Star Style: Audrey Tautou

I'm sure we've all heard about the much anticipated "Coco Before Chanel" film starring Audrey Tautou, which hits theaters soon. In my opinion, there is no one better for this role. Audrey is the epitome of french chic with her short hair, red lips and classic dresses. She prefers to keep her colors neutral so as to play with angles and asymmetry. Her choices often use clean lines to create the illusion of shape and add detail.










If emulating the designer is not enough, Tautou is also the new face of Chanel No 5. Talk about a cherry on top!

Metallics and Shine at Fashion Week

And the Fashion Week trends continue. Many designers added metallics, mostly for evening, to their showings. Silvers and golds in silky fabrics are a great way to create the look of texture without adding the bulk. For the average girl, I love the idea of a metallic skirt with a t-shirt and cardigan or blazer. You can't go wrong with some sparkles!

NY Fashion Week Spring 2010: Part Deux

Every fashion week has a color story to tell and for spring that story is usually blue but this year, we are seeing neutrals like tan, grey, lilac and light pink accented with brights. While some designers brightened their looks with neon yellow, there seemed to be a more common story in shades of pink and orange. The strawberries and tangerines are not only fun but universally flattering. Retailers will definitely be incorporating this color scheme into their collection next year. I know I can't wait!

Neutrals at Lutz & Patmos, Rachel Comey, Julian Louie, Costello Tagliapietra. I have to say that I DIE for a neutral palette. I have yet to understand why since they should be boring and I look deathly in them. J.Crew is offering up this tasty spectrum right now and as much as I try to resist, I just cannot. Note to self: wear black, white or brown as a base (as a winter, these are colors I should be wearing)

NY Fashion Week Spring 2010

Stripes are my absolute favorite. I've been told I have too many stripes in my closet but I'm just not sure how that's possible. The nautical print is always popular on the Spring runways and this year is no exception. Looks like I'll be adding more to my wardrobe.
