Gotta get me some sunglasses
cropped jackets
The cropped jacket help you obtain a look that that is cute and is absolutely effortless. Since the jackets are very comfy and sexy you can pair it with anything from jeans, skirts and more and it instantly dresses you up. Design History  Cropped sweater jacket comes in black and brown and is a great price at $54. This jacket has cute fake pockets with a three button closure and would look great with jeans for a casual night out or on the weekend. Behnaz Sarafpour Cropped Tuxedo Jacket - Ebony $22.49  Arden B Tweed Flare Sleeve Jacket - on Sale $79.00  I particularly like this tweed jacket and expecially the two large buttons and collar. Rachel Bilson was seen recently wearing a jacket very similar to this. Juicy Couture Cropped Peacoat $275.00  This has the best of both a cropped jacket and a trench all rolled up into a neat little package. xoxo, girls handbook Labels: Fashion, Trends
You do not have to be Goth or Lindsay Lohan to wear black nail polish. If you are looking to experiment but do not want to spend too much then here are a few options. OPI Black Onyx Nail Lacquer $8.50  NYX Nails Nail Polish, Black 27 $2.99  MAC Nail Laquer in Nightfall $10  I like this one the best overall because of the nice black frost.

If you are totally into this look and are ready for the Queen of all black nail polishes then go to your closest Chanel counter and ask to buy the tester!  xoxo, girls handbook Labels: Makeup

Buckles are not just for your waist. Top design houses like Fendi and Michael Kors has been incorporating the buckle into their bags, shoes, watches and now sunglasses.

Golden Globes 2007
I love to watch the Golden Globes to see what all the celebrities are wearing. It seems that many stars were wearing white while a few wore metallic dresses. Sienna Miller  Wearing a Marchesa gown which was very pretty but I was not a huge fan of the hair. The back of Sienna's hair was messy in a bad way.... Hayden Panettiere  Wore a lovely Monique Lhuillier dress and I especially love the sash around the dress which breaks up the white and gives it a fun and funky edge. Her purse is very unique - you open up the jeweled part and it is a mirror which is perfect if you need to check your lipstick. Emily Blunt  She is wearing a vintage gown and also won a Golden Globe. Cameron Diaz  Many people did not like this dress and I have to admit I am not sure how I feel. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt  They totally looked like old Hollywood glamor. In one of their interviews she seemed extremely quiet and not interested in being interviewed. Penelope Cruz  This Chanel dress was made for her by Karl which was so nice of him. This dress looked really great on her. Jennifer Lopez  The back of this dress was strappy and just lovely. The dress was very pretty and she really worked it. Drew Barrymore  John Galliano for Christian Dior - I love this grecian inspired dress. Her makeup and glow was just great. Some of my other favorites where Kate Winslet in a Azzaro column dress with Chopard jewels, Heidi Klum and Salma Hayek both in white dresses. I also totally loved Reese's hair it was simply amazing. xoxo, girls handbook Labels: Dresses, Evening
American Apparel
Lately I have been getting some fab clothes from American Apparel. They have clothes for men, women, kids for a great price and quality. RSA8323 Cotton Spandex Jersey Tube Dress $32  This great little number comes in five different colors and would look spectacular with a black belt. RSA7305 Interlock Wrap Dress for $44  Wrap Dresses can be worn by most women and are very flattering on. This comes in six different colors. I love this dress so much that I had to get two. RSAS304 Sheer Rib Long Sleeve Scoop Neck $32  When I saw this scoop neck top it reminded me of this picture.  This top would be great to use to obtain this look and I especially love the Chanel necklace. Everything is available at American Apparel xoxo, girls handbook Labels: Dresses, Trends
Cameron and Justin
It has been almost four years and Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake are over. Here is their press release breakup. "It has always been our preference not to comment on the status of our relationship, but, out of respect for the time we've spent together, we feel compelled to do so now, in light of recent speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that are being reported by the media," the pair said. "We have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship, and have done so mutually and as friends, with continued love and respect for one another."  I just love this Chanel dress and how she paired it with nude pumps. So who do you think Cameron should be with? xoxo, girls handbook
Mr. Blackwell's 47th annual "Worst Dressed" Celebrities
Well it is official Mr. Blackwell has published his “Worst Dressed” list and all I have to say is I disagree with most of his choices and have to question some of his “fabulous fashion independents”. “Worst Dressed” list 1. Britney Spears/Paris Hilton … Britney did look bad this year but I blame her ex. Paris usually has something very expensive but nice on. 2. Camilla Parker-Bowles … The woman wears a lot of hats but hey give her a break 3. Lindsay Lohan … Lindsay has a great sense of fashion and has worn some fab clothes in 2006. 4. Christina Aguilera … Christina has been rocking the whole Marilyn Monroe vibe I guess Mr. Blackwell is not a fan 5. Mariah Carey… Ehh I am not too impressed with her clothes but she is in great shape 6. Paula Abdul …. Sorry Paula it is true and you need a new stylist. 7. Sharon Stone… Honestly I have no clue what she has been wearing… does anyone? 8. Tori Spelling … Sometimes she wears cute stuff but is it that bad? 9. Sandra Oh …. Ok she wore a little too many accessories with one of her dresses but her hair looked great. 10. Meryl Streep… She was fantastic in the Devil Wears Prada and she is a fantastic actress! 10 "fabulous fashion independents" Kate Winslet … Loved what she wore in InStyle magazine December 2006 Angelina Jolie … Angelina and Jennifer Anniston wear way too much black. Helen Mirren …. I have no idea who this is. Barbra Streisand …. She has a great voice but I do not remember anything she wore in 2006 that was fantastic. Beyonce…. She looked fantastic in 2006! California Rep. Nancy Pelosi… I have never seen this woman not wear a suit. Princess Charlotte of Monaco…. Heidi Klum … Heidi looked fab in every Project Runway show! Katie Holmes … Besides the fact that she is married to the Cruise she has definitely stepped up with her fashion. Marcia Cross … She is bacially always dressed in a simple but elegant manner like her character Bree. xoxo, girls handbook

Rachel Pally Short Caftan Dress in Blue $229  This dress also comes in black and is so comfortable since it is made out of jersey material that you will want it in both colors. Rachel Pally Print Pocket Dress $211  I absolutely adore dresses that have pockets!

Karoo by Mark Eisen Banded Turtleneck $352  This cashmere sweater dress is so lovely and comfy that you will never want to take it off. Francesco Biasia Small Object of Desire Sale Price: $278.40  This bag is made of super soft leather and is actually a shoulder bag which is a plus for most women. Kooba Penelope Bag in Black $295  My favorite part about this patent leather clutch is the very awesome turnlock closure and detachable chain. You can also get this clutch in white. Dolce Vita Wedge Boot $286  I love this knee high boots and especially the platform heel that gives me a little needed height but will not totally kill my feet since they are platforms.

Yes or No for spring…
Spring is on it's way and designers have their totes out for everyone to purchase. D&G Dolce & Gabbanna Beach Bag for $230  This is the new beach bag from D&G which is water-resistant and perfect to take to the beach. What do you think about it…. I personally look at it and crave lifesavers. Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Canvas Tote $268  This canvas with leather trim bag is also a bit on the eclectic side and is truly only for the ones who will really love it. xoxo, girls handbook Labels: Bags
Marc Jacobs
I have always been fascinated by Marc Jacobs. He is truly a talented and well respected fashion designer. His bags are often worn by celebrities and bagaholics around the world.  Marc Jacobs Bal Harbour Satchel $1,275.00. I love the eggshell soft leather and especially how you can detach the gold chain if you are not feeling it. It has the famous signature buckle on the front and love the ruched leather which gives it a totally new look. So far I have seen this bag in eggshell, moccasin and khaki.  Marc by Marc Jacobs Multi-Pocket Bag $358 I still have a soft spot for the multi-pocket bag. I love how you can stick everything in all those little pockets and everything can have its place, I feel this is good for the part of my brain that likes to pretend it has a Type A personality.  Marc Jacobs Striping Trish $1,350.00. This round barrel bag also has shiny leather stripes that come in either dark brown or black and the leather has been treated to look cracked. I personally like how the shoulder strap is removable so it will not get in the way when you just want to carry the bag on your wrist.  Marc Jacobs Striping Hudson $1,350.00. You can get this bag in either Chestnut or Black. I love the two top zipped pockets that can help you organize all of your stuff. The cracked leather with shiny leather stripes totally makes this bag into one hot commodity. To find these bags and more shop at these fine stores Neiman Marcus eLUXURY Net-A-Porter xoxo, girls handbook Labels: Bags

I have to admit that this post really started with this clutch. I really love how it looks like you are carrying a little envelope.
