Alright, here goes nothing. I have made an official goal for myself to actually follow this season of The Bachelorette all the way through. Maybe it's because I actually like Emily Maynard (why, I'm not so sure), or perhaps it's because who wouldn't enjoy a specific period of time every week to gawk at hunky men.

Either way, last night's premiere was full of a few gems ("Wolf," anyone?). Yeah yeah, there were loads of wackadoodle guys to capture our attention -- but one thing I couldn't stop gawking over: Emily's dress.

Did I like the Jean Fares design? Yeah ... I guess. But you've got to admit, this was a poor woman's attempt at a Beyonce nude showstopper. Am I right?

Ahhh, the infamous optical illusion dress. Since the first (and the second and third) time I saw Kate Winslet wearing the dress, I wasn't a huge fan. Even if I could put the $3,900 price tag aside, the garment just looked kinda funky to me. But leave it to Kris Jenner to change my mind. Kris rocked the illusion dress to an event last night in New York City.

Shoot, momma look gooooood. I have an inkling as to why I'm feelin' Kris in the standout number a little more than Ms. Winslet. And no, it's not just because I'm a Kardashianista.

Walk with me, here:

And you thought mom jeans were high-waisted ...

MTV's Style blog points out a pair of Viktor & Rolf pants that are so extremely high-waisted, they eliminate the need for a shirt altogether!

Now that's what I call versatile!

With these EXTREME high-waisted pants, you can tell the world that shirts are sooooo 2011.

Alternatively, you can send the world a message that you shacked up with a giant last night.

But pants this EXTREME come with an EXTREME price tag ...

Sometimes I don't know what I find more offensive: the price tag on a pair of Christian Louboutin stilettos, or the height of the heel. They're both so absurdly high that I can't afford to, monetarily or physically, take a pair of his famous red-sole shoes home with me. And that's fine. If I had my heart set on a sexy pair of heels that looked like Louboutins, there are plenty of fakes out there to choose from. But even though they may be cheaper, they're still insanely high. And that's where they lose me. There's nothing less sexy than a woman teetering in stilettos all night, taking baby steps, and looking at her feet when she could be walking confidently in a pair of heels not quite so towering.

Funny part is, Louboutin himself agrees with me. He told Grazia magazine that if women can't walk in heels, they shouldn't wear them. A to the men.

Ahhhh, the hard life of an A-list celebrity when the Oscars roll around. Having dozens of designer dresses and stellar stilettos at your beck and call has to be SUCH a drag. Syke! I'd kill for a spot at the Academy Awards. Hell, I'd kill just to get pampered like some of Hollywood's elite leading up to the big event.

Thanks to Kelly Ripa, we're able to get a sneak peek of what goes into selecting the perfect red carpet gown. Joined by her hubba hubby Mark Consuelos, Kelly tried on a whole slew of gorgeous gowns gearing up for Sunday's big shebang. 

Lucky for Kel, her pint-sized frame looks amazing in all of the bazillion dresses she's trying on. Besides, anyone who's watched a slew of awards shows (nevertheless attended one!) can tell you what does and doesn't work on the red carpet, right? Kelly -- this should be a cinch!

All she needs to do is follow these 3 big rules for picking the right dress:

Only four days left until the 2012 Oscar Awards and I'm so stoked! Yeah yeah, the whole giving out the awards thing is cool and that host Billy Crystal, well, he's pretty funny -- but personally I'm a tad more amped for the red carpet. Hellooo! Who doesn't love to channel their inner Joan Rivers and take a swing at some of Hollywood's biggest celebs fashion faux pas? Pick me? Kthanks.

American fashion designer Jeremy Scott is in a word: famaze.* His runway shows are a highlight of any fashion week -- he plays awesome music, the crowd is always star-studded, and in September he gave away Longchamp bags he designed covered in a prescription pill pattern -- and this season did not disappoint. Scott's Fall/Winter 2012 collection was inspired by none other than Bart Simpson. The 500th episode of The Simpsons will air Sunday, February 19, and clearly, Scott is a fan of the irreverent and biting yellow cartoon character.

From Bartman sweaters to one pieces with Bart's head all over them, Scott's show was ridiculously unwearable but ridiculously fun. Ay, carumba dudes.
