September 7, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Mischa Barton wore a silver metallic dress with chain straps to the recent Fashion Rocks concert and so did Jessica Alba.Chain handles on handbag are highly desirable and if the bag is Chanel such detail is a must! Of course chain can also be a jewelery piece-Judith Ripka Long Chain Donut Necklace is made of 18K gold with pave diamonds and it looks stunning on a simple dress or top.$650
Zac Posen have created Antonia Frame bag-it would look like if it belonged to your grandmother if it wasn’t for a gold chain that runs across the front.A stunner!$1,295
Marc by Marc Jacobs padlock watch pendant is sweet and stylish and it’s a perfect every day accessory.£125
Jimmy Choo never stays behind fashion trends so you will be pleased to know that he has made Black leather open toe sandals, with chunky gold chain on the top of foot. You can dress up or down by wearing with either dress or jeans.
And as I strict follower of Chloe I just have to mention Large Paddington Capsule tote with,of course,chain strap.

Must have: Croc handbag!

Ashley Olsen was recently spotted with a vintage Fendi crocodile skin handbag-as an uber fashionista, Ashley knows that this is one of the must haves for Autumn/Winter 2007-08.
If you have spare $148,000 (plus tax!) to spend,then Hermes has the perfect thing for you-diamond orange croc Birkin bag. Bit nuovo rich,although even Victoria Beckham doesn’t have one…yet.
I love Nancy Gonzalez Croc Clutch-simple design makes it a timless classic and lack of a hefty price tag ($1150) makes it even more desirable. Available at Neiman Marcus.
Worth mentioning is Nubuck&Shiny Crocodile Bag in coco.Designer Massimo Calestrini designs for women who love luxury but also practicality of their handbags.$13,500
Michael Kors also follows the trend with his Sutton bag in yellow.Wear with purple dress and black heels.
Jimmy Choo has a fantastic Crocodile Ramona bag in cognac with gold-tone hardware.Big enough to carry all the essentials and looks amazing with knee high boots,jeans and well cut jacket.
But the best of them all- ultimate arm candy is,for me anyway-Zagliani Crocodile Tote-designed by dermatologist Mauro Orietti-Carella,the skin has been injected with silicone,making it most soft and luxurious.$11,300

Trend Alert : September 2007!
September 4, 2007 | 1 Comment
Fall/Winter 2007-08 catwalks were all about ruffles, folds and twisted materials inspired by geometrical shapes. From Christian Dior to Nina Ricci,from Givenchy to Proenza Schouler and Sophia Kokosalaki,artful details were on party dresses,skirts,shirts and even accessorises.
When ubermodel Natalia Vodianova wore dove grey dress with origami-inspired detailing (by Christian Dior Haute Couture) to the 2007 Oscars’ after party, every fashionista in the world knew that geometrical play with fabrics will soon be a major trend.
Other celebrities had to follow: Victoria Beckham made Hollywood A-listers pea green with envy when she appeared in Roland Mouret’s Moon dress from his new RM range that is still yet-to-be-released.
Rosamound Pike recently wore a ruffled bronze dress to the premiere of the ‘Atonement’.Unfortunately,it was a miss-too much detail kills the look, so remember to keep it simple.
Anna Vintour,the always polished to perfection editor of US Vogue, was seen in a stunning layered, cut and folded cocktail dress by Valentino at the recent Men’s Vogue party.
And last but not least, Marc Jacobs’s Stam patchwork bag has been the arm candy of everybody who could afford one.
If you want to follow the trend, here are the all important links:
The ingenious cap sleeved Moon is available to pre-order (£990) here:
To die for: Derek Lam sleeveless silk blouse (£545)
