The Style Shakedown

Styleshake Down - Ricky Wilson

Here's Ricky Wilson at the "Sweeney Todd" London Premiere After Party - Arrivals sporting a great look. The western shirt works over the bright tee and under the hound tooth blazer to create a nice blend of color and texture.

To capture the idea shop a specialty tailor or man clothier. There are plenty in Austin. Johnston clothier is a personal favorite. I also love Kuhlman a Minneapolis based hand tailor. The husband and wife team pulls the finest 100% Italian cotton into a collection of amazing blazers and pants for both men and women.

our pick: It's a cool jacket featuring a blue and green houndstooth in heavy weight cotton that is perfect for these early fall days and unexpected cool evenings. Unlined with contrast taped seams, 2 button, notch lapel, side vent model and if your mad for plaid ... each on sale for $149.00. *Enjoy free shipping on orders over $100.

Here's a sexy "fire engine red" number. Pull this look into the day with a pair of black tights. You can't go wrong trench coats serve dual purpose these days. Coat or dress - it's your mood and your call.

Style Shakedown - Cameron Diaz

These boots were made for walking and Cameron was made for smiling. The girl is always giggling or smiling. An why not - her creative style warrants an expressive spirit. Whether its her ever changing hair color, great colorful add-ons or left field red carpet picks, she has a charming style like none other.

on the cheap: boots, jeans, bag, coat, sweater, hat

A little FYI - Madewell within the Domain has great low riders (boots that is)... check them out. Be beware J Crew's sister store is stocked with lots of other temptations. Starbuck's Peppermint Mochas, Turkey dinners and holiday shopping - what else could a girl ask Santa for...

Style Shakedown - Ellen Pompeo

The writer's strike has many taking a break and us watching re-runs.

Stars, like Ellen Pompeo, are already making the most of their impromptu r-n-r recharges. I love her cognac brown bag. It offers a sophisticated touch neutralizing just about any look. I consider it a great way to brighten a casual navy jacket or ulta glam dress.

Style Shakedown - Brad Pitt

Who wouldn't switch shoes with Brad Pitt. Married to a beautiful wife, dedicated to raising a family and involved in Katrina relief efforts.

All that, an he still manages to keep his boyish good looks. Not to mention own sense of style with a touch of Samuel L Jackson's trademark - the Kangol cap. He's truly one well dressed saint.

on the cheap: shoes, jeans, hat, belt, shirt, tee
