Rate It or Hate It: J'adore Kate Bosworth

C'est magnifique! Kate Bosworth shines in this sparkly bow-front shift dress at the Sonia Rykiel and H&M underwear launch party at Le Grand Palais, Paris.

C'est magnifique! Kate Bosworth shines in this sparkly bow-front shift dress at the Sonia Rykiel and H&M underwear launch party at Le Grand Palais, Paris. What's there not to love about this outfit? It has sequins! A bow! And the shoes match to perfection! I must have it! I'm so lucky to know Kate personally and be able to borrow this number from her whenever the urge hits..... no wait, that's not me at all. Don't you hate confusing yourself with an A-lister? Happens to me all the time.

Your call now, are you having an out-of-body experience with this get-up, too, or am I in need of some medication?

Perth label Morrison keep on keeping on with the launch of their exciting new online store this month. The latest addition to the BRW young rich list, designers Kylie Radford and Richard Poulson started the brand in 2002 with a vision to create wearable clothes for real women, naming the brand after their beloved dog.

The Summer 09 'Absence' collection is featured on the site, as well as their luxurious line of basics, both focusing on classic and flattering styles rather than fleeting trends. Light organic linens and beautiful jersey knits in earthy tones are the perfect addition to any wardrobe. Adding to the five stores across Australia, a sixth Morrison branch will be opening this month in Sydney's Strand Arcade.

Rate It or Hate It: Jessica Simpson Does Disco

Jessica Simpson chose a gorgeous Collette Dinnigan metallic mini dress to help celebrate sister Ashlee's Broadway debut.

Jessica Simpson chose a gorgeous Collette Dinnigan metallic mini dress to help celebrate sister Ashlee's Broadway debut. I do love the dress, but I'm not so sure it's the best fit for Jess. The boatneck style is a large bust no-no, and the sparkly fabric seems to hug in all the wrong places. The ankle strap heels don't help her cause either, completely cutting her off. I do love the earrings though, subtle yet eye-catching.

What do you guys think?
