Splashes of Red

If you are like me and simply cannot Glam it out in Red, then you might want to use splashes of red to light up your AW06 wardrobe instead.

Starting with the basic accessories, spice up your outfit and keep warm at the same time with red scarves and boots. I especially LOVE how they matched the snowflake patterned red scarf with white and denim in the D&G runway (left), and the Moschino Cheap & Chic on the right is just so cute!

Or you can take a tip from the Givenchy (left) and D Squared (right) runway and get red belts! Pair a simple and neat one for a sophisticated chic look. Or a funky bow one for a more casual outfit.

Then of course there are the red bags as in the Diane von Furstenburg and Vuitton runway.

For something more interesting, take a page from the Givenchy and Marc by Marc Jacobs runway and have red gloves or red sleeves sticking out for layers!


To achieve the D&G look, pair your cutest white and denim winter outfits with these adorable scarves from American Eagle (left) and Urban Outfitters (right).

Also available at Urban Outfitters are these fabulous boots and skimmers. I especially adore these slouchy platform boots. And those skimmers are just perfect for everyday wear on campus under jeans and skirts.

Is it just me, or are big red bags just everywhere? I know at least 3 people with big red bags. These two are from Shop Intuition (left) and Levi’s (right). The Shop Intuition one reminds me very much of this black one they have at Chanel.

Belt-wise, check out these ones from Urban Outfitters (left) and Elegantly Waisted from Shopbop (right). The one from Shopbop is definitely “elegantly waisted” although it can be pretty hard to carry off correctly, even the model doesn’t look that perfect in the picture.

For something simpler to wear, there is this adorable headband from Marc by Marc Jacobs (left) and this plastic bangles by Kenneth Jay Lane from Shopbop (right).

Fashion Emergency!!!

A three man Halloween team (okay, one man and two ladies), well known for their exceptional costumes in the past, have one week to go until Halloween and no costume ideas in sight. Enter: Project Runway.

For less than $10 (one tube of bright red lipstick and a mini beach ball), a closet of odds and ends, and a little elbow grease, we were able to come off looking like the perfect blend of Season 2 and Season 3--Santino, meet Laura and Angela.

Enjoy the pics, and eat your heart out Tim Gunn.

The Reese/Ryan saga

Reese Witherspoon reportedly called it quits on her marriage to Ryan Phillippe after discovering secret e-mails between Phillippe and actress Abbie Cornish, his co-star in an upcoming film. According to the National Enquirer, Witherspoon found messages on her husband's BlackBerry in mid-October while the pair were in New York for the premiere of Flags of Our Fathers. "Ryan was caught red-handed," a source told the tabloid. "All he could say was he didn't mean what he'd written." Phillippe and the Australian Cornish have allegedly been spotted making out by a few people. "They came into the restaurant a month ago, both casually dressed in warm-up outfits," said a fellow diner at a restaurant in Austin, Texas. "They asked for restaurant staff to pull curtains around their table, so no one could see them." Another witness claims, "We could see their legs intertwined under the table. As we left, we could see them clearly making out behind the partition." A Fox News reporter has also come foward to say that Witherspoon was clearly "peeved" at the Flags of Our Fathers premiere two weeks ago, saying, "The party took place in the rooftop penthouse suites of the SoHo Grand Hotel, and what I saw next was something I decided not to print at that time. The couple went out on the roof terrace and had a knock-down, drag-out fight... My line of vision was partially blocked by a big exhaust pipe, so at different times during the fight they were obscured. But then Ryan would appear, disgusted, on one side of it, and Reese on the other. Suddenly, Reese stormed back inside, crossed past me and headed for the elevator. Ryan followed in hot pursuit. Thus, their security guards assigned for the night went running after them, thinking that they were leaving. After a couple of minutes, though, clearer heads prevailed. The couple came back from the elevator with security in tow. Perhaps they'd forgotten that many members of Ryan's family, including his grandmother, were still in the room, oblivious to what was going on."


Kate cancels interview over weight question

Super skinny Kate Bosworth has cancelled an interview with an Australian paper allegedly because she didn't want to talk about what everyone else is talking about - her weight. The Superman actress's management reportedly insisted on vetting questions for the interview before her arrival in Sydney this week, and proceeded to cancel the entire interview based on a planned question about the media attention surrounding their client's weight. Bosworth is visiting Australia to take part in Melbourne Cup festivities.

Pitt to sue VF?

Brad Pitt is keeping busy with lawyers these days. The Babel actor is currently pursuing trespassing charges against an E! network crew and is also now considering legal action against Vanity Fair. Pitt is reportedly furious that an image of him taken in September 2005 is used on the cover of the mag's December issue, showing the actor in nothing but white boxers and socks while holding a gun. Pitt participated in an avant-garde video project about a year ago and signed a legal release for the still and video images taken in the shoot, but insists he had no knowledge they would be used for a magazine cover. "We are very disappointed that Vanity Fair has chosen to put an unauthorized cover on their magazine," said Pitt's rep. "It seriously makes me question their integrity and motives." Vanity Fair has hit back, stating, "In a letter dated 5 October 2006, and sent to Pitt care of Brillstein-Grey [Pitt's managers], [the photographer] informed Pitt that a still image from this portrait was going to be featured in the December issue of Vanity Fair... Vanity Fair decided to do a story on [the photographer]'s video portraits and obtained rights to the entire collection of photographs from those sittings, which included Pitt's." A source claims Pitt never saw the letter sent to his managers.
