Reasons we love leather: We have been on a leather jacket binge for months (seven total), Barneys's Simon Doonan and Julie Gilhart cheekily taught us how to wear it, we know how to prevent it from wrinkling — we're just leather McLovin'. And we know everyone else is feeling the love when good girls like Emmy Rossum bust out in a black leather bustier dress by Ina Soltani. Damn, girl. We asked you how you liked a Marc by Marc leather dress this Summer; how do you feel about the leather dress now?
You probably had a ball guessing who dressed up for Halloween — that one was kinda hard! I'm here to keep the costume fun going and going. We showed you a myriad of costume ideas, but the best part of the process is wearing your creation and it coming to life. Have a flip through some of the most Fab costumes I could find; some are sweet, some are sexy, some are shocking. Kate Beckinsale and her devilish clan are all of the above. Oh, and you're probably wondering where the dark queen of Halloween herself, Heidi Klum, is — she has her own slideshow on its way.
After taking a five-year hiatus from advertising, Alexander McQueen relaunched his campaign efforts with his Fall '08 collection. I've always fancied mythical forest nymphs, so naturally, I was drawn to his whimsical theme. The design mastermind cast model Alice Gibb to play in his Gothic-inspired ad shot by Craig McDean. Gibb portrays a beautiful forest nymph in a huge bird's nest. Her silk and organza lace dress is beyond amazing and I love how her fiery red hair looks tangled in the nest. The contrast of her milky skin tone against the dark backdrop is perfection. What do you think?
Liquid leggings are hard to pull off but knicoleg makes it look easy. The key, as shown here, is to keep the rest of your look super simple. A white tee, black jacket, and flats — perfecto. She's certainly living la vida leggings! Oh, and I dig the fancy mirror frame.

Caftans can be highly exotic. Mary-Kate Olsen practically lives in them. But this Anna Sui Mixed Prints V-Neck Caftan ($944) takes exotic to a whole other level. I love the sheer fabric and dark colors. It's the contrast side panels and volume that are throwing me off. A petite girl would especially get lost in so much fabric. What do you think about it? Does it rock your world, or is it better left unworn?
When I saw Rachel Roy's Spring '09 presentation last month, it was love. She crafts delectable, exotic clothes. It wasn't surprising, then, that she was very sweet when we met her at the opening of Chanel's Mobile Art Pavilion. She was modeling her clothes — not Chanel — head-to-toe, except for her stockings. Her toes must have been freezing, but her white banded shoes made a fresh statement. Her little black crystal bag added some baby bling. Overall, a very fun look. Here are a couple Rachel tidbits . . .
What is your favorite city to shop in?
"Ooh, good question! You know what? I like shopping in little, small random towns. Vintage. Because they aren’t picked over by designers like New York is. And that’s the truth. When I go and visit my grandmother and other relatives I like to do vintage there and I usually find amazing things."
Whose style do you admire?
"Lauren Davis. And other women that aren’t afraid to dress how they want as opposed to ending up on someone’s best dressed. I think usually they end up looking chic."
In this week's Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf demonstrates that there's nothing like a red sparkly dress to make you stand out at a party. Although her exact Marchesa dress isn't available online, this one is quite similar.
