    Influential International Style: Lily Allen

    Lily Allen, pop's talkative, oversharing princess, is a serious style maven. Showing a clear penchant for luxury brands like Chanel, Prada and Yves San Laurent, yet comfortable wearing Chucks and a cartoonish headband with them, she certainly has a look all her own. In the same way that Madonna did in the 1980's, Lily Allen is probably owed back royalties for style "ideas" taken and mass-produced at Urban Outfitters. How does she do it? She starts with a beautiful piece, no matter if it's a gorgeous top or a fantastic prom-style dress. She brightens the outfit with colored accessories and bold, thick bling.

    At first blush to all of our US readers, the name Jemima Khan may not ring a bell. However, the fabulously dressed British socialite and writer has been a fixture on the high style scene since the 1990's. Once married to cricket player Imran Khan, and a former long term girlfriend of Hugh Grant, Khan had her front row seat reserved at fashion shows way before through her titled mother, Lady Annabel and her financier father Sir James Michael Goldsmith. With a social calendar as jam-packed as hers, Jemima Khan is dressed to the nines day in and day out. Says Khan, "I couldn't define my style -- that's impossible. I like comfort and elegance with a bit of glamour thrown in. If I like something, I'll wear it for years." Great advice to only purchase items you really love!

    Knowing full-well that she could take advantage of an Invisibility Cloak at any given moment, Emma Watson's status as a rising international style icon is even more impressive. The Harry Potter star is all grown up, and as the new face of the House of Chanel, is rumored to also be replacing Keira Knightley as the face of Burberry. How does a wizard rise to a style queen seemingly overnight? By choosing classic shapes, flattering neutrals, and always looking age appropriate. Whether it's a risk of length or a gorgeous backless gown, there is always a little something extra to Emma Watson's red carpet looks. Also catapulting her into success? Refusing to follow makeup trends and instead choosing flattering shimmers, and backing it all up with a classic updo or soft waves for a hairstyle.

    Designer Stella McCartney's latest capsule collection has us floating on air. Exclusive to Net-a-Porter, Stella's exclusive collection features a graphic cloud print by Sir Peter Blake. Blake is one of Britain's most well-known pop artists and is famous for The Beatles' album sleeve for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. And to think that Sir Peter Blake was paid only a pittance (200 pounds) for the 1967 album! Stella's Sir Peter Blake cloud-print collection features a dress made of silk jersey, which takes on an ethereal summery feel with its flowing draped sleeves, a deep V-neck and a self-tie sash at waist. Other pieces include an organic cotton tee, wedge tie espadrille wedges and cloud-print tote. Check out our friends at TheFind for more info and other hot fashion finds!

    Britain is really in bloom at the moment, maybe it's the excitement about the next Olympics €“ maybe it's just the darn amount of rain. Regardless, while I was in England recently, I came across some marvelous new designers. With a heavy dose of London pride, the OXO tower was one of my favorite places to see emerging designers. Here the designers have a combination of store and studio €“ so while it was exciting to see the new work, it was even more exciting to chat to a couple of the designers. One of my favorites was W2, and not just because they gave me one of their Pantone Mugs which I have used everyday since. READ MORE and see the SLIDESHOW to take a look at independent British design.
