Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Kate Walsh Doctors My Style

kate_walsh.jpg[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!

New Artists for 2008 (since we can only handle so much Rihanna)

santogold.jpgHigh 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.”
