I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf
The fashion saga continued on Gossip Girl with Blair Waldorf looking like a beautiful hostess. In celebration of Chuck's appointment to Bass Industries, Blair wore a silk chiffon Milly top and See by Chloe tweed skirt. Notice how she kept the focus on her pretty prints by wearing minimal accessories and black peep toe pumps.
Try on a Tweed Skirt
If there is one classic wardrobe item you should buy this Fall, it is a tweed skirt. It's hard to get more timeless than this—a tweed skirt would work in almost any fashion moment of the 20th century—and pencil-style skirts in particular are very big this season. Plus, they're hard to wrinkle, they look great with tights and tall boots, and they transition well from the office to dining out.

It's been a while since I've walked into a Jigsaw London store or perused its online site. Shame because it has lots of attractive things, some understated, some bold.

2010 Paris Fashion Week: Isabel Marant
Isabel Marant — a Fab obsession — opted for more detail, more color, and more leg for Spring. Per usual, I adore everything, minus the camouflage boots. Marant delivered an eclectic chic mix of frilly skirts and dresses, sumptuous tweed, cool prints, girlie ruffles, city shorts, hot hot pink, and sweet turquoise.
Look Book Love: Madison Marcus, Fall '09
Madison Marcus's Fall '09 collection has me crushin' like the ninth grade – you know what I mean. For the cold months ahead, the brand is keeping us warm with a supply of tweed skirts, shimmering cardigans, tailored pants, silk tops, and vintage-inspired frocks. I'm smitten with the '20s influence via intricate beading details and floaty shapes, but notice how the line evokes youthfulness through a fun, jewel-toned palette.
2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Jason Wu
I couldn't help but ask myself, "Would Michelle Obama wear that?", while checking out Jason Wu's tantalizing Spring collection. Indeed, I saw a couple pretty dresses that Michelle would jump for, but his creations aren't just for the First Lady. Any cutie would be so lucky to don his array of youthful separates and magical frocks.

Girls on Film: Valerija Erokhina, Vogue Australia, May '09
I never considered pink hair until I saw Valerija Erokhina in Vogue Australia's May '09 issue. OK, I'll never really dye my hair pink — unless it's Halloween — but I adore Valerija's slightly tinted 'do. The spread, dubbed "Flora Plan," features the Russian model wearing a sweet mix of '40s-inspired ladylike separates and modern elements.
Trend Alert: Tweeds
Old school fabric tweed is an ideal material for winter - it is moisture resistant, very durable, and very cute. Tweed automatically adds grace and sophistication, and is a fun fabric to wear in a more corporate work environment. These days, tweed is spun in different colors and patterns so it is no longer a drab, rugged Scottish man's material.
