Award-winning actress Viola Davis joined forces with other A-listers such as Debra Messing, Diane Kruger, Mary Kate Olsen and Kerry Washington at the Annual Chanel Dinner Party honoring the Tribeca Film Festival Artist Awards Program.

Viola looked simply chic in a beaded Tory Burch sheath dress and the Adele Cuff from Stella & Dot. Her hair looked fierce (look at the shine!) and she topped off her muted look with a fuschia pucker. Read more about the Tribeca Film Arts Awards here.

Read on as guest blogger Erin Markland of Stella & Dot tells you how to get Jillian’s jewels from The Bachelorette season finale.

Our favorite bachelorette to date, Jillian Harris, continues to wow us with her “casual luxe” style, and she doesn’t fall short in the season finale episode.

I have to say that I’m personally happy that she picked Ed (yay!!), although I know Kiptyn was America’s fave. Jillian looked stunning (of course) while sipping champagne with fingers entwined, canoodling on the bed with Ed. And she looked even more fabulous because of her Stella & Dot jewelry. Find out what she was wearing after the jump!

Oh. My. Goodness! Jillian Harris’ clothing has certainly been getting a lot of attention this week, but let’s not forget about  her jewelry! Read on as Senior Stylist Erin Markland of Stella & Dot  gives us a play by play of Jillian Harris’ jewelry pieces from this week’s episode of The Bachelorette.

In Monday night’s episode of ABC’s The Bachelorette, Jillian Harris faced several surprises, from meeting Wes’s “other” family and finding out about his girlfriend to Ed returning to win her heart. While in Austin to meet the actual family of that slimy Wes, she sported the Turquoise  Sea Drop Earrings from Stella & Dot. Hey, at least she looked cute through all the drama! She also wore three other styles from the new, vintage-modern jewelry line in the same episode.

Krizia from www.myBeautyMatch.com talks about Lynne’s obsession with being and looking young.

Yup, I’m at it again with my favorite ladies from The Real Housewives of Orange County!

Last week, I talked about Lauri’s return to the show and how her face looked like it was frozen in time. You can still read it here: Krizia from www.myBeautyMatch.com talks about Lauri’s cameo appearance and Botox® Cosmetics!

This week, I’m taking on Lynne! Just to set the record straight, Lynne is my least favorite housewife. I don’t know what it is about her, but I’m just not warming up to her.

Last week’s episode was extremely catty and Tamra showed off her claws as she successfully attempted to get Gretchen drunk.

It was impossible to ignore Gretchen’s suggestive ways, but I managed to focus on Lynne (another new comer to the show). Lynne’s show-intro states: “I’m obsessed with being young!”

From past episodes, it’s clear that Lynne is a real Weight Watchers encyclopedia, because she knows the calorie count of every food.

It’s true that she has a very slim figure even after having had kids, but although this 40-something-year-old rich housewife might fool everyone with her size zero body, her face and her skin scream 70!

It’s obvious that Lynne has spent way too much time in the sun with little SPF protection. And, from a distance, with all that TV makeup you can still tell that she must have severe skin damage.

It’s still mind boggling to me that some women don’t understand that the sun is the most significant “ager” of all and accounts for 80-90% of premature aging!

My recommendation is that Lynne needs to see a cosmetic dermatologist to refresh her complexion. If she takes my advice,  her youthful skin will match her youthful body!

Krizia from www.myBeautyMatch.com talks about Lauri’s cameo appearance and Botox® Cosmetics!

I’ll be honest, The Real Housewives of Orange County is my guilty pleasure. I’ve been watching the show since Season One and it’s like an addiction from one week to next, because I WANT to know what’s happening in the lives of these super-privileged housewives.

A few episodes ago, we had to say bye-bye to Lauri, because she decided to put family first (read: her son Josh was dealing with a few personal problems).

In last week’s episode (I caught up on the Saturday night re-run, because the show is much more fun with a glass of wine in hand), Lauri came back to have lunch with my favorite blond bombshell Tamra.

Now, I know that these housewives have enough money to feed a small impoverished country, but the recent recessionary economy has affected everyone. Many cosmetic doctors around the world have reported a serious decline in business. And doctors from Orange County (the Mecca of cosmetic rejuvenation) have seen procedures shrink by 30 to 40 percent (as reported recently in the New York Times).

It seems as though everyone is cutting back on their cosmetic rejuvenation procedures except for Lauri, whose face was very rigid when she spoke and barely moved when she smiled. The interesting thing is that we’ve witnessed Tamra getting her beauty injections, but hers are so much more natural. I’d say Lauri needs to cut back or else she’ll soon start looking like Ivana Trump or Joan Rivers.
