September's Style Inspiration
Leighton Meester

This month I have decided to hand the style inspiration title to the lovely Leighton Meester. During September she has shown up in one great outfit after the other, and she has played around with the latest trends and given them her own little twists. For instance, she has worn everything from the LBD to the leather skirt to the colourful dresses this month, and in my opinion she has pulled it all off (some better than others of course!)

I love Leighton's charm and "girl-next-door" looks, and she seems so sweet and down-to-earth. Everything a great winner needs + the fabulous style of course. What's your favourite Leighton outfit this month? I tried to choose one, but I found it impossible because I love so many of them!

Jennifer Lopez in Elle US

Unul dintre cele mai frumoase pictoriale pe care le-am vazut in ultima perioada este cel al lui Jennifer Lopez pentru numarul de octombrie al editiei americane Elle. J.Lo a pozat alaturi de cativa dintre designerii ei preferati: Dolce & Gabbana, Karl Lagerfeld, Diane von Furstenberg, Donatella Versace, Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta, Brian Atwood, Georgina Chapman si Albino Riganello de la Sweetface, propriul label. Sedinta foto a avut mai multe locatii si a inceput la Milano in gradina lui Domenico Dolce si Stefano Gabbana, apoi au urmat hotelul Four Seasons, strazile din Manhattan, palazzo Versace.

These Boots Are Made for Bloggin'

Oh, hi! I've been laying low lately, did anyone notice? I'm yawning back into the binge zone because I need to know: WHICH BOOTS TO BUY?? So many, many, many lovelies. Help me decide, won't you?



I've been dying for a pair of off-white boots since Aiken was a boy. These might be the Ones! Seychelles "Dirty Laundry" boots, $179.95. They also come in tan and black. Which brings me to my next hmmmm:




BCBGirls "Petler" boots, $178.95 with an instant $25 off = $153.95. A reader tipped me to these as a nice alternative to Loeffler Randall (aka $750) boots. These look mighty fine to me.





Steve Madden also has some tempting boots this season, and after getting so much mileage out of the pair of his I got last year, I'd gladly sign up for another pair. Such as these "Intyce" boots, $199.95. Comes in black too...which to buy?? I might have to boycott, however, based on the ridiculous spelling. Seriously, there's no call for that.





Then we have this funky number: the 80%20 "Jackie" hidden-wedge boot, $188. Don't know why, but I'm just drawn to these.




And obviously, these Frye "Sam" boots, $398, are just f'ing awesome. Someone buy for me? Perhaps with the thousand bucks I was just overhearing we should all be stuffing under our mattresses for when the world ends? Just a thought.

Sunday Monkey Business


Nursing a hangover and all alone in the flat (because Susie is in Paris for the week) Sunday has been a lazy day for me. My time lounging on the sofa was well spent though because Film4 were showing the perfect Sunday afternoon film, Monkey Business. The film has a star studded cast including Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Marilyn Monroe and Charles Coburn but more interestingly than boasting stars the film shows them in a very different light than to how the audience expects to see them.


There is no doubt that Cary Grant is one of the most stylish men ever. While most have seen Cary Grant and indeed remember him for the romance and Hitchcock films of this decade such as An Affair to Remember, To Catch a Thief and North by Northwest, Monkey Business is reminiscent of the screwball comedies of the 30's. Very funny and full of just plain silliness, this film is a great way to pass a Sunday afternoon. Although in a more comedic role than I'm used to seeing in, he's still as stylish as ever. The style on display is more than similar to Mad Men. As Valet showed us how to get the style from the show of the moment and I just had to share it with you all once again.

1.) Sterling silver tie bar by David Donahue, $40 at Nordstrom. 2.) Lemtosh frames, $169 (without prescription) at Moscot. 3.) Sidecar gunmetal briefcase by Dunhill, $1,240 at Dunhill, 212.753.9292. 4.) Bow tie by Band of Outsiders, $92 at Blue Bee. 5-7.) Ties, (from left) Mike & Chris, $83, Ralph Lauren, $125 and Shipley & Halmos, $92, all available at Blue Bee. 8.) Suit by John Varvatos Star USA, $795 at Nordstrom. Shirt by Theory, $125, at Nordstrom. Tie by Hickey, $115 at Hickeystyle.com. 9.) Wool hat by Rod Keenan, $360 at Barneys New York stores. 10.) Cotton handkerchiefs, $25 for a pack of seven, at Brooks Brothers.

I will leave you with a piece of wisdom from Grant's character - "You're old only when you forget you're young." Now I'm off to buy a pair of braces after being inspired by this film.

Speaking of Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week got a little more fabulous, chocolate and brunch lovers/ Will & Grace fans! Check out photos of Sasha Baron Cohen as Bruno crashing the runway in Milan, and then check out video footage of the stunt.


Fashion Week Color Palette!

The stylish smartypants over at Refinery29 did a de-gorgeous jobber culling together some of the most lovely color trends seen on the runways during New York, London and Milan's Fashion Weeks. Here are a few of my favorites: mustard, plum, and red (like the wine), respectively.

I Heart Balmain

I think that I am in love.

With Cristophe Decarnin and his stunning designs for Balmain. I just don't understand how this man does it. I am still drooling over this look from the Fall 08 collection and my goal is to look as fabulous as this every night I go out. I know, my expectations are too damn high. Where does Decarnin find this brilliant inspiration? Personally, I think that he has been clicking himself around the blogosphere and found a lot of inspiration from all of the fabulous style blogs out there because many of these outfits remind me quite a lot of things a few bloggers have worn. So to you who may be reading this and who feel they have worn outfits similar to Decarnin's, praise yourself lucky to be in such great company and to have your head filled with so much fabulous inspiration. I'm going to stop ranting on now, and let you enjoy the photos instead. Hands down one of the best S/S 09 collections I have seen until now.
