Now, this a true blue 'Who Owns It"! We have two different chicks wearing the same D&G Dolce and Gabbana Tulle Bustier dress iand accenting it with one of the different colors in the dress.

First, 90210 actress AnnaLynne McCord chose to wear this dress last month while attending a party for her WB show. She chose to accent the dress with soft pink strappy heels and white and pink jewelry. Actress and singer Kiely Williams rocked the same dress last night to US Weekly Style Party and paired the dress with black old hollywood accessories of tall slouchy gloves and retro bow platform pumps.

So, Who Owns It!?

Starting May 15th, to get your fix of Louis Vuitton online, you will have to go to their online store only! After many years of being one the go to place for all things fashionable and luxurious, including Louis Vuitton, eLuxury is shrinking their online boutique and will eventually become an online magazine, from what I hear.

Some of the benefits to shopping at LouisVuitton.com will be complimentary shipping and a wider selection, which is always a benefit when getting anything from the designer horses mouth or should I say house!

One of the best things I learned about myself over the past year is that I have sensitive skin! The reason I am so glad that I learned that information is because it explains my 27 year of having acne prone skin and other little things like itching after wearing latex lined medical gloves!

So, ever since this miniscule, yet milestone discovery of mine, I love to find products for sensitive skin, because they have become my best friend! One company that I recently had the pleasure of entering into my life is California Baby.

Jessica Iclisoy created the line California Baby in 1995 when she couldn't find a shampoo gentle and safe enough for her infant son, which lead to the creation of the leading natural care brand for babies and children- California Baby. California Baby is a natural and organic product line that features products perfectly designed for babies, kids, and sensitive adults. Since I fall under the latter, I have become an instant fan of the couple of products from this line that I have tried, so far.

One product that I can't part with is the moisturizing hand wash. Its anti-bacterial and infused with raveneara, lemon, tea tree, and coconut oil that not only leaves germ-free and moisturized hands, but a soft scent so lovely that makes me amped to wash my hands. I bring this to work with me, because my boss keeps our bathroom stocked with Dial anti-bacterial soap, which dries out my hands almost instantly! So, this comes with me to work for now, until I get my paws on another bottle.

Another product I can't wait to try is the soothing and healing spritz. Luckily, I haven't need to use this, yet. However, the scent of french lavender that seeped through that bottle put in a whirlwind of relaxation and calmness. It was great!!!

So, because I fell in love the soothing and healing spritz mainly for its smell, I am so getting the therapeutic French Lavender Essential Oil Blends. It will make my day.

Please visit California Baby to find something for you or a precious angel in your life!

I don't know what it is about this time of year that makes me go over board when looking and buying shoes! Probably, because it lets me flaunt my hot pink pedicure more or just because there are more styles you can wear when its warm than when its cold or more than likely, just a pure, hardcore love of shoes!

What ever the reason, I love finding cute and chic shoes that are affordable. Spring Shoes offers that and then some with the vast array of shoes and accessories. They have my current lust style of ballerinas, a pair of strappy brown sandals that makes my life feel incomplete until I get them in life, and a gaggle of bags and accessories for any occasion you and your closet need to accessorize! Plus, don't let the name Spring Shoes fool you, they have plenty of boots and pumps to get and keep you cute and warm on those colder days!

So, Stained Couture highly recommends you add Spring Shoes to your bookmarks, because they are so worth the link! Oh, they offer shoes for men, too!

In creating a scent that represents the man who takes a stand, Diesel chose to collaborate with American hip-hop artist and actor Common.

Inspired by visionary artists, icons and rebels, Only The Brave is a fragrance about seizing opportunities and making a difference. Only The Brave boasts the determination and strength to overcome adversity and make a mark. The GRAMMY-winning hip-hop artist's song "The 6th Sense" fully embodies the spirit of Only The Brave. Exploring what motivates a man and the challenges he faces, the song and the artist behind it encompass the qualities that make a brave man--determination, perseverance and principle.

Common is the author/composer of seven critically acclaimed albums and three children's books. He has appeared in films including "Dave Chappelle's Block Party," "Wanted" and "American Gangster" and is also the founder of the Common Ground Foundation, an organization dedicated to the empowerment and development of urban youth in the United States. Through his foundation, Common inspires bravery in the next generation and gives tomorrow's youth the strength to speak out.

Diesel President Renzo Rosso: "Common perfectly represents the spirit and energy of Only The Brave fragrance: passion, will and conviction. He's in control of his own destiny and has made his mark in all of his pursuits, creating changes through every effort and every medium."

"I've always thought Diesel was a progressive, fresh brand--it has a classic feel, but pushes the envelope," Common explains. "I wanted to partner with Diesel because that's really what I'm about too--to be an individual and an artist, it takes both bravery and courage."

Featured in the dedicated print and television advertising campaign of the new fragrance, shot by world renowned photographer Platon, and developed in collaboration with the Diesel Creative Team headed by Creative Director Wilbert Das, Common will also perform at selected Diesel stores worldwide, including the Los Angeles one on Wednesday, May 20, 2009.

Getting smooth legs is a gift and a curse for me. I love the feel and look of legs when they are smooth and frolicle-free, but the road it takes to get there can be bumpy or in this case foamy! I know, it doesn't take all that foam to shave your leg and moisturize it in the process, which most of these cosmetic and skincare lines claim. Now, I really know that isn't true since I have had the pleasure to experience Lippman Collection's I Shaved My Legs For This? shaving cream.

Although, this is called a shaving cream, it doesn't have that ridiculous foamy annoyance that you you instantly think with shaivng creams. Lippman's is more of a lotion that goes on smoothly and makes the shaving process go smooth.

If that's not enough for you, it also is packed with enough ingredients that not only soothe and moisturize you skin, but is safe enough to use anywhere on your body that needs it! The scent of lemon, mint, and lavender makes the entire experience relaxing!

I am really in love with this stuff and you will be, too! Try it for yourself!

I have a feeling this is going to be a good day! The sun is beaming and its nice and cool outside. I already have my check. Plus, I feel cute and confident. However, I know that I would look even cuter if I had a piece of jewelry from Ettika.

Plus, the Tree of Life Charm ring and the , is a contender to be on next month's "Lust-Have" list. The safety pin rosary, is just one of many rosary designs that I was fawning over! Love them!

A. Rebecca Minkoff Neon Rendevous Clutch in Hot Pink~ Seriously, ever since I saw this clucth, I have been having faashion-filled fantasies about outfits that I have and want to have that revolve around this hot pink fabness! Not to mention, this spring, you all need at least one neon accessory. They stand out and add a little bit of fun to an otherwise boring outfit.

B. Foxy Original Barbie Stiletto Stud Earrings~ For the past few months, I have been having an always classic and casual affair with my pair of gold hoops and diamond studs. However, since my childhood idol is turning the big 5-0, I think she deserves to be a part of my daily life with these black stiletto studs. Plus, they go with almost everything and are just ridiculously fun!

C. Lippman Material Girl Collection~ There is just something so simple as well manicured and polished nails that gives off the impression of someone that has it together, especially in red or natural shades. I am loving Lippman Collection's Prelude to Kiss polish, so I am really itching to have this little kit that features classic shades of soft pink and vibrant red with modern names. The kit also comes with cuticle cream and oil, top coat, strippers and a cute little bag to boot.

D. M.A.C Sugarsweet Collection~ I am loving this collection of high pigmented make-up in sugary sweet hues of pink with sprinkles of orange and brown hue products. The Tricolour Lipglass in Tasty...it means business, babes!

E. Mixed Media Necklace~ This spring, I decided that I was gonna try and cut back on the layers of jewelry and instead to opt for pieces that give the impression, but with out all the clinking and clanking that wearing multiple necklaces and bracelets can give off during the day. This mixed media necklace at Urban Outfitters has a handful of elements that can compliment almost any look. It can work with a rocker chic look thanks to the brass chain and chunky rope or preppy look thanks to the faux pearls, satin rope, and gold accents. A definite must for me!

Bravo has finally released some info about their new show, simply called "The Fashion Show" It will debut on May 7th with fashion designer Issac Mizrahi, Grammy winner Kelly Rowland, and IMG Fashion Senior VP Fern Mallis.

The show will follow 15 professional designers as they compete to win a $125,000 prize and have their designs carried in the retail market.

Now, I know that this sounds alot like Bravo's previous and hugely popular design show, Project Runway, but this seems to differ, because they include professional designers only. No amateurs, darlings.

Check out "The Fashion Show" section on Bravo's website to meet the designers and learn more about the show!

One summer, a friend of mine's aunt had this business wear she would use flower petals to make custom art pieces. I mean they were really beautiful and I enjoyed watching her make these pieces. However, I enjoyed it more when she would let us run barefoot in her piles and piles and more piles of flower petal, especially the soft petals of roses. It just felt so pretty, if that's possible.

Well, when I saw these petal sandals by Christian Louboutin, they instantly took me back to that time when Angela's aunt Teresa would let us run free in petals. No matter if you get the heels or flats, they are equally beautiful and scream spring garden wedding! Pretty.

TEEN VOGUE announced today that it is working with HP to make fashion-forward technology a focal point in the TEEN VOGUE Haute Spot concept store. The TEEN VOGUE Spring Style Haute Spot, which opened on March 28 at the Mall at Short Hills, N.J., brings the pages of TEEN VOGUE to life by featuring a Spring Prom Salon, trends of the season, model casting calls, and informal discussions with TEEN VOGUE editors. HP is outfitting the store with technology that fuses fashion, form and function.
 
Now in its second season, TEEN VOGUE Haute Spot is collaborating with HP to bring cutting-edge technology to fashion-savvy youth through this experiential showcase. The HP TouchSmart PC, a sleek and stylish touch-enabled PC, will make video archives of MTV and TEEN VOGUE’s hit reality show, The Hills, a touch of the finger away.  Additionally, this marriage has inspired a custom advertising campaign, which will run exclusively in TEEN VOGUE and online, inviting readers to the Haute Spot to “touch the future now” using HP PCs. The ad will also feature the world’s first digital clutch – a mini PC designed by world-renowned fashion designer Vivienne Tam in collaboration with HP.  TEEN VOGUE readers and Haute Spot visitors can also engage in a fun activity, http://hphauteshot.com, wherein they can superimpose their photographs on the covers of TEEN VOGUE, print them at the store or share them online with friends.
 
“One of the most significant shifts we’ve seen in the last few years is the emergence of technology as a fashion accessory – especially in the youth market,” says Laura McEwen, TEEN VOGUE Publisher. “A computer, cell phone, or other mobile device has really become the next ’it’ item. We chose to partner with HP because they get it. From fashionable PCs with peony designs to sleek, touch-enabled ones, HP products are the perfect blend of technology and style. TEEN VOGUE is proud to be partnering with a tech leader that truly has the style-conscious community as a top priority.”
 
“The technology we choose to carry is an expression of our personal style,” said Satjiv S. Chahil, senior vice president, Worldwide Marketing, Personal Systems Group, HP. “We’ve taken the personal computer from a necessity to a fashion accessory, combining form and function for a delightful technology experience.”
 
HP is powering the month-long program by outfitting the 3,600 square-foot storefront with PCs. In addition to the digital clutch, the thin and light HP Mini 1000, HP Pavilion dv2 notebook PC and HP TouchSmart PC will be available for use in the space.
