1. In every outfit, I always try and incorporate a single trend, but in a subtle way.
2. I would describe my style as modern, but classic.
3. I always like to wear one very structured piece, like a great jacket or a skirt.
4. For next season I like the look of all the embellished clothes, and those copper-toned metallics, although not everyone can pull that off…
5. You don’t always have to stay high end – I like mixing and matching.
6. My favourite item of clothing right now is a Topshop white cardigan with a pale blue pinstripe; it’s so easy to wear.
7. My favourite accessory is my Chloe ‘Gemma’ bag, which I bought in

10. One great piece can take you through an entire season. Like, recently, I bought these Sergio Rossi silver brogues. I bought them in

Sessilee Lopez Model Behavior Cat Fight With Chanel Iman
During London Fashion Week critics were buzzing about how Chanel Iman’s boyfriend was accompanying her to every show. While people assumed it was just love others say it was because she was worried about fellow model Sessilee Lopez starting some mess.
Some say Sessilee is known for starting trouble and most recently had a tantrum backstage at a show and began throwing chairs at people. On the other hand people say it was Chanel who started rumors about Sessilee because of her jealousy that Sessilee got the Italian Vogue cover and she didn’t. Can't we just all get along.

Minx Nails My Addiction
MINX Nails are definitely one of the hottest trends in the nail industry right now. I've worn MINX to many social events and believe me , they are real conversation starters. I was introduce to MINX Nails in 2008 at Bella Mia Spa and fell in love. Once you wear MINX it is difficult to convert back to polish.
The MINX Manicure cost $40.00 for a set, the treatment usually last me for five days, and yes I go back for another set. My aunt has
put me on notice that I may only have three treatments
per month. My addiction to MINX is so bad that, if
I cant wear MINX I will not wear anything on my nails at all.

Diane von Furstenberg Talks To Harper Bazaar About Having Cancer And A Time When People Thought She Was A Has Been
Bazaar: In 1989 you moved back to New York. Did you lose yourself?
DVF: Yes a bit. So when I came back to New York, I saw I had lost that identity I had, from the minute I first arrived. I just felt completely irrelevant and people look at me as a has- been. I tried to get my business back it was in the hands of people who did not care, it had lost its spirit, it was horrible. It was really hard and really bad. As a result I got cancer in my tongue, I think it was because I was unable to express myself.
Bazaar: How did you find out you had cancer?
DVF: I had lunch with Ralph Lauren, because Barry (her husband) brought QVC and we were trying to get Ralph. I did not really know Ralph Lauren that well, back then. We started to speak and he became very open to me. He told me he had a brain tumor not malignant." I asked how did you find out about it?" And Ralph said I had a noise in my ear and I went to the doctor. The minute he tells me that, I think funny, I been having noises in my ear. So I went to the doctor. He notice a swollen gland and took a biopsy. It was a tumor, they took it out and I had radiation for 8 weeks, that was 15 years ago. -Harper Bazaar
