Fall Trends Accessory Report- The Choker Necklace is the IT Jewelry Trend

Trend Report: The Choker Necklace is the IT jewelry trend for fall 2011

The Top Seven Accessory Trends for Fall 2011 with StyleSight, Day 6, is Jewelry Day! Our last day of looking at Accessory Trends with StyleSight leaves us with the re-imagined Choker necklace adding a concise, tailored, industrial and ultimately sophisticated finishing touch to Fall's minimal glamour. From Louis Vuitton's harmonious take on the Peter Pan collar in metallics and leather to Lanvin's maximalist chunky floral choker, these statement making necklaces are the last word on polished, put together confidence. We suggest channeling the late 90's iteration of the choker by pairing it with a quintessentially chic white button-down and simpler, less cumbersome tops, but who's to say the architectural austerity of a plunging neckline or a low-cut back won't suffice?

Luxury Children’s Clothing- Kiddie Couture from Chloe, Lanvin and Stella McCartney

Top children's fashion design... for the little ones. When Oshkosh is not an option, the sky is the limit for luxury children's clothing... With luxury houses zeroing in on the children's market come three impressive collections from Chloe, Lanvin and Stella McCartney. As you'd expect, Lanvin's recent 25 piece kid's outing is for the pint-size princess in your life with prices hovering around an exorbitant $800 mark, while the Chloe range tightly mirrors it's women's. Chloe for kids RELATED: Cool Kids Clothing From AllSaints For Your Fashion Angels The most surprisingly affordable and maybe the most adorable line of the three comes from Stella McCartney whose giddy confections come at friendlier prices with sweaters averaging at about $60. McCartney's line

We were dizzy from all the fantastic costumes changes last night! But, WOW, were they amazing! Hosting the 2011 Oscars has got to be one ma-JAR fashionchallenge. Who to wear? What to wear? How many dreses to wear? Well, why settle for one over-the-top designer gown, when you can have seven, plus one incredible pantsuit! Since we couldn't keep track, we thought you couldn't either so our friends at EW.comhelped with some of the credit list. The designers themselves helped with the others. Anne was styled by stylist Rachel Zoe for the event. >> READ: The Best Oscar Red Carpet Fashion >> SEE OUR PHOTO GALLERY: OSCAR Fashion- Red Carpet Photos 2011 It's all about names, names, names... but we are going to start with the dresses we

Christmas Windows Paris- Chanel and Lanvin Holiday Displays

Retail Remedy: Rag dolls & dogs make for whimsy rather than traditional holiday window displays Not so traditional Christmas, c'est si bon! There's nothing that I love more on my walking tours of Paris than to spot the unexpected, especially during the holiday season. Take these whimsical windows, for instance... Lanvin Okay, the windows at Lanvin are not your conventional Christmas windows by any stretch of the imagination. Instead of cutesy dancing bears and marionettes gaily prancing, there are dogs wearing top hats, spectacles, and bow ties and bald headed mannequins spattered in white paint. Nonetheless, I think they are the cats meow and the dog's bark. And, almost as cute as the Printemps Loves Lanvin windows! Lanvin Love the

Lanvin for HM Official Video Look Book Looks Great

Cheap(er) Chic: It's not a project that is a dress for less-- Alber Elbaz, Artistic Director of Lanvin We've got our hands on the official Lanvin H&M look and you will want to watch and covet! Come November 23 Lanvin for H&M will hit in around 200 H&M stores worldwide with November 20 scheduled for lucky us in North America. But what's more interesting is that this is not a super cheap chic H&M budget fashionta collab. Think of this gorgeous collection that marks a luxury debut for H&M at prices substantially lower than "real" luxury. Cheap(er)chic, if you will with many dresses and coats coming in at $199.

Cleopatra As Fashion Muse from the fall catwalks to Sex and the City 2

Beauty & Jewelry Trend Report: Miss Cleo the Modern “It” Girl The Miss Cleo trend in beauty at L.A.M.B. for Fall 2010 Why wait for fall? Everyone wants a jump on a fashion trend, especially when it's something that you can glom onto, run with, and make personal... before it is even “in season,” the proposed season, that is. Look no further than some blunt bangs, heavily lined cat eyes, and very royal and sensual jewelry in a BC kind of way. Hold your cobra, Cleopatra is our favorite muse of the moment! There certainly was no shortage of models with a ‘Walk Like An Egyptian' vibe on the fall catwalks, or even some not so subtle nuances to Elizabeth

Jennifer Lopez Jewelry At Its Best with a statement making bib necklace

Lanvin & Lopez are a fashion force to be reckoned with! I'll Have What She's Having: Jennifer Lopez's "Back Up Plan" includes a pretty fierce necklace that would look so amazing on YOU! Maybe it's her New York City roots, maybe it's just her keen sense of style but La Lopez is the rare celebrity who is about real ‘fashion' rather than some formulated, prefab stylist enabled marketing pitch packaged up to sell, sell, sell on the red carpet. And, that's what I love about Jennifer Lopez, besides making a big booty fashionable. I'm also pretty enamored with the Lanvin Spring 2010 collection but you know that from my cooing over Zoe Saldana's dress. So when you put Lopez in

Zoe Saldana ‘s Lanvin dress in a burst of color is our newest love

Explosion of color with all the right details make for super chic style We've really been taking note of Zoe Saldana's style since she went the way of true fashion rather than predicable red carpet route with her Givenchy Haute Couture lilac gown at this year's Oscars. Alber Elbaz has always been a name on our short list of lifetime personal favorites for his feminine and sophisticated take on clothing that women actually want to wear because of the flattering grace of his designs. As the Creative Director of Lanvin, we see nothing but possibilities that we would love to have fill our closets. LANVIN - Off-the-shoulder dress at farfetch There's been a bit of obsessing around here since we

Runway Review: Menswear, best of the classics fall 2010, Milan & Paris

Heritage is the Word! Four stand-out collections with "investment" potential & forward thinking clarity With the end of the last decade's heady maximalism behind us, and the dawn of a new era upon us with a loud call being heard for palette cleansing essentials in a time when the economy ain't so pretty, many are looking for easy, fuss-free propositions that are not only right for the times, but right for the future even. The day of instantly recognizable runway pieces is long gone and many venerable labels are looking back at not only their own heritages, but also the fundamentals of a smart wardrobe. >> See Runway Review: Menswear, best of cool for fall 2010 The urban warrior, the

The Word: I Hate Hats

The ongoing battle to find the right hat. Qualify... I like hats. At best they are form and function in one neat little package - parts of a greater whole. Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, Inez and Vinoodh, Cookies and Milk. I am a major proponent of the humble knit ski cap - preferably picked up at Duane Reade for $3 on a freezing night when the cashmere Marc Jacobs beret thing I’m wearing seems over-affected for the circumstances. Also, the cheapest ones are the most malleable - length and width wise - and always come in my favorite colors - black, gray, charcoal, army-green, bandaid . I don’t feel bad if I lose them and they allow me more
