I NEED this cozy Missoni sweater wrap that Nicole wore pre-Harlow. Actually, I just need something Missoni in general. I love the iconic zig zag pattern and how the pieces can be worn in multiple seasons.

HSM Chic
Vanessa Hudgens looks so chic and put together on a Thursday afternoon in LA. I love the crisp, white skinnies paired with a tucked in shirt in the season's hottest color. The black patent peep toes and fringe Botkier handbag bring the look to the next level. Vanessa has been quite the fashionista on the HSM3 (tomorrow!) promo tour. I adored her look on TRL this past Tuesday (posted on right).

Lust Object: Louis Vuitton Mahina Bag
I am in love with the Louis Vuitton Mahina Bag in this off white color. It would be great year round since it's not stark white which helps somewhat justify the extreme price tag ($3,360 for the XL version). It also come in black, an oliveish grey, silver and bronze as well as 4 sizes.

Hot Headbands
Famous fashionistas like Natalie Portman and Nicole Richie along with Gossip Girl queen Blair Waldorf have been spotted in designs from Jennifer Behr. I love that there is such an array of pieces which range from crystal hippie to feminine floral. Prices for Jennifer Behr's prices range from approximately $50 to $395.
A cheaper and understated alternative is Rachel Leigh's "Hippie Chic Headbands," which was spotted on Lauren Conrad at her Fashion Week Spring 09 runway show and goes for $66 at ShopBop.com.

My Perfume Collection
I love perfume and thought it be fun to share my collection! I'm always adding new ones but usually end up wearing the same staples.
From back left: Gucci Envy Me, Hanae Mori, Stella, Flower by Kenzo, Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Purse Spray, and Child Oil(hidden behind Marc Jacobs). From front left: Quelques Fleurs, Lolita Lempicka, Hilary Duff With Love, Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Extreme and Marc Jacobs. Another favorite not picture is Kai perfume oil.
And the Winner is...
Leanne! I was really not impressed with her runway collection but was pretty certain that she was going to win after hearing the judge's comments. I do have to say that I liked Kenley's collection at Fashion Week the best! Leanne's clothes were well executed but the color palette was a little boring in my opinion. Can't wait for next season!
My favorite looks from Kenley's collection:

Product Obsession: La Mer
It started with the creme. Then I just had to have the lip balm (which smells of vanilla mint). Then it turned into a full blown La Mer obsession; I now wash my face with the cleansing foam, follow up with the tonic, next use the radiant infusion, and finish my face with a dose of either the creme or moisturizing gel cream. When my skin needs an extra boost I use the refining facial and I am most obsessed with my tube of the body creme. Pricey, but oh so worth it.
La Mer can be bought at Saks, Neiman Marcus and lamer.com

Top Model: Doutzen Kroes
Doutzen Kroes (I can't even come close to pronouncing that right) is a Victoria Secret model and for good reason: She is beautiful. Her body is the perfect mix of skinny and curvy plus she has a drop dead gorgeous face. Lucky.

Stylish Duo: JT & JB
JT and his lady love Jessica Biel look so incredibly stylish wandering the streets of Milan. I am in love with Jess' leopard scarf (especially if it's the Louis Vuitton one I want). I appreciate how they are just wearing basics but use accessories to make their outfits fresh and fun!
Gossip Girl: Blair Waldorf
OMG I just love Blair's style, especially in the past two episodes of Gossip Girl. The one shoulder chartreuse dress that she wore during her scandalous party with the Lord and Chuck was divine especially with the jewel detailed headband. This past Monday I was obsessed with her little white caplet with the black rosette collar...I mean could a school uniform look anymore chic? I think not. XOXO
Cutest Ice Cream Truck Ever
So I was walking through Soho after a massage at Haven and saw the cutest ice cream truck selling all natural ice cream. They had a tons of yummy flavors and I can't wait to go back and try one when I am hungry! On top of that I loved the name because it reminds me of one of my besties :)
Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream is sold at 3 locations in NYC: Soho @ Greene & Prince, University b/w 11th & 12th, and Broadway b/w 74th & 76th
Favorites: Mascara
One of my beauty esstentials is mascara. I have probably tried every formula under the sun and always come back to my favorites. My two all time favorites are YSL's Faux Lashes and MAC Plush Lash and I often keep Chanel Inimitable and Prescriptives Lash Envy in rotation. I always find that it works best to layer mascaras in order to get the perfect volume/curling/length ratio.
Birds of a Feather
So obviously I want everything Nicole Richie wears and I was quite happy to find an exact replica of her little feather headband at Urban Outfitters for $16! I think it will be perfect with Fall's color palette and some tousled waves.

Best Dressed at the Emmys
I'll admit that I didn't even watch the Emmys due to the fact that I was coming back from a fabulous trip to Dallas. But I did tape E!'s Fashion Police which showcases the best and worst dressed on the red carpet which is all I really care about anyways. I thought Law and Order's Mariska Hargitay looked fab in a canary yellow Carolina Herrera, Samantha Who?'s Chirstina Applegate was stunning in Reem Acra, and Debra Messing and Evangeline Lily both rocked their anything but basic frocks (Monique Lhullier and Elie Saab respectively).

The Hills Sightings: LC and Whitney
I've had two sightings of the girls from The Hills in the past 4 days! I first saw Whitney Port on Saturday at 56th and Lexington on my way to Bloomingdales. She was with her new bf and seemed really happy! Then today I saw LC like 5 times at the Coterie Trade Show in NYC. She was in the booth for her line, the Lauren Conrad Collection. She seemed pretty nice and was taking pictures with people. Celeb sightings (whether A or Z-listers) make my days!!!

Guess Who I Just Saw....
RACHEL ZOE!!!! OMG I am still so excited about it...I was going to the Rita Hazan Salon on 56th and 5th in NYC and was waiting to cross the street. A black Yukon pulled up with the windows down and Mrs. Zoe was literally inches in front of me! I wanted to throw my resume in her car and ask her to give me a job but I thought that'd be a little intense. Hopefully I'll meet her for reals someday soon...

Top Model: Hilary Rhoda
The face of Estee Lauder, Hilary Rhoda, is known for her striking brows and ice blue eyes. She was ranked number 12 on Forbes highest ranking super model list in 2007 and was in campaigns for Balenciaga, Dolce and Gabanna, Abercrombie, Gucci, and Valentino to name a few. Often compared to Brooke Sheilds, Rhoda definitely has a long career ahead of her.
