11/06/09: Net-A-Porter

There's something about black and studs that is timelessly sexy and strong. Love a tight asymmetric dress with leather and strong boots - makes it less overt. I also love hard metal against black, adds an edge to what is otherwise quite a sombre, serious palette. I'm also thinking studded boots could most definitely be a DIY project this holidays (which starts at mid day today!! Excite!)

Calvin Klein And Visionaire's 56 Solar Party

Everyone at Calvin Klein and Visionaire's party to celebrate the "Solar Issue" looked crazy stylish - so much white and cream and denim. And kickass black sunnies. The all white theme is such a good idea. There was, obviously, a ton of Calvin - but also so Herve Leger's and Alexander Wang (Behati I still want your jacket!! We must talk oui?)

Apparently poor Chloe bought an "amazing Commes des Garcons leopard print dress" before she knew the dress code.

Oh and apparently the issues photographs change colour in the sunlight... Seriously. That is too awesome.

Muse: Jerry Hall

Right now I'm loving the young Jerry Hall. Statuesque, long blond hair and Mick on her arm. She was featured recently as one of Style.Com's "Beauty Icons". When I think jerry, I think body con, cut outs, asymmetric and long tailored blazers - all in block colours of black, cream, or brights. And with some kickass bold jewelry of course. All of which are major trends from the recent shows.

Russh has also been on a similar wavelength, with a stunningly sexy and refined editorial dedicated to, and named after, Hall.

Classic pieces would be bandage dresses, metallics and a sharp oversized blazer - all of which I am digging in a cream/nude palette (a fave right now) as it gives it both a softer, more feminine edge, but also a sense of high maintenance/untouchable/pampered.

Clockwise: Stella McCartney Silk blend bandage top, Diane Von Furstenberg Chefly sequined blazer, Alexander Wang Goddess jersey dress, Stella Mcartney Oversized silk jacket, Balmain Wool satin tuxedo jacket, Stella McCartney Tailored blazer cream, Zac Posen Lame asymmetric dress, Center: Preen Fran bandage dress.

NYFW FALL 09: Herve Leger & Preen

The Herve Leger by Max Azria collection used the most amazing bronzes and golds - from the dresses, to the makeup, right up to the catwalk. Creating a decadent yet earthy feel. The use of texture and asymmetry is also gorgeous.

I really love this cut out trend we are seeing - very different and very graphic. Its best when executed in black and white. Preen's collection featured a lot of it, and the whole collection was really impressive.
