Michael Kors Spring 2008 Fashion Show

Michael Kors seems to be taking the reigns from Ralph Lauren as the King of classic American fashion. Sure these models look like the live in the Hamptons, but Kors gives us a taste for the modern high-life with his array of flowy gowns, cute tennis dresses, and cropped safari style jackets, belted of course. Plus all his handbags are drool worthy.

Key Looks: flowy gowns, shorts, safari style jackets, belted jackets and sweaters.
Key Colors: whites, lavender, pink, yellow, green, black.

Dahl by Alison Kelly Spring 2008 Fashion Show

Alison Kelly the former Project Runway contestant from Season 3 debuted her Spring 2008 Dahl collection on the runways at Nolcha Fashion Week in NY which spotlighted the more up and coming designers we'll see more of in the future.

I was particularly drawn to Alison Kelly's collection because I always loved her fashionable style (sexy, modern, young) and I loved the idea of what inspired her collection.

"I dreamt of China in 1920, there was a woman sitting next to an elegantly dressed gentleman in an old Rolls Royce, she was the image of beauty, wearing a beautiful gown of sage green, jewels and lacquered hair. Her eminence comes to life in this collection.” says Kelly.

Here are a few more pieces from the Dahl by Alison Kelly Spring 2008 Fashion Show:

Coco Mademoiselle

As part of the marketing campaign for Chanel's new fragrance Coco Mademoiselle, Chanel sent 200 fashion bloggers a sample gift featuring a box of Coco Mademoiselle perfume and a DVD from the Keira Knightly shoot which showcases Coco Chanel's Paris apartment. It was a huge honor for me to be selected as I love Chanel, especially Chanel perfume (I wear Chance). I read in the NY Times that a select few bloggers also got to go to Paris, including one of my favorite fashion blogs, Blogdorf Goodman. Don't miss her great posts which include lots of amazing photos!

To see what's on the DVD, just log into mademoiselle-forever.com to see the same videos, but in interactive form.

Best Dressed at the 2007 Emmys

Last night's Emmy Awards was a total snore but I love myself a red carpet! I watched all the festivities on E! last night. My favorite looks were by these three stunning celebs, Katherine Heigel, Heidi Klum (loved her hair!), and Eva Longoria who's nude Christian Louboutin pumps got some prime coverage in Ryan Seacrest's opening.

Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 Fashion Show

Marc Jacobs had fun at his show reinterpreting looks from the different decades and eras in his spring 2008 collection. I loved the dresses and gowns from the show and these 20's style outfits above that followed the flowy dress trend of spring. Everyday dresses in black and white prints or floral patterns (one of the key themes) also had a nice long silky silouette. I also loved the cocktail dresses in layers of tulle for the 50's debutant and the sleek modern evening gowns.

Key Looks: flowy dresses, floral dresses, shorts, sheer fabrics and layers.
Key Colors: black, red, beige, purple, grey, and pastels.

3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2008 Fashion Show

Yellow was a major theme at the 3.1 Phillip Lim spring 2008 show. If you had any doubt that the yellow we saw this season was a passing fancy, Lim's show makes you realize it's versatility and panache in the series of dresses, jackets, tops, and accessories that were in this magical color. I also loved the detail flower overlays that adorned some of the tops in this decorative and bib like fashion.

Key Looks: cropped jackets, thin belted shorts, wide belts for dresses and skirts, cropped pants.
Key Colors: yellow, red, grey, beige, cream, white, and black.

Topshop Cap Sleeve Cardigan

More fashion week posts and round ups will be coming but first, here's this drool worthy sweater from Topshop. I love this Cap Sleeve Chunky Cardigan (£35 or approx $71) with it's offset panels and cute ribbed tiny pockets.

Twenty8Twelve

Sienna Miller and her sister Savannah have launched a new clothing line Twenty8Twelve. Seleted pieces from their collection are available now at Neiman Marcus like this jacket and bow-tie dress. Definitely pricier than most celeb lines lately, but I do like the construction and detail of these pieces. Knowing that sister Savanah worked previously under Alexander McQueen helps.

Here are more picks from the collection:

Cropped Leather Jacket ($550)

Pleated Blouse ($260)

Cotton Metallic Trench Dress ($690)
