What perfectly complements Louis Vuitton’s luxe fall 2010 collection? By peeking at the upcoming campaign, it is none other than pushed up breasts, cinched in waists, sleek ponytails, prim and proper hemlines and the gorgeous faces of models Christy Turlington, Karen Elson and Natalia Vodianova.
WWD reports that the three models slipped into retro glam to pose as if they are ready to stroll around the fountain of the Louvre’s Cour Carré. The beautifully structured LV’s are the perfect thing to carry on such an occasion, of course!
As we are baring our flesh, piling on the statement jewelry and buckling up our gladiators, this campaign is a refreshing look at what is to come for fall. I can’t wait to see these photos a bit more up close and personal in the glossy pages of my favorite fashion mags. It wouldn’t break my heart to carry one of those fabulous bags, either.

What To Wear is dishing and receiving instant gratification soon after its web debut. Like.com and Glamour teamed up to offer this exciting (and slightly addictive) website, which offers real time answers to your style questions.
If you have a pressing style question, someone on What To Wear has an answer. With a team of professional stylists, Glamour experts, style bloggers and an extended community of beauty and fashion lovers, a girl couldn’t really ask for more — for free!
One of the best things about this style site is that you are in control. If you simply want to post a general question, you may. But, if you really want to take advantage of the stylish opinions at your fingertips, you can upload a picture of yourself or the item in question. Just watching the Q&A banter can provide plenty of inspiration to any onlooker.
Fab finding is a cinch since experts can quickly link to specific clothing and accessories, which you can buy at your favorite retailers. This ability makes the experience more personal, and especially easy for the girl who is short on time or shopping patience.
If you are a closet stylist, this is a fun site to play around on, too! Setting up a profile and chiming in is easy and fun. Comparing your answer to another stylist’s is rewarding because you can both learn and inspire. Answering a question on What To Wear will leave you feeling like a bit of a star, especially when others “like” your answer or “follow” your stylish steps.
I must admit that I find What To Wear slightly addictive. A true style epiphany, this website beautifully merges social media with the demands of today’s fashionistas. A tiny addiction that is totally ok with us!

The clog has been reinvented for spring/summer 2010. Forget little Dutch girls, rubber gardening shoes and frumpy fashions. Think sassy, chunky shoes with hippie roots. This year’s clogs feature edgy studs, peep-toes, buckles, zippers, tassels, designer logos and more. Perfect to wear with jeans or a sundress, the clog will add 2010 appeal to your ensemble.
I’m a fan of a chunky heel, and have been for quite some time. When I was 5 years old, I insisted on wearing my favorite brown leather clogs to kindergarten. Unfortunately, one slipped off as I clunked up the steps to the library one day. To my dismay, a note, which forbid the future wearing of clogs, was promptly sent home to my mother. Later, as an adult, I was once hired partially due to the chunky heels I wore to an interview. A co-worker later told me that our boss hired me in part because I was a fellow “clunker,” or girl who wears stylish, clunky heels.
What clunks better than a clog? While there are some clog skeptics, the 2010 clog-heel hybrid is the sexiest version ever.
