Ready Made Outfit: Funky School-Girl




Frenchi Puff Sleeve Turtleneck | $40 at Nordstrom

Even if you’re not enrolled in school, you can still look like a fashionable school-girl with the right outfit. Since you’d rather look like you’re heading to lunch than the library, pair your mini plaid jumper with chunky pumps instead of flats. And if you want to avoid looking like Britney Spears in her "Baby One More Time" video, stay far away from tummy-revealing tops by choosing a turtleneck instead. Soon, you’ll be the most stylish gal on campus - er, street.

Fendi Bucket Bag



I wasn’t a huge fan of the Spy or the B.bag but Fendi I could understand how people thought they were aesthetically pleasing. This bucket bag is taking the piss though. Even the model can’t figure out quite how to pose with the bag without looking like an absolute idiot. Hence the awkward arm position. Celebrities haven’t been seen with it - just yet - although I wouldn’t be surprised if Jessica Simpson is snapped toting it on her arm some point soon. But if it takes your fancy, for some reason I will never be able to understand, then it can be yours for $1,640

Cozy Cold-Weather Scarves



Catherine Malandrino Pom Pom Scarf, $325

One of my favorite things about dropping temperatures is getting to break out all of my cozy knit scarves. Really, when it comes to cold-weather essentials, it's hard to get more fashionable than a scarf. They really do keep you warm, and they're great for layering indoors, too. Because scarves are worn so close to the face and are always in style, I think it's worth investing in a really nice one made from cashmere or another luxurious fabric. Here are some of my picks.

Festival Style - Casually Cool




My SO and I went to the Charlotte Shout last night - a festival with cooking classes outdoors, wine tents, baked goods, and representatives of several local restaurants selling tapas-sized samples of select menu items. With the weather turning cooler and fall clothes coming out of the closet, there was a huge variety of style at the event. I love the outfit below. It's a slightly dressy, slightly casual outfit - perfectly layered with a nice color palette:

Cheque Book Juicy Couture Charm




Ooh la love.

A cheque book Juicy Couture charm is charming -

Because, though you can knock Juicy Couture for slapping “couture” on slinky boybeater tanks, Juicy Couture puts out quality product (check that tiny crown stamp on each Juicy Couture charm’s lobster clasp).

Because this cheque book Juicy Couture charm would look fab rocked as a pendant on a gold necklace.

Because a golden cheque book is the closest thing to a real lucky charm in the world.

Fashion Designer Tip of Day, Headgear, Couture in the City Fashion Blog


Mischa has recently been seen sporting Pochantas like headbands. But she was just an early adopter in what looks to be the latest head gear trend this upcoming Spring/Summer. Turbans and head bands tied tightly across the forehead was seen everywhere from Moschino to Prada.

I personally don't think Mischa pulls it off here. She doesn't look quite as chic as the models do on the runway. She just looks a bit costume-y so be careful when you try to pull this look off.

Skinny Black Trousers, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

When Sienna Miller and Kate Moss were spotted in grey skinny jeans, the world went ga-ga over them. But whilst grey knits and sweaterdresses remain in style, the way to move forward with your skinnies is to go black.


I'm a firm believer that only Italians can properly pull off Diesel and Miss Sixty without looking naff. But this pair of Miss Sixty skinny black trousers I think are much more versatile and I can picture almost anyone in them. Available from asos for £65


For ladies with Claudia Schiffer high legs, you'll look absolutely fabulous these Peg Leg Cords by J Brand. Available from girlshop for $159


This pair of skinnies by Banana Republic is much more forgiving than the J Brands. It's not completely skin tight but still gives a similar pin-thin effect. Available from Banana Republic for $108

Men's Fashion Report:Calvin Klein Spring 2007,Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Zucchelli's collections for Calvin Klein.









For spring, Zucchelli ,the menswear's greatest mordernist, projected the image of the future This season, Zucchelli offers a different color scheme: aqua, purple, black, white and gray. This collection is all about fabric technology, futuristic yet wearable, while paying tribute to the bands in the eighties : Jackets in a fine mesh had a neoprenelike gleam, even a more familiar material like linen was glazed to a seductive sheen for a suit in a bitter-chocolate shade and shirts featured tiny button-down collars. In Zucchelli's spring collection, alot of leg-baring and tight leggings could be seen on the runway, men who enjoy showing off their sexy legs, just like Victoria Beckham, you should be glad that the designer had produced the best shorts ever!! I personally think that this collection was one of their best, daring to create a new futuristic look, but still appealing to the masses.
