The Fashion Week Game

New York Fashion Week officially kicked off yesterday - although the good shows don't start until tomorrow, sooo excited for Preen. If you're currently running between collections and waiting around for the shows to start why not play a little game of What Can I See?
I've compiled a checklist for each city of the key moments to look out for. Give yourself a point each time you spot a pair of Isabel Marant boots in Paris or Christopher Kane Croc tee in London and tally up your scores at the end of the week.

Also, don't forget tonight is Fashion's Night Out... What are you all going to be doing?

Congratulations Nicole

It feels like there have been no new pictures of Nicole Richie for months. Of course, she was busy with her second pregnancy, but I really missed her. Whenever I was putting together a hit and miss post that felt a little empty I always wanted some Nicole pictures to fill in the gaps.
Hopefully she'll be back soon as yesterday she had a son, Sparrow James Midnight Madden.


Above both Joel and Nicole carrying Harlow, who is the cutest celeb baby out there - and has the most fabulous winter wardrobe.

Thought on the name Sparrow?

Wednesday Talking Points

Freida Pinto in Christopher Kane:


At last nights GQ Man of the Year awards Freida wore one of my favourite dresses from the Christopher Kane F/W collection. I'm used to seeing Freida in designs which fall more into the glamorous category, but 'edgy' really works for her.

PPQ & Cadbury Get Together:


PPQ have designed two bespoke charms to be sold with special boxes of KOKO (milk chocolate truffle) by Cadbury. The chocolate is in stores nationwide now and the chocolates and the charm together retail at £20.

Does Anyone Want this Top?


I have watched this Vanessa Bruno Athé top get cheaper and cheaper. It first started off in the Net-A-Porter sale (this was about a year ago), it was on the Outnet the day in launched and it's still there now. I'm actually tempted to buy them all just so I won't have to look at it anymore. If it catches your eye it's now £19.20 and you can buy it (please do) HERE.

Is Charlotte a Granny?


I had been looking forward to the first proper pictures of Kristen Davis on set of the SATC movie because Charlotte was arguably the best thing about the movie. Why is she dressed like my 90 year old Grandmother though? It's terrible. Also Cynthia (I was going to call her Miranda, are we naming them by actress of character at the moment?) looks amazing. Loving that dress.

The Wait is Nearly Over

Ever since the AnOther covers were released I have been counting down till the advanced copies go on sale (Thursday at Liberty, if you didn't know). I'm so excited for this issue that pretty much every night I talk about it on facebook chat with my friend Dani - incredibly sad, I know.

This morning the Dazed Group emailed me a link to some of the images from the Decade in Style Portfolio. In celebration of a decade in fashion AnOther Magazine has paired 29 of the most influential designers with 29 of fashion's finest accomplices, including Kirsten Dunst, Ashley Olsen and Chloe Sevigny. Here are a few for you to enjoy.

It's lovely to see clothes from 'old' collections modeled again. And my, the things I would do for the Miu Miu dress Chloe is wearing....

View the rest of the preview images HERE.

And on the subject of magazines the September issue of W finally arrived in the UK. I'm so impressed my magazine man had it before Borders.

Manolo

"If people talk to me about Sex and the City I get sick."

Manolo Blahnik tells The Sunday Telegraph about his disslike for the show. Guess that means you shouldn't tell him that Smith may come back for the second SATC movie if you run into him.

The Next Sienna?

People always say Jude Law made Sienna Miller famous. I believe that to be incorrect; Jude Law got people to take pictures of Sienna Miller, but her amazing style made people want to see more of her.
I'm thinking the same thing could soon happen with Norwegian model Sophia Lie. Never heard of her? Neither had I until she started dating Josh Hartnett - who to be honest I care so little about, I only know he has a girlfriend because I read Just Jared.



There's a lot of Sienna in her look, no? I love the white dress and the zip clutch bag. Next to Josh she does look totally overdressed, but she obviously knows this is her moment, she's gotta work for it.
After all, I would say people are more interested in Sienna than Jude (except for the times he gets random women pregnant) now.

If your very interested in Josh Hartnett's love life and want to check Sophia out she has a very small thread on The Fashion Spot, HERE. A thread that I expect will grow quickly.

What do you think of Sophia, great style or Sienna clone?

Hit and Miss of the Week: Eva in Leopard Print

Sometimes a fabulous dress can make my week, this week it was Eva Mendes in Dolce & Gabbana. I love leopard print, love Eva and am a sucker for a big Hollywood smile, therefore this look blew me away.
Also this week Rumer Willis has been looking fantastic. She started off in a beautiful Zac Posen dress and then moved on to a Stella lace jacket, which Rachel McAdams then wore the next day. Which means... who wore it better?
