Jessica Alba Shines in Silver Glimmering One Shoulder!

Jessica Alba attending the Gucci In-Store Cocktail as part of Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2011.

When I saw this photo of Jessica Alba in a stunning sparkling silver mini, I thought I have found the perfect understated silver glitter dress. The dress shows off her shape with style and sophistication, yet the design is very sensual. 

As much as I L.O.V.E. accessories I had to show close up shots of her small snakeskin clutch and her champagne and glitter platform heels. I'm not much for platforms but they look good on Jessica.

Jennifer Garner stands up for my favorite Cause...CHILDREN

Actress Jennifer Garner helps launch six new SAVE THE CHILDREN U.S. program sites in her native West 
Virginia.

Jennifer Garner who is Artistic Ambassador for SAVE THE CHILDREN seems to be such an amazing person. Not only is she a talented actress, wife to Ben Affleck and busy mother to 2 beautiful little girls, she is involved in my favorite cause... CHILDREN.     

On November 18th Jennifer testfied before the Senate Subcommittee on Children and Families to advocate for deeper federal investments in early childhood education. She advocated for additional funding for Head Start and Child Care and Development Block Grant, which would fund innovative early childhood education programs.

Here is a video of Jennifer and her Mom Patricia Ann Garner who is an educator, speaking at a Press Conference for SAVE THE CHILDREN

This is a terrific example of letting your Celebrity be a strong voice for people who do not have a platform to speak up for themselves. Great job Jen!

My First Post is dedicated to my favorite Celebrity Fashion Inspiration-Halle Berry

Halle is the Epitome of classic elegance that never gets old. Her stylist can style her in the dark because she can put just about anything on. The main thing I love about her is that this women makes the clothes she wears and they don't make her. Here she is at the AFI Fest in a LBD by Elie Saab

 I also love how she illuminates the fact that less is more, Here is her simple silver bracelet and Black Gucci Pumps.

In her own words she told Michael Yo from E! that the Gucci Pumps are from 2 Seasons ago.

She also says that Good Guccis never go bad. Now that's a girl after my own heart. I have nothing against people that have to have the latest "It" shoe, bag, etc. but then there are those of us who love classic items you can have for years when the fad items are long gone. See the Video below.
