Trust Your Style Shows Off Vivienne Westwood from London Fashion Week

Heidi Klum is not just a supermodel extraordinaire, she is also a business woman and head of Project Runway as well as a style icon to every generation. But it is no secret that the reason she isn’t modeling anymore is because well, she’s kinda getting up there in age and is simply ‘aged out’ of prospective jobs within the industry. But this is not to say that she is not beautiful, so how does she do it? Believe it or not healthy looking hair is one way to take instant years off, and it doesn’t take a lot of work. The drier and frizzier your strands are, the more years you add to your face. How can you take years off YOUR look without spending a fortune or requiring a bevy of stylists at your fingertips?

Oh yes, it’s that time of year again when we have to start thinking about pulling out the longer sleeves. Some of you may have already begun to do so, and others are looking at the closet and thinking you need some tweaking this year. So what can you expect to see in sweater trends this Fall?

The best dressed in Hollywood have been waiting anxiously for the 2008 release of People’s 10 Best Dressed List, and since there are only 10 slots to fill up, you can imagine that a few tears were shed over this year’s list. Yes, even I was surprised, as many of the names that cropped up I do not disagree with their style choices, but more on their locale on the list of ‘Best Dressed’. Naturally some names that came up had no shock value, but well….let’s just say the ones that *didn’t* quite make the cut really surprised me.

Ever since she appeared in tres fashionable ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ Anne Hathaway has become an overnight style icon. And here she is at the Beverly Hills premiere of her new movie ‘Rachel Getting Married’ in a stunning Oscar de la Renta dress paired with *To. Die. For.* pumps by the fabulous Christian Louboutin. Like this look? No cheapies today girls, but you can drool, or pick up this very gown, or these very shoes right here…..

No, this is not THE actual dress that Anne wore, but it is the same dress that she wore by Oscar de la Renta. This gorgeous gown features a shirred strapless bodice, flurry upon flurry of pleated ruffles, all on a sweet printed Italian silk fabric. The bodice lining is cotton tulle, and the organza lining is a silk crepe de chine luxurious fabric. The dress just SOUNDS pretty, before you even try it on. Stunning.

*Sigh* And then of course we have the Louboutin pumps to pair. And well, they pretty much speak for themselves, don’t they? Here you have his classic pump in a beautiful glittery silvery gray patent leather. Need I say more? Uh no.

Linley Hall at London Fashion Week was the setting in play for the latest collection of Adidas by Stella McCartney. The traditional runway was transformed into ‘Stella’s Gym’ so that viewers and guests could see Stella’s work in action, and worn the way it was intended to be worn. By the type of people that the pieces were intended to be worn by – athletes. And just to get her point made crystal clear, the models themselves were none other than Olympic athletes and included stars such as Allyson Felix and Victoria Pendleton. That’s our Stella, whether she is showcasing a RTW collection of fine fabrics and garments, or whether she is showcasing a collection of activewear, she is thinking and designing outside the box. Why? So that her real pieces can be worn by real people, of all shapes and sizes.
