Confession: I'm not the sharpest when it comes to finance. Don't get me wrong, I know the basics, thanks to SavvySugar, but I want to learn more about investing my hard-earned money. To help point me in the right direction, a friend suggested I attend a personal finance seminar.
A Pre-Fall Preview: Part IV
Our Pre-Fall preview continues with cozy collections from the likes of Emanuel Ungaro, Moschino, Balenciaga, Lanvin, Nina Ricci, Proenza Schouler, and Matthew Williamson.

Celebrity Style: Jennifer Connelly
Polka dots tend to connote whimsy, but actress Jennifer Connelly wears the print with complete maturity. She attended the Paris photocall of The Day the Earth Stood Still in a delicate polka-dot blouse, a black mini skirt, and cap-toe Lanvin platforms.
