Fashion Flash

Fab Flash: Gwyneth Paltrow, Dennis Hopper, and Tod's Make a (Mini) Movie

This week the Cannes Film Festival kicks off — yay!

This week the Cannes Film Festival kicks off — yay! We're super excited to see what everyone will be wearing in the fabulous south of France. But it's really all about the movies that will be debuting.

Here's a short film that sounds right up our alley: Directed by actor and director Dennis Hopper, and featuring Gwyneth Paltrow, we see a day in the life of the blond fashion star in Italy with her Tod's Pashmy bag. Hopper happens to be old friends with Tod's chief executive officer Diego Della Valle (who knew?) and the four-minute film will debut at Cannes and then play on the Tod's website. Sounds like a fun little project to me.

Love It or Hate It

Sex and the City Movie London Premiere: Sarah Jessica Parker

Hip hip, hooray! It's the London premiere of the Sex and the City movie and our favorite lady is naturally dressed to the nines.

Hip hip, hooray! It's the London premiere of the Sex and the City movie and our favorite lady is naturally dressed to the nines. Sarah Jessica Parker's larger than life hat would have made Isabella Blow tear up. The roses and butterflies might be too much for the streets, but on the red carpet, they're Fab-u-lous. The pistachio green hue of her McQueen dress washes SJP out just a tad, but she's Carrie, so she can pull off anything!

Trend Alert

Trend Alert: Pretty Parasol

As the sun continues to shine stronger and stronger (global warming, hello) we must think about ways to protect our skin.

As the sun continues to shine stronger and stronger (global warming, hello) we must think about ways to protect our skin. While sunblock and hats are great, why not shake things up a bit with a pretty parasol? At the Spring shows, an Anna Sui model swirled a turquoise and black parasol that matched the models' outfit. Tracy Reese did the same with her oversized and lighthearted parasols. While you don't have to go the same matchy matchy route, consider investing in one parasol that will generally go with all the contents of your closet.

Sex and the City Style, Season 3

Sex and the City season three.
Sex and the City Style, Season 3

Sex and the City season three. Enter Aidan, Trey MacDougal and hot LA nights. I loved the LA trip! OK, season three may have been my fave, not season two. I really loved Samantha's vibrant style in this season, and she had some really good one liners ("funky spunk"). Miranda even starts to wear more color and play with accessories. As for Charlotte, she finally gets to wear the grandest gown of all: her wedding dress. Ups and downs were the way of the game this season, and it was riveting.
