Rossum's fashion gets better and better and better. Rossum turned heads in Beverly Hills at a Delta Airlines sponsored event. The young starlet wore a Rebecca Minkoff multi-colored, plaid dress with piping detail. I love the feminine silhouette mixed with the bold print - it's a fun take on a Rebecca Minkoff mini!

Lily Colins was all smiles at the Q&A for her new film The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones in LA. The young starlet look chic and ladylike with a touch of edge in a sweater and skirt by Bec & Bridge. I love the slight shimmer in the knits and I applaud her mix of copper and platnum tones. I wouldn't have thought to do that but it seems so obvious looking at her outfit now. Collins finished off her look with metallic heels and minimal makeup proving that she is a keen sense of style.

It has been far too long since I could gush about a Kim K fashion moment. But finally, the moment we have all been waiting for has arrive! Kim K emerged with baby North West and baby daddy Kanye West today and TMZ was their to capture it. The new family was all smiles as the left a medical facility in Los Angeles. Baby North West was tucked away and concealed in her car seat but I just know she is gorgeous.

Jennifer - the 1980's called and they want their fashion back. I am so shocked by this very un-Jennifer Aniston look that I did a double take. Jen, what happened? What's wrong? Are you feeling blue so you needed to borrow a dress from your friend's tween's closet? I am sorry, that was harsh but, flowers and pleats and crazy messy hair? This is not the stylish, sleek, sexy Jennifer Aniston we all love!

The newly married Kerry Washington stepped out for the Teen Choice Awards showing off her long legs and her new ring. The 36-year-old Scandal actress looked gorgeous in a Stella McCartney mini-dress and Christian Louboutin shoes. The Teen Choice Awards was the perfect place to wear such a fun and whimsical dress. But Washington definitely glammed it up with her styling and accessories.

Hailee Steinfeld, I bow down at your fashion prowess. I will admit I was not familiar with House of Holland until I saw this picture from last night's Teen Choice Awards. But Steinfeld's dress and styling commanded so much attention that I had to immediately stop what I was doing and look up everything I could about the British label. Steinfeld wore a pre-Spring 2014 dress to last night's event and rocked it like there was no tomorrow.

Are you as in love with this Moschino dress as I am? I saw this photo of Julianne Hough the other day but I filed it away until the time was right. And I thought Friday was just the day to gush. This dress combines so many gorgeous elements but it's not overdone, and it stays classic! Isn't that amazing that something is both trendy and classic all at once? I am in awe.

Model and actress Joanna Krupa is a fan favorite from shows like Dancing with the Stars and The Real Housewives of Miami. She looked gorgeous on the red carpet last night at the Season 3 premiere of The Real Housewives of Miami in a long green gown by Reve by Khushali Kumar collection. This bold fashion choice is proof that Krupa is one to watch.

There is something so sexy about menswear on a woman. Its confident, bold and daring. I know its been in trend for a few seasons now but that doesn't mean that everyone has the guts to go for it, or they opt for the menswear inspired piece that is still ultra feminine. Fresh faced Chloe Grace Moretz went for it in a big way at the photo call for Kick-Ass 2 in a Viktor and Rolf suit, a white button down and black mary janes.

I don't know about you but I am super happy Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock picked Chris Siegfried! Mushy poems aside, those two make an adorable couple and I was rooting for him the whole time (so not on team Brooks!).

I love Amanda Seyfried, love her. But I don't always love her fashion choices. Sometimes she knocks it out of the park like at the SAG awards in a stunning Zac Posen gown. And then sometimes she will kind of miss the mark a little like at the Oscars. I thought that dress was just a little too old for her, or it was the way she did her hair with the dress. Anyway, I was hoping Seyfried would wear something a little more exciting and bold for the premiere of her new film Lovelace. With all eyes on the young starlet, isn't now the perfect time to go big or go home?

I love a great Jennifer Aniston pic, but this is no ordinary Aniston photo-op. A normally low key Aniston was showing off her gorgeous engagement ring at last night's 'We're the Miller's' premiere, giving full frontal ring. I mean, have you ever seen a bigger rock?! It looked like it was too heavy for her hand! I love it though, she was radiating love and happiness.

This Balmain dress on Kate Hudson is one of those 'more is more' examples. For me, everything about this dress is so wrong its so right. There is so much going on that my eye doesn't know where to go first - the flowers, the beading, the checked detail? But somehow it comes together in a harmonious way that just works.

It's so funny that I came across this photo of Vanessa Hudgens looking as adorable and stylish as ever in head-to-toe American Eagle Outfitters as I just was looking around in the store today. I was so pleasantly surprised to see so many cute items that I literally stopped and went 'oh, that's cute!' The store still geared towards the younger set, but there are some really great finds at great prices. Hudgens' outfit is a perfect example!

I have loved Lizzy Caplan since I first saw her in Mean Girls. She's funny - bitchy funny - sarcastic, spontaneous and the kind of girl you just wish you were friends with. Oh, and did I forget gorgeous? Because she's gorgeous. Case in point, this amazing look she wore to the CBS/CW/Showtime Summer TCA party in Los Angeles. Not only is she wearing a bold orange but she is nailing it from head-to-toe.
