She keeps things fresh by pairing a classic, chunky-knit turtleneck sweater ($29, originally $38) with a berry-hued pair of skinny cords. Over-the-knee boots dress it up, and a pair of oversize sunnies ($6) complete the look with a hint of '70s cool. Click the items above to shop a similar look.

The sexy couple were able to spend last weekend together, since David returned to California on Friday in time to take over care of their boys while she is off on her latest adventure.

>> Balmania is clearly not entirely over. One Miu Miu dress style (two colors) scored at least three fashion magazine covers over the Summer, but in the months since, a Fall 2010 gold Balmain dress — originally worn by Anja Rubik on the runway — is besting the Miu Miu dress twice over, with six covers so far. The Balmain look was first spotted on Abbey Lee Kershaw's August 2010 Vogue Germany cover, and has since been sported on covers by Cindy Crawford, Anna Dello Russo, and Natalia Vodianova. At least one more cover may be on the way — Anne Hathaway is said to be wearing "sparkly gold" Balmain on Elle UK's December 2010 cover.
Between the London Film Fest stars and, well, typical style stars, red carpet to street-chic dazzled. On-trend and on-point, celebs stepped out to to stun — were you paying attention?
>> German magazine Zeit magazin is celebrating its 40th anniversary with 40 different covers featuring Claudia Schiffer, five of which have been released and show Claudia as a protester, a hippie, a prep, a grunger, and a clubber; the rest come out on Thursday. The magazine's editorial director Christoph Amend explained Schiffer as cover choice: "We look back on 40 years of life. As Claudia Schiffer is 40 just now, she was our model for the cover." A video from the shoot, which lasted two days in London, can be seen here.
Fashion's finest flocked to the Spring 2011 Chanel Show at the Grand Palais in Paris, France. We spotted a bevy of incredible ensembles outside of the show and caught up with Rachel Bilson, Vanessa Paradis, and Claudia Schiffer post runway show, who expressed their love for Chanel. Plus, a look at Chanel's 2011 Collection!
We've seen preppy, peppy argyle before, but it's Fall's moody argyle that Claudia Schiffer's sporting that has my full attention at the moment. With a dim color palette, this look is just a little on the darker side — and so Fall-appropriate. Try the classic pattern in deeper shades of purple, blue, forest green, and black for a more serious approach to the prep-school staple.
>> Claudia Schiffer took four months off after having her third child, Cosima, in May, but it seems she's ready to get back to work. While sitting front row at Salvatore Ferragamo over the weekend, she let drop that like Jefferson Hack, she's launching her own fashion line at an event next month. The collection will bow for Winter 2011. [WWD]
