Starting now through Friday, July 24, 2009, tristinstyling, and social media marketing guru, Laura Roeder, have teamed up with Polyvore to feature Brea’s stylish and creative fans on the web!

Polyvore members will be using the editor tool to create a red carpet look by incorporating at least one piece of jewelry from our featured jewelry designers, Jody McGill, Nina Nguyen, or Mimi Kim, or at least one item of clothing from featured clothing line,  The Serpico Collection.

Brea’s stylist, Christine, will pick the winner who will receive a signed gift from Brea and get their photo, bio, and set featured here on our blog, followed by a tweet from Brea on her twitter profile to her 25,000+ followers!

The thing I like about CLC’s designs is how most of her pieces are vintage inspired and detailed down to the button. My favorite, is the “Eva Lady Like Shirt Dress” because it’s a cut that works well with most body types.

Here are my top 5 Corey Lynn Calter pieces:

1. Tamara Pleated Tank Dress With Sash ($209.00)
2. Eva Lady Like Shirt Dress ($214.00)
3. Nellie Button Detail Dress ($224.00)
4. Francesca Drop Waist Ruffle Dress ($160.00)
5. Eva Button Front Shirt Dress ($230.00)

Rumor has it that Actress Hilary Duff is set to take on the role of Bonnie in a another movie called “The Story Of Bonnie And Clyde”

The film is said to be about Bonnie and Clyde, the famed criminals who captured the attention of the press and readers during public enemy era.

In May 2008, Duff appeared in Allure Magazine’s Bonnie and Clyde inspired photoshoot (pictured left) which shows how much she can resemble a young Faye Dunaway as Bonnie.

Production is set to begin in April.

If this is all true, I’m excited to see what the wardrobe team is going to put together.

Julia Lintern, started her career as a structural aerospace engineer. Being a closet fashion designer, she launched her 1st fashion label, Molly Spinach in 2004.

Upon seeing how her spunky label gradually transformed into more sophisticated and complex designs, the new high-end outerwear label Lia Lintern has been created to debut in Winter of 2009.

Though each piece can seem too high on the price point scale, consider that each coat, made of cashmere and wool, is custom-made to fit based off of your bust, waist, hips, and arm length measurements upon ordering..

Anna K, my favorite piece, is pictured below:

From left to Right:

Angelina Jolie kept in nice and neutral in an Atelier Versace dress and Jimmy Choo. She accessorized her look with platinum jewelry by Neil Lane.

Olivia Wilde swept us away in a Reem Acra gown and Jimmy Choo shoes. She accessorized her gown with Van Cleef & Arpel’s Socrate Diamond Earrings, and a Jimmy Choo clutch.

Last night, Brea attended the HFPA Salute To Young Hollywood Golden Globe Party (held at Nobu).

Her dress by Los Angeles clothing designer, Jenny Han, whose designs are casual-chic and feminine was a perfect way to do all black.

Her necklace, by Portland jewelry designer, Amy Wing, is a perfect match to her clutch by accessory designer(s), Tivi, whom I’ve been a fan of for a while now.

Her boots and ring are both vintage pieces.

Last night I styled Brea in a dress by stopstaring.com for the Avakian Beverly Hills Boutique Celebration.

Stop Staring (as featured in our video “Online Shopping Session with Brea Grant“) features sexy silhouettes with a rockabilly, vintage 40’s and 50’s flair. They also design plus size pieces.

Right now, through December 15th, you can get 20% off your order. Just shop and the discount will be applied at checkout.

When busy clients are too far away or too busy to meet and be styled for special events, we are able to conduct “Online Assisted Shopping Sessions” via gmail video chat which enables us to speak with and see the client.

The session consists of web links being sent from the stylist to the client through the chat window while discussing the likes and dislikes of each piece. We also utilize our online resources for prepping clients for events (ex. “Now let’s see the other pair of shoes with that bag.”). Online sessions like this are generally done after evaluating a client’s personal style during the initial consultation.

To give you a good idea of how this goes, we put together a behind the scenes video clip (below) of on an online shopping session with actor, Brea Grant who plays Daphne (aka the Speedster) on the hit show, Heroes.

During the session, we featured the following designers who Brea La-lu-loooved:

antthony originals
stop staring
dressed up cat
the bead lady designs

Watch the video to see which pieces she favored…
