It was love at first sight when I saw this white sheath dress with fur back in Giambattista Valli's Fall show. I thought model Tanya D. lent much-needed delicateness to it. Seeing it now on Victoria Beckham, I can't say that I love it as much. There's no doubt the dress is still stunning and visionary, but I think Posh's features are too blunt for such a dainty dress. And her stiff posing doesn't help. What do you say? Do you love or hate Victoria in Valli?
If you thought Michelle Obama's teal Maria Pinto sheath was Fab, get a load of her in Thakoon. When was the last time we saw a lady of politics in a print? And, a neckline with some flair? As well, you all know I love the red and purple color combination so I'd love this dress on anyone. But not just anyone wore it last night at the Democratic National Convention. This choice doesn't come as surprise to fashion followers.
Not only was Michelle on Vanity Fair's International Best Dressed list this year, she has been wearing an interesting mix of designers like Isabel Toledo, Tom Binns, and White House Black Market — she is playing the fashion field. This Summer she attended a fund-raiser in her honor in New York where fashion folks Zac Posen, Iman, Tory Burch, Catherine Malandrino, and many more sang praise to the potential First Lady. But this Thakoon Resort printed sheath is stellar; it's unique, festive, and professional. Her minimal jewelry is a must with such a stand-alone dress and her black patent flats have Jackie O written all over them.

How lovely to see the philanthropic Reese Witherspoon on this Friday. The actress fulfilled Avon global ambassador duties in a girlie navy blue halter ruffle dress, paired with gorgeous blue satin Christian Louboutins. It's a fitting choice for the charity event and goes perfectly with Reese's sweet personality. To add some shine, the actress accessorized with gold bracelets and small gold hoops.
From public hissy fits to making magazine history, Naomi Campbell never ceases to surprise. Next on tap for this turbulent supermodel: clothing design. Campbell is rumored to have inked a deal with 284, a new clothing line from the Sao Paolo-based retailer Daslu.
Her collection is described as one made for strong women. Fellow supermodel Kate Moss has been so successful with her Topshop line, so let's cross our fingers for Naomi!
As we embark on another fashion season — Spring '09 here we come! — I have to make sure you've all seen what I've seen. There's always so much to see. Whether handbags, shoes, or everything in between are your weaknesses, get ready to take a shine to jewelry and intricate detailing. One could argue Fall's clothes are more austere, as to serve as a backdrop for conversational bling. Raid your grandma's jewelry box and your local vintage stores, now. What really made my eyeballs pop out of my head? Pucci's Kryptonite clutch. Crazy, huh? Gotta love it.
Audrina Patridge looked cute and casual meeting Lo Bosworth to film upcoming scenes for The Hills in LA. Her acid washed jeans added some spunk to a basic look that consisted of cap-toe ballet flats and a white tank.
