Lori Goldstein's LOGO Instant Chic "re-chic" Event

Who could turn down the chance to get "re-chiced" by Madonna's first stylist, Lori Goldstein? On Wednesday, Lori, fresh from styling the Vera Wang show, turned her talents to a group of fashion bloggers and updated our outfits with pieces from her Logo Instant Chic line, available on QVC.

Cigar Smoking at NYFW

90s fashions weren't the only thing to make a reappearance from the grunge decade, cigar smoking is back in a big way, too. Camacho Cigars--a fave of Leonardo DiCaprio--were handed out at the after parties at the MAC/Milk Studios. Ah-women smoking cigars.

Tory Burch's Playlist

Many shows inspire us to update our playlists, but none more than Tory Burch presentation yesterday. The clothes had a 70s' feel along with bright pops of tangerine and tomato red.

Diane Von Furstenberg at Claridge's

Next time we go to London, we'll definitely be staying in one of the Diane Von Furstenberg-designed rooms or suites at Claridges.

I don’t want the hotel to change, I just want it to be more of a fantasy.”We're going to bet the

Lela Rose for Payless

The spring 2011 styles use Peruvian textiles for inspiration  and are named after streets of Lima -- include: Loreto with its striated wedge heel inspired by the city's hillside landscape;  Magdalena accented with a rich brown raffia-wrapped
