Pink Lady Lea Michele Hits Michael Kors Benefit | yohana

Lea Michele
Once again, Lea Michele proved she can dress stunningly no matter the occasion. At the Emmys she rocked a red-hot gown, while yesterday she brightened up the room in a girlie fuchsia dress at the Michael Kors benefit in Beverley Hills.
Smartly, the gal paired the designer's brocade-printed number with another one of his stunning creations, silver-mirrored platforms.


Since her ensemble was already eye-catching, she contrasted the frock with rosy cheeks and a blush-hued pout. A nude envelope clutch also helped tame down the hue; and a platinum Melinda Maria ring made the babe's ensemble feel more elegant and mature.
The Glee star finished off her winning look with her trademark long, wavy hair and blunt bangs.

Heidi Klum Goes for the Gold in Silver Roberto Cavalli | yohana

Heidi Klum
Even though Milan Fashion Week has come to an end, celebs are still invading the Italian city. Over the weekend, Heidi Klum attended the amfAR event wearing a stunning Roberto Cavalli gown.
Since Heidi's go-to pieces are minis, it's refreshing to see her sporting floor-length designs. But the supermodel can practically wear anything and look gorgeous; and this silver embellished dress with a ruffled tiered skirt made her look like the belle of the ball.


The blonde needed very little accessories to complete her ensemble, so she teamed the dress with black diamond gems and a fun white feathered clutch. A megawatt smile, side-swept waves and flawless face provided the finishing touches.

Pretty in Prints: Kirsten Dunst Dolls Up for Melancholia Premiere | yohana

Kirsten Dunst
Kirsten Dunst has had her fashion flops throughout the years, but the all-grown up child star has recently stepped up her game. Last night, the blonde attended the London premiere of her film Melancholia wearing a paisley-print frock by Honor.
But this isn't just any ordinary A-line dress, it comes from the line's spring 2012 collection that won't hit the stores for months. Yes, this makes Kirsten the first to ever wear it on the red carpet.



Since the number had a retro feel to it, the actress teamed it with navy Nicholas Kirkwood pumps and silver stud earrings. This kept her from looking dated and too cutesy. So to finish off her ladylike ensemble she opted for a wavy, loose updo and a bold red pout. We give Kirsten an "A" for ahh-mazing.

Julianne Hough Paints the Town Red in a Scarlet Tibi Two-Piece | yohana

Julianne Hough
Julianne Hough always looks elegant and sophisticated when she is strolling through the red carpet. Since the actress had all eyes on her, at the Footloose premiere in L.A. last night, she made the smart choice to rock an unexpected two-piece suit by Tibi.
She might be the star of the '80s remake, but her outfit was totally modern. We love that she paired red silk high-waist shorts with a matching organza top with sheer sleeves—trés chic!


The blonde paired her monochromatic ensemble with pointy nude Ruthie Davis pumps that elongated her gams. Looking already radiant, she stayed away from gaudy jewelry and opted for a pair of gold earrings and a cocktail ring.
She even kept her makeup natural by sporting a nude pout. Sweeping side waves were the perfect finishing touch to such a simply stunning outfit.

Michelle Williams Continues to Conjure up Marilyn in Plunging Dior | yohana

Michelle Williams
Are you more of a Jackie or a Marilyn? Michelle Williams continues to declare her allegiance to the latter camp even after the filming for My Week with Marilyn has wrapped. The pixie-haired star stepped out in a gown that reminded us of the blonde icon to promote her much anticipated film at the 49th annual New York Film Festival presentation.
It seems Michelle agrees with the famous Monroe quote, "The body is meant to be seen, not all covered up," because she choose a revealing off-white Dior dress for the occasion. We love how the plunging neckline mimics the iconic frock Marilyn wore in The Seven-Year Itch. Ms. Williams kept the reference from being too literal by choosing a dress with a flowing floor-length hem, and a black belt ensured the on-screen siren wouldn't be washed out.
Neither a bag nor a single stitch of jewelry was needed to enhance the beauty's simply stunning ensemble. It takes a real showstopper to work a look without any extra adornments, and Marilyn—oops we mean Michelle—does so with ease.

Kristen Bell Evokes Timeless Beauty in Tibi | yohana

Kristen Bell
A little nude dress is just as timeless as an LBD. Have doubts? Well, just look at Kristen Bell as an example. Last night at the NYC launch for the for the Nature Conservancy's "Style and Beauty for the Planet," the actress looked every bit flawless in a strapless, flesh-tone number by Tibi.
We've already schooled you on how to look bold in beige and it seems like Kristen was taking notes. Her peachy pick worked because it has a ruched bodice and a flowy bottom.


To make sure she wasn't washed out by the hue, the blonde paired the frock with sky-high bronze pumps. A white-and-gold box clutch added the perfect hint of color. We love that she went for a chic neutral hue over a bold color because that only adds to the stunning simplicity of the overall look. Straight, flowing locks and a bronzed glow provided the perfect finishing touches. Even without one piece of jewelry the gal dazzled!

Kim Kardashian Shows Off Three Outfits in One Day | yohana

Kim Kardashian
As we already know, Kim Kardashian wore three stunning Vera Wang wedding dresses when she tied the knot to Kris Humphries—and apparently this is her magic number. Even with her busy work schedule, the gal made time to make three different outfit changes yesterday in NYC.


The Armenian babe stepped outside of her hotel wearing a gold high-waist pleated skirt, which she paired with a black blouse, matching black tights and Christian Louboutin pumps. Later on, she swapped the two-piece ensemble for a skintight red gown by Roland Mouret when she hit the Game Changers Awards. Lastly, the gal was spotted wearing the same messy fishtail braid she had on earlier when she strolled the streets with her hubby. And once again, she debuted a new ensemble; this time it was an armadillo-print Givenchy dress teamed with beige thigh-high boots. For your typical Tuesday, Kimmie sure looked divine all three times.

Camilla Belle Hits a Style High Note in Ralph Lauren | yohana

Camilla Belle
Camilla Belle can just quit now, because we doubt she'll ever be able to top how good she looked last night. The brunette beauty is one of those girls that pretty much always looks amazing. She's got great eyebrows, a banging bod and a killer fashion sense to boot. But last night at the Lincoln Center for Oprah Winfrey's Evening with Ralph Lauren in NYC, the actress made our jaws hit the keyboard.
A lot of ladies hit the red carpet in Ralph Lauren like Camilla, but no one shone quite like her. The black body-hugging number with all-over exquisite beading looked like it just came from the couturier's shop. The dramatic silver embellishment and ruffles on the skirt added a modern flapper feel to the gown, while a sheer yoke showed off her ladylike curves.


The actress slicked back her hair to let her true beauty shine, and added a swipe of pink lippie for the perfect pop of color. A silver bracelet on each wrist and a pair of drop earrings matched the bling on the gown, while a black clutch held all the knockout's essentials.

Lauren Conrad Takes the Plunge in a Glittery BCBG Mini | yohana

Lauren Conrad
The bright lights and camera flashes weren't the only things that shined at the 2nd Annual Autumn Party last night in West Hollywood, which benefited the Children's Institute. Lauren Conrad, always a fan of the sultry mini, dazzled in a flashy dress from BCBG Max Azria.
We don't know if it was the plunging neckline or the cream paillettes, but L.C. was the perfect combination of sexy and sophisticated. To further glamorize her look, Lauren pinned up her peach ombre tresses for a classic retro hairstyle, leaving some loose locks in the front to nicely frame her face.


The former The Hills star flawlessly accessorized the glitzy number with nude peep-toed platform heels from Aldo, an oversized snakeskin clutch and gold bangles. She even had a matching gilded mani to boot!
This stylish starlet could write the book on beauty…oh wait, she did! Lauren Conrad Beauty, the sequel to Lauren Conrad Style, is set to hit bookstores soon.

Newlywed Nikki Reed Channels Her Inner Bride in Plunging White | yohana

Nikki Reed
Nikki Reed must have liked the feeling of donning a white gown for her recent nuptials, because she turned out in another white stunner for the Rome premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. The brunette actress has been on a whirlwind of press stops to promote the latest installment of the series, but she didn't let the stress stop her from picking a drop dead gorgeous dress for the Italian premiere.

The deep plunging gown is a creation of Romanian designer Maria Lucia Hohan. We love how the pleating and draping give it a Grecian feel, but the clean lines lend a modern and minimalist feel to the design.
With her telltale newlywed glow, minimal shimmering makeup was enough to make the girl look absolutely radiant. A simple bun allowed the dress to shine on its own, and silver platform heels added to her statuesque silhouette. As expected, the star's engagement and wedding rings provided all the bling she needed.

Anne Hathaway Sparkles In Valentino | yohana

Anne Hathaway
When we think real life princess, we think of Anne Hathaway. Yes, we know that The Princess Diaries and Ella Enchanted were make-believe, but with those wide eyes and pale skin, Anne was typecast for a reason! The girl knows what works for her, and ethereal looks are at the top of that list.
Appropriately, the actress was attending the Princess Grace Foundation Annual Gala in New York City when she wore this Valentino cocktail dress. While an ivory hue was risky for the stralet, the heavily embellished long-sleeve frock had enough sparkle to make any princess—real or otherwise—shine.


With that much bling on the dress alone, Anne didn't need to go crazy in the makeup or accessories departments—Christian Louboutin satin heels and long drop earrings were the perfect matches. She swept her hair up in a bun and added a swipe of dark lipstick to complete the royal look.

Naomi Watts Takes The Plunge In Stella McCartney | yohana

Naomi Watts
Danger, danger! The Audi AFI Fest in Los Angeles brings out big names, but we're pretty sure none of them will steal the show quite like  Naomi Watts did at the J. Edgar premiere—on the first night of the event, no less!
With a cleavage-baring neckline and a thigh-high slit, the sultry stunner worked her slinky silver dress on the red carpet. The blond beauty has long been a fan ofplunging necklines, but this number by her good pal Stella McCartney was a true showstopper.
Even though showing too much skin runs the risk of coming off trashy, the '20s-vibe of Naomi's wrap dress oozed elegance thanks to the mesh piping and delicate sequin detail.
And Naomi wasn't shy about going all-out vamp, pairing long gold necklaces and nude cut-out sandals with the glam gown. Side-swept hair and dark ruby red lips finished off her meant-to-be-stared at look. Trust us—we're staring!

Zoe Saldana Gives the Flapper Look a Modern Twist in Lanvin | yohana

Zoe Saldana
Whether she's kicking butt as a seven-foot Na'vi or shooting up drug lords as a tough Colombiana, Zoe Saldana is every definition of fierce. So it's no surprise her style follows suit. The rising actress turned heads last night at a star-studded bash celebrating Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz's spring collection in downtown L.A.
A Lanvin loyal—she recently sported pieces from the fashion house at the Teen Choice Awards and Spike's Scream Awards—Zoe donned an on-trend colorblock fringe dress paired with black leather sandals. Since the dress spoke for itself, she wore blended accessories: a dark-toned geometric statement necklace, a bronze wrist cuff and a slate mani. Zoe sure made one sexy ultra modern flapper as she swung her vermillion, magenta and orange dress around all evening. Her loud ensemble was perfectly teamed with red lips, dark eyelids and cascading locks.
If Lanvin is looking for a new spokesmodel, Zoe may be the one. She owned the brand from head to toe!

Who Was Your Best Dressed at the Billboard Music Awards? | yohana

Taylor Swift Rihanna Nicole Kidman, Musician Keith Urban Kelly Rowland
Some of our favorite songbirds looked downright divine while in Sin City for the Billboard Music Awards last night.
Taylor Swift exuded old Hollywood glamour in a blush beaded strapless Elie Saab gown with bronze embellishments. Rihanna was cool in every sense of the word in an all-white Max Azria suit and her favorite nude Christian Louboutin pointy pumps. Nicole Kidman struck a balance between elegant and effortless in her black floor-length Dolce & Gabbana pocket dress and side braid. Kelly Rowland got her grown and sexy on in a hot pink Hervé Léger bandage number.

Who Was Your Best Dressed at the MTV Movie Awards? | yohana

Emma Watson Kristen Stewart Emma Stone Leighton Meester
Gone are the days of starlets showing up to the fun and light-hearted MTV Movie Awards in an uninspiring dress that looks like it was purchased from a local mall or, even worse, a lingerie shop. These babes set the standard for the next crop of up-and-coming actresses in the fashion department with their stunning detailed minidresses.
We're talking Emma Watson's pearl-embellished ivory silk Marchesa, Kristen Stewart's safety pin-and-stud red leather strapless Balmain, Emma Stone's yellow-and-gray bustier Bottega Veneta with lace overlay and fringe hem and Leighton Meester's bling-tastic Balmain number.
Keep reading to see what other PYTs—Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Blake Lively—wore and to vote on your fave. Then, visit the Style Shout-Out gallery to see who we crowned best dressed.
Rosie Huntington-WhiteleyBlake Lively
Newcomer Rosie made sure everyone knew her name in this sultry animal-print Dolce & Gabbana, which she paired with tricolored Sergio Rossi patent wedges. Blake looked electric in a bold color combo that consisted of a blue Michael Kors sheath with illusion cutout panels and eggplant purple suede Christian Louboutin pumps.

Liv Tyler & Miranda Kerr Reign in Sultry Dresses | yohana

Liv Tyler Miranda Kerr
We saw A-list celebs shine bright at last night's CFDA Fashion Awards 2011. However, not everyone donned big and bold couture. Our standouts of the night were Liv Tyler and Miranda Kerr.
Although Liv did play with color, her Proenza Schouler silk print dress had a modern and vibrant feel to it. We love how she showed that tribal can also be glamorous. The actress topped off the edgy ensemble with black shoes and a clutch, which are by the same designer.
However, the actress wasn't the only one that dominated the purple carpet. The Victoria's Secret model knocked it out of the park too! Miranda opted for a sexier silhouette that looked terrific on her rocking body. The black Michael Kors cutout dress with a high-slit showed off the babe's endless legs. But her look couldn't have been complete without the matching gold cuffs she wore in both hands. Miranda and Liv showed how you can radiate in unconventionally beautiful pieces.

Kristen Wiig Takes a Fashion Leap in Plunging J. Mendel Gown | yohana

Kristen Wiig
The comedic actress Kristen Wiig entered Kate Middleton's turf last night to attend the Glamour Women of the Year Awards held in London. Although the gal is known more for her funny demeanor than her sense of style, she stunned everyone when she took a fashion leap on the red carpet donned an ah-mazing nectarine colored J. Mendel gown.
The Bridesmaids leading lady knew how to rock the plunging neckline and adorned bronze embellishments located on the shoulders. Since the design already had some bling, she knew to downplay the accessories. So she teamed up the breathtaking look with simple gold jewelry and a classic red pout.
Kristen certainly showed us that looking good is no laughing matter!

Style Shout-Out: Momma Brady's Billion Dollar Look | yohana

Gisele Bundchen
Forbes' top-earning model of the world, Gisele Bundchen, certainly earned a wealthy dose of attention last night at the AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards in Culver City, California. Even though Morgan Freeman was the honoree of the night, we think it was Mrs. Brady who totally stole the show.
Gisele sparkled in her silver-embroidered Oscar de la Renta gown with fishtail train. The design skimmed her perfect bod and gave her an even lengthier appearance, while the electrifying pink ribbon highlighted her teeny waist and added a pop of color to the piece. The Brazilian sensation completed her flawless look with a black Raven Kauffman Couture Nuit clutch, Jack Vartanian jewelry and Jimmy Choo sandals.
We gotta' give it to the girl, the blonde never ceases to dazzle us. She may not be a billionaire yet, but we think she looks the part!

Olivia Wilde & Viola Davis' Fashionable Weekend | yohana

Olivia Wilde Viola Davis
The 10th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball and the 65thAnnual Tony Awards were the biggest events over the weekend. Our favorite showstopping fashionista at each respective event was Olivia Wilde and Viola Davis.
On Saturday, Olivia opted for a Yigal Azrouel dress that was made from beautiful black Chantilly lace and had cream sleeves. The House beauty paired the gown with a jewel encrusted belt and simple stud earrings. The actress completed her stunning look by carrying a pewter Ferragamo clutch.
Then on Sunday, Viola strolled down the red carpet wearing a magenta gown. She too kept her accessories minimal to tone down her vivid ensemble. Viola wore Jack Vartanian jewelry and finished off the look with a matching black satin clutch and peep-toe shoes.
The gals' victory was due to their eye-catching design and modest bling!

Blake Lively Stuns in Angelic All-White Chanel | yohana

Blake Lively, Green Lantern Premiere
Being the face of Chanel certainly has its perks, because Blake Lively stuns in yet another couture gown from the French fashion house. This time around, she opted for an all-white floral appliqué design for the L.A. premiere of Green Lantern, which she stars in alongside fellow hottie Ryan Reynolds.
Although the leggy blonde is infamous for showing off her mile-high gams, she decided to cover them up. But the Gossip Girl still managed to show us a peek of them thanks to the partially sheer skirt. The actress definitely went for a more angelic look versus her usual sexy one.
As Blake struck poses all over the red carpet, she wore stunning Lorraine Schwartz rings, a stack of bracelets and even a barrette. She sure know hows to make a girl jealous! The babe finished off her look by sporting her tresses in a messy side 'do! We know we can always count on Blake to look gorgeous wherever she goes.

Elle Fanning Gets Dolled Up (Literally!) in Baby Blue Marc Jacobs | yohana

Elle Fanning
Whether she's wearing a trendy romper or sophisticated lace, Dakota Fanning's little sis, Elle, always manages to look so darling on the red carpet, which is refreshing considering the fact that she's only 13 years old!
The young actress tugged at our heartstrings with the irresistibly adorable baby blue Marc Jacobs tulle dress that she wore to the Women In Film Crystal + Lucy Awards in Beverly Hills yesterday.
Elle went minimalist with the hair, makeup and jewelry since the designer frock, which was adorned with white floral appliqués, already had enough frou frou going on.
Instead, a pair of God-given gems (her pretty blue eyes) and coral Chanel pumps gave the sweet look some pop.

Jayma Mays Welcomes Summer in Vibrant Mini | yohana

Jayma Mays
Yesterday, Jayma Mays attended the Critics' Choice Television Awards in LA. Like always, the actress looked amazing on the red carpet.
The on-screen guidance counselor wore a bright Elise Overland printed strapless dress. She wisely paired the look with nude pumps, which elongated her gams.
While we adore her preppy ensembles on Glee, we definitely love her personal style more. Not only does she have an eye for style, but also an eye for detail, too. Just look at how the she coordinated her outfit, the peach Ann Taylor fold-over clutch matched the orange tones of the frock. Jayma elegantly completed her look by wearing her hair in a simple bun updo. And even without a single piece of jewelry, the redhead shined!
The gorgeous multi-colored mini was a perfect fresh summery pick. We can't wait to see more fashionable looks from this natural beauty.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Kicks It Up a Notch in Michael Kors | yohana

Rosie Huntington-Whitely
The Brazilians know a thing or two about sex appeal, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley took a nod from the natives when she was in Rio promoting Transformers: Dark of the Moon yesterday. We know the supermodel naturally oozes allure, but we were blown away by her pure seductiveness!
Normally an all-black ensemble would feel too heavy for the summer, but the blonde made her head-to-toe Michael Kors look totally work. We love how the flowy chiffon skirt added an ethereal feeling to the dress and the sky-high slit upped the glam factor. As for accessories, the model-turned-actress added an edgy leather belt to cinch in the waist, which was echoed down to her toes with black buckled sandals. A few simple bracelets and a sleek half-up hairstyle completed the show stopping look.

Teen Star Elle Fanning Prefers Flatforms Over Heels | yohana

Elle Fanning Elle Fanning
Once a gal loves a certain fashion piece, you bet you can catch her wearing it over and over again. And Elle Fanning's vice is flatform shoes.


Back in July, the 14-year-old blonde wore a pair of white chunky Chanel kicks, which had silver scroll detailing. Even though its been months since she showed off the shoes, earlier this week, the teenager sported the fashion-forward footwear again to lunch with friends in West Hollywood—she's über stylish off the red carpet, too!


She teamed the Prada espadrille oxfords with a black top that had a white collar and ivory high-waist, scalloped-detailed shorts. She finalized the look with a pop of color, courtesy of her neon pink Cambridge Satchel Company bag. Even though flatforms were initially a spring trend, the babe shows that you can wear what you like whenever you want!

Top 5 Outrageous Designer Heels of 2011! | yohana

Beyonce
There are fashionistas—and then there are fash-shoe-nistas. This one goes out to the latter. The brave soles souls who risk making it onto somebody's worst dressed list (not that you should care what anyone thinks—if you love it, rock it!) all for the sake of putting their most avant-garde foot forward. Sometimes the unusual footwear is fierce, but most of the time, it's just freakish. Either way, it gives the rest of us something awesome to talk about. What girl doesn't love shoes? With that said, let's get to talkin' about what we consider to be the top five outrageous designer heels of 2011.
 Alain Quilici's "Payson" Skate Lace-Up Bootie ($1,180)
First up, Alain Quilici's "Payson" heels, as spotted on Beyoncé earlier this month in Manhattan. It's not so much that they look like a combat boot, pump and ice skate had a ménage à trois that gives us pause for concern. (By the way, why weren't we invited to that?!) It's more so the fact that they're being worn by a six-months-pregnant woman who's on her way to a meeting. Shouldn't she be kicking off her heels instead of kicking them up five inches off the ground and going to work?
Keri Hilson
Alana Hale Lace Winged Wedges (custom)
What's a thousand times more puzzling than that are Alana Hale's gold lace doily-and-pearl-covered peep-toe wedges. We scratched our heads when we saw R&B singer Keri Hilson flaunting them on the 16th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards red carpet in L.A. back in January. The tacky design looks like something a crazy old bag lady would wear and, yet, the shoe looks like it could have easily been hot glued together by a third grader in art class. Not exactly the type of leg-lengthener a pretty girl such as Keri should rock.
Believe it or not, there is a bright side to all of this. The shoes were custom made. So, we won't see anyone else sporting the hideous footwear again...we hope!
Giuseppe Zanotti African-Inspired Curved-Wedged Bootie ($895)
Nicole Scherzinger
An extraordinary wedge that we did salivate over this year was Giuseppe Zanotti's heel-less ethnic wonder, which X-Factor's Nicole Scherzinger wore while out and about in London several weeks ago. Kelly Rowland also wore the eye candy for a photo shoot. As you know, Kels is a judge on the UK version of X-Factor. Noticing a pattern here? We do! The Giuseppes definitely have it.
We're a sucker for a good tribal piece. Plus, their nude so they'll make your legs look killer. Mind you, we don't actually have any experience walking in heel-less shoes, but, in a perfect world, we'd turn the sidewalk into our own personal runway with these babies!
Christian Louboutin's "Alex" Lion Paw Pumps ($4,995)
Blake Lively
From an African-inspired shoe to one that resembles
he king of the jungle. That's right, move over Alexander McQueen 12-inch Armadillo heels. You're so last year! Christian Louboutin is proving he's the shoe world's current top cat with his "Alex" lion paw pumps.
The bizarre breed of stilettos was first seen on Sarah Jessica Parker while promoting I Don't Know How She Does It in Moscow in August. Then, Blake Lively took a walk on the wild side in the roaring-red soles on the set of Gossip Girl this month. Interestingly enough, the actresses both complemented the furry four-legged theme in their own quirky and unique way. SJP rocked a Little Red Riding Hood-esque Giambattista Valli caped gown, which brought to mind the Big Bad Wolf, while Blake toted her adorable Maltipoo named Penny. So, how do we feel about the clawed design? Let's just say we prefer showing off our pedi in a pair of open-toed shoes!
Christian Louboutin Gravity-Defying Ballet Heels (priced undisclosed)
Christian Louboutin, Shoes, Ballet
As much as the aforementioned celebs love to rock the boldest footwear, none of them dared to slip on our No. 1 outrageous shoe of the year: Christian Louboutin's jaw-dropping 8-inch ballet stilletos. Doesn't it hurt your feet just looking at them?! The one-of-a-kind, Swarovski-encrusted pair was auctioned off at the English National Ballet's Summer Party in London. Something tells us the highest bidder has the ankle-twisters in a well-lit display case—not their shoe closet!

Which Hipster Singer Is Thirsting...For Your Bloooooooood? | yohana

Guess Who
This musician has played muse to many a high-fashion name, Gucci and Lagerfeld among them. But when she recently swept into a London event clad in Carpathian-Mountain chic, virgins shrieked and covered their necks. Well, no they did not. But the gothic Dracula look was definitely bordering on high camp, even though the ensemble was, believe it or not, head-to-toe Chanel. Immediately following her performance at Harrods, the lady also turned into a puff of mist and flew out the nearest window. Oh, all right. No she did not.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Keeps Not One, But Two Winter Trends Alive! | yohana

Jennifer Love Hewitt
Looks like Jennifer Love Hewitt is entering 2012 with some seriously stylish and au courant new outerwear! The Client List star was spotted doing some post-holiday shopping at DIGS' new downtown flagship store in SoHo, which she calls her "new favorite store." We can see that!


The fashionista picked up some amazing one-of-a-kind looks, including a fabulous trench coat with faux leather arm accents, which she is shown wearing. She also had her eye on a wall of goregous fur vests. Both winter items—contrast sleeves and lush layers—are on trend for the season.
Don't plan on visiting the Big Apple any time soon? You can also do some retail damage, like Love, by visiting DIGS' brand-new site Digsmoda.com to peruse trendy designs inspired by European sophistication. Their collection will help you feel warm without looking frumpy!

Which Onetime Tween Queen Is Ready for a Second Career...In An '80s Hair Band? | yohana

Guess Who
Some winter days call for snow shoes, and some winter days, you've just gotta go for the thigh-high, lace-up, open-toe boots that you last wore to that Ratt/Dokken stadium tour. The wearer of these boots is probably too young to know what a Ratt/Dokken stadium tour is. But she sure knows how to pick a pair of boots that would look right at home in the front row.

Leona Lewis Rings in 2012 by Channeling Black Swan | yohana

Leona Lewis
Move over, Avril Lavigne. It looks like Leona Lewis really wanted to snatch the punk rock princess tiara right off your punky little head.
If Black Swan was shot at a prom in the '80s, a plumage-and-tulle combo would've worked. Sadly, the "Bleeding Love" singer wasn't on a movie set but ringing in 2012 at Hyde Bellagio in Las Vegas. (Although, we just came up with a great idea for a spoof flick. Call us, Hollywood!)


Apparently the British beauty wanted us to forget about her good girl image and penchant for airy ballads when she paired the pink tutu with a frilly black off-the-shoulder top. But the horror didn't stop there. She weighed the heavy look down even more with black tights and chunky pumps, then oddly added on a thick pearl-and-chain choker and gold ruched clutch.
We will give Leona this, however: her loose waves and pale pink pout look fabulous! Let's just hope things keep looking up from here—it's only the first week of January, after all.

How To Stick to My New Year’s Resolutions? | yohana

Girl string on finger
I always stray from my NYE resolutions by week two. Do you have any tips for making my promises last this year?
Whether you vowed to get healthier, happier or simply shake up your style, it's time to pony up on all your promises. Here's how to be a woman of your word in 2012.
Keep it real. You know what sorts of goals are realistic for you. Just because it's 2012, that doesn't mean you've suddenly morphed into Wonder Woman. Take stock of where you are, and don't be afraid to adjust your resolution to make it seem more doable. If it's too ambitious from the get go, you'll never even start. It's better to take a tiny step in the right direction instead of none at all!
Get others in on the plan. There is power in numbers, young grasshopper. If you can get your friends or your office mates in on your resolution, the group support will help encourage you to achieve your goals. Not to mention, a watchful eye will also keep you from straying. You can make excuses to yourself when you sneak that extra piece of cake, but it's a whole lot harder to get away with it when you have to deal with the raised eyebrow from your roommate.
Track your progress. Keep a calendar and mark off each day that you manage to keep your resolution. When you can visually see how far you've come, you'll be encouraged to keep going.
Reward yourself. This has to be our favorite strategy of them all. Set goals on your aforementioned calendar and treat yourself to little presents when you achieve them. Start small with something like an extra long bubble bath and work your way up to that killer pair of shoes you've been lusting over. After all, you deserve it!
