As we eagerly await news (and pictures) of Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, we’re taking a look back at other first family ceremonies—from Tricia Nixon’s memorable White House nuptials to Jenna Bush’s down-home Texas celebration. (We tossed in a few of our Presidents’ weddings too.) Glamorous, stylish, and often involving a very prestigious guest list, these events are as close to a royal wedding as the U.S. comes.

Gossip Girl’s Signature Styles

Jul 27, 2010 @ 5:06 pm

Spotted: Gossip Girl‘s favorite fashionistas filming on New York’s Upper West Side. What struck us about the most recent batch of photos from the set was that each character has really stayed true to her trademark look for the past few seasons. For example: Blair Waldorf is looking as put together as ever in a chic belted shirtdress paired with Miu Miu platform heels and a to-die-for structured Celine handbag. And then there’s resident bohemian Vanessa, rocking on-trend tap shorts with a printed blouse that clashes in perfect harmony. Click through our gallery to see more of the cast’s latest styles.

In less than a decade, Rachel Zoe has gone from dressing young, up-and-coming pop stars like Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson to styling award-winning actresses like Jennifer Garner and Anne Hathaway.  Now a celebrity in her own right, Zoe’s added designer and reality TV star to her impressive resume.

Bethenny Frankel’s Beauty Secrets

Jul 27, 2010 @ 2:37 pm

As most of you already know, Bethenny Frankel—star of Bravo’s insanely successful Bethenny Getting Married?—isn’t one to feel self-conscious. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t conscientious—especially when it comes to her beauty routine. This 39-year-old new mommy wore high heels and mini-dresses for most of her pregnancy. Her secret for avoiding cankels? “SPONGE Skincare Anti-Fatigue Leg Cream! It helped my legs feel invigorated and less swollen. I think showing a little leg during pregnancy is sexy, but not if you’re limping around,” she told us. She’s also a fan of the line’s Lavender Aromatherapy Mist: “Right after a bath when I’m winding down for bed the lavender scent really quiets everything down.” We’ll take one of each—along with a Skinnygirl Margarita, of course.

Spice Up Your Fall Wardrobe

Jul 27, 2010 @ 2:34 pm

The following is a guest post from one of our favorite online shopping destinations, Decadestwo.

Minimalism ruled the Fall 2010 runways. Don’t get us wrong, we loved the architecturally inspired cuts and colors; but, after a awhile we felt adrift in a sartorial sea of stone and slate. So we’ve picked a few fall pieces that highlight upcoming trends to show how you can inject luxe textures (like this airy confection of a dress) and bright colors into your clothing collection. Click through our gallery to see ideas of how to avoid a washed-out fall wardrobe. For more information or to purchase, please contact lizzy@decadestwo.com.

The Jolie-Pitt Kids are Seriously Stylish

Jul 27, 2010 @ 11:30 am

Angelina Jolie, still traveling the world to promote her new movie Salt, was snapped with four of her six children at a Tokyo airport. And we must say, we’re blown away by the way that each little one was rocking his or her own individual style. Perpetually-mohawked Maddox looked tough in a white tank and cargos, while little sister Zahara celebrated summer in a white-ensemble topped with a yellow cardigan. Tomboyish Shiloh embodied preppy East Coast chic, while dapper Pax won the day in a simple khaki suit complete with coordinating shades. So cute!
