Get the Look: Rihanna’s leather jacket

TiRih

First of all let me say, this performance was the highlight of the 2008 VMA’s for me. Did Rihanna look hot or what?!

Her leather jacket is BOMB and she looks fantastic. Of course you would probably want to wear a shirt underneath and find something less embellished for a more wearable look. I usually try to find the most affordable options but when it comes to authentic leather, it’s not cheap, and faux leather tends to look and feel like plastic.

The celeb-favorite Mike & Chris leather jackets (below) go for around $900… ouch

Which is why I’m glad I found this knock-off last year at Old Navy. (hope they bring it back this year)

Express has this one for $225 (below)

I’m in love with these cable knit berets for Fall. The one pictured above is from Urban Outfitters for $24.

However, I found an extremely similar item for a fraction of the price at Forever21.

Xtina’s new look?

Was I the only one who thought that was Hulk’s ex wife, Linda Hogan, performing on stage at the VMA’s? Yikes!

Coco Chanel

Coco

Shirley MacLaine will star as Coco Chanel in a Lifetime two-part miniseries on Saturday, September, 13th. I wonder if they will get into the fact that she had a relationship with a Nazi. Yikes! Chanel, who died in 1971 at age 87, was named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people of the 20th Century.
Another future film “Coco before Chanel” with French actress Audrey Tautou, will tell the story of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s life before she was famous. Spring 2009 release for that one
