Whilst the Autumn collections start to appear in stores, I am noticing a lot of asymmetric hem dresses. These frocks play with dimension and add an interesting touch to an outfit.
I have spotted this style everywhere from luxury labels to the High Street. One of my favourites is this blue Vivienne Westwooddress (£229) which you could wear to work or at night with heels.
September is on it's way and with it a clutch of fresh new hunks fronting our favourite fragrances, cosmetics brands and skincare lines. The latest is rugged actor Gerard Butler who was revealed today as the new spokesman for L’Oréal Paris Men’s Expert. He joins a bevvy of others, from Jude Law, who is set to front Dior's new men's fragrance, to Clive Owen who's starring in Bulgari's new men's scent campaign. Personally I love all these guys, although I still hold a soft spot for Dolce and Gabbana favourite David Gandy! Out of the new crop: Gerard, Jude and Clive, who do you prefer?
It's hard to believe, but Olivia Palermo has only just scored her first British cover. The City star has been snapped by ASOS magazine for Autumn/Winter 2010. It's a beautiful shoot with a great range of pieces to buy from the online superstore. I am loving the accessories, especially the hats. Click through to see photos from the feature of Ms. Palermo.
Those of you who can't wait for season four of hit show Mad Men I have a tit bit of news to keep you going. You may have already been working the show's iconic 1960s look, but soon you'll even be able to have matching Mad Mennail polish! News emerged today that the show's costume designer Janie Bryant has teamed with US based company Nailtini on a capsule rage of shades inspired by the show.
The collection takes its cue from the cocktail dress fabrics of the era, from Lame to velvet and satin. There's an iridescent shade called Bourbon Satin, a Brown called French 75, a Gold call Deuville and a platinum call Stinger. At the moment they're only set for U.S. release, but I'm hoping they'll make it over here. (That, or I'll have to swing by a Duane Reade store when I'm next over.)
Costume designer Janie certainly seems to be running with her success. This month she also unveiled plans for a Mad Men fashion collection with QVC. She's also won global recognition for her work, not least on the catwalks where designers continue to reference Mad Men's iconic look. I'm excited to see what she comes up with next!

The singer has been in a private clinic battling the illness, so her trip to Starbucks in Guilford yesterday is a great sign that she's finally on the mend.
It's nearly been 40 years since Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel died and interest in her life shows no signs of abating.
