When I'm in need of a quick fashion fix, I visit my local boutique, Hush. They stock the newest must-have items and the staff is always friendly. Luckily, you can check out their online store,
myHush.com, for the same shopping experience — minus the live bodies.

One of my favorite Russian models Natalia Vodianova spent an elegant evening out with her hubby Justin Portman at the Gagosian gallery in Moscow last night. Per usual, she looked svelte in an Alexander Wang's nude and black one-shoulder dress. Instead of doing the usual dress with fancy sandals, Natalia went down the funky route by wearing the frock over leather leggings, finished with patent peep-toe booties.

I'm currently leather McLovin', and
Shopbop and actress Malin Akerman (left) are on my wavelength. But I'm not just talking the obvious
leather jacket, though that is a must-have Fall item as well.
The versatile material can be found on more than just outerwear.

Just because
Spring '09 is a ways away that doesn't mean we can't start drawing inspiration from it now. Au contraire. To be ahead of the game, we have to start dressing the part, pronto.

Thanks to
Fashion Week festivities, there are loads of stylish celebs in town. One of them is Becki Newton, who attended the Intermix 15th anniversary party in a gray and black Alexander Wang dress. And yes, you are seeing correctly that her black Marc Jacobs clutch has an old-fashioned car on it.
