I confess I wasn't very fair to Anne Hathaway when I decided to explore her fashion metamorphosis. I thought I would be greeted by a fashion war zone when going back through the actress's history. The proof is in the pictures that Anne has always had a sense for fashion, but she has undoubtedly come into her own as of late. I cringed a couple times, usually around circa late '90s, but then again, all of us have cringe-worthy photos stashed somewhere. But come on, her wardrobe in The Devil Wears Prada won over all naysayers. One thing to note is that the menswear trend Anne has dabbled with lately is nothing she's unaccustomed to — she previously wore suits and even a tie on some red carpets. Most significantly, this enlightened me to the fact that Anne hasn't turned her back on any trend; she has accomplished sexy, innocent, girlie, and fashion-forward. I think we have a well-rounded risk taker on our hands!

Shoe aficionados unite. Right now, Coclico is offering up to 30 percent off the likes of Tashkent, Chie Mihara, and Argila, to name a few.
I pounced when I saw these Coclico Fuchsia Flattery Thong Sandals ($175, originally $250) on sale. These flats would go perfect with just about anything and who am I to resist the recent bout of fuchsia fever?
I've got a serious soft spot for beautiful people — ahem, Julia Stegner, Malgosia and Javier de Miguel — lounging around in gorgeous clothes surrounded by moody shadows. Remember Valentino's Robert Palmer-esque Fall ads? Loved 'em. With a new design team on tap, Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi of 6267, I expect we'll be seeing more fabulousness from this Italian fashion house. Don't you wish you could just lounge around with these folks? All the limbs, flowing hair, dark clothes and strong accessories are super seductive. The images were supposed to convey a '40s scenario, but I see something set more in the power-fueled '80s. Do you want to join this lounge party?
2009 Couture: Christian Dior and Giorgio Armani
Things are getting haute in Paris this week, as the famous fashion houses show off their couture offerings. First up: Giorgio Armani and Christian Dior. Fab loved Dior's dresses, and I'm a fan of the models' beautiful hair and makeup.
Hussein Chalayan is stepping up his game. The designer, who was recently acquired by French multinational holding company and named Puma's creative director, unveiled a selection of footwear at the showing of his 2009 Spring pre-collection in Milan.
But wait, there's more. Chalayan will create an expansive footwear set to launch in Fall/Winter of 2009. Look forward to seeing some creative confections!
Last weekend I skated my heart out at a roller-disco party. It was so fun! And no, I didn't fall! Not once. I asked you to help me find a retro-cute look along the lines of bold colors, sequins, and skin. Thanks to you, I was the sweetest rockin' diva there.
Nicky Hilton was spotted leaving The Ivy restaurant after a day of shopping with sister Paris. Her casual yet stylish outfit, which consisted of skinny jeans, tall black boots and an Alice + Olivia military blazer, was perfect for the occasion.
