The Michael Jackson-esque military jacket has been seen all over, so while spring is still here, get yours and rock it now if you like to be trendy. Because come this fall and next spring, every designer and retailer may offer their own version and the trend could officially be played out.

Beyonce wore an $11,000 version by Balmain on a dinner date in NYC with her hubby, Jay-Z last week.


Then, Rihanna wore her Balmain in a day-timey ensemble a couple of days afterwards.


You can always opt to wear a more traditional (and affordable) version of the cadet-style jacet like supermodel, Enkiko Mihalik.


Of course, fashionisto Kanye West has one too.


The matchy-matchy group, Coldplay donned theirs at the Grammy awards in an array of colors. I think 1-2 of the members wearing the jacket would've sufficed though...IMHO.

The weather is breaking and many in warmer climates *in Chicago cutting my eyes at you* are abandoning denim jeans for their spring dresses. However, some didn't disappoint:

Ciara looked super-cute from the ankle up dining at Da Silvana in NYC this weekend. I'm not really a fan of those over-embellished Louboutins...particularly with this outfit.


Vanessa Hudgens looked really cute sitting with boyfriend Zac Efron at the Lakers game yesterday. I still have a hunch that they are a staged couple, but they looked cute anyway.


Brandy, looking much more polished than usual (new wig perhaps? or maybe its her garanimal boots and bag) got a new job on a new television show so I guess she's feeling pretty good about herself these days. *psst* Hey Brandy, you don't have to be so matchy-matchy anymore...


Lauren Conrad, a fashion do with her well-fitted skinny jeans was spotted at the airport with her unknown friend, a fashion don't with her rolled-up not quite boyfriend jean. It looks more like the my-jeans-are-too-long-and-I-either-didn't-have-or-didn't-want-to-wear-a-pair-of-cute-fitting-jean jeans. If you're going to hang out with Lauren, pick up some tips along the way girl!

Lingerie incorporated into ready to wear is the new fashion trend of 2009:

Lingerie as Outerwear: Women's Fashion Trend > Lingerie, Sleepwear & Underwear > Blog

...shoes apparently. Here is Kanye's new ad for his Louis Vuitton sneakers featuring his naked girl, Amber Rose. Almost missed the shoes...

Here are a couple more that actually aim to feature the product:




And then here's another with Kanye doing what he does best - feature himself. I'm not mad though, he looks damn good and that jacket is H-O-T! Heeeyyyy Kanye *wink*

Kudos to the artistic nature of these photos.

UPDATE: Apparently, these ads were NOT for Louis Vuitton...makes sense.

Sometimes a pair of jeans come around that are just AMAZING and I am sooo feeling this bleached and painted pair worn by Ashley Tisdale, although I'm not feeling her overall look at all. A good stylist would've really helped her do these jeans some justice. I have yet to see these so I'm not sure what designer created them and I'm pretty positive she didn't craft these on her own.

Now, I am in no way trying to make this a bridal site, but as many engaged women I know are currently shopping for bridal gowns, I thought I'd put in my 2 cents. Many of the new bridal gown trends feature fuller skirts, which are a great option for those more bottom-heavy women who want to be trendy yet feel they must choose from unforgiving and unflattering styles.

Pictured above: Amsale and Vera Wang...not really feeling all of those bows Vera...

This weekend gave us a variety of denim looks from the celebs:

Vanessa Simmons looked cute and casual rocking a slim cut rolled up jean reminiscent of the Boyfriend Jean while kicking it in Miami.


Brandy had a well um interesting look while dining at Katsuya in L.A.

This is a great jean for slender women and/or women who want to bring attention to their hips. If you have a tummy and/or larger hips that you want to minimize, don't go near these.

Rihanna is one of the first to break out her Bermuda shorts while on her way into the studio to start recording.


Keri Hilson was here doing a radio interview this weekend in Chicago...I actually saw the concert and she did pretty good. The label didn't allow her to have a stage set of her own, but she CAN sing. This pic has me wondering if she can dress though...


The winner???

IMAN! She is like the Eighth World Wonder! She is 53 years old and is still undeniably one of the hottest chicks out there AND is setting a good example for women everywhere: bootcuts are the universally flattering style for everybody type.
