We are always worried about what we are wearing, what is in fashion for us, but what about our furry little friends? If a dog really is man’s best friend, shouldn’t they get to dress in style too?

Okay, some people think dressing up dogs is a little strange, some find it pointless, but I think it’s pretty cute. There are some terrific retailers out there offering some adorable and super stylish doggie fashions, so if you are like me and would like to get your hands on some of these, here are a few places you will want to check out.

Glamour Dog

A Canadian-based company, Glamour Dog is a company well worth checking out if you are looking for sweaters, coats, shirts, even dresses and Halloween costumes for your dog.

They ensure that each and every one of their dog outfits is not only fashionable but functional as well, and the specially tailored clothing lines featured on their sites are designed specifically with your dog in mind.

Your dog will not only look super cute but be comfortable, which is very important and also keep them from getting disturbed with you for dressing them up like Batman.

The Little Windup Pup

Another retailer you will want to check out is The Little Windup Pup. They not only feature a vast selection of clothing for your dog but as well dog beds, dog bowls, dog carriers, dog collars, dog pajamas, dog tees, and even jewelry for your dog.

Their mission is to bring customers the most unique and ever-evolving collection of designer dog apparel and accessories, and their staff is committed to providing customers with the best service possible so if you have any questions or need help shopping online they will be more than willing and able to help you out.

They even have a collection of unique items for your dog which are a lot of fun, such as the poochie polish and pink dog visor.

At The Dog Shoppe

If you are looking for a more high-end store for dressing your dog, there is At The Dog Shoppe.

Their online boutique is vast and easy to navigate through. It offers the best in dog tees, dog polos, dog fleeces, dog coats and much more.

They have a ton of adorable and modern t-shirts and mom and dog matching outfits which are really sweet. Their prices a bit more expensive than some of the smaller retailers but well worth it for the quality you receive.

Whether you are a fan of doggie fashions or not you have to admit that some of these products are pretty darn cute, and if you have pets they are worth at least checking out.

We have all been there - we head to the salon thinking we know exactly what we want and looking forward to leaving looking like a star, until…

It has probably happened at least once to you. On your way out of the salon you are wishing to yourself that you could just invent that time machine and go back a couple hours, maybe rethink your decision.

To avoid this from happening again, there are a few tips that I would like to offer to help you choose the right hairstylist, one that you can trust and feel safe with, so you no longer have to clench your nails into the side of the chair when you see them reaching for the scissors.

Look Around

One of the first and most important steps is going to involve you taking a bit of time to look around and see what is out there. Finding a good hairstylist is going to take some searching, but it will be more than worth it in the end.

You may even want to make a list of all the available hairstylists in your immediate area, and make sure that you stick pretty close to home because after all, you are not going to want to have to travel for hours every time you need to get your hair done.

Once you have made your list, you should start narrowing the selection down by crossing any off that are too cheap or too expensive. Sure there may be some fantastic hairstylists in both categories but trust me, you can find affordable hairstylists that are very reputable and very good at what they do.

Go For the One With the Good Reputation

You are going to want to do some background research on the stylists left on your list. Check to see how long they have been in the business, how much total experience they have, how many salons they have worked in, and find out what their clients have to say to them.

Any reputable, qualified hairstylist will be more than willing to offer you a few names on their list of clientele, and you may even know someone who already goes to them which would be fantastic because then you could get a firsthand opinion on the stylist and on what they have to offer that keeps their clients coming back.

Check the Salon

One of the most crucial things to do is check the salon the stylist works in. It may be anything from a fancy upscale salon or a basement in their home, but either way it is important for you to have a look at their work area and how well they take care of it.

While you are there, check out the products and tools they use and sell, and if you can, pick a stylist who specializes in your type of hair because they will offer specific products and tools that are going to work best with your hair type and leave you with the best results each and every time.

The best salons are those that are kept very neat and tidy, because they will want to make sure they are giving a good impression and want to make their clients feel welcome.

Okay, so a few hairs here and there doesn’t mean you should kick them to the curb, but there is a standard that you should have in terms of cleanliness and ensuring this is a salon you are going to look forward to coming back to time and time again.

Make a Consultation Appointment

Once you have dropped your list down to a few respectable names, it is going to be time for you to get up close and personal.

Consultation appointments are going to be incredibly helpful, and will allow you to speak one-on-one with the different stylists, see what they have to offer, what their opinion on your hair is and what they would advise to do with it, and what they expect you to pay for them styling your hair.

If you are a risk taker you may even want to ask them to give you a haircut right then and there, so you can see what their style is, what they have to offer and whether you would be interested in returning to them in the future.

The best hairstylist is going to be one that understands and meets your needs, someone who transforms your hair as you want it but only if they know it is going to look good, and who is going to listen to what you like and dislike about your hair and always make sure you are happy before you leave the salon.

Choosing a hairstylist is a very important and often lengthy process, but this is someone you will be able to rely on for all hair dilemmas and dos for the rest of your life, so you will be more than glad that you did it.

There must be something in the LA water, because it seems as though one female celeb after another is coming forth and announcing the big news of their preganncy.

Oh well, pregnancy is a wonderful thing and one thing that is lots of fun with any pregancy is maternity clothes shopping. These days there are so many fun and funky maternity styles available, a far cry from the limited wardrobe selection that our mothers had.

Let’s take a look at how some of the most famous women in Hollywood are staying in style during their nine months of pre-motherhood.

Jessica Alba

You knew that she was going to be on the list, and I decided to put her right at the top. Not only is Jessica Alba one of the most stunning women you will ever set your eyes on, but she seems to have a pretty decent head on her shoulders as well.

She is sexy yet sophisticated, and has definitely carried that style over into her pregnancy.

Of course she dressed up for this pic to hit the red carpet, but even on the day to day through her pregnancy Jess has managed to stay in style, choosing high-end maternity fashions that suit her sexy-chic persona.

Halle Berry

If anyone knows how to show off an oversized chest from pregnancy and do it classy, it is Halle Berry. She was already drop dead gorgeous to begin with, but pregnancy has definitely treated her well.

Halle is literally glowing, and her months of maternity have only added to her voluptuous curves, in all the right ways.

Halle has dressed often in bright colors throughout her pregnancy, but always in hues that flatter her skin tone and hair. This jewel-toned royal blue color for instance does wonders for her.

Jamie-Lynn Spears

You really can’t be mean to a woman when she’s pregnant can you, kinda like don’t hit a man with glasses?

Well, Jamie-Lynn is adorable, but I have to say her maternity style is pretty boring…Then again, she is just a teenager so I’m sure fashion is the last thing on her mind right now.

Jamie-Lynn has a very casual, almost preppy fashion sense, and so although she is somewhat trendy and definitely covers up more than her sis Brit did during her two pregnancies, she could definitely use a little spicing up.

Minnie Driver

Here is a real sweetheart mama to be. Although Minnie Driver continues to keep quiet on the father of her baby, it is obvious that she is in fact pregnant.

She has always had a casual, sort of bohemian-chic style, and I think she almost always looks great. Here she is dressed sweetly in a simple black dress and violet cardigan, with stunning slingback peep-toe pumps.

We may not know who the baby daddy is, but one thing we do know for sure - Minnie Driver is a beautiful, stylish Hollywood mama to be.

There are sure to be more mamas to be added on to this list in the near future, because if it’s not something in the water, then it is sure some sort of Hollywood fad.

Who do you think is the most stylish pregnant celeb in Hollywood today?

Does anyone else notice that Paris Hilton’s style seems to change as often as she changes boyfriends?

Now that she has been with boyfriend Benji Madden for a few months, she seems to have taken on his wardrobe as well.

The inseparable couple are almost hard to tell apart, both in dark ensembles of hoodies and tees, with sneaks to match.

Although it is cute and sort of sweet in a way…it seems that Paris changes her wardrobe every time there is a new love in her life.

At least these days she is covering herself up a bit - sorry A LOT - more, and they sort of remind me of a young teenage couple in puppy love, what with the holding hands, shades and all.

Gwyneth Paltrow has done it again. We didn’t see her out for a while, no doubt she has been busy, but over the past few months she has started taking her claim to fame once back and it is nice to see her pretty face again.

Recently she was spotted at an Iron Man promotion dressed in a black Preen mini-dress and sky-high McQueen heels.

She definitely looked picture perfect, her luminous blonde hair and sparkling eyes, and those mile high legs … bonjour!

Gwyneth has been appearing at one event after another, looking fit and absolutely stellar each and every time. I’m so glad to see the Gwyn out there again. She’s not only beautiful but she’s real, and that’s something we can all look up to.

I love checking out celebrity styles, watching to see what they are going to wear to one event or another.

There are definitely some hot and not so hot ensembles displayed over the past couple of months, and here are a few of my favorite hot or not styles.

Carrie Underwood

I cannot say enough about this look. Singer Carrie Underwood showed up at the 2008 CMT Music Awards looking like a true star.

In an eye-catching cobalt-blue Badgley Mischka mini-dress and gorgeous silver strappy Rene Caovilla sandals, she is absolutely stunning.

It was very smart of her to keep her accessories minimal, as this draws all the attention to this super sexy and elegant dress.

The vibrant color is dynamite with her blonde hair and plays up her best features.

I am not always impressed with Miss Underwood’s fashion sense but this outfit I definitely give the thumbs up to.

Mary-Kate Olsen

This was definitely one of the biggest style nots in the past week that I have seen.

I constantly hear of people talking about how the Olsen twins have fabulous style and creativity, but while Ashley at least looks half decent most of the time, Mary-Kate always seems to manage to look like a hobo.

This outfit is no different, and although the floor-length vintage Missoni dress could look great on someone else, it makes Mary-Kate look huge and uncoordinated because it floods over her tiny frame.

Oh, and I didn’t even make it to the Marc Jacobs headband yet. Please Mary-Kate, just take off this disastrous outfit!

Heidi Klum

Now here is one girl who always has style. Heidi Klum always has it going on, and she looked beautiful and glowing in a purple mini-dress designed by Project Runway finalist Rami Kashou.

Recently Heidi was declared as US Magazine’s Style Icon of the Year, and it is really no wonder why.

She is definitely a winner in this figure flattering strapless dress, but then again, could anything not be figure flattering on Heidi?

The beautiful plum color is very summery and fresh, and contrasts against her ash blonde hair.

Heidi Klum is a beautiful woman and always knows how to play up her best features, as she has done here.

Gwyneth Paltrow

The ’80s style is definitely back and is … Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive?

Anyways, Gwyneth Paltrow, although we rarely see her out on the red carpet anymore, certainly knows how to wow us when she does appear.

Glowing in a vintage Christian Dior gown in hot pink, Gwyneth was positively stunning, pairing a cute black clutch with her black sash belt.

The outfit is a little too matchy-matchy for my liking and I think she could have kept the belt and bag black and added a little something special in the shoes, but regardless she was striking.

All she needs now is her other accessory Chris Martin and she’s good to go.

Molly Sims

Simple definitely can be sexy, as the beautiful Molly Sims shows us in her sunny Calvin Klein sheath.

The dress, which is available from the designer’s Fall 2008 Collection, looks fabulous with Molly’s golden complexion and dirty blonde hair.

She kept the accessories very minimal, wearing only a small black clutch, black nylons and mules and small hoop earrings.

Not many stars would be able to pull this look off and it would probably just come off as boring, but with Molly’s gorgeous face and body it is definitely a winner on her.

Okay so we already have news of clothing lines from Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port of The Hills, and now Heidi Montag is launching her own line, Heidiwood.

Not such a creative title, since we already have so many copies of the Hollywood name and this little Heidiwood thing reminds me of a lame spinoff of the lovely Dolly Parton’s Dollywood … but moving on.

Heidi debuted her new fashion range last week in Hollywood, looking cute in giant black stilettos and a skimpy zebra print halter top.

Her style is decent but I certainly do not think that sales will skyrocket for this clothing line she has just released.

Oh, did I mention that her boyfriend Spencer Pratt proposed to her on stage, giving her two dozen long-stemmed pink roses before kissing her on the lips?

So her clothing line may be a little stripper-esque and her claim to fame came from an … ahem … reality TV show, at least she and good ole Spence are happy.

When most of us think of riding on an escalator we think of hurrying through the airport in sneakers and sweats or shopping at the mall in jeans and a t-shirt.

Dita Von Teese has now shown us how to really ride an escalator and look great doing it.

In a gray swing coat and gorgeous Christian Louboutin mary janes, Dita looked every bit the ’40s pinup beauty.

I have always admired this dark haired beauty for her classic style of authentic retro mixed with punches of modernity.

She is truly the leading woman behind a renaissance of vintage glamour, a look that no one can pull off better than her.

This escalator pic reminds us of just how impossibly gorgeous this lady really is, but then again we all know that Dita Von Teese could be working in a dump and still look picture perfect, so let’s not be too hard on ourselves.

I am not one for the super skinny waif-like models of today, I’m really not.

I’ve always thought women were most beautiful with at least a little bit of meat on their bones, which is becoming harder and harder to find these days.

However, the woman who actually started the waif trend I have a great admiration for, and that is Kate Moss.

I’m pretty sure I heard a gasp there from some readers.

Of all the models out there, whether you like her or not, Kate Moss is one that stands out from the crowd, and she is one that has definitely left an impression on me.

Okay so she doesn’t have the best reputation, especially after the incident a few years back that involved some, shall we say, not so desirable photographs.

She has been the target of much media controversy, and the British tabloids and paparazzi in particular often target Moss.

She has always been a true fashionista, a style visionary who has started some of the hottest trends.

Ugg boots, Marc Jacobs ankle boots, Alexander McQueen’s skull scarf, skinny jeans - Kate popularized them all, and she has even brought some old styles back into popularity, including high-waisted pants and waist-cinching belts.

She is known famously for her many advertising campaigns for the likes of Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Rimmel, and also for her high-profile relationships and party lifesyle.

Still, regardless of the abundant negative press she has received, no one can deny that Kate Moss is a true style icon. Anything she wears instantly becomes fashionable, whether she is trying or not. She is the perfect combination of innocence and sex kitten - a sassy, confident woman with a style all her own.

As reported on our very own The IT Fashion just a few days ago, Kate Moss recently topped the list as Glamour magazine’s best dressed woman, and this is not the first fashion list on which she has topped the charts.

She is a true iconic English fashion model, and she even has her own successful clothing line which shows that although the press may prefer to portray her in a not so positive light, she is more than just gorgeous, she is an intelligent, creative, decisive young woman.

One of the most idolizing things about Kate Moss is that she wears what she likes, what she wants to. She is a fashion trendsetter and never a follower, one that is always willing to break the fashion rules.

Kate Moss is a true supermodel. She has rocked the runway, posed on the covers of numerous fashion magazines, and proved herself time and time again as being a true style icon.

Some people idolize Victoria Beckham’s style while others go into a frenzy when they see that she continues to make one “Best Dressed” list after another.

Either way it is safe to say that she is not going to have much success with her clothing line, as it was dumped soon after it was released.

Kitson and Fred Segal have dumped Beckham’s line after poor sales. There was also a serious lack of promotional work, as Victoria even refused to do in-store promotions to advertise her line, which definitely did not help things any.

As reported on Holly Scoop, Fraser Ross, owner of Kitson, says that:

We asked her PR people so many times for her to appear but she didn’t. Celebrity lines are no different from an album or music tour. They have to be promoted to sell.

To some people this news is sad, while others are thrilled. Apart from her time with the Spice Girls, I think Victoria Beckham’s style is quite stylish and pretty, and she looks darn good after having two kids.

With her lack of promotional work however, whether it be due to laziness or ignorance, it is only expected that her entrepreneurial efforts here would fail.
