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.

We know you all will be keeping a keen eye on the fashion tonight at the Academy Awards. Why not take it one step further and have your eye on Oscar fashion all year round?

These gorgeous original works of art, which are 9×12 and drawn on painter’s paper,  are one-of-a-kind pieces of Oscar history – yours for the taking, only on SeenOn. Start shopping here.

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.

Back in 2009, costume designer Jennifer Bryan got the call for a new show starting up called the Vampire Diaries. Fast forward two years later, and she’s clothing the hottest cast on TV today.

We pulled up a chair and talked with the woman responsible for putting the Salvatore brothers in those leather jackets, about the show, the characters and where you can find Elena and Bonnie’s clothes.

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.
