Sex and the City

Glitterati: Agas & Tamar

Come May when the Sex and the City movie finally drops (so soon!), we'll all be coveting the girls' Proenza Schouler vests, Dior heels, and Agas & Tamar jewels.

Come May when the Sex and the City movie finally drops (so soon!), we'll all be coveting the girls' Proenza Schouler vests, Dior heels, and Agas & Tamar jewels.

Agas & Tamar is based out of Tel Aviv and known for its hand-made, Eastern-inspired jewelry. Just in the past six months designer Einat and Tamar opened their first American outpost in Manhattan to display strings of handmade clay beads, rings bearing ancient coins, and roughly-hewn stones.

Costume designer Patricia Field is a huge fan of the line, and bedecked three of the four female stars of Sex and the City: The Movie in Agas & Tamar rings, bracelets, and necklaces. I can't wait to see them!

Hot off the Spring runway comes this Miu Miu Lady Harlequin Bubble Tunic ($1,790). Kirsten Dunst made similarly cartooned tops look Fab in the Miu Miu Spring ad campaign, but do you think the same goes for this one?

Sneak Peek! J.Crew Fall Collection

Spring fever is just now hitting, but behind the scenes, it's all about Fall.

Spring fever is just now hitting, but behind the scenes, it's all about Fall.

The creatives behind J. Crew just presented a preview of their Fall collection, full of the expected bright colors and prints. The collection's inspiration — an artist's muse — was reflected in the ruffled jackets and artsy tees included.

As for the brand's high-end line, the J. Crew Collection, the focus was on hand-beaded jackets and dresses. It all sounds Fab, and right in step with the timeless chic J.Crew does best.

Fab Ad: Sonia Rykiel Spring 2008

Bright colors, luscious frocks, and studded clutches drip from the pages of Sonia Rykiel's Spring ads.

Bright colors, luscious frocks, and studded clutches drip from the pages of Sonia Rykiel's Spring ads. Butterfly barrettes nest in a bed of curls and a troika of eleven models frolic through the park. It's a Sonia Rykiel sunshiney day! I think photographer Serge Leblon created a playground of pretty colors for our eyeballs to feast on — do you agree?

Celebrity Style: Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad was looking both polished and adorable while promoting her line at Holt Renfrew in Canada.

Lauren Conrad was looking both polished and adorable while promoting her line at Holt Renfrew in Canada. She teamed an amethyst high waisted skirt from her Fall collection (naturally) with a black tank, opaque tights, and some hot stilettos. I am definitely still enamored with the high waist trend, especially in the form of a figure flattering skirt. Lauren's exact skirt isn't available to the masses yet, so I chose this gorgeous Vanessa Bruno pleat detail confection instead.

Fab Flash: Amy Winehouse To Be a Cavalli Girl

Amy Winehouse has become quite the unlikely fashion girl: Karl Lagerfeld was inspired by her look for his Chanel Pre-Fall 2008 collection last December and had her perform at a Fendi store opening last month, Vogue Paris did an editorial influenced by her in its February issue (left), and Marc Jacobs also asked her to perform at a Louis Vuitton party during the recent Paris Fashion Week.

Now, reports are saying that Roberto Cavalli is ready to sign a promotional deal with Amy . . . on recommendation of Victoria Beckham. After Posh confessed she loved Winehouse's style, Cavalli is said to have offered Amy a contract under which she would receive his clothes for free if she wore them at high profile events. What do you think about all this fashion obsession with Amy?
