Hello There, Paris Fashion Week!

Oct 1, 2009 @ 2:00 pm

Ever since Carrie Bradshaw took her famously stylish trip during the final season of Sex and the City, our love affair with Paris has blossomed and now we rely on the City of Lights for chic wardrobe ideas (hello black-and-white!). Luckily, Paris Fashion Week is here and you can get in on the glamour just like you did for those unforgettable SATC episodes—from home! Some of our favorite French designers are giving you a virtual front row seat, including Alexander McQueen whose show will be live-streamed on Tuesday at 2:30pm EST at alexandermcqueen.com. Then Wednesday at 8:30am EST, you can watch Marc Jacobs’s newest collection for Louis Vuitton live from their Facebook page and maybe even catch a glimpse of Lady Gaga!

Check back daily for new runway collections, stars and trends from Paris Fashion Week.

We’re Obsessed!

Oct 1, 2009 @ 12:00 pm

I’d like to introduce you to our latest and greatest feature: We’re Obsessed! It’s a daily shrine to the drool-worthy clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry that have our editors going gaga. Megan Deem, InStyle‘s Fashion Features Editor, loves these multi-colored jeweled Louboutins in part because a “super-stylish” friend declared them “outfit-makers”. I couldn’t agree more—stars like Nicole Richie, Katy Perry and Sarah Jessica Parker have all been spotted wearing Louboutin’s glittery pumps to amp up their red-carpet looks. It looks like we just discovered their next (and even more fabulous) go-to shoe!

Victoria Beckham Puts Designer William Tempest on the Fashion Map

Oct 1, 2009 @ 11:00 am

Last night, Victoria Beckham stepped out in Hollywood to celebrate the launch of husband David’s line for the Adidas Originals collection. An event hosted by a sports brand would be the perfect excuse to keep it casual, but Victoria pulled out all the style stops in a dramatic little black dress by British designer William Tempest and purple Brian Atwood platform heels. We hear that Beckham discovered the 24-year-old Tempest when she attended the Fashion Fringe Spring 2010 showcase of emerging designers at London Fashion Week. Since she single-handedly sparked the Roland Mouret revival and has everyone from Leighton Meester to Heidi Klum wearing her own label, we expect it won’t be long until we’re spotting other fashion A-listers wearing Tempest’s structured dresses on the red carpet.

Get Eva Mendes and Sienna Miller’s Ralph Lauren Shades

Oct 1, 2009 @ 9:00 am

We loved Eva Mendes‘s classic over-size Ralph Lauren shades when she wore them in Italy over the summer, but when style-setter Sienna Miller was spotted in N.Y.C. wearing the pink version, we had to get the scoop! The wire frames come in light gold and bronze and for the more fashion-forward—fuchsia and turquoise! Olivia Wilde and Julianne Moore have been spotted in the shades too. Take a cue from Mendes and use them as a headband for double the style.

Ralph Lauren Collection Sunglasses, $190; call 646-638-0684.

Bobbi Brown’s Chic Charity FEED Bag

Oct 1, 2009 @ 12:00 am

If you loved the FEED bag craze of 2007 as much as we did, we have good news: this month at Bloomingdale’s Lauren Bush has partnered with Bobbi Brown on the FEED 10 Pouch—an adorable makeup bag stocked with Bobbi’s all-time favorite glosses, Petal, Rose Sugar, and Aubergine. The best part? You can feel good about the purchase, since the sale of each pouch will provide ten woman with food through the United Nations World Food Program. Since supplies are limited, we’re rushing to get ours now—and predicting we will see celebs using it as a clutch all fall long.
