Pippa Middleton soars to top of ‘Best Dressed’ list in a trench coat

I’m not sure if she has enlisted the help of a stylist or if she just so happens to be a snazzy dresser, but Pippa Middleton has definitely become a fashion inspiration all over the world. Already dubbed “Her Royal Hotness” by a publication in Australia, Pippa continues to stop traffic on her way to work in a grey trench coat, opaque black stocking and suede booties on Wednesday, December 21st, 2011 in London, England.

Ms. Middleton is not only influencing folks with her outfit but also with her distinct name! A list of top baby names for 2011 revealed a growing number of mothers are naming their girls “Pippa.”

Strangely the name Catherine didn’t make the Top Ten list but I imagine this will change immensely in 2012.

Colin Farrell and Sam Rockwell cuddle up to a pup on set of ‘Seven Psychopaths’

I’m so sad I’m not spending the holidays in California this year. You KNOW I would be stalking looking for Colin Farrell and Sam Rockwell on the set of their new film, Seven Psychopaths! The duo were joined by co-star Christopher Walken in Venice, California on Tuesday, December 20th, 2011.

Also spotted on the set was an adorable pup that looks to be getting his/her’s butt stroked by the Irishman.

Farrell stars as a struggling screenwriter, who inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles criminal underworld after his oddball friends (Rockwell) and (Walken) kidnap a gangster’s (Woody Harrelson) beloved Shih Tzu.

I can’t wait to see this movie!!

Make-Up Monday: CoverGirl BlastFlipstick and LashBlast 24HR Mascara

Ever since CoverGirl announced Sofia Vergara as their newest spokesperson, I was excited to see what fun products she would represent. I was given an early preview of two items from the collection, the BlastFlipstick and the LashBlast 24HR Mascara before it hits stores in January 2012 and I’m loving them!

My favorite product for 2012 is CoverGirls BlastFlipstic ($8.49), a double-ended lipstick with shades you can blend to create different looks. The brands’ Global Creative Design Director and makeup artist extraordinaire Pat McGrath mentioned why this technique is so fantastic.

• “Lip color blending is key backstage because it gives me the power to design unique, high-fashion looks to complement any style. I love that COVERGIRL BlastFlipstick empowers everyone to create their own signature look every day.”

Mascara is not a favorite beauty of mine, I much prefer playing with eye shadows and lipsticks since its tough to get my eyelashes to curl. But LashBlast 24HR ($8.95) has this fabulous brush that gave my lashes amazing volume! The true test for me is that the mascara doesn’t irritate my eyes since I wear contact lenses.

I also really enjoyed the fact that it didn’t clump and that I didn’t have to re-apply.

Both items are set to hit stores next month. To stay up-to-date with all the latest news from Covergirl, make sure to follow their Facebook page here.

Vanessa Hudgens And Austin Butler take a trip to Target

Imagine going to your local Target to pick up a copy of High School Musical only to end up standing next to VANESSA HUDGENS at the check out counter! The 23-year-old somehow managed to do a bit of shopping with boyfriend Austin Butler and not cause a major disturbance at the big red retailer on Monday, December 19th, 2011.

Hudgens and Butler, who starred on the now defunct CW series Life Unexpected, have been hot and heavy for many months now with no signs of slowing down.

Vanessa almost managed to hide from everyone armed only with a floppy hat!! Well done!

Kellan Lutz bundles up in Aspen

With promotions for The Twilights Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 and Immortals behind him, Kellan Lutz is enjoying a much needed break. He was photographed during a shopping trip with friends in Aspen, Colorado on Monday, December 19th, 2011.

Noticeably missing from the outing is Lutz’s girlfriend Sharni Vinson who has most recently been his constant companion on the red carpet and special events. Speaking of Sharni, who is currently sitting beachside in her native Australia, recently spoke about Kellan’s special talents.

She said: ‘He does his push-ups with one hand holding me.’

The new year will bring us a lot more of this 26-year-old cutie! He has a handful of movies set to hit the big screen in 2012.

Pippa Middleton braves the rain in London

A little bit of bad weather won’t stop Pippa Middleton from getting to work! The brunette beauty stepped out in a casual ensemble while using her hands to shield herself from drops of rain in London, England on Monday, December 19th, 2011.

I’m sure its utterly annoying for Ms. Middleton to be photographed every morning but those of us who admire her fashion sense look forward to it daily! (I’m sure the paparazzi do as well!)

It’s absolutely amazing the way things have change for Pippa and her sister, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge this year! Both are followed often and their outfits are dissected and sell out in shops within hours. The Duchess is most recently credited with bringing back the popularity of flats in world full of high heels!

That is no small feat I assure you.

Are you a fan of The Middleton’s fashion?
