a lanvin halloween

An assortment of colorful characters came out for the 2010 Lanvin Halloween Extravaganza at the Lanvin Boutique in NYC. Such guests included on-again-off-again-pregnant Rachel Zoe and former colleague Brad Goreski who dressed up as blogger Tavi Gevinson from thestylerookie.com. With her grayish-pink hair and signature oversized bow in mind, he nailed it. You know you've made it when people are dressing up as you for Halloween. Way to go, Tavi.

where in the world is kate moss?

You've heard it a million times: Kate Moss has amazing style. Yes, she has scores and scores of look-alikes emulating her grungy rock look with disheveled hair and Ray-Bans. But I can't help but still love her after all these years. And I, too, find myself copying her outfits from time to time. 

These days, Moss is promoting her last line with Topshop. She's also been rumored to be the face of Christian Dior's new fragrance. And did she secretly marry rocker boyfriend Jamie Hince? Again, a rumor. But apparently she's been wearing a wedding ring whilst out and about in London. By the way, I love that she has bangs again. They suit her really well. 

Have a safe and happy Halloween, everyone!

Vogue does it every week on their website, and now they're coming out with a book dedicated to today's most enviable style icons. I decided to pull my favorites, many of whom are no doubt in the book.

christmas list: first draft

Is October too early to begin a Christmas list? Yes and no. I need to edit down some stuff now before I really go crazy.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Embedot Shoulder Bag, $398

So unlike any other Marc Jacobs bag I own, or really any bag I own period! It's so beautiful and holiday-like with its golden adornments. It looks like it would hold quite a bit too.

Set Free Cardigan, $128

I bet I don't make it until Christmas for this one. More like the next paycheck. I tried this one on in the store the other day, and it was even more glorious in person. It was the perfect length and not 
itchy like I thought it might be.

Alexander McQueen Spots and Skulls Silk Scarf, $475

I've always wanted a skull-print Alexander McQueen scarf, but this one combines that with my favorite: leopard print. I don't care if I'll never get it. Still going on the list.

More to come.

instant hotness

There is a new magical item in stores right now. It has the power to transform the dumpiest, frumpiest outfit into a chic masterpiece. It is the fur trapper hat, and it can make you the most stylish person in the room.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Monster Fur Hat, $278

Let's say for whatever reason you decided to wear your Victoria's Secret sweatpants today and an old t-shirt. No problem. Slap on one of these babies, and voila! You're good to go. Just don't let anyone see the PINK (written in blue? WTF?) on your butt.

Staring at Stars Trapper Hat, $38

Faux Fur Hat, $10.80

Rumi Neely of Fashiontoast.com

Alone, Rumi's outfit is cute. But with the help of her sexy hat, it's suddenly amazing and makes me want to know more about her. Imagine how hot Elmer Fudd would've been with a hat from Urban Outfitters instead of the one he usually wore.
