The look book of Anna Sui’s Target line has leaked! The line will be in stores and online September 13 through October 17. It consists of nineteen Gossip Girl inspired looks. Target capitalizes on the Gossip Girl meme by grouping the looks in the look book by Gossip Girl characters. Blair’s dresses come with high collars, two affixed with bows. Vanessa’s dresses are all oddly orange and brown. Jenny’s dresses are a confused mix of boho and schoolgirl partier. And Serena’s outfits aren’t nearly slutty enough!

I love blazers, especially white ones for summer. They dress up any outfit, but in a cool and casual way. Rolled sleeves especially adds to this look. Celebs who love the trend include R&B recording artist Rhea, Kim Kardashian, Hayden Panettiere, and Liv Tyler. These ladies have been spotted wearing this trend, in different styles like linen, tailored, padded shoulders, and tuxedo-style.

What’s worse than showing up to an award show wearing the same dress as someone else? – Hmmm – Obviously being the one whose look fell completely flat! Last night at the 2009 BET Awards, both Amber Rose and singer Amerie showed up wearing the same backless white Alexander McQueen mini dress. Seeing how I dubbed Amber best dressed last night, it’s obvious that I felt she looked best. On such a beautifully sunny day in LA, it was nice to see her liven up the red carpet with her neon pink patent leather pumps. For me, it wasn’t Amerie’s shoes that ruined it for me because I love her Alexander McQueen peep-toe booties, but her makeup and appeal was all wrong. You would have never known she was wearing a backless dress! She’s also such a naturally pretty girl, so the need to cake on all that eye makeup was unnecessary.

* I believe that overall, Amber Rose killed Amerie in every department. She definitely owned this look!

Big thanx to reader Kimone Lewis for spotting this.

When we saw supermodel Selita Ebanks rocking this Balmain number a few months back at the New York Premiere of Valentino’s Last Emperor, she knocked our socks off. Pairing her revealing LBD with simple Givenchy t-strap heels, Selita proved to us once again that she stands in her own lane. Singer LeToya Luckett arrived at last night’s 2009 BET Awards wearing the same Balmain dress with silver embellishments and zippers placed all around, paired with chunky metallic silver and black heels. The only difference with LeToya’s dress is that she modified the cleavage area to possess a bandage-like covering.

* I’d definitely agree that LeToya’s is a more classy look than Selita’s, but this is Balmain, so I doubt classy was the look she was going for. I think she looks super-sexy and amazing, plus her heels are wayyyy better. So yeah, Selita def has my vote!

Since I was away from home all night, I didn’t have the chance to watch the 2009 BET Awards. I’m usually not as excited to see any BET Award show, but I knew Jamie Foxx was hosting, there was a good performance line-up, and BET had planned on doing a Michael Jackson tribute, which would of course been worth watching.

Because I didn’t catch the show, I won’t be writing about it. What I will comment on however, is the fashion. I’ll start by saying that I have never in my life seen so many damn ugly pairs of shoes! What the heck were these women (and/or their stylists) thinking off?! Gross.

The only ones in my opinion to steal the show redcarpet-wise was Amber Rose & Kanye West. Oh, they look amazing together! Amber wore a white long-sleeve backless Alexander McQueen mini-dress, with neon pink pumps, and pink lip color to match. She of course wore her “cool” shades as usual. Thankfully not wearing a suit, Kanye is my kind’a guy in his beige jacket, white tee, jeans, and Timberland boots. The jeans could’ve been just a tad bit looser, but hey, he’s not my man so why do I care?!
