Spring Runway Trend to Buy Now: The Chain-Strap Bag

Sep 28, 2009 @ 10:00 am

At Roberto Cavalli, chain-strap bags made a new style statement when mixed with vintage-style chiffon tea dresses. The bold hardware added just the right amount of edge to the ultra-feminine looks—even more proof that fall’s must-have bag will work for seasons to come!

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Wears Dior for U.S. Tour

Sep 28, 2009 @ 9:30 am

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy packed plenty of French style for her recent trip to America, and all in the form of France’s very own Christian Dior! Bruno-Sarkozy was spotted in five Dior looks, from a belted black sheath at the United Nations headquarters in N.Y.C. to a perfectly penciled grey wool skirt and jacket combo and ladylike cream cashmere suit in Pittsburgh. It seems the former-model-turned-First Lady knows the key to chic, political dressing—wear your country’s own designers!

Runway Look of the Day: Bottega Veneta

Sep 28, 2009 @ 9:25 am

My favorite look from Milan over the weekend was Bottega Veneta’s sporty silk pant and tank paired with a boxy, suede jacket and over-size yellow tote. It looks utterly relaxed and effortless, but the rich fabrics and bold accessories take it to a whole new level of luxe.

Beaded Headbands: Not Just for Weddings!

Sep 28, 2009 @ 2:00 am

If a bejeweled headband gives you scary visions of pearls and lace and bridesmaids—think again. Celebrities like Jordana Brewster and Eva Mendes have been sporting pretty, sophisticated versions that we’ve been lusting after. The key to rocking Jordana’s look? A soft textured updo in the back keeps the style from feeling too formal.
