16 New York Fashion Week, Fall 2010: 10 Reasons to Love Cynthia Steffe
She's always a step ahead of us — at least on the runway. Fashion designer Cynthia Steffe is used to the cameras snapping away at her collections, but she recently let the shutterbugs from Country Living into her home away from home in the Catskills of New York. Not surprisingly, the farmhouse turned chic cottage is a fabulous mixture of antique finds with cozy comforts. It's got me itching to Read more
New York Fashion Week is now in its fifth day, and hundreds of looks have already come down the runways. But though all the hair and makeup is undoubtedly cool, only a few looks will actually translate from the runway to your office or next date. To help you get on-trend fast, I've gathered the 15 prettiest, easiest to create looks from the shows so far. Which ones will you be wearing? Read more
Cynthia Steffe has given us more reasons to love its feminine offerings. For Fall '10, creative director Shaun Kearney dreamed up a collection of buttery soft leather, tweed, and delicate silk. Taking on a feminine aviation-inspired theme, he created shift dresses, flirty skirts, and bombers reminiscent of a modern day Amelia Earhart. Thigh-high tights, tweed, and wool also lent a sweet Read more
I think I've died and gone to fashion heaven. OK, that might be a little dramatic, but I am utterly in love with this twisted sister. At first glance, these intricate embellishments might look like ruching, but look closer; intricate folds and knots are tied and twisted to pure perfection. In fact, Victoria Beckham was recently spotted in Milan donning my dream Burberry trench. Speaking Read more
No visible makeup is officially a makeup trend: at Rachel Comey, BCBG, and Cynthia Steffe, the models have all gone seemingly bare. In fact, Lisa Butler, the makeup artist at the BCBG show, said, "It’s all about the individual. The look is finished, but not made up." She only used mascara, mineral foundation, and lip conditioner. It's simple but very pretty. What do you think? Will you be Read more
Ever since designer Cynthia Steffe left her namesake brand in December 2006, the label has been going through an identity crisis. But today, after a full year on the job, creative director and executive vice president of design Shaun Kearney has taken the brand in a sophisticated direction. "The contemporary market as a whole is much more sophisticated and edgy than it once was," said Kearney. Read more

Sadly, not all of us can pull off this Armani Prive tonal black strapless gown. But all can be inspired by its two toned appeal. A bit Jekyll, and a bit Hyde, these pieces deliver some style surrealism. The effect spans clothes and accessories, so choose to be dramatic, be Klum. The adventurer in me has been eyeing this Marc by Marc Jacobs "Twinsie" Cardigan ($268). Not only am I a cardigan Read more

What's your favorite body part? On you, I mean. One of mine is my shoulders. I've been told they're, you know, sexy. You would think I would be partial to off shoulder styles then. Well, I am. They are dead sexy, no? The only buzz kill is the whole what-kind-of-bra-to-wear-with-it dilemma. No matter, it's decided: These are sexy, my shoulders are sexy, so won't you join me and be sexy Read more
