Vogue Phillip Lim Anniversary Party

Phillip Lim with Rachel Bilson and Kristen Bell

Hollywood starlets gathered to celebrate the first anniversary for the Beverly Hill's 3.1 Phillip Lim store. If you're wondering who Phillip Lim is, he launched his collection in 2004, and shortly after, A-list celebrities such as Natalie Portman and Kate Hudson were seen on the red carpet wearing his designs. He's been a fashion favorite for "it" girls ever since, and even received a CFDA award in 2007.

Shenae Grimes, who plays Anne Wilson on 90210, looked girlishly refined wearing a chiffon ensemble from the 3.1 Phillip Lim 2010 Resort Collection.

Sienna Miller, Channing Tatum, Karolina Kurkova, Denis Quaid and, Rachel Nicholls attended a photo call (July 22) in preparation for the UK premiere of “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”. Even though she was soaked on the boat coming over to the photo call, she looked fab posing aboard the HMS Belfast.

Victoria Secret's Karolina Kurkova is preggers, so she wore a red striped Topshop dress which covered her itsy bitsy bump.

Emma Watson is fashions new darling

In honor of her fashion debut, I've got the perfect spell for sleepy eyes, straight from the Tommy Hilfiger runway spell book.

Necessary Ingredients:
*gold shadow (with just a hint of shimmer for daytime—avoid the disco look)
*sleepy eyes

Use gold shadow with a hint of shimmer for a daytime look. Simply dust shadow onto the center of your eyelids from lashline to creases and VIOLA!

(If gold’s not your thing, smudge white shimmer powder onto the inner V of your eyes.)

How high will you go?

Elle says, over-the-knee boots are smoking up the runways everywhere from Rodarte to Louis Vuitton. They are perfectly versatile ladies! The look transitions from day look to night effortlessly. With an array of lengths to choose from (just above-the-knee through hip-grazing) I'm sticking with the Free People mid-thigh flats. If you adore this look as much as I do, which length will you choose??
