![]() Leyendecker Dress $330.00 Shopbop | Every woman feels special when wearing their 'little black dress'. Why not feel extra special wearing this chic eco-friendly 'Jackson' jersey dress by Leyendecker. Besides the eco-chicness of this dress, I'm loving the contrasting trim and the vertical pintucks detail it has. And the dress done in jersey fabric, I bet it will be comfortable wearing it. If you're in an extra 'green' mood, pair this dress with this vegan 'Pippa' pumps by Natalie Portman for Te Casan. Now, not only you look fabulous, mother nature would to!

I attended a few parties this summer and witnessed not once but at least three times on different occasions, one of the worst involuntary and unintentional fashion blunder women can fall prey to... someone wearing the exact dress you have on! With more and more women getting fashion savvier each day, the chances of seeing your dress' evil twin gracing the same social engagement you RSVP to are pretty high. Not to mention, the time and money invested to feel and look extra special loses some of it's value.
My advice to prevent such melancholic fashion faux pas? Know how to incorporate the season's trends to your style. Keyword is 'incorporate', a head to toe look with all of the season's trends makes you look like a walking trend list. Think vintage - an homage to vintage or vintage inspired fashions are always a hit when styled right. Shop for interesting and fresh silhouettes. And most importantly, remember it's you who make fashion happen not the other way around.
I came across these dresses from French Connection, I think they are so chic and elegant. Use them for inspirational references or buy one for your next soiree!

I have to admit, Trench Coats were never a part of my wardrobe. They are bulky, to much going on and thought the style was a bit 'old' for me. But lately, I've been seeing a few trench coats that have been updated well suited for today's trends and style. One update in particular that made me reconsider adding a trench coat in my closet is the shorter trench coats. It's amazing how something as simple like shortening the length of a trench coat can give it a modern and trendy look.
With that, I'm considering to own my first trench coat ever this fall. And so far, here are my options, they are way above my budget but I think I saved enough to splurge on one.

Lacing up knee-high boots can be frustrating at times. So why would want to triple that frustration with this Triple Lace-Up Boot by Ann Demeulemeester. This punk chic boot has to be the only boot that made me tired just by looking at it. I also don't like the Frankenstein-ish look it has. Don't get me wrong, I love punk inspired looks but when a certain look starts to become more tedious to achieve then it's not for me. Besides styles and looks should seem effortless. In fairness, I do like the flat mid-calf single lace-up boot version of this.

When I got home from work today, the October issue of W Magazine was waiting for me. "Wow! Flawless. Fierce," I heard myself say at the first sight of Anne Hathaway on the cover wearing a white Dior Haute Couture dress, her hair and make-up reminiscent of mythological goddesses.

W Magazine's interview with Anne Hathaway was a fabulous read! The article 'Queen Anne' is a rare after-break-up interview with Hathaway (she recently split with 4-year boyfriend Raffaello Follieri). The press and media had a relentless field day with their breakup.
But the article doesn't focus on the recent scandal, rather it explores the multi-faceted actress whom we adored in the 'Princess Diaries,' the wife we admired and emphatized with in 'Brokeback Mountain' and the woman for whom we rooted and wanted to be in 'The Devil Wears Prada.'
Marc Jacobs Dress Alexander McQueen Cape Chanel Couture Dress
The October W Magazine feature on Hathaway is the best celebrity fashion spread I've seen all year! Haute Couture from Chanel and Alexander McQueen, gown by Dolce & Gabbana and the Marc Jacobs dress are simply divine. Bravo, W! And Anne...You Go, Girl!'

Sneakers are becoming more than the summer footwear of choice for men. Athletic shoe manufacturers like Puma and Reebok now offer fashion-forward designs and trendy styles. Top designer brands Dolce & Gabanna, Christian Dior and Gucci expanded and developed their sneaker designs in response to the increasing preference and popularity of sneakers amongst their male clientele.
This fall, metallic sneakers are the hot! Expect to see a lot of guys sporting edgy and stylish pairs in the gym, at parties and specially in the clubs. But a word of caution for the guys, don't wear them everyday or every time you're out dancing with your posse. I say this because, you'll definitely get noticed and complimented wearing your new Gucci Metallic Gold sneaker, but don't expect the same response on the third consecutive Saturday night you've worn them. Try on different style pairings and looks that coordinates well with metallic sneakers. And you don't have to wear sneakers that are solid metallic. Sneakers with metallic details would work as well.

Betsey Johnson Spring 2009, NY Fashion Week 2008 (Photos Courtesy of Style.com).
With inspirations like Peter Pan and Captain Jack Sparrow, Betsey Johnson Spring 2009 was like attending a Caribbean themed wedding. Models with bowler hats wearing hoop-skirted dresses, ruffles, corsets and bathing suits done in bright colors. The latter half of the show was a series of all-white dresses and gowns, perfect for those brides who wants a non-traditional wedding. I personally admire Betsey Johnson for not taking fashion so seriously which is apparent in every collection she creates. You know she enjoys making fabulous fashion through her designs!

This color block dress with an empire waist, plated V-neck bodice, cut-outs on both sides, an open back and available in Black, Black/Creme with Green or Cobalt band, Black/Bronze with a Bone band, White/Ash with a Yellow band combination is certainly an eye-catching, red carpet worthy frock. No wonder celebs don't care if another celeb wore the exact same dress they are wearing today, yesterday.
And during my research, seems like every retailer carries this dress which is a great thing if you like comparison shopping. I did find some sells the dress a few dollars less than others. Here are the places you can find Black Halo's Jackie O Cut-Out dress:

A key color trend this fall are rich, deep shades of purple and plum. Purple gives that crisp, elegant and refined look to any fashion apparel, shoe and accessory. Just be careful not to be a victim of purple overload. A head to toe look done in different shades of purple or plum is a big fashion disaster. I suggest, two pieces from your head to look in purple is sufficient. For example, if you're wearing a plum dress then the other item in purple should be your earrings or your handbag. You don't want to look like barney do you?
Feel like splurging? Expect only the chicest and trendiest purple apparel and accessories from top designers like Proenza Schouler, Versace and Prada. Here are my top finds that reigns the purple spectrum this fall.

I've been raving about Alice + Olivia for Payless Shoes since the press release last year. And been following the fabulous collaboration ever since. Stacey Bendet is definitely making a statement with this collection, that her design aesthetics are in tact and will never be compromised and expect the same chic and trendy designs she does for Alice + Olivia and in collaborative work. My favorite from the Alice + Olivia for Payless Fall 2008 Collection, is the Jane Back Zip Boot (shown left) . This boot has all the 'smarts'! The edgy modern design is so chic and priced only for $48.00. You can also find a couple of wedges that I absolutely adore. I can rant about the collection all day but I rather let the shoes speak for themselves. I love you, Stacey Bendet!

Christian Louboutin is perhaps the best and the most important fashion footwear designer. His 
mastership of old world cobblery combined his passion for fashion has produced chic, elegant shoes and some considered as works of art. Then, I came accross this pair of men's evening pumps. My reaction was shocked and pondered on the question, if a guy liked to wear shoes that looks like women's shoes; why not step it up a notch and wear women's shoes that are chic and fashionable. I'm sure you'll find a pair or two from one of Louboutin's collection

Doo.ri is undeniably talented and one of the most sought after woman's apparel designer today and a personal favorite of mine. But even the best do falter every now and then. This satin tie neck dress by Doo.ri looks matronly and the silhouette is unflattering. And the back profile gets worst because of the stitching added that gives the illusion of having a heavy rump. Sorry Doo.ri you're gulity of this week's crime of fashion.

| Cycle 11 of America's Next Top Model premiered last night on CW. The futuristic theme in the beginning with Alpha Jay, Beta Jay and Tyra-Bot was a little to much for me. But other than that, I think this will be another great season! Reason I say that, last season we were there to see the fabulous Whitney ( first plus size model ) winning the most coveted reality modeling competition on t.v. today. And this year can be another history making season for Ms. Tyra's search for america's next top model. We might witness the first transgender to be hailed as the winner and her name is Isis. | ![]() Cycle 10 winner Whitney Thompson |
![]() | As much as I want to give a couple of the contestants a piece of my mind on what they said about Isis, I'll be the better person and not even mention their names and don't go ballistic on them. Let's just call them 'Hater One' and 'Hater Two'. Hater One, said and I quote: "She ( Isis ) has no place in this competition". Hater Two tried intimidating Isis during her photo shot by saying: "Isis you better shave your legs" and "Look at you, you're sweating..." So, I'll leave it at that and my dear readers please comment if you may regarding this remarks. I believe in Karma, the contestants better be careful what they do to each other. Because Karma is a bitch! Look what happened to one of the 'Haters', she ain't America's Next Top Model after all. (Photos Credits: CWTV.com and America's Next Top Model) |

Classic luxury apparel is the best words to describe James Perse. I love the simple yet chic and elegant designs they have to offer. And the subtle luxury that you can find on their garments like cashmere and wool. I have a few friends that are big James Prse fans, these are my friends who prefer not to have any type of branding or labels on the clothes they wear because they don't want to give free advertising, yada, yada, yada. I'm sure you can relate. But I still love my good ol' friends for that.
James Perse offers men's, women's and kids apparel ( so cute and adorable! ). Price points are affordable with pieces under $100.00 and up to $675.00. I have the slim fit shirts that are just perfect for work and the pajamas that I wear every night. James Pearse apparel scores high on The Smart Stylist's must-have fashions list.
