Christian Siriano Fall 2010 Collection

Stylehive showcases season four Project Runway winner Christian Siriano's Fall 2010 collection. The collection was inspired by European women of the 1960's where Siriano showed how classic black always works as well as played with texture as seen in the metallic brocade dress above.

Live Streamed Fashion Shows with More than Mary

I just came across the More than Mary site where she's live streaming fashion shows till the 18th! I got a chance to watch the Diane Von Furstenburg show live and it was exciting to watch that beautiful collection unfold between my eyes as well as watch Rachel Zoe in the front row checking out the goods with her shades on. I like her perspective and the line up of shows she's going to. Check out the full schedule on her site and then visit livestream.com/morethanmary to catch the live action as well as interviews and backstage exclusives. I'm excited for all the fashion shows she's got lined up for Wednesday - Michael Kors, Nanette Lepore, Phillip LIm, and Milly.

I've updated my live stream fashion show listing here with More than Mary's streams.

Marc Jacobs Fall 2010 Fashion Show

Today Marc Jacobs live-streamed his Fall 2010 fashion collection where he showed just why he is the fashion king. Gray played a major role, along with metallic silver and gold for evening, then yellow became the highlight in girly dresses. Faux bows on dresses (love that the bow theme is still strong), plus faux-fur trimmed coats and gray striped coats whisked down the runway as models clutched ever so delicate chain-strapped handbags while the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" played for the entire show. Watch the full uncut fashion show above from Chic.tv.

Model Hyoni Kang gives us her secrets for hair, makeup and fitness on Elle.com. "Everything I use is Kerastase," says Kang. She's also a fan of the Lumiere Nutri-Sculpt. (I just started using that a month ago and it keeps it from drying, especially when I use the flat iron!)

Here are more of my favorite links this week from Elle:

Rebecca Minkoff Fall Presentation 2010

I was honored to be invited to Rebecca Minkoff's Fall Presentation 2010 but couldn't make it to NY this time around. The theme was Paris, Je T'aime featuring cross-over bags, clutches, and handbags inspired by those stylish Parisians. (I am dying for one of her clutches now!) (via Minkette)

There's no need to get stressed over spending money on Valentine's Day. Stylehive rounds up some cute Valentine's Day gifts under $20 that are perfect for expressing your love to your significant other, family, or friends without breaking the bank. I love this plush heart ($18 from Fred Flare) which is perfect for my little girl Chloe.

Isabella Oliver Spring 2010

The Isabella Oliver Spring 2010 Collection is here and I'm crazy over her collection of stylish dresses, especially The Jackie Dress ($229) which features a front-twist detail in a navy and white striped jersey. I love shopping on this site because for most of the individual clothing pages, you get to preview the clothing in a little video so you can see how the outfits move.

Here are more of my favorites from the Spring 2010 collection.

The Tulip T Dress ($149)

The Classic Cap Wrap Dress ($159)

The Pippa Sweater Dress ($229)

The Banded T Dress ($149)

Stylish Gadgets for Valentine's Day

Let's face it. Chocolates are great but who needs the extra calories? For Valentine's Day, I'm all about the techy gadgets and let's be honest, you can only have so many iPods, right? This year, at the top of my list is this HP Mini 210 in red. Starting at just $279.99 this little net book gem will fit in your handbag and keeps you connected when you are on the go!

Here are more picks for stylish gadgets for Valentine's Day:

HP DreamScreen 100 ($199.99 after rebate on HP.com)
A great way to watch all your digital photos, connect to facebook, listen to internet radio and more!

Flip Camcorder with Graffiti Love Hearts Design by David Arquette & Corteney Cox ($199.99 for MinoHD)
This is just plain super cute!

Vestalife Lady Bug II Speakers ($99.95 at Apple Store)
Insert your iPod Touch or iPhone to play music. The flaps fold up into a cute ladybug!

Nikon Coolpix S620 12.2MP Digital Camera ($213 at Amazon)
I love this dusty pink color which looks much more stylish on a night out!
