New York — Singer Rihanna took a break after her  concert to get dinner at Phillipe Chow where the redhead showed off her new, misspelled neck tattoo on Friday (08/13/2010), wearing J Brand Wax Stretch Skinnies in Camouflage, T by Alexander Wang Fitted Long Sleeve Sweater($105) and Alexandre Vauthier Mary-Jane Pumps.  Rihanna who has the words “rebelle fleur” tattooed on her neck clearly missed a lesson in french class as the direct translation of her intended meaning, “Rebel Flower” would be “Fleur Rebelle”.

Madrid, Spain — These cat’s eye glasses (Tom Ford Nikita sunglasses) look really nice on Rihanna. Even though this vintage form did not receive wide attention this simmer, the trend still has quite a few celebrity followers.

Rihanna was in Madrid on Sunday (6/6/2010) for The Rock In Rio Festival. She wore a graphic print romper with front zipper detail and beige Lanvin Chain Link Platform pumps.

.

Beverly Hills, CA — Just after announcing her relationship with baseball player Matt Kemp, Rihanna was seen out shopping (04/08/2010). Rihanna wore  Opening Ceremony Side Pleat Shorts, Lanvin Silk And Straw Hat($377.10) and Alexander Wang Isabeli Haircalf Pointed Mules ($425).

We can’t quite put a finger on cultural references in Rihanna’s outfit — a little Spanish, perhaps? While her gigantic hoop earrings are outrageous, we give Rihanna credit for boldly mixing an abstract floral and animal prints!

Basic tops often serve as backdrops highlighting other elements of the look. Either it is a pencil skirt, pants, jeans, boyfriend jacket, chunky necklace or a vintage clutch, they’ll all stand out when combined with basics. The simpler the basic the better.

We chose LA-based Kain Label as an example for several reasons. Luxuriousness combined with casual, relaxed softness and comfort makes Kain’s basics very desirable. These modern classics come in several trims — crew, v-neck and tank, and feature high-end semi-sheer fabric containing silk that makes Kain tees drape perfectly to achieve sexy silhouettes.

Kain has attracted insane celebrity following. Among fans are such A-listers as Jessica Simpson, Gisele Bundchen, Victoria Beckham, Sienna Miller, Lauren Conrad, Hilary Duff, Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning, Kim Kardashian and Rihanna. Lindsay Lohan is simply obsessed with Kain’s tees.

So, do you have Kain t-shirts in your closet from year before? You do? Great! If you don’t, go to the end of this post where you can click on and buy select styles. Enjoy!

Wow! Barbados native Rihanna must feel really uncomfortable in colder climates of North America and Europe. Rihanna has been bundling up in fur coats and accessories a lot lately, which prompted us to think that she at some point might’ve had a long chat with fur-loving Anna Wintour of Vogue.

All-righty then! It looks like we are going to see lots of faux fur this fall/winter season — especially coats and vests. We are getting a lot of vibe from Where The Wild Things Are. Of course, we will never see as much as a wisp of faux fur on Anna Wintour or Victoria Beckham. But, hey, these ladies ain’t mainstream.

It is rather impractical to own expensive chinchilla or mink coat these days. Ask Jennifer Lopez! Insurance premiums are high, and the giant PETA rabbits  are lurking around clutching protest posters and buckets of paint.

Kate Moss‘ Winter Holiday 2009 Collection for Topshop features couple of faux fur jackets. Some conscious celebrities already wore faux fur last winter. Other celebrities are catching up to this trend.

Katherine Heigl, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kate Hudson all own Juicy Couture faux fur coat. While this style is no longer available, there’s another deserving variation — Juicy Couture Bracelet Sleeve Faux Fur Flounce Coat ($398). There’s also interesting Juicy Couture  Faux Fur Vest [sold out, was $298]. We are going to see lots of these furry things.

Whoa, Angelina Jolie was wearing chinchilla hat and cape on the set of her latest movie, Salt!? Actually, Angelina, who is longtime fur foe, was wearing man made fur, not the real thing.
