Trend Alert: Strut Like an Egyptian

Here's the thing — I'm a pretty anti-sequel kind of gal.

Here's the thing — I'm a pretty anti-sequel kind of gal. Why mess with perfection? Filming for Sex and the City 2 has begun, and though I may be skeptical about the movie, I'm not about the wardrobe. And really, that's half (more than half?) of what made the first SATC movie faboo. So . . . I can be swayed. Especially after seeing Carrie's first outfit from the film: what appears to be a Halston Heritage white dress, gold glitter Louboutins, gold mirrored aviators, and Carrie strutting like an Egyptian with her stunning multi-faceted necklace. What a stunner. Jump on this new jewelry trend before it hits theaters.

How-To: Smooth, Rounded Runway Bangs

Last night at Espace in New York City, designer Nicole Romano showed off her Fall 2008 collection. I still can't believe that we are currently in the throes of winter, yet designers are already working on looks for next autumn.

The clothing at the prefashion week presentation was shiny, tight, and colorful. The eye and lip makeup was bold, but it was the short, thick, and perfectly curled-under bangs on the models that mostly caught my attention. I haven't seen this look in decades.
