LV Afro's

Really, Marc?

Never failing to astonish the crowds, Marc Jacobs sent massive, flaming afro's down the runway for Louis Vuitton. It's quirky, it's fresh, it's new...but I'm just not diggin' it.

Keep on Piling

Fellow fashionistas, spotted today in the elite NY Magazine-a great blurb about the new bracelet layering trend along with this glitzy photo:

See? I would never steer you wrong ;)

Go Chunky

One of my favorite fall trends that started about two seasons ago is still going strong for this season. Chunky sweaters may sound blah, but in the right color and paired with the right boots they are super chic!

For this season, some of my favorite brands are Haute Hippie, Elizabeth & James, Vince and Ella Moss. But do not worry, for every chunky designer piece there is an equally as cute piece at Forever21. Here are some of my faves:

Haute Hippie Scarf Sweater ($395)

Ella Moss Raleigh Sweater ($209)

Forever 21 Sweater Scarf Sleeveless Cardigan ($27.80)

Forever 21 Cap Sleeve Cable Cardigan ($22.80)

Fall Vixen

A streetstyle pic of a girl from Stockholm, I love her look!

So easy to achieve, just pair any dark piece of denim with:

Fluxus Deep V-Neck ($69)

Alice & Olivia Faux Fur Jacket ($385)

Currently, Express has a jacket on sale that looks just like the Alice & Olivia one! Leopard always goes in and out of style and right now it is most definitely IN.

Romance in the Air at Valentino

Valentino definitely took a new route for the spring 2010 season and critics are loving it! Huge ruffles, soft pastels and a overall romantic sense of femininity were all on display. My favorite part is the use of miniature lace designs as well as the fragile use of small sequins, so beautiful.

Cut it Out!

With the rocker look pushing the boundaries more than ever before, we now have the cut-out trend. Now, I don't particularly obsess over this trend. Why? Well because with pants or leggings, it can look totally tacky if not executed correctly. Though when it comes to dresses and shoes, a little unexpected flash of skin is very a la mode.

Here are some promo pics of the trend from shopbop.com:

If you really love the torn legging/jean look I say do it yourself! It's super easy and worth the trouble of dropping cash on anything that has already been sliced and diced.

Miss Palermo

I have to say, there's a unique way of pulling off sophistication, style and sexiness that only a few ladies really know how to do. Olivia Palermo is one of them. I absolutely love her way of putting pieces together & she is always dressed to the nine's. She's also great at incorporating trends yet keeping her look classic & timeless. Here are some of my favorite looks from her:

Now only if Miss Palermo could be a little nicer to those poor little girls on The City....

Who am I kidding, her attitude makes that show worth watching.

Celebrating 90 Years of Vogue

Famous vintage Vogue covers will be covering the streets of the Champs Elysees in Paris for the month of October. FABULOUS. Wish the exhibit would still be there in January, but I still think its great. Happy 90th Vogue!

Only for the Daring

If you're a confident gal and feeling exceptionally fierce, you might want to rock this trend:

That's right, multiple watches! Crazy but I kind of love it.

McQueen's Theory of Evolution

I am literally DYING for Alexander McQueen's show from Paris today.

He's done it again! The British designer put on the craziest, most intricate, out of this world show and fashionistas are rejoicing around the globe.

Calling it "Plato's Atlantis," the designer mixed fantasy & legend to create his theory of evolution in 30 dresses. You have to see it for yourself it is just too good/crazy/amazing/avant garde for words. Be sure to check out the shoes, so original I cannot handle it.

Home on the Range: Chanel Style

As the kaiser himself, Karl Lagerfeld exclaimed to reporters this morning at Chanel's 2010 Spring Ready to Wear show: "I spent part of my childhood on a farm." Of course you did Karl, and although you've come quite a ways we still love you for it. The show featured a real life barn too!

Definitely the chicest farm to ever exist. Ever.

Models sashayed down the "barn"way to the melodies of Lily Allen performing live within the Grand Palais. The NY Times called the theme: modern Marie Antoinette. Thrilling! Check out some of my fave looks:

All hail to kaiser Karl.

Military Style

Nothing looks more clean cut and posh than the new military jackets for fall. I love ones with gold buttons, they scream prim and proper! Balmain started this trend last year and since then it has tricked down into the mainstream brands. Embellishments are a plus!

Add this detailed piece to your look to complete any outfit. Pair it with a dress to look extra chic.

Here is an original design from Balmain, the ulimate high fashion investment:

Alice & Olivia, a more contemporary brand regularly worn by celebs, debuted this look ($550):

Here are some great classic pieces from Forever21:
