Oh Girl, No - Leighton Meester

Poor Gossip Girl Leighton - someone must have binged and gotten drunk on all the colors there is of paint and barfed on her.

Oh Girl, No - Tyra Banks

Oh Girl, No - Madonna

Oh Girl, No - Beyonce

Oh Girl, No - Heidi Klum

Oh Dude, No - Pete Wentz

Let's welcome our first male celebrity who made it onto this column. I had to change the name to Oh DUDE, No, so this one is special. Ashlee Simpson's baby daddy and Fall Out Boys' Pete Wentz wore dead animals on his feet while he grabbed a drink. I don't understand why ANYONE, let alone a DUDE, would wear these boots unless if they were trying to blend in with bears. Although Pete is not one want to blend in with anyone, given his perculiar fashion sense. 

Oh Girl, No - Shenae Grimes

Shenae Grimes of 90210 forgot her pants at home while she ran errands the other day. But nooo - she was not embarrassed by the least, judging by her smile to the paparazzi. Plaid button down with crazy graphic tights - ah, to be young and reckless - I just REALLY, REALLY hope didn't forget her underwear as well...

Oh Girl, No - Jessica Alba

Oh Girl, No - Beyonce

Beyonce made it back on Oh Girl, No way too soon! What's gotten into her since B became Mrs.  Jay-Z? Maybe it's only a misconception that rappers are into boobies and booties hanging out all over the place (refer to any rap video), because it sure ain't the case when it comes to their women. Beyonce is covered neck to toe in black, trying her best to pose to show off those curves. Unfortunately, even curves like hers can't carry off a witch costume like this one, I suggest adding a pointy hat and save it for Halloween next year, B.

Oh Girl, No - Blake Lively

You'd think with a body like that Blake Lively could look good in a potato sack. Not true, apparently. Why is she covering her legs! Why!? The mile long skirt covered her best asset - her perfect mile long legs! I guess she still spared her perfect boobs - still wasn't enough to save her outfit though!

Oh Girl, No - Beyonce KnowlesWhydo

Oh Girl, No - Gwyneth PaltrowWho

Oh Girl, No - Mel B.

Did Mel B. wake up and think, 'I feel like dressing up as an alien' today? Making bold fashion statements is one thing, but this is just making a fool out of yourself. THe raised collar (is it hanging on her hair?), the multiple buns sitting on her head that looks like a pile of poo, and the major cleavage...what was she thinking?! At least she can recycle this for Halloween - as an alien slut.

Oh Girl, No - Aubrey O'Day

Danity's Kane's Aubrey O' Day has a second appearance at Oh Girl, No with this hideous dress and her doggy as an accessory. The diagonal sash across the shoulder reminds me of the ones that a "Ms. __(Enter State or Country Here)__" in a pageant would wear, and the four layers of puffy chiffon is only ok if you're under the age of 10 - on Halloween. 

Oh Girl, No - Courtney Love

Courtey Love's body has gone through dramatic changes for the past year - to being too thin. Speculations are that she didn't do it through Oprah's diet, but she simply went under the knife. What's not under speculation is that her fashion sense has stayed the same - a hot mess. She wore a zipped up corset with a bikini bottom to the beach, along with a messenger bag and what? Is that a cast on her foot? In water?

Oh Girl, No - Janet Jackson

Oh Girl, No - Christina Aguilera

Oh Girl, No - Katy Perry

Oh Girl, No - Pink

This is Pink at the MTV Music Awards that was held over the weekend. I'll blame her recent divorce, but this is the definitely 'trying too hard.' Her platinum blonde hair and toned body couldn't even steal the limelight from her hideous dress - which reminded me more of a circus tent than a gown, or worse, curtains gone wrong.

Good Investment

You can't really see them in this picture, I rarely buy shoes that are over $200, but these Frye boots are probably the best investment ever! 

Rainy in Shorts

I didn't know it was raining until I got out of work today. Paired my new blazer with my new shoes.

Current/Elliott is a Current Obsession

Not that we need antoher over-priced denim line, butthe new denim label Current/Elliott only debuted in July but has already caught on the trend wave, being spotted on celebrities like Kate Beckinsale, Rachel Bilson, and Sarah Jessica Parker. Designers for the brand, Emily Current and Meritt Elliott were stylists before they turned designers, and there were waiting lists before they even came out in stores. The jeans all retail for $200+; I never know how people know about these things before they have a chance to even see them in person, but it gets pretty crazy when it comes to women and their 'must-haves'. My favorite right now would prob be the pair of destroyed skinny jeans, but the brand created the most buzz is their boyfriend jean, made popular prob by Katie Holmes who has been sporting the rolled up, wide legged style all around recently. I'm questionable about this trend because it's a style that not everyone can pull off and look good in...like how the skinny jean trend does not make everyone look skinnier...! Please try trend accordingly.

Charlotte Ronson Goes Cheap

Charlotte Ronson, aka Lindsay Lohan's lesbian lover Samantha Ronson's designer sister, has joined forces with J.C. Penney to create a trendy sports-line collection, "I Heart Charlotte Ronson," which will hit 600 of their stores in spring. 

I DO heart Charlotte Ronson! Her collection is usually only in limited boutiques, and Urban Outfitters has recently started carrying a line by her, but the price point is definitely higher than what J.C. Penney will offer. It's pretty exciting but sometimes designer collections that are offered through affordable chains downgrade and are not made as cute, so we'll have to see about this one.

Lindsay Lohan, Fashion Entrapreneur

Party goer, trouble maker, alcoholic, drug addict, serial dater, actress-turned-lesbo Lindsay Lohan is launching a brand development firm named Stay Gold, LLC. Her leggings label 6126 is reportedly doing well (who buys leggings for up to $160?!), and the next step is to collaborate with this Beverly Hills-based company in developing products under her 6126 label. The prices for these stuff are pretty ridiculous in my opinion, but if she can, strut your stuff, look pretty for the paparazzi, and milk the money girl! cause your acting career doesn't seem to be going anywhere. 

Maria Sharapova is a Style Consultant

Luxury brand Cole Haan announced that it will be collaborating with long legged tennis pro Maria Sharapova for its Cole Haan Sporting line that is set to be in stores in February 2009. The brand will use Ms. Sharapova as the spokes-model for the line as well as a fashion consultant. What this entails I have no idea, but it doesn't sound like hard work. I wish these people would just stick to what they're famous for and stop finding other ways to make money already. 

Mischa Barton and Her Hair Accessories

The O.C. alum Mischa Barton is collaborating with accessories designer Stacey Lapidus for a line of headbands that include silk, feathers, crystals, and pearls, ranging from $40 - $200. I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news, considering that she has a very unique style that either makes her stand out either beautifully or horrifically. Her handbag collection which sold on ASOS.com wasn't too bad, and this is another attempt to move into the fashion realm. At least she's working on something, seeing as how the girl hasn't been getting much acting work since Marissa Cooper died.

Juicy Fruition

“Once upon a time in a land called Pacoima, there were two nice girls who liked stuff, Juicy Couture swept the land, and they lived happily ever after,” read the walls of the very pink and purple walls of Juicy Couture dressing rooms. What this ‘story’ leaves out is HOW this wildly successful, flamboyant, cute, and sometimes annoying brand swept women from the age of 13-45 off their feet.

Pamela was a Hollywood costume designer and married to writer/director/producer Jefery Levi, who’s responsible for CSI, and Gela was an actress in soap operas and married to Duran Duran’s bassist John Taylor. (Does this sound like the ‘rags’ part?) They tried their luck at a maternity line which led to nothing, then decided to launch a casual luxury line for ‘girls who like stuff’ – starting with the infamous terry and velour tracksuits. A friend who is now the head of Juicy’s PR sent Madonna a pair that had ‘Madge’ printed on it and took the brand to new heights when she wore the outfit in public.

So who would pay up to $350 for a pair of matching sweats that sometimes remind you of bath towels? Apparently a lot of people! And surely having ‘Juicy’ printed across girls’ asses (that is only limited edition and won’t be produced again, FYI) and having provocative slogans such as ‘Go Couture Yourself’ and ‘Eat my Couture’ has not stopped the brand’s rise to fame, if not helped it. Since Liz Claiborne acquired the brand give years ago, sales have continued to escalate, and it’s brought in $288 million in the first six months of this year. Juicy madness has taken over and it could achieve what Polo Ralph Lauren achieved in 40 years – becoming a 2 billion company. Envious!

The Juicy world has expanded into maternity, kids, pets, sleepwear, bags, jewelry, stationery, and did you know there’s a Juicy Men’s? (No worries, it’s not all pink and purple or only for gay guys).

And I’m a hypocrite, because I always said I wouldn’t be caught dead in Juicy’s sweat suits, I am seriously considering getting a pair of velour pants. They are pretty damn comfortable. Really!

Christian Louboutin, Shoe Choice of the Goddesses

For a while handbags were continuously represented as a status symbol for women. Women saved and broke their bank accounts for designer handbags. When this Paris-originated shoe brand started appearing on the rich and famous, shoes joined the ranks for break-your-bank-account-worthy items as well. Quality and exclusiveness aside, women find different reasons to spend bucks on them. Christian Louboutin has turned shoe designs into a form art. Maybe it’s the sky-high stilettos that magically elongate the legs, or maybe it’s the devilish signature red soles that make them irresistible. Whatever it is, Louboutins provide a sense of confidence for women and - shall I say it again? - Transform them into goddesses.

Oh Girl, No - Rhianna

Ms. Ella, Ella, Ay, Ay, Ay, Rhianna has never been one to stray from making statements in the fashion arena, but the mixed prints ill proportioned top and knee high gladiators is a bad statement to make! You might be Rhianna, but you ain't no Xena!
