It’s that time again. Time to grab a glass of bubbly and pull up a first row chair at your computer to watch the Michael Kors Spring 2010 Runway show.  It’s 13 minutes of pure fashion pleasure!  My favorite looks float down the runway at 3:07 (my absolute favorite), 3:20, 4:10 and I go bananas for the shoes at 7:38.  Click Michael Rocks My World to see the flawless show!

If you haven’t been to the Michael Kors store at Scottsdale Fashion Square lately, you must stop in soon to smell the new fragrance “Very Hollywood.” It’s a crisp, clean scent with a hint of grapefruit. Yummy! My favorite is the “Very Hollywood” Eau de Parfum Ring. A solid cream fragrance is hidden behind the fabulous pink gem.  So chic! Just $40 – what a great gift.

The September 2007 Issue - Namesake for the movie from the Phx Art Museum's collection

The Phoenix Art Museum’s screening of “The September Issue” Sunday evening was phenomenal!! All the Phoenicians in the room looked amazing and some of my favorite international guests made an appearance – Prada, Chanel, Louboutin…:) You could really feel the excitement and love in the room. The love of Vogue – the magazine and the mystique.  The film is phenomenal! It’s funny and entertaining and surprisingly heartbreaking at times. It provoked me to think about the art side of fashion again and that fashion is in fact a wearable form of art. When I got home I immediately opened the latest September issue of Vogue, the 2009, and re-read it cover to cover.  I can’t believe how much beauty I missed the first time.

Grace Coddington, Creative Director at Vogue

Though I really just wanted to learn more about Anna Wintour, I was surprised to learn about and fall in love with Creative Director, Grace Coddington.  Her role as Fashion Editor / Stylist at Vogue is just as critical as Anna’s and she is a true genius!  I would love to own her book of editorial shoots someday (above). Next time you look through Vogue, notice Grace’s shoots. They are sooo beautiful!

If you missed the show, rent “The Devil Wears Prada” to hold you over until its release to DVD! And enjoy the pictures below!

Jason Wu Spring 2010 - fashionweekdaily.com

I’m craving the fashionable, busy streets of one of my favorite cities, New York. With last week being Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, “Fashion’s Night Out”, “The September Issue” release, taping of “Sex & The City 2″ and more, I desperately wish to take a bite of the Big Apple right now!

On set of "Sex & The City 2" - perezhilton.com

I’ve been busy watching and keeping up Fashion Week on Facebook, as well as, scouring my favorite Fashion Week websites like www.fashionweekdaily.com, www.stylecaster.com, www.wwd.com and more.

So it got me thinking about my favorite New Yorker’s fashion style. Of course, I would DIE to dress like Sarah Jessica Parker. But the practical / mommy side of me really connects with Kelly Ripa’s look.  Sadly, she works alongside the most unfabulous NYC man, Regis, and I have to listen to him drone about himself and the Yankees just to see her. Until recently, that is!!!!

The “Live with Regis and Kelly” website includes a “Fashion Finder” – videos and style blogs about what Kelly’s wearing AND what some celebrity guests are wearing!!  The videos are “behind the scenes” accounts in Kelly’s dressing room or the green room before and after the show. Last week, Rachel Zoe and Tim Gunn gave some great tips and info too! Check it out Fashion Finder.
