Natalie Portman

Fashionista Natalie Portman always impresses us with her unique feminine style. She always chooses classic pieces for her everyday looks, and styles her formal dressing with elegant gowns and dresses. But we also love the fact that the actress knows how to dress in affordable fashion! She looked chic and lovely in a frock from Target’s latest collaboration as she walked  the red carpet for the 9th Annual New York Times Arts & Leisure Weekend in New York City. Her Rodarte for Target slip dress retails for only $39!

I like how she added a wide black belt to her cardigan, which cinched her waist and highlighted the mustard hue in her lace and tulle dress. Portman anchors the fullest of the dress with perfection, choosing black tights and booties to complete her look.

Floral Prints from Liberty of London

More exciting news from the Target press room. The British label Liberty of London will partner with the budget-friendly retailer for an exclusive collection next Spring. The collaboration will be the largest collection that Target has ever teamed up with. The line will feature fashion for men, women and children, as well as accessories and home goods. The new line will debut on March 14, 2010 at Target stores and at Target.com.

Are you looking forward to the bold florals and exciting prints from the British fashion brand at Target?

Making your own accessories is a fun and chic way to add a touch of glamour to your party looks. Today, on the popular daytime talk show, Rachel Ray, fashion designer Kevin Christiana  from Project Runway: Season Four, showed how to “put some sizzle into your jewelry accessories,” by combining old or broken pieces of jewelry with newer strands or links. The fab designer, who showed his MYNT 1792 line at Detroit Fashion Week this Fall, shared his creative ideas to make lovely pieces from pearls, beads and other accents with different necklace strands and bracelet links. Watch the video below from Rachel Ray for great accessory designs, including headbands that Blair Waldorf would approve, that are a dream for budget fashionistas!
