Having a Moment: Fuchsia

The color might seem like something you find on tropical prints or Summer dresses, but the color is ripe for Fall, and it's giving red a run for its money as the sexiest color to wear.

The color might seem like something you find on tropical prints or Summer dresses, but the color is ripe for Fall, and it's giving red a run for its money as the sexiest color to wear. We saw it on the Fall 2011 runways at Gucci and Bottega Veneta, and now we're seeing it pop up on the red carpet and in stores. Freida Pinto looked stunning in a custom-made Salvatore Ferragamo dress, Sarah Jessica Parker has sported her fuchsia jacket with jeans and for evening with a leather jacket, and Olivia Wilde wore fuchsia shoes with her J. Mendel dress. We found some great fuchsia pieces to add to your wardrobe instead of the more traditional red.

Halloween Costume Idea: Iconic Photographer Bill Cunningham

Bill Cunningham is a fashion fixture — and the cutest photographer we know.

Bill Cunningham is a fashion fixture — and the cutest photographer we know. With his documentary, aptly titled Bill Cunningham New York, released earlier this year, Bill and his signature blue jacket are high on the pop culture radar, and for good reason. He's been capturing street style for the New York Times since the '70s. We think this would make for a totally unique, ultracomfortable, and ultimately functional costume (everyone will want you to take their pic!). Want to be Bill? Click the links to shop.
