This Season's Hottest Shoes Mix Leather And Lace

Alex Gambardella on Oct 6, 2009 10:19 AM PDT

As if you need any new additions to your "Shoes I Must Have NOW" list, the latest invasion of sexy footwear is more flirty than ever. Lace details, cut-outs, and overlays are popping up everywhere, in both high-end and affordable brands, from demure J. Crew ballet flats to seriously fierce peep-toe booties by Stuart Weitzman. While lace and leather may more commonly conjure up visions of risque lingerie, and let's face it -- those see-through excuses for lace pants are better suited as a doily than on an actual person (unless you're Lady GaGa), lace-embellished shoes are hot because they bring a certain sexiness without making you feel exposed. After all, a little peep-toe peepshow never hurt anyone! Check out the slideshow for some of the my favorite lacy shoes!

Dolce & Gabbana Launch Luxury Cosmetics Line

Ida Hsiang on Jul 10, 2009 5:27 AM PDT

Dolce & Gabbana, one of the world's top luxury brands, has launched its much-anticipated cosmetics line for early next month. By adding this line, the company will now be a full-fledged beauty house and will be competing with other high-end make-up lines. Dolce & Gabbana already has a very successful fragrance line, so a cosmetics line was a natural next step. Stefano Gabbana stated, while being interviewed by WWD in his elaborately richly decorated drawing room of his office, that he and Domenico Dolce have wanted to do make-up for years now. It's a new direction unlike fragrance. The inspiration for the make-up is derived from the collections. "We see make-up as another thing for women, like a dress. We worked on the line like we worked on a clothing collection- you can change make-up like you change your clothes, depending on your mood," Gabbana added. The sources for inspiration are very familiar to Dolce & Gabbana and the colors are very rich and bold...

Influential International Style: Kate Winslet

kate napleton on Jun 23, 2009 2:25 PM PDT

Kate Winslet made a serious splash this awards season, and I'm not just talking about taking home all the most coveted hardware and, quite remarkably on its own, being nominated in supporting and leading categories for two different films. On the red carpet, Kate made heads turn. Favoring solid colors and classic shapes, Kate always picks looks that flatter her hourglass figure. Her style is defined by clean lines (she is rarely photographed in patterns) but carries just enough interest to keep us constantly wondering what she'll wear next. Whether its Zac Posen, Dolce & Gabbana, Carmen Marc Valvo or Escada, she always looks good. Check out my slideshow for ways to adopt Kate Winslet's your (friendship with Leonardo Dicaprio not included). Photo credit: PR Photos

Influential International Style: Helena Christensen

kate napleton on Jun 7, 2009 5:08 AM PDT

How many women of incredible fashion influence can call themselves Victoria's Secret Angels? Well, Heidi and friends had good company in Helena Christensen, the Danish beauty queen and bonafide supermodel. Her fashion credentials run much deeper, as she co-founded Nylon magazine and is its first (and only) creative director. An accomplished photographer, she's had exhibitions in galleries from The Netherlands to China. But her style? To die for, just ask Zac Posen. The woman takes risks, and it pays off. She bridges the gap between red-carpet classic and indie princess. Her looks are always daring, yet demure. She mixes funky with traditional in colors, patterns, and a deep love of sequins. Check out my slideshow for tips on how to Helena Christensen-ize your wardrobe! Photo credit: PR Photos
