We love lace. It's sexy, elegant, and feminine all at the same time. But sometimes it's hard to figure out how to wear it.
Thanks to these three celebs, we have a few more options when it comes to donning doily-like wares.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Ke$ha showed up at the same event—the Calzedonia Summer Show Forever Together in Italy—recently, wearing the flirty fabric, but in two very different ways. SJP chose to accent her topcoat and cobalt blue shoes with lace tights, while Ke$ha wore a figure-flattering jumpsuit complete with side cutouts covered with lace.
Sienna Miller, on the other hand, stepped out in NYC wearing a lace embossed LBD that we're just dying for because it's perfect for date night. Ladies, take notes.
But what are your thoughts?

We first saw an influx of belly slivers on the spring runways at Peter Som and Versace—and about 15 other shows. And then a ton of celebs started wearing crop tops on the red carpet...so, yeah, they're a thing.

If you haven't marked your calendars yet for Prince Harry's return visit to the U.S this spring, we don't know what you're waiting for. The partying prince will be stateside from May 9th to May 15th, and will be visiting areas in New Jersey and New York damaged by Hurricane Sandy. During his short stay, the smokin' ginger will also be interacting with wounded servicemen in Colorado Springs, visiting our nation's capital, and attending a high-end fete in NYC.
Followed, perhaps, by more naked partying, and perhaps a little potential wife scouting? He's still technically single, which means we're planning our wooing strategy.
1. Wow Him With Your Pool Shark Skills On Harry's last visit to the U.S, the Royal ended up naked bear-hugging (gasp!) a girl he had just meant during a game of strip pool in his VIP hotel suite. So even if he won't be making an appearance in Las Vegas this time, you can bet he'll still be impressed with your ball-handling skills. Besides, if you're a better shot than him, it'll be his crown jewels that are on display.
2. Let Up On Your Addiction To Instagram Speaking of Vegasgate, if his handlers hadn't been so lax about a "no photo" policy, Harry's wild night never would have been shared with the world. Show him you're the type of girl who knows how to keep her mouth shut and her phone photos to herself.
3. Spritz his Turnbull and Asser cashmere with your signature scent His favorite sweater + your favorite perfume = a memory of America that will last longer than the lingering hangover from last night's party.
4. Practice your Ginger Spice impression Can you hold a note? Walk in 8-inch platforms? Prince Charles fondly reminesced once about the time Geri "Ginger Spice" Haliwell touched his tush. Help his son one-up the whole scenario, by snogging Harry in full-on costume (bonus points if you still remember the chorus to "Wannabe.")
5. Show him you make better tea sandwiches than his grandma. A burger and fries — or fish and chips — is great after a long night of partying, but show him that when it comes to the things that matter (tea sandwiches), you've got even the Queen beat.
6. Become a prankster. There's nothing Harry loves more than a good prank, or so it seems. While on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan, the Prince would sign up his pals for dating sites behind his back, especially those specifically geared towards cougars. Find a way to pull a fast one on him, and he'll be yours forever.
7. Channel your inner "Snooki" Believe it or not, Prince Harry's type may be a bit more Kardashian than his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton (although, he tends to favor the blonds a tad bit more on average). When it comes to quick romances, Harry has been linked to a number of women — from cocktail waitresses to students to his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy — who all have gotten his attention from dancing on tables to being pushed into pools. Moral of the story: When you're fighting with fifty other women for Harry's attention, he's probably not going to be the pursuer. You may need to speak up.
8. Be rich and/or famous. It doesn't hurt if you have this going for you already. Harry's harem (and those rumored to have once been involved with the Royal) has included a litany of ladies who have impressive resumes or families with bulging bank accounts, including: Chelsy Davy, Florence Brudenell-Bruce, Mollie King of "The Saturdays," and currently, socialite Cressida Bonas.
The clock is ticking 'til the 28-year-old Royal sets foot stateside. So brush up on your British sayings, put on your party-girl persona, and make sure to let us know if you have any luck. Happy Harry hunting!

Today's the first day of spring (yay!), we're taking a cue from the First Lady and incorporating color into our beauty look stat. At this point, MObama is basically the First Beauty Editor, right? She's setting trends every month.
Our Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles got a close-up look at MObama's blue eye liner yesterday and tweeted: "Check out @michelleobamas aqua eye liner, pretty rad for a First Lady @whitehouse #women'shistorymonth." And we totally agree, she looks amazing and so fresh-faced.
So, in addition to lining your top or bottom lash line with colored blue liner (or any shade, really), like Michelle Obama did, here are four other ways to splash your beauty routine with a little ROY G BIV:
1. Top your lips with a coral-colored lipstick. The shade works on all skin tones, since it's a blend of peach and pink, and it's so on-trend for Spring it hurts. Try Revlon Color Stay Ultimate Suede Lipstick in It Girl, $10, drugstore.com.
2. Or go for a hot pink shade on your pout. This color is a playful alternative to a classic red, making it the perfect Spring shade. Plus, if you're sporting barely there makeup and want to kick up your look a notch, this color is the way to go. We like Illamasqua Lipstick in Eurydice, $24, sephora.com.
3. Do up your digits. Spring is the time to dabble in color, so why not coat your tips and toes with Crayola-like colored polish? Whether you go for brights or pastels, you can't go wrong.
4. Add some color to your strands. We're taking a page out of Peter Som's book for this one. Change up your hair color either by clipping in a pale pink, blue, or purple extension or using temporary hair dye to switch up your strands for a subtle rainbow effect.
How will you be incorporating color into your beauty look this spring?

Kerry killed it on the Golden Globes red carpet, channeling her Scandal character, Olivia Pope, who's known for wearing champagne and cream.
However, in true Kerry style, this A-lister took it to the next level and sprung for a sexy see-through bejeweled dress from Miu Miu in a similar color palette.

Want some sick nail colors that (seriously) won't chip the first week you paint them on?
Then get your hands on Jin Soon's Nail Polish, $18 each, jinsoon.com.
Even better, the nail guru just released her new Spring colors, including five shades created, named by top runway models.
Intrigued? We were too, so we met with her to get the inside scoop.
Here's the deal: Her overall inspirations were the botanical gardens and the paintings of Monet, which her collection clearly emulates. It's full of five happy shades that instantly jump out and grab you. Translation: You'll want to douse your digits in them stat.
"I wanted to go for colors that any woman could wear, no matter their age," says Jin. And even though her colors are bright, she didn't want to go the neon route. "Neons tend to be for a younger age group, but I wanted vibrant colors that anyone would like."
After Jin nailed down her colors for her collection, she then asked five top runway models to name her shades based on their favorite flowers. See the pic above for who named which shade.
Jin's two favorite combos: French Lilac on nails, Blue Iris on toes and Tea Rose on nails, Coral Peony on toes.
So what do you think? Are you amped to try out these long-lasting lacquers in super bright, happy shades?
