Kate Walsh recently posed for the cover of Shape magazine…nude. She’s 44 years old, which is definitely getting close to, if not surpassing, the age in which such a picture is appropriate. This raises the question, “How old is too old to be posing nude?” My first thought was 28…don’t ask me why, I guess it’s because it’s below thirty and 29 just seems too close to thirty(?), but I digress. I started to think about it a little more and I think it’s actually really cool that Kate Walsh, at her age, feels comfortable enough to pose for the cover of a women’s health magazine. She looks good, why not flaunt it? I can only pray to look as hot as she does when I’m nearing the half-century mark. I can also only wish to ever be as confident as she is in herself to pose on the cover of a magazine. It certainly takes someone that is very comfortable in their own skin.

In honor of this confidence that I someday hope to possess, here are a few pictures of the really great, confident role model, Kate Walsh…

[Every week our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities are spending $5,000 on an ensemble, you don’t have to.

All you have to do is click on the goods and - boom - you can buy the entire ensemble. Yes, we know; there is a spot for her in heaven.]

I may be one of the few who truly loves Private Practice. Come on, people; don’t tell me you don’t dream of a doctor’s office filled with smokin’ docs! I also love Kate Walsh’s Bob. It’s chic and fresh, but still long and girly (unlike our pal Posh). And it looks so easy to deal with (unlike my unruly fro).

And now, not only am I jealous of Kate Walsh’s job and hair, but I’m jealous of her ‘fit. Cause it is just so cute. She looks totally fashion-forward for a day about town, which makes me believe that we can do it too!

But it’s a recession and we can’t afford to buy a $200 skirt! So leave it to me (your trusty budget fashionista) to break it down and find it for us all on the cheap: Read More »

High fiiiive to the music industry for just a second. I am so proud of you for giving these clothed, slightly average looking women the recognition they deserve- so virtual shots to you and Sara Barelles, Feist, Kate Nash, Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse. Tequilla! Amen.

However, there are still some kick ass artists that will get dusty on the shelves, or the webpages if you will, since record stores are as extinct as typewriters, if someone doesn’t bring them into the public eye. Cause come on, we’re all too busy surfing gossip sites and buying Starbucks to search for them ourselves. So, I did the homework….do yourself a favor and look for these radical new femme forces:

1. Santogold- This former A&R executive is the has a dash of the artist M.I.A with slightly a less cracked out beatmaker. Not to mention, she fearlessly pulls of electric blue skinny jeans and leopard print leotards. Anyone who can look hot in neon is icon worthy.

Favorite lyric: “Taint my mind but not my soul,Tell you I got fire, I wont sell it for no payroll“

2. Kate Walsh- The UK does it AGAIN. I swear, The Beatles have set a standard of greatness for UK artists. This is the perfect menstrual cycle music, ya know, weepy, melancholy- perfection.

Favorite lyric: “I don’t know what it is about you, that makes me want to run and jump inside you.”
