UPDATE: This post has been updated on August 28, 2009. Scroll down to see the new knockoff.

Finding a good pair of jeans is one of the toughest quests I have ever been confronted with as a shopper. It’s so hard to find a jeans that you feel comfortable in AND which looks good on you. At least for me. I always restrain from buying jeans online, but these Balmain biker jeans would be clearly an exception if they weren’t out of my budget.

UPDATE (08/28/2009): Found another Balmain skinny jeans knockoff by Bebe.

Bebe Stitched Knee Skinny Jean

Bebe was once again heavily inspired by Balmain. This jeans is not a knockoff per sé because the stitching on the knees differs slightly and the zip detail is on the outside, but it’s obviously an attempt to recreate Balmain’s iconic rocker/biker jeans.

Rihanna has worn a multitude of fabulous things last week and I wanted to give you all a small update on her latest fab acquisitions. I loved her black Alexander McQueen killer zip up booties which she wore to Fred Segal on June 02, 2009. A few days before, Rihanna looked incredibly sexy in a one shouldered Alexander Wang LBD. On that same day Rihanna also sported a casual outfit by pairing a white Brian Reyes vest together with a blue MiH Jeans skinny jeans. Keep on going, RiRi!

You’re probably already aware of my obsession for everything nautical, so it may not surprise you that seeing Emmy Rossum in this super cute VAVA by Joy Han skipper dress makes me swoon. Emmy attended Nivea and Shay Todd’s “Bikini Bash” in Malibu a few days ago and looked simply drop dead gorgeous in that dress whilst being perfectly accessorized with a white Gustto “Andrea” satchel.

I am really, really loving Emmy’s dress – the cute navy striped bodice, the high-waisted denim skirt and don’t even get me started on the cute gold buttons! L-O-V-E! Perfect summer dress.

Vanessa Hudgens was recently snapped while pumping some gas at the gas station. The young actress sported a brown Kathmandu t-shirt with white ripped Current/Elliott jeans and hid behind green tinted Ray-Ban aviator sunnies. Tan gladiator flats completed her look.

Vanessa is really owning casual Californian style at its best, that’s a great look for her!
