Diane von Furstenberg & Reem Acra Fall 2009

Diane von Furstenberg’s Fall 2009 collection mixed and matched patterns, knits and textures.

There were lots of prints, metallics, oversized cardigans, tunics, leggings and my favourite part of the collection was the pom-poms hats.

I don’t think we will see many of these pieces on the red carpet, but I am sure many pieces will end up in our closets..

Reem Acra’s Fall 2009 collection looked my idea of heaven. Gorgeous gowns, rich colours, and delicate embellishments.

I see so many Oscar potential gowns from this collection, as Reem is very much the go to person for red carpet glamour. We have seen that at the SAG Awards, and many other ceremonies this season.

Actresses will go gaga over the gorgeous draped designs of chiffons and silk satins in an array of colours from eggplant, teal blue, champagne, taupe, brown and black.

New York Week Front Row

Lela Rose

Kellie Pickler started off very slow this Fashion Week, but she has now got into her stride and is looking fabulous.

Her best look of the week so far, came at the Lela Rose show, were she wore a taffeta teal Lela Rose Spring 2009 dress.

The detail on the bodice is exquisite.

Jennifer Love Hewitt paired a gold Lela Rose neckline embellished dress, with a navy cardi.

Her cute look was completed with a pair of nude Christian Louboutin pumps.

Brittany Snow looked cute in her Lela Rose Spring 2009 ensemble. I love the detail on the skirt, and the collar on the haltered top.

Diane Von Furstenberg

Heidi Klum’s multi-coloured striped shimmering Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2009 dress, which she paired with a large striped belt was gorgeous, but I am so tired of YSL Trib Two’s worn with everything.

Zoe Saldana opted for a white Diane von Furstenberg Pre-Fall 2009 dress with a watercolour floral print. Her silver heels were outstanding.

I would have expected a brighter colour from Katharine McPhee, but she opted for a black and white Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2009 tunic dress.

Donna Karan

Mary Alice Stephenson wore a LBD, but made it more interesting with a large statement necklace, a snake skin clutch and a fur collared coat.

Molly Sims looked stunning wearing a black one-shoulder Donna Karan dress with a gold statement necklace and a black Nancy Gonzalez clutch.

Preen

Roisin Murphy wore a sexy Preen Spring 2009 LBD, with a funky ‘do, then she pores cold water over the whole look by wearing a cardigan.

Reem Acra

Sophia Bush wore a rich two-toned purple Reem Acra dress, from the Fall 2008 collection, which were worn with YSL Trib Two’s.

Lily Collins opted for a lace frock, with gold heels.

In Katy Perry’s Closet – H&M

We all love to see celebrities wearing the latest designs off the runway, but it’s also nice to know that they shop in high street stores just like us.

Katy Perry attended a special case dedication at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas recently. The case displayed an outfit from the video of her #1 single Hot n Cold.

At the presentation, the singer wore a zebra jumpsuit is from H&M, with a large statement necklace, and blue suede booties.

You can buy this jumpsuit from all H&M stores, in both the zebra print and in black for $59.90.

New York Fashion Week – Picture Of The Day

Despite having an invitation to Tracy Reese’s Fall 2009 show, it was such a hot ticket, that it was so packed, and I couldn’t get in.

I would have loved to have witnessed the tension between The Hilton sisters and Kim Kardashian.

Look at the gap between them. You could park a bus there.

What is also very comical about this picture, is the fact that Paris is wearing sunglasses, and clearly can’t see, so she has to raise them to view the collection.

Sophie Kinsella Love’s Alexander McQueen

Author of Confessions of a Shopaholic, Sophie Kinsella was also a the London premiere last night.

I was far more impressive with her look, than Isla Fisher’s.

Sophie wore head to toe Alexander McQueen, which included a stand out fuchsia dress, who’s colour matched the sole of her MQueen heart peep-toe pumps. She also carried a black jewel clash clutch.

Sophie’s head-to-toe look is available from Net-A-Porter.com

The dress is available from the US site for $1,445, and the international site for £661/€795.

Her adorable heart peep-toe pumps are available from the US site for $835, and the international site for £387/€470.

Social Events Of The Week

Confessions of a Shopaholic, London Premiere

I was hoping to be really wowed by Isla Fisher when she hit the promotional trial for this movie.

I applaud her for braving the cold in a short black Jasmine Di Milo dress, but essentially it’s just a LBD, with sequins and a low back. Hardly ground-breaking.

What I did love was her black and gold clutch by Lara Bohinc and her chic Jimmy Choo Seattle strappy sandals.

Liberty’s Reopening, London

The stunning Freida Pinto was honoured by reopening of luxury retailer Liberty’s in London.

She wore a Dries Van Noten coral draped dress, with a wide black belt and black straps.

She accessorized her dress with black studded Jimmy Choo strappy sandals, and kept her hair sleek straight.

This gorgeous look makes up for her Elle Style Awards Chanel dress.

13th Annual Art Directors Guild Awards, LA

Do you know what this is?

Up for Best Dressed Of The Week.

I am so in love with Taraji P. Henson. Whoever is styling her at the moment, deserves to give themselves a pat on the back.

The Oscar nominated actress looked outstanding wearing a Moschino Cheap and Chic Fall 2009 ivory double breasted tuxedo with a black satin lapels, which was adorned with a silver brooch.

What a refreshing twist on the classic tuxedo.

59th Annual ACE Eddie Awards, LA

Another event, another fab look. Taraji consistence on the red carpet is outstanding.

Her cowl-neck silver satin dress is worn with gold heels. I am not a fan of mixing metals, but this works.

Eden Is West Premiere, Berlin Film Festival

I for one can’t wait for the end of the Berlin Film Festival, because Tilda Swinton can get back to her edgy stylish self.

I see were she is going in this Lanvin blue dress, with her responsibilities as a judge for this festival, but looking at her lately is like watching TV on mute. I feel unfulfilled.
