All the attention Kate Moss has gotten for sporting some gray streaks aside, her looks that seem to consistently draw the most attention involve leopard. Above on the left is photo of the Pencey High Collar Coat ($380) which looks like it could have been plucked out of Moss' closet. She has worn leopard coats, jackets, and separates on more occasions than I could count and like most of what she wears I want to run right out and get one for myself! Unfortunately while Moss pulls off the looks effortlessly, I look like I'm about to go work a street corner or in the midst of getting ready for a costume party every time I try on a leopard jacket. Plus I can't help but feel like an imitator because -- at least in my mind -- I think leopard I think Moss. So, alas, I shall remain leopard-less (at least if you ignore the lining of my Dolce&Gabbana shoes, bags, and a few bras:-) )

What do you think about Kate Moss-inspired leopard? Snob or Slob?

I understand taking risks in fashion is sometimes necessary to reach a new style horizon and that avant-guard fashion can be really cool. But at the end of the day I hope fashion is about flattering the human form and not the other way around. Take this Maison Martin Margiella trench cape for example--we all know that the past season is about the exaggerated shoulders but this coat with the filmsy slanted shoulder flaps reminds me of a defeated samurai warrior. I mean can you imagine wearing this in a crowded elevator or train? "Un, excuse me miss, your right shoulder flap is in my face" "Do you mind folding your flaps so we can squeeze one more into the elevator?" Personally I find the saumrai warrior custome ($60.88 at wondercostume.com) more musculine and dare I say "stylish" in a Modonna S&M kinda way, but if you find yourself purchaseing this $1155 trench cape, you migth consider getting the sword to match for the extra "umph" factor.

As much as I love New York City I can't help but think I should re-arrange my life and set it up in a bi-coastal fashion. I grew-up in NYC (and am so attached to my parents that I still live a block away from them/where I grew-up....!), and I even went to Cornell for my undergrad degree where the temperatures are nothing short of frigid, yet winter after winter I seem to have a harder time dealing with the cold. The result? I consistently fail to dress weather-appropriately and find myself with a constant cold! Luckily post-Fashion Week I have a trip to Miami planned where I hopefully can get my Vitamin D fix and trade in my LBD for a sunny LWD! Am loving this Ports 1961 Sheath Dress ($625)...kind of frugal RM Roland Mouret, no? It can easily be dressed-up with high heels, bold cuffs or cocktail rings, and diamond statement earrings, or dressed down with just a watch and some flats. The only part of the dress I'm not gaga over is the bow in the back which makes it look a bit like an apron. Turning the bow into more of a small knot by repeatedly tying it should fix that though. Can't wait to see the Fall/Winter 2010 Ports 1961 Fashion Week collection this week!

I have never gotten into oversized boyfriend sweaters, I mean who wants to look like a sloppy guy?  Not me!  But I do have days when I don't want to be stuffed like a sausage in yet another tight dress, either.  On those days, I need a comfy chic piece like the YSL ruffle hem cashmere sweater above.  It's fitted without being tight and the flirty ruffle hem will sure come in handy on days I feel bloated!  This is a great travel piece in the cold weather, too.  A pair of skinny jeans or leggings with boots is all you need to complete the look.  Yves Saint Laurent Ruffle-hem cashmere sweater $985

Simply put: Usher is the man. In the gravy train that seems to drop on us a new singer/rapper every other day, Usher has what many don't: longevity. The same can also be said of his style. While his counterparts wore diamond grills and logo everything, Usher tapped an inner elegance thanks to Giorgio Armani. These days, he's expanded his sartorial pursuits--and I like the results. At the Grammy Awards this past weekend, the always dapper entertainer wore a stunning Neil Barrett black blazer with dual leather collar that had me doing a double take--largely because it had just been shown during Milan Fashion Week two weeks prior on Jan. 17! Usher undoubtedly wore the runway sample, but if you've got the body...why not? When he performed on stage, he removed the jacket to reveal another Barrett piece: a waistcoast with leather inserts. Gents, take a note from Usher: it's all about fit, fit, fit. Barrett designs for a swimmer's body (think lean) and his precise cut is incredibly sharp and sleek--he's the closest men's designer to Savile Row in my opinion. While Usher is certainly at the top of the game, he shares his perch with the likes of John Legend and Jay-Z--two other heavyweights who have perfected the art of balancing street cred and high style with panache and, most importantly, dignity. Because at the end of the day, would Cary Grant have worn a pimp cup?

Brian Atwood is fast becoming my favorite shoe designer, his designs are edgy yet timeless and have plenty of sex appeal!  What else can you ask of a shoe?  Seriously, look at the "Kendall" shoe Amanda Seyfried has on-- this is one of the hottest shoes of the season!  I am not loving her dress, however, the plunging waistline neckline thing is really tired.  I prefer a bare back.  Brian Atwood at Net-a-porter.com

Jason Wu introduced his new eyewear collection with Modo on the runway of his Spring 2010 show on September 11th, 2009. The collection will arrive in-stores this January. "Launching an eyewear collection felt like a natural progression for the Jason Wu brand," explained designer Jason Wu. "The pieces combine sleek, modern finishes, which I love, with unusual materials and details. I wanted to put my stamp on an item which would be accessible to a broader market  and  with an inherently chic connotation--sunglasses." The sunglass and optical collection was inspired by the modern and innovative ready-to-wear collections of designer Jason Wu. It will consist of four styles, two feminine and two unisex, and will be available in four to five finishes per style. The colors include semi-translucent crystals in aquamarine, topaz, onyx, opal, olivine, noir, caramel and richly textured tortoise. The shapes include:

1) Seberg: An updated cat-eye, slightly rounded with metal brow detail.
2) Earhart: An oversized aviator with metal brow bar and end piece.
3) Jett: A quirky, retro-inspired shape.
4) Mia : A timeless, oversized frame with beveled edges.

The materials include handmade Japanese plastic with double-brushed stainless steel details and double-gradient CR-39 lenses. Each style is distinguished by subtle logo treatments in one of four different accent colors, which correspond to the interior treatments on Jason's garments. The collection will retail for $275.

Thinking back at all the Valentine's Days I spent with boyfriends I can't recall any where I got the guy something! Is that normal? Not sure...but I am sure that had I known about Pantygram my memories would be quite different! What Pantygram does is send a pair of red, lacey panties to your boyfriend/husband/love interest. The panty comes in a discreet package (frequently women have it sent to men while they're at work..naughty!), with a note attached that directs the man to a web page where he enters the verification code and gains access to a private, often suggestive message from his loved one. Women have sent panties all over the world to husbands stationed in Iraq, traveling on business to Canada, Bermuda, France, Greece, Germany, Japan, Puerto Rico, Romania...such a fun idea! I love that it lets you be as romantic or as playful as you like and it's totally frugal since it's available anywhere around the world for $24.95 :-)
