There's a huge nautical influence coming up for Spring (note my previous post on ropes in fashion). My all-time favorite are nautical stripes. Navy and white or black and white -- you take your pick. This look is timeless as seen on Coco Chanel in the 1930s, Audrey Tautou playing Chanel in the movie Coco Avant Chanel, and the lovely Audrey Hepburn in the 1960s. Pair these easy, breezy t-shirts with a single long-chain necklace (pearls, beads, or otherwise a la Chanel) and prepare to update your striped look for spring 2010.

Craving a Halloween costume that's not so much scary as it is stylish? Why not pay homage to an iconic fashion personality? From a ghoulish Karl Lagerfeld to a monstrous cat-wielding Kenley Collins, these get-ups are just right for fashionistas who are less into "boo" and more into "Goo ... cci." How about Anna Wintour? Between her pow-wow with David Letterman and the success of "The September Issue," it may just be the Year of the Icy British Editrix. Here's what you'll need:
-elegant dress or skirt suit
-bobbed wig with bangs
-fabulous heels
-devil's accessories
-sunglasses
-copy of Vogue
-haughty attitude
You may not be able to snap your fingers and have a designer frock suddenly appear, but you can fake it. Simply throw on your finest skirt suit or dress (bearing in mind that Ms. Wintour does not do black), affix an inverted triangle Prada label you've cleverly made out of construction paper, stick some devil's horns atop your bobbed wig, and slap on some giant black shades. Extra points for carrying a copy of Vogue or having your giant Andre Leon Talley lookalike BFF hover behind you in a cape. Click over to Lemondrop for three more clever ideas!
