Which Victoria Beckham Halloween Costume Is Most Fab?

Syke! These are not Victoria Beckham's Halloween costume contenders — but they sure could be!

Syke! These are not Victoria Beckham's Halloween costume contenders — but they sure could be! These are a sampling from an upcoming photo shoot which takes you through Paris and Posh's fashion imagination. Something has to be said for her sharp angles and cool attitude — I just can't hate someone so fierce. But we all know deep down she's just a British bird poking fun at herself, right? Right? You be the judge, and be nice, this is funky high fashion we're talking about!

Stella McCartney

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Stella McCartney

Stella has swept me off my vintage sandals — this hasn't happened for a few seasons with her.

Stella has swept me off my vintage sandals — this hasn't happened for a few seasons with her. I don't know if it's the overall hippie feel, the flowing watercolor prints or the sharp, yet soft, khaki tailoring, but her Spring collection is beautifully feminine.

With the lightweight touch that is Stella, her flower ladies were also in the company of easy breezy girls in neutrals and blues. A cool paisley print was also lovely, as were the ruffles, crochet details and some slight Native American beading on the accessories — love. It was also sleepy time, with silky soft dresses and separates resembling both womens and menswear pajamas, but her strong tailoring nipped any overly ethereal feel in the bed, I mean, bud! My one gripe: just say no to onesies! Stella obviously has a soft spot for them and I do not concur.

All of this beauty was set against a "vertical vegetal wall" created by botanist Patrick Blanc. As you all know, Stella is a vegetarian designer with a purpose.

Love It or Hate It? Blinged-Out Lips at John Galliano

Love It or Hate It? Blinged-Out Lips at John Galliano Ah, John Galliano, that master of minimalism. Seriously, how does he manage to turn out such understated looks time after time? For instance, at his fashion show in Paris, you could barely tell that his models wore any makeup at all. The eyeliner? Barely perceptible. The crystals glued to lips? Very low-key. And don't get me started on that clean, bouncy hair.

How would you like to have another designer handbag option?

Get ready, Bill Blass is filling your order: the house is planning to start making handbags, small leather goods, and cosmetics cases for Fall 2008. There will be two categories, a high-end collection called Bill Blass, and then Collection Bill Blass, both inspired by the ready-to-wear collection's season themes. The accessories are set to retail from $295-$795, with designer pieces starting at $1,000.

Miranda Priestley would be proud...Pat Field dressed her in Bill Blass often for The Devil Wears Prada!

Ok, Hayden just made my casual cute dog walking outfits seem really drab.

Ok, Hayden just made my casual cute dog walking outfits seem really drab. Leave it to the budding fashionista to make walking the dogs look hot. First the golden glamour gown, now this sleek black get-up. She can't leave the house to walk the dogs without her cool Rebecca Minkoff handbag...the mark of a true fashionista.

Crave Worthy: Missoni Limited Edition Fragranced Candle I've been very impressed by the home offerings from luxe fashion label Missoni, and this Missoni Limited Edition Fragranced Candle ($150) is definitely a stylish indulgence. The sunrise-shaded design plays off of Missoni's classic textile designs, and the candle gives off a floral fragrance based on the label's perfume scent. I can't help but love it, and this would be a great gift for all of the fashion junkies I know.

Burberry Ashcombe Clutch: Love It or Hate It?

What girl can resist a smattering of big jewels?

What girl can resist a smattering of big jewels? Not too many I know. This Burberry Ashcombe Clutch, $620, is making me have second thoughts, though, which is quite the accomplishment. There's no rhyme or reason to the way the jewels are placed, and there's a little too much silver for my taste, between the gems, the hardware, and the top of the clutch. What about you, are you a fan?

Louis Vuitton

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Louis Vuitton

Just in time for Halloween, Marc Jacobs has a naughty nurse costume for you.

Just in time for Halloween, Marc Jacobs has a naughty nurse costume for you. And that's just the beginning of a slightly mad, slightly amazing, Spring Louis Vuitton collection.

Inspired by both the artist Richard Prince, see the nurses and the accessories, and SpongeBob SquarePants, see the colors, it's no wonder Jacobs churned out another crazed collection. For those of you who remember his New York hodgepodge of clothes, for Louis Vuitton he had a similar scatterbrained vibe. There was some sheer energy — all the way up to the top of models' heads with sheer headpieces. And while some looks appeared to be deconstructed prom dresses of yore, his other plays with fabrics — Lurex knits, tweed, sequins — were a delight. There was a mess of accessories, from statement jewelry to questionable handbags and gloves.

If you ask me, some of this mess is wearable and scream funky editorial fare, as for the rest, not so much.
