Cameron Diaz is a fan. So is Katie Holmes, Diane Kruger, Heidi Klum, and Kim and Khloe Kardashian. Makes sense, too. Equipment tops are the perfect combination of slouchy and structured, giving an elegant edge to jeans, leggings, and skirts. It’s a must-have basic in almost every celeb’s closet for a reason – the shirts are made of washed silk with front flap patch pockets, a collar, long sleeves, buttons through front, button-fastening cuffs, pleat at back and have a curved hem for a perfect flattering fit. And we have them at 65% off through tomorrow – what could be better?

Can you say ooh la gorgeous? The celebs are really amping up the fashion wow factor at this year’s Cannes film festival. We’re loving the inspired gowns seen on some of our favorite stars. Check our our gallery below to see some of our favorite pics so far.

OK, we all know Lauren Conrad and Rachel Zoe are obsessed with Chanel. But what other celebs are enamored with this much-vaunted brand? Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively, for one – this blonde bombshell is the new face of Chanel’s Mademoiselle line. Today’s vintage Chanel sale inspired us to bring you some of our favorite celebs and their favorite Chanel bags.

Today, we’re inviting you to take part in our newest offering, The LA Experience. We’ve personally scouted out the things stars love most: the chicest spas, most fabulous boutiques and the trendiest restaurants. But you won’t need to stand in line or be a celebrity to get in.

Each week, you’ll have access to both live deals that happen in and around LA, and also online deals that bring LA to you, no matter where you live. Each offering will be in two tiers – one, a unique, celeb-worthy experience that’s limited to only a few people (think private consultations with celebrity makeup artists to a seat at the personal table of a celebrity chef); the second, a more accessible deal from the same place that’s still equally LA. We’ll have a new experience available each week and you’ll hear about it in your regular email.

We’re looking forward to sharing one-of-a-kind celeb-worthy experiences with you that only happen in LA. And only on SeenOn. Click here to see our kickoff offer, Red Carpet Ready Skincare from the hottest medi-spa in Beverly Hills. Also, be sure to join us today at 12 pm PT/3 pm ET for a live Facebook Chat, where I’ll answer all your questions about the LA Experience. Just go to SeenOn’s Facebook page and start asking away!

Happy experiencing!

1) How did you get into designing?

My mother and father were both in fashion.  My mom owned a boutique and my father, a senior VP at Sasson jeans, during their heyday in the 80″s…. Being around the industry captivated my imagination. It was a very natural progression for me to finally launch my own company in 2007.

2) I love the functionality of the interchangeable hardware. How did you develop the idea?

One night I was dressing to go out and I did not like how the hardware on my bag looked with the jewelry I had chosen.  I was standing in front of the mirror and said to my husband, ” I wonder why there is not a bag on the market where you can select the color or texture of hardware you prefer and maybe even be able to switch it out, when you get bored?”

He suggested that I do it.  When I raised concerns about the investment required, he assured me by saying, “What better investment could I make than in my wife.”

I will never forget that!  I immediately started.

3) Your bags have been seen in magazines and on the arms of celebs.  What was that first moment that really blew your mind and you thought your line was going to make it?

When I saw photos of Kate Bosworth walking around with my Entrechat Bag in Australia.

She has such a cool style about her.  She never seems  to be afraid of taking a risk or wearing something that is original.  I knew that I was onto something if someone with her sense of fashion had chosen my brand.

4) Tell us about your first bag featured on Gossip Girl? How did that happen and how did being featured on such a style-driven show affect your line?

Eric Daman is an amazing stylist.  He knows how to mix styles in an unpredictable way that is always interesting.  A couple of years ago, I had invited him to a fundraising event that I was involved with.  We hit it off!  Shortly afterwards he began to use our bags on the show.    He has been a great supporter in growing my brand.  I am truly grateful that there are people like Eric out there, fostering new talent.

5) Who else have we seen your bags on and who would you love to see carrying one?

Most of my favorites have already carried a Michelle Vale including  Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz, Kate Beckinsale, Blake Lively, and Kate Bosworth.

I Would love for Jennifer Aniston to have one of our bags.  The Michelle Vale client is a woman who is confident in jeans and a T-shirt, but loves to put on a cocktail dress every once and awhile.  She is effortlessly chic…and always has on one statement piece that is not loud, but is special enough to create a memorable impression.

As a woman with over 1000 pairs of sunglasses (yes, that’s with three zeros), it only made sense for Mary J. Blige to start designing her own. Encouraged by Interscope Records chairman, Jimmy Iovine, Blige paired up with Orange 21 to launch Melodies by MJB this past year.

Up until now, you could only get the shades you’ve seen in Mary’s videos at Nordstroms and Bergdorf Goodman, but today we’ll be offering them to our SeenOn members.

And here’s the kicker – we’ve got the only pair of white “MJs” you’ll find, the same ones worn by Mary and Starshell in the “Superluva” video (below). For 72 hours, we’re offering this exclusive style, along with the “Incognito,” “Red Carpet” and “Showtime.”

Here’s one more kicker (we’re in a good mood today, can you tell?), you’ll get $20 of your next order at SeenOn with any sunglass purchase. So get to styling.

Leeann Carey has been practicing yoga for over 20 years. Launching her own studio in the 80s, Leeann now hosts workshops, leads classes and  helps some of the world’s premier athletes, like L.A. Laker Luke Walton, work on their game by improving their practice.

As part of our New Year, Better You event, we talked to the owner of Leeann Carey Yoga about how to get in shape this year and stay on track.

1) What tips do you have for sticking to new resolutions to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle?

The tips I use for sticking to a healthy lifestyle are maintaining a yoga practice, journaling, and weekend fun.

A yoga practice helps me to listen to my body.

Journaling a short bit about my day  helps me stay in tune to what is and isn’t working, and it reveals both healthy and unhealthy habits.

Having some weekend fun means that I allow myself to eat something that I ordinarily wouldn’t eat every day.

2) What is the single worst habit you see people do that sabotages their exercise and diet program?

Restrictive living!

Moderation is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Living in constant deprivation or pushing unrealistic goals can lead to poor habits and decision-making.

3) What kind of things can our readers do at home for those times they can’t make it outside or to the gym?

When I can’t get out of the house to exercise, I love the Jillian Michaels’ Burning Fat DVD, followed by my own yoga program. I just roll out my yoga mat; all I need is six feet of space in any room in my house.  It’s the perfect combination for a balanced workout.

I feel great afterward!

4) What are some ideas for healthy snacks throughout the day to keep from ‘slipping?’

The healthy snacks I recommend clients eat throughout the day to stay on track with their goal weight are items like 1/4 cup raw, salt-free almonds, 1 stick non-fat string cheese, 1 apple with 1/8 cup organic almond or peanut butter.

Eat mindfully, slowly, and drink lots of water.

5) You’ve been doing yoga for over 20 years, what are the biggest benefits to the practice?

The biggest benefits to the practice is a balance of physical strength and flexibility, mental steadiness, and spiritual awareness.

The physical strength and flexibility are gained through the yoga postures, mental steadiness and alertness come from focusing on my breathing, and spiritual awareness is developed by paying attention to what is happening now.

The Palm Springs International Film Festival kicked off this weekend in the SoCal resort town.  This once little-festival-that-could now draws the biggest stars in Hollywood.

Check out our Red Carpet Fashion photo gallery to see what Natalie Portman, Carey Mulligan, Amy Adams and Rashida Jones were wearing to the gala event (Plus, we’ve thrown in a few shots of the men, because, well, why not).

Our accessories sale today got us thinking about all the different ways to style with scarves and belts (like the ever-creative Nicole Richie).  It’s amazing how something so simple can add so much to your look.

We’ve put together a little how-to guide of our favorite ways to accessorize with these wardrobe superstars.  Check it out, then pick up some great scarves and belts on SeenOn to start accessorizing like a star.

Simple loop seen on Jennifer Aniston: Hold the scarf horizontally in front of you, wrap the ends around the back of your neck and let the tails of each fall forward. Tie in a loose knot.

Knotted ends seen on Rachel Bilson: Tie each end of your scarf, then drape it around the back of your neck, letting each end hang down the front. The weight of the knots will keep it in place.  (Rachel chose to left her’s untied for a more casual look.) 

Kerchief seen on Rihanna: Fold the scarf diagonally so it creates a triangle.  Take the long ends and wrap behind your neck, leaving the pointed end of the triangle hanging in front of you. Tie in a knot behind your neck, or (if the scarf is large) wrap the ends around to the front and tuck underneath the whole of the scarf to hide. (Note: This works best with a square scarf.)

Turtleneck seen on Jessica Alba: With a chunky, rectangular scarf, wrap the ends around the back of your neck then bring forward.  Tighten the scarf, tie in front, then tuck the knot under the scarf so it is hidden and only the ends hang down.  (Note: With even longer scarves, double wrap around your neck like Jessica did here.)

Fake infinity scarf seen on Jessica Alba: The infinity is in right now, but you can make your old scarves work double duty. With a long, rectangular scarf, tie the ends together in a small knot.  Wrap the entire loop around your neck twice, keeping the knot hidden at the knape of your neck.  Adjust to your liking.

The vest, a great idea that we picked from our friend Sydney of The Daybook: Take a long, rectangular scarf and tie in a small knot, drape over your neck letting the front hang down.  Put a belt on over the scarf to define the waist.
