Smrithi is playing the part of fun gypsy today. I admit, her ensemble is not an easy one to pull off, but she does it flawlessly.

Come back and tell us what brands you're wearing. Congrats to Smrithi! Everyone else, submit your Read more

Ralph Lauren's Fall 2012 collection focused on proper English style, from dapper menswear to glamourous, turn-of-the-century evening dresses. The select crowd of fashion editors — many of whom rarely even crack a smile at these shows —literally squealed with delight when the music began: it was the soundtrack to the PBS series and obvious editor obsession Downton Abbey. That show centers on a Read more
Just when we thought we couldn't swoon any more over Joseph Altuzarra's creations, the designer sent us on a dizzying trip around the world via brightly hued Moroccan-chic knitwear, chunky fringe, plush shearling, and quirky coin embellishments.
