Love and Marriage is in the air…
- “I have not spoken to Patti for 3 months. I didn’t want to interrupt her." Bert Newton.

- "I might be allergic to Marriage" Janet Jackson please talk to Madonna.
- "I wasn’t saving myself, she just happened to be the one." Former child star Gary Coleman – who’s now 40 – married Shannon Price . She needs saving.
- "Women hate her because she looks good being pregnant, then has the baby and looks sexy." –Joel Madden on Nicole. (But women don’t hate Madonna )
- "I think she’s sexy. I have kids as old as her … That did not stop me from noticing." Morris Day after performing onstage with Rihanna. He is married with kids. Newfound erotica.
- ‘Goldenballs’ is Posh’s nickname for her beloved Beck’s. Please interrupt her now.
- "•Between Nicolas and me, it wasn’t quick, it was immediate. For us, it even seemed slow. But lovers have their own sense of time." President Sarkozy’s new wife, Carla Bruni on their marriage 9 weeks after they met. He’s a bit slow.

I spy a very cute knit dress with a wide stripe, almost a Cacharel look to it. The wide horizontal stripes are in red, silver, pink, grey and gold. It has a V neck and is a little short and the outrageous price of $39. How very cheap but chic. Also while you are there invest in the chic, long grey cardigans; to be worn as dresses Stella Macartney style $49.95. This is not typo. Wear it as Stella showed it on the runway (pictured left) over a white shirt, with bright red heels. Also check out the classic, short sleeve, stripe tee in black and white, or grey and red $24. A stripe tee will razz up any sad boring jacket. I also spy a fabulous cut trench for the budget conscious for $99. Buy it in stone or black.
Check out the grey tailored suit jackets $249; the sexy black Taffetta trench $129 and the black fake fur chubby. This is not a rude word if you are a fashion editor. A chubby is a short fur jacket. This one is particularly short and cropped $159. The long oversized cardigan a la Stella (see above) is a great buy $89 and so the calico tie front short sleeve blouse in black or white for about $89. Check out the safari jacket a la YSL (Betty Catroux pictured in YSL safari, 1969 left) for $129. Safari s a big story for next summer and this is a great buy if you want to look chic and tailored but don’t want to do the suit jacket thing. Also you will love the stone safari style dress with tortoiseshell buttons and patch pockets $129.
and the classic suit jacket $399 (pictured left). Checkout the orange satin tee $139, a great burst of colour ; and the grey knit short sleeve sweater dresses that look like they don’t actually cling too much. Scientific tests have not proved so don’t sue me. Try on with care if you have any bulges where you shouldn’t. $199. I see they have reissued the fabulous grey twill bomber jacket from last season; still so right with a self belt and a zip. $299. A great piece to do the casual chic look with a pencil or full skirt. There is a trench here too. Buy the awfully chic and nicely understated black patch pocket straight skirt with its own little belt. A more interesting skew of the classic skirt $159. Tick that one for work. 
idea as it breaks up all the black and adds a little texture $228. There are $268 black lace up shoe boot flower (pictured left) or the Mary Jane wedge in black patent $268. Sick of teetering around in heels? Buy the very Lanvin black patent elastic side flats, so chic and you will find the scene is so difffernt closer to earth $168. Also buy the bronze round toe wedges $248. Bronze is almost a neutral these days and works so well with choc brown , black and any colour. Check out the very Chloe-esque peep toe black patent sling backs with the signature wooden stacked block heel. No teetering there. $198. Buy the red patent sling back wedges with a peeptoe and add a bit of an eclectic edge to your look $238. Please don’t be worried about peep toes going into winter. In heels and wedges your feet are too high off the ground to get wet. And wearing black opaques is cool with open toes or sling backs. Love the metallic ballet flats with a fabric rose on the toe. $228 So very next season romance. 
door you go. Remember the undies if your name is not Britney. Look out for the handy zip grey cotton bomber $129; wear with a pencil skirt and heels. Mix up the sporty with the chic. It looks modern. Invest in the handy grey cotton chinos $129; so right with a bomber or a blazer and a soft pretty blouse. Love the Black cocoon jacket , very YSL/ Lanvin – it has ¾ ballon sleeves and looks very couture with double breasted buttons and no collar. A fab price. $229. Don’t forget the chic weekend wear collection here: excellent ! The velour zip hoodie is almost a classic now $89 , but go to the dark grey. There are fab grey marle shorts, tops and track pants. Perfect for these rainy days at home relaxing. Who said anything about exercise? You want the short stone, collarless trench with a low belt and ¾ sleeve $199 , the black double breasted trench, the wet look black Tee $139 and the grey knit Tee. I bought it and I have not taken it off. Why? It skims over the clafoutis still sitting on my waist (see recipes below). Love the clutch bags in a burnt orange (orange is a big colour at the New York shows for next winter). Also buy the black patent flat round toe boots $299 and the huge cable knit oversized wool scarf, so very ‘Giles’ and so right for winter. They are both fabulous.
Lyell from NYC has arrived arrived here just in time for the Australian winter. You will adore the intricate knit lurex and black dress with a high neck $455; the divine black poly-mix Victorian blouse $495 with a peter pan collar and small capped sleeves and the chic de la chic navy wool double breasted coat (pictured left) – A dream! $850. Love, love, love the APC woollen pocket long sleeve tops in orange or blue $330 and the APC black skinny leg new cure jean $240. For skinny legs.Sorry. 
Design is a long process for people of Mr. Rodriguez’s age and experience, and to an extent this collection expressed the dangers of that inanely hopeful phrase “staying true to oneself.” He seemed locked in a tug of war between creating shapes that reflected his tailoring and sexy, minimalist aesthetic and his desire to challenge himself with other proportions and moods. The upshot was a collection that felt imaginatively constrained — not isolated exactly, but not as expansive as it should be for a designer of his stature.
The juxtaposition of such sober clothes with the grunge rock of Sonic Youth provided a metaphor of sorts for the struggle to blend Jacobs’s rebellious past with the present, for how a slacker fits into corporate life. Dissertation topic: How does the fall 2008 Marc Jacobs show represent the shift in popular culture and the corporate structure to reflect a post-boomer world?
It’s all about illusion," said Karan to describe the layers of semi-sheer, gauzy fabrics. She then threw out "decadent" and "naughty" to encompass the languorous, iridescent silks and velvets with a hint of Art Nouveau in their saffron and ruby colors. Where a hefty rag-rug coat fitted into the scenario was un-clear. But Karan’s "soft wear" looked fresh.
