Wedding Accessories: Say Toodles to the Tiara

It's Bridal Fashion Week!

On this week's edition of "Inside In Style" on CNN.com, I caught up with PARIS accessories designer Deborah Moreland at the Warwick Hotel in New York City and got the dish on how brides should dress up their dresses.  (Hint: the tiara is old news -- try a headwrap on for size to indulge your princess fantasy)

Fitting In With The Misshapes

I caught up with the coolest DJs in town (and out of town) just before they played their set for the Tony Cohen show at New York Fashion Week...Fashion Week just wouldn't be Fashion Week without a little drama.

(Surely you recognize Leigh Lezark from Gap's fall ad campaign??)

The New It-Song, from Grey's to Z

I loved Zac Posen's Spring 2009 collection.  Not everyone shares my opinion on the clothes Posen sent down the runway, however it seems the catchy song looped through the speakers as the models strutted their stuff made quite an impact.

Bloggers everywhere demanded to know who sang the "jungle drum" song.  My friends and I spent the remainder of the evening chanting "doonga-doonga-doonga-doonga-doong" (or something like that).

And last night, while watching the season premiere of "Grey's Anatomy," (LOVE) the very same song popped up during the scene in which Christina was impaled by a wayward icicle (odd choice of timing perhaps, but...).

The song?  "Jungle Drum" (from the Me and Armini album) by Emiliana Torrini,
up-and-coming Icelandic sensation (how cute is she?!).

Renee Zellweger Hits the Red Carpet in A Brand-Spanking New Carolina Herrera...Straight from the Runway

You know you're an A+-lister when you score a dress straight of a designer's runway the week after it debuted.  Renee Zellweger is one of those lucky gals.

At the September 17th L.A. premiere of "Appaloosa," Renee donned a black silk organza dress straight from Carolina Herrera's Spring 2009 collection.  Lest you forget, our favorite Herrera loyalist was seated front row (and spotted eyeing this very dress!), during the show at New York Fashion Week on the September 8th.

Your Backstage Pass to Betsey Johnson's Pre-Show Party

Betsey Johnson is the pop-culture princess of New York Fashion Week...not to mention the fashion industry's fountain of youth.  I stopped by the celebration -- and spoke to some celebs -- just 10 minutes before Betsey's Spring 2009 runway show...





As always, Betsey ended her show with a running runway cartwheel...she admits she always practices the morning of the show.  Pretty impressive for a grandmother of two !

Style Spy sends a huge XOXO to Betsey Johnson!  SMOOCH!

Style Snaps: Fashion Week Friends

New York Fashion Week is hard work.  Twelve hour days, minimal sleep, spotty meals, sore feet...BUT, besides getting us geared-up to tackle the new trends, it's also the perfect time to catch up with the most fabulous and fashionable people on the planet.


I hung out with Justin Timberlake and Trace Ayala backstage before William Rast...

...and ran into Olympic gymnast Alicia Sacramone at Alexandre Herchcovitch (she had the best accessory of the week -- and I got to hold it!).

Leigh Lezark of the Misshapes (and the face of Gap's fall ad campaign) gave me the scoop on spinning (and her hip haircut...fashion designer Benjamin Cho is also a master with scissors)

Blogging bombshell Julia Allison (who is live-blogging all week) was my front-row-mate at Tony Cohen...

I chatted with Kelly Osbourne at Betsey Johnson...

...who agrees that fashion week is simultaneously inspiring and exhausting.


Yep, it's a tough job but someone has to do it. 

Catch you later -- am off to Zac Posen!
