Are You A Dandy?

After a far-too-long stint showing in Milan, Christopher Bailey has brought the brand home, and the collection couldn't be better! The collection is quintessentially English and there's an unmistakable air of effortlessness that's been adopted by aristocrats and young stars alike. I am loving the draped tops, and the whole modern edge the iconic British Dandy is adopting. It's a little bit high tea, a little bit Punk, and a little bit Calvin Klein...when Calvin was at the helm...and a whole lotta London. 

Dylan's Pick:"Black Pac A Mac Trench Coat" 
$577.50

Gritty Pretty Side Braid

Designer Alexander Wang debuted this look in his latest runway show, it looks fairly easy to do and is a great look for this fall season. To accomplish this look: just backcomb your roots, side part your hair, tease and pull the fringe/front layers forward, pull all the hair round to one side and loosely braid it. To make your face look fresh with this look, use neutral browns and nude colors. 

Vicki Lynn Denim Line Launches

Coto De Caza, CA-Vicki Gunvalson opened up her Coto home last night for her denim launch party, with a fashion show and performance by Jive recording artist Livvi Franc. Vicki paired up with celebrity designer Michael Costello to create three distinct styles for the everyday businesswoman, mother and housewife who is in search of the perfect pair of jeans. Bravo attended the event and caught all of the fashion, the housewives and, of course, the drama on film. Our 944 crew got hooked up with these fashionable and high-tech bluetooths, which we can't wait to use for our latest fall accessory. The party was a a success, and I think Vicki's Line will be as well.

My "Edgy-Glam" look

A fun and glamorous rocker-chic outfit great for a night on the town, dinner, or out with friends. Styled by me.

Take Flight

I've always liked aviator sunglasses worn by fighter pilots back in day, one of the most famous aviatrix Amelia Earhart inspires this fall look. This tribute includes a mix of sporty yet luxe vintage-inspired flight gear with fur embellishments. I'm sure Amelia would appreciate that Phillip Lim flight jacket, to keep warm on those cold fall mornings. 

Who's that girl?

Would you believe me if I told you American Idol runner-up Katharine Mcphee hacked her hair off and dyed it blond? She did! And she looks great, with this new look, comes "Unbroken" her sophmore album with songs written by Kat her self and Ingrid Michaelson which is available October 6th. Im excited to see whats in store, she is very talented and with this new look she will definatley shine.

Britney has a surprise

Latley there has been much speculation about Britney Spears releasing new material in the near future. BRITanica over at Britney.com posted a riddle mentioning many of Britney's hit singles, hinting towards what fans think could be the "Singles Collection," the riddle ends saying "So sit back and relax, be patient one more tim3,The answer can be found within this little rhyme." Also her managers assistant tweeted "Very exciting announcement that many of you have been waiting for coming this week, stay tuned.." Britney loves surprises and wowing the audience, so hopefully it's something worth waiting for.

The eighties revival

When people think about the 1980's, most would say it was a time with great music and bad fashion. Designers have dug out the very best from the decade of excess like neon brights, bold shoulders and metallic accessories. A nice mix of todays trends with a little madonna circa 1986 could be a hot outfit for this fall season. Just beware-while 80's fashion might be making a comeback, leave the big hair at home.

Gossip Girl is back on tonight! I didn't follow it the last two seasons, but this time I am going to tivo every single episode. I love the fashion, Blair always has great outfits and accessories to match. Gossip Girl party! Champagne and popcorn. Drama not included. XOXO Gossip Boy.

Tip Numero Uno: Flashbulbs

Can't see with those bright flashbulbs blinding your eyes? The best way to fight the paps is to have very dark sunglasses, wearable day or night. And it's better when they cover half your face, its a good disguise. Gucci has these amazing over sized aviator glasses, that Lady Gaga wore, perfect for shielding your self from the blinding lights.

Mod Squad

I love fall for a two reasons: the fashion, and the weather. One trend I wanna try is the black nail polish, but I don't want it to look "punk" but more goth-couture with high waisted pants and a henley loose shirt. Colors I love right now are navy, black, dark purple and fuschia. MAC is releasing a "Style Black" line,

with black lipstick, nail polish, and shadows.

Do you think you could pull off black lipstick?
