What a fine time it has been for Gwyneth. Towards the end of the week, I found myself anxious to see what unique confection she would be wearing to the next Iron Man promotion. It was a tough decision for all of us, but I think this Preen dress paired with McQueen heels she wore to the Iron Man premiere and photocall in Rome was the winner of the week — across the board. Who knew Gwyneth was Read more

Fall Glimpse: Bodacious
As we all know, the female form is a beautiful thing, and it was celebrated on the Fall runways. The waist has returned and if all else fails, throw a belt on over a sweater, cardi, coat or dress, and voila!

People's Choice Awards: Busy Philipps
Busy Philipps went bold and bright in a cobalt blue, body-conscious Carven sheath. The dress may be on the more understated side of things, but Busy capitalizes on its simplicity with her lovely add-ons, including a pair of embellished peep-toes, and a pair of mega-drop jeweled earrings that she spotlights with her hair pulled back into a high ponytail. We love the striking black and blue Read more
