    Personally, I'm so excited that "Mad Men" has started up again. Aside from the great plotlines, the show acts as a beautiful reminder of what I love about vintage dresses -- the idea that we should dress for every occasion. Okay, I realize that it's just a TV show, but my grandmother would say that it's how she lived her life -- in style. Maybe it runs in the family. Anyway, as much as I like vintage dresses, sometimes I want the modern equivalent: sexy, well-presented, yet with immaculate details. Montreal-based designer Valerie Dumaine perfectly quenches these cravings, with mid-century silhouettes with shorter hemlines and contemporary elements. Her new fall collection is available now, and with price points in the $125-$150 (US) range, you get unique dresses with a vintage modern twist. My favorites are the Cairo Tulip Dress, the Ines Pencil Skirt, and the Jean Pencil Dress! Once you're done browsing, don't forget to head over to The Coveted for more vintage fashion done modern!

    There are a few celebrities that usually hit the mark when it comes to fashion, while many miss the bull-eye time and time again. Then there's Gwyneth Paltrow, who appears flawlessly fashionable whether she's at a movie premiere or pushing her baby stroller down the street! And yes, she does it again at the "Spain... on the Road Again" Television Series Launch Party. Gwyneth appeared casual yet sophisticated in an almost all black ensemble, allowing just a small glimpse of her gray cotton shirt to peek out. She went back to the basics with this look, keeping it simple and chic, because no girl can do wrong with a playful black leather pencil skirt! Pair it with the classic and versatile combination of black tights and black heels and you're good to go just about anywhere! To complete the look, she sports a year-round favorite-- the perfect black blazer with three-quarter length sleeves--an item every girl should have hanging in her closet. Get inspired by Gwyneth's chic look and go back to the basics in my SLIDESHOW!
