Lauren Conrad has been making the news quite often lately, unfortunately much of it has not really been to her benefit.

One of the latest events LC was spotted at was Animal Fair magazine’s 9th annual “Paws for Style” fashion show on Tuesday in New York City.

There was an outrage over the fact that Lauren left early before walking with a dog down the red carpet as was planned.

After being paid reportedly $20,000 to make an appearance and walk the runway it is no wonder there was such an uproar, however it is now believed that it was nothing more than a mistake and that LC simply was not aware that she was supposed to walk the runway with the borrowed pooch and left before the event ended.

What can you expect but for Hills-like drama to carry over and follow LC everywhere she goes…luckily for us she did stay at the event long enough to pose for a few pictures on the red carpet.

Regardless of the drama that may have ensued, one thing we can say is that Lauren looked great.

Dressed very simply in a belted red dress from her own clothing line, she was very pretty and I mean really, how dressed up can you get for a designer doggy couture event?

One of the hottest trends this summer is the high waist. High waisted shorts in particular are quickly making a comeback, but if you are considering trying this look out for yourself you need to make sure that you go about it in just the right way.

High waisted shorts can quite easily go the entire other way and end up looking dorky and awkward as opposed to funky and fashionable.

The trick here is to make sure that you are showing off your legs, making them look as long and lovely as possible.

More than anything this refers to footwear. With high waisted shorts you need to be really careful with what you are dressing your feet in, as although anything from Ugg boots to stiletto high heels will work, it is all about the details.

Also make sure that your shirt is tucked in a little loosely, because too tight will leave you looking uncomfortable and really put a damper on the hot style you are trying to pull off.

If you want to try and get your own pair, check out American Apparel or Just Jeans for a good selection.

I think on the right body they can work, what do you think?

If you really want to be in style this summer, one of the biggest fashion statements you can make is by adding some vivid colors to your wardrobe.

Don’t be afraid of wearing shocking hues - as long as you use them in the right ensembles and wear them the right way, it will be fabulous.

One of the best guidelines you can stick to when it comes to donning bright colors is to wear them with dark denim.

If you want to wear a vibrant neon yellow or green shirt for instance, wear them with wide leg dark denim jeans or a cute dark denim skirt, to add balance to the ensemble.

One of the easiest ways to model your favorite bright colored fashions this season is to wear them in a dress.

You can do almost no wrong when wearing vibrant hues in a dress, just make sure that if there is a pattern it is appropriately proportioned to your body.

Also keep in mind that bright colors do not always have to be fluorescents and neons.

Take the beautiful jewel-toned apparel out there, such as this stunning dress by Zac Posen.

If you are interested in going with the trend of brightness but want to keep it subtle and classic, try this full-length dress from Calvin Klein.

Pair it with a chic pair of pumps and you will not only fit right in with the trend of saturated hues that is taking over the world today, but will look great doing it.

Layering is another fantastic trick to wearing brights, the best idea being to combine them with true classic neutral pieces.

It’s really all about contrast, so don’t worry too much about being all matchy-matchy, and look for colors that play off each other and draw the attention to you.

The great thing about bright colors is that they help you to stand out from the crowd, and you can dress them up or play them down, depending on the type of look that you are going for.

Regardless of what road you decide to take with your hot hues, remember to not be daunted by brighter pieces. Have fun with your clothing, play around with it, and find out what works for you.

Couture fashion is in its own world, where some of the most elaborate, exquisite, fabulous styles are created.

For the Fall season we have seen the runways packed full of super special ensembles, from renowned designers such as Christian Lacroix, Elie Saab, Chanel, and of course the designer synonymous with the word couture - Jean Paul Gaultier.

Christian Lacroix

There are some terrific names that strutted their stuff on the Fall 08 runway, but let’s start off this look at the hot new couture fashions with one of the top designers, Christian Lacroix.

Lacroix is an expected part of any couture runway and looked forward to by all. For the upcoming season Lacroix brought us bright colors, blacks, and everything in between.

Sent out for Fall were corseted, bejeweled jackets, leg-of-mutton sleeves, frothing tulle skirts, lace-veiled eyes, and jet-encrusted mohawks.

As always, Lacroix’s runway definitely brought a lot of excitement and enthusiasm, and everything about it was utterly unlikely and delightful.

Elie Saab

Another designer infamous in the fabulous world of couture is Elie Saab. Known for more feminine fashions, the runways of Saab are always entertaining and full of interest.

Elie Saab is definitely one of the go-to designers when it comes to haute couture, and the runway for Fall was full of off-the-shoulder swags, bunchy jutting bustiers, and fabric rosettes.

The look here was lovely and very ladylike, which definitely stood out in comparison to some of the much funkier looks on the runway.

Hair was swept in a romantic style while the eyes smoldered with a combination dark smokey eye and cat’s eye, and together this created a terrific balance.

Jean Paul Gaultier

Who could write a couture review without mentioning the effervescent Jean Paul Gaultier?

This time Gaultier presented excited onlookers with a leather framework of saddle epaulets and harnesses strapped over a fur coat that set things off, continuing on with the flamboyant equestrian look.

There were many other fantastic looks to check out as well however, and Gaultier, who is renowned for his interpretion of the trench and tux suit, brought us some delightful versions of these styles as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Fall 2008 couture fashion shows, the designs living up to everything I thought they would be, what about you?

This is truly a striking take on a classic shape - the Zoe handmade aluminum sandal.

These shoes riff on the classic wedge only there is much more of an architectural look here, with the area of the wedge being…well…non-existant.

There is really no better word to describe these shoes than unique, and they would definitely make a statement with any ensemble.

Architectural shoes are all the rage this season, with the Spring/Summer 08 runways full of heavy, architectural shoes.

If you are interested in snagging a pair of these ultra modern heels for yourself, you can do so through Zoe for a price of $3,940.

Personally I couldn’t condone paying this much money to get a pair of these shoes, regardless of how architecturally interesting they may be, but what do you think? Would you be willing spend nearly $4,000 to get a pair of shoes like these?

I’m sure all of you have noticed the huge gladiator trend that is flooding the fashion world these days, and more than anything we are seeing this look in footwear.

You can find everything from strappy gladiator sandals to knee-high gladiator boots, and although personally I am not a huge fan of the boots, I could definitely see some of the sandals working well with the right outfit.

There are some gladiator-styled shoes that are way out of the park in my opinion and which I simply could not see working well regardless of how fashionable the ensemble to go with it may be, but here are a few pairs that I think are very fashion forward.

So maybe I like to be subtle when it comes to the gladiator footwear, as you can see with this pair by the wonderful fashion designer extraordinaire, Michael Kors, but they are really fantastic nonetheless.

These black gladiator sandals are great for taking on the day, comfortable and stylish at the same time.

Featuring a burnished vachetta leather upper, thong toe with brasstone stud detailing, adjustable buckle at side, leather footbed with flat stud detailing and pebbled rubber sole, these hot sandals would work with almost any outfit for summer.

These gladiator sandals by Balenciaga are a bit more dramatic, but I could still picture them perfectly with a cute white sundress or even a casual denim skirt and blouse.

While the Michael Kors pair above are priced at $150, these are quite a bit more expensive at $695, but are definitely stylish and worth the money if you think you would get good wear out of them.

You can really spring forwad with these must-have leather sandals by Balenciaga, featuring a braided, strappy leather upper, rounded open toe, double buckle straps along the ankle, fringe detail at heel, and leather lining.

As long as you chose the right dress or shorts to pair with the gladiator sandals I think it could end up being very cute. What do you think?

One of the hottest new fashion trends out there today is the vest.

The new layering piece, the vest can be worn in a number of different ways, and there is such a wide selection of different colors, patterns and styles to choose from that they will never be boring.

The latest way to wear a vest is to mix it up. Try wearing it unbuttoned over a plain top and jeans or dress it up by wearing it with heels and a blouse with a ruffled front.

The only real rule when it comes to vests is making sure that the layer underneath is at least a bit longer than the vest, otherwise it will look tacky.

Another tip is to use long layered necklaces when you are wearing a vest, and keep the shirt underneath low cut in the neck so that you can emphasize your face and jewellery.

The lovely Kim Kardashian sure knows how to pull off the vest, wearing a sexy black one over a tight fitting white tank and dark fitted jeans. She keeps the jewellery minimal, with only a small gold wrist band and cute earrings and necklace.

Have fun with your look, and remember that you don’t have to stick with black and brown all the time. Reds, blues, and greys all look great on vests, so try a few styles out and see what works well for you.

Yves Saint Laurent, one of the greatest fashion designers of all time, the man who gave the women’s movement an important leg up by designing the pantsuit that helped them bring a more professional look to the workplace, has died at the age of 71.

One of the most influential and enduring designers of the 20th century, Saint Laurent died Sunday night at his home in Paris, when he lost his yearlong battle with brain cancer.

This is a true tragedy, especially to his family and close friends, and of course the millions of Saint Laurent fans around the world.

Saint Laurent gave women power with his creative designs, and there is and never has been a fashion designer in the world that is like him.

Born August 1, 1936 in Oran, Algeria, Saint Laurent quickly fell in love with theater and the arts when he was just a boy. He left for Paris at the young age of 17 and never looked back, destined for a career in fashion.

Most famously known for his sleek haute couture and ready to wear styles, the Saint Laruent name first became prominent in the fashion world when he succeeded Christian Dior after his sudden death in 1957.

He continued to produce timeless designs year after year and in 1983 he actually became the first living fashion designer to be honored by New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

As Saint Laurent himself once quoted, “Fashions fade but style is eternal”, and his life is one that will definitely not soon be forgotten.

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.
