Sporting a clutch is always in, but check out this funky fresh take on a classic from Marc by Marc Jacobs. It’s the oversized Airliner Magazine Clutch, seen here in black, but also available in bright blue. The bag is backordered in most places like Neiman Marcus, Barney’s and Net-A-Porter.

Add a blast of color to your wardrobe this summer with accessories. If you’re afraid to step too far over the edge, try a brightly hued tie-dye scarf like TDM Design’s in ‘Maison Sun’, or play with colors and textures in your handbag. Dior’s ‘Gipsy’ Ruffles Large Bag is big on both color and ruffle.

Not quite.

The footwear company has reportedly tapped LA based designer Rozae Nichols to design a 14-piece outerwear line.

The collection will feature a selection of jackets and sweaters, all with Ugg’s signature stitching. There have apparently also been talks for an Ugg 2009 handbag line.

Patterns are IN, IN, IN this season! Which is why you should try plaid.

This classic style gets a modern update all over the runway this year with new and interesting details.

This Elizabeth and James Bonfire shirt stands out as a mix between masculine and feminine (side note: it was designed by the Olsen twins).

Rihanna: Goddess

R&B singer Rihanna strikes a statuesque pose in a stunning one-shouldered draped gown. The grey goddess dress skims right over those little problem areas while still accentuating the curves. A gold bow and train added dramatic detail in the back.

Jennifer Lopez: High-waist Pants

JLo knows how to rock her curves with the high-waist pant. Despite the initial turnoff some may have to this 70’s inspired style, a high waist is actually much more flattering than those oh-so-low ones.

They add control to the belly and make the leg look lean, slender and long, and accentuate all those beautiful curves.

Scarlett Johansson: Full-skirted Dresses

The glamorous actress looked to-die-for in the latest trend in dresses: the cocktail length full-skirt. The cut glams up any look while still keep it young and fresh.

The silk gown is Oscar de la Renta and the black pumps are Miu Miu. Paired with fishnet tights, Scarlett looks very modern vintage.

Victoria Beckham: Bright Colors

One of my favorite fashionistas looks glam in bright orange as the judge at the final Project Runway fashion show.

The stylish British import opted for a monochromatic look with the Donna Karan dress and matching Versace sandals, accessorizing only with a few gold bangles and her signature oversized sunglasses.

Gwen: Global Inspiration

Gwen rocks the gorgeous baby-mama look with an African inspired empire waist gown. She manages to look both sophisticated and very appropriate for the occasion; Stefani was attending Madonna’s benefit for Malawi at the UN.

The dress is from the rock star/fashion maven’s own line LAMB.

I am so thrilled to announce that Coco avant Chanel is in production, starring French actress Audrey Tautou (of Amelie fame) set to play legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel.

Directed by Anne Fontaine, the film will cover the designer’s life pre-Chanel, from learning to sew in an orphanage as a child, to making costumes for herself as a cabaret singer.
