It's hard to escape the massive influx of white dresses we've seen on the red carpet lately. From dramatic ballgowns to sleek, fitted styles; it seems white is taking over from black as the go-to colour for events. This got me thinking a lot about wedding dresses.

Just when you thought it was safe to declare the jegging trend officially over, out comes the newest legging trend, the tregging! This new form of pant is a cross between trousers, and you guessed it, leggings, and will hopefully put an end to the whole leggings-worn-as-pants problem, (which quite frankly, was never a good look on anyone). You see, this updated hybrid version has all the benefits of traditional leggings — comfort, a fitted silhouette and ankle skimming length, but the added bonus of trouser details such as pockets, a waistband and thicker fabrics.

Next in line to styling, I would have to say my greatest skill is the art of packing.
A while back, Phillip Lim announced that he was going to add footwear to his ready-to-wear line. Finally, that day is officially upon us — you can now purchase his divine creations ranging from US$395 for the CSL Willow Lace-Up Wedge to US$875 for the SKG Dee-Dee Ankle Boot, which Rachel Zoe is also crushing on. Contrary to what it looks like from afar, the KPP Bowery Booty (US$850) features spotted calf hair, not studs.
Total texture dominated the red carpet at the Emmy Awards. Be it metallics, florals, ruffles, sequins, or pleats, fabrics were layered, stitched, and cinched to create deep, textural tones and ignite visual intrigue. Each textural gown delivered something unique, like January Jones's metallic blue Versace, Heidi Klum's black Marchesa, and Emily Deschanel's purple tiered wonder.
Yet another reason to shop in Lucette's cute Paddington store. From mid-September, the Aussie label will be stocking luxurious handbags from environmentally friendly accessories brand, After the Apple. The range includes a selection of must-have styles which will take you from desk to dinner with ease.
She does it every time — Jennifer Behr's eclectically cool collection delivers every season, and Autumn/ Winter '10 is no exception. Luxurious details play up edgy with mixed metal chains, studs, and rhinestones, the gypsy-styled princess with sculptural turbans and rich velvet, and the perfectly pretty with frills, lace, and bows. I imagine you wouldn't need more than one of these to dress up your Winter attire.
Besides making denim a top priority for Fall, Tory Burch has also made sure to have fashiony fun. Her latest look book is not only impeccably styled, but it's also the epitome of good times. There's lots of movement, with clusters of models posing happily in everything from feathered jackets to leather to lace-up booties to bright hues.
