Looking forward to the fabulousness of Oscar night. Who will T&R crown as the best dressed? Best coiffed? And the not-so-hot? Stay tuned!

Ciao Roma!

Lately, I've been obsessed with Italy. I spent the summer just across the border in lovely Switzerland, but didn't make it to Italy. Especially on Valentine's Day, I have visions of saying Ciao and casting off my cares a la Diane Lane in Under the Tuscan Sun. So while online browsing, imagine my delight when I came across the Italian inspired Spring lookbook from J Crew. Lots of vintage prints mixed with European romance. Can't you just picture yourself riding around on a Vespa in these?



Maybe it's time to dust off those old "learning Italian" CDs. Or better yet, find a podcast.

Chanel Cruise Collection To Be Launched In Miami

Karl Lagerfeld has confirmed the the next Chanel cruise collection will be presented in May in Miami. FWD is reporting that Chanel's top dog has confirmed to take the next Chanel cruise collection to the Miami runway in mid-May. Details, including the precise date, still need to be confirmed, but Miami is the home to some of the most expensive docs in the world. Considering Lagerfeld`s love for transport-themed places there are many potential venues in Miami.

This event is destined to be fabulous! I can see a nautical based theme with a yacht inspired runway. Lots of navy blues, yellows, blacks and whites. Oohh, I can't wait! Town & Runway will attempt to provide on the ground coverage. Stay tuned!

Monique L'Huillier F/W 08-09

It was one stunner after another at the Monique L'Huillier show. The textures, jewels, and fur really made for a transcendent collection reminiscent of Parisian couture.

Town & Runway *hearts* Rachel Roy

Always one to bring a unique perspective to the art of design, Rachel Roy shows her Fall 08/09 collection. It's a rich presentation of burnt umber and sienna hues against a neutral backdrop of cream with touches of camel. With undeniable touches of Native American flair with the poncho inspired dresses and feather necklaces (the new cocktail jewelry?), the collection is sure to be a standout among the shows this fall. That's one reason I always look forward to Miss Roy's collection. No copy-catting here.

Perhaps Park Ave socials will trade their pearls for feathers?

I'm not a fan of the Quaker-style hat, but the combination of grey-black textured fabric with the luxe umber satin makes a stunning contrast.

This dress is simple glamour at it's best. The essence lies within the color, fabulous gloves and feather neckpiece. Can't you just see Dita von Teese wearing this? Rachel, have your people call Dita's people. . .

Lovely use of complimentary colors with the orange, silver and white.

I must say I'm loving the gloves in this collection. It will be interesting to see what other collections incorporate 8 button gloves.
