Trend Alert: Metallica Jackets
I have a ton of Winter coats in my closet, but I've yet to own a metallica jacket. I admit, I was shy of the shiny, but seeing Gwyneth Paltrow in her silver Alice + Olivia coat and Christian Louboutin caged booties at the Valentino event in NYC swayed me otherwise. These toppers inject major wattage to dark winterwear, and are perfect for upcoming holiday soirees.
Who Wore It Better? Donna Karan Sequin Halter Dress
Iman was one of my favorite red-carpet queens when she wore her Donna Karan sequin halter dress a few weeks ago. Now, French actress Eva Green is here to challenge her. Let's break them down.
Trend Alert: Do the Pleat
I admit, I was growing quite weary of the current selection of Fall handbags, but my outlook changed when I laid eyes on cool pleated bags. There's something for everyone with styles ranging from tightly stitched clutches to more haphazard pleats. This fresh Diane von Furstenberg Studded Napa Bag ($595) awakened my handbag soul to a level unparalleled.
2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Donna Karan
Upon entering the Donna Karan venue, you were put into a Zen state by loud, yet soothing, Annie Lennox music. My Zen was mildly interrupted by Milla Jovovich, in an awesome striped dress, who sat in the front row with Rachel Zoe and Elle's Joe Zee. These three were very chummy, cozy.
Let the Madness Begin! Designers Prep For New York Fashion Week
While I physically and mentally prepare myself for New York Fashion Week, designers are hard at work putting finishing touches on their creations. I can't wait to meet the clothes in person, but in the meantime, here's a sneak peek of what's going on in the design studios as we speak. Some are in a frenzy — Betsey Johnson even prays to the fashion gods — while others like Jason Wu (left) are more calm.

Should Fashion Shows Be Targeted Toward Consumers or the Industry?
Last night, the CFDA gathered around the stone at a town meeting where industry leaders discussed the future of the fashion industry. The debate was whether fashion shows should be targeted towards consumers or the industry. “We design for the consumer, and right now, I believe the consumer is completely confused,” said Donna Karan.
Fab Finding Followup: Bastille Day Croquet!
Last weekend, in celebration of Bastille Day — a French holiday that celebrates the beginning of the French Revolution — Yum and I enjoyed a scrumptious lunch followed by a round of croquet — we had so much fun! I asked you to help me put together a French-inspired outfit that didn't involve pouf and lace; something more along the lines of Isabel Marant's Spring collection. Yes, obsessed.
The Donna Dish: "If You Can't Sleep in It, Forget It"
The Donna Karan wisdom continues. After listening to her and Ken Downing at the Neiman Marcus event in San Francisco, I have a newfound interest in draping and defining luxury. Donna also mentioned Michelle Obama ("Michelle Obama is an icon") and emphasized the importance of jewelry when she spoke of her years collaborating with Robert Lee Morris: "Jewelry is important.
