Double Strand Pearls
If pearls are good enough for Carrie Bradshaw, they’re good enough for me. It seems like celebs are lovin’ pearls and the trick is to layer them with multiple strands while pairing with the classic black dress. Of course, double is what Ashlee Simpson, Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwyneth Paltrow are doing.
Bright Jackets
There is nothing more show-stopping than loud, bright colours! I love Rihanna’s spunky hot pink jacket. Even Katherine Heigl and Kim Kardashian are sporting bright jackets with dark denim. Smart!
Leather Mini Skirts
Bring back the 80s staple! I used to be vegan, so I’m against the usage of real leather. You can opt for latex or faux leather like Nicky HIlton. Selita Ebanks and Ashley Olsen are pairing their minis wiht monotones and fierce shoes!
Short Suits
Show off your long legs by coordinating your black blazers with shorts like Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and Natalie Portman. I love how Rihanna paired it with a black sheer top and bright orange heels! Otherwise, you can add a little colour like Natalie with a Maroon tee.
Shimmery Beige Dress
Don’t be afraid to shine amongst the crowd. Neutral with a little sparkle can be very alluring and sexy. Take the cue from Claire Danes, Mila Kunis and Heidi Klum.

Is this a tribute to YSL’s women in menswear? Or, Ashley Olsen is just being fashion-forward as usual? There is no way she’s going to stop wearing menswear. I think she looks absolutely fab in this relaxed, boyish Calvin Klein tux. Now, don’t you wish your boy is the same size as you?
There is something very ‘Gossip Girl’ about the Fall ‘08 collection of Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen’s line, Elizabeth+James. I could almost see Blair, Serena or Jenny walking in these. Nylon got the first look at the affordable, younger clothing line by the designer twins. So, does Fash-E loves this collection? We shall see.
Described as, “trust fund babe goes to a rock concert” - so true. The famous duo is trying to give Henry Holland a run for his money with this uber-cute tartan mini skirt. It is probably my favourite piece from the preview I’m seeing from Nylon. I can imagine this on lil’ J or one of her snooty entourage member.
Why do I get a Kate Moss vibe from these? I love the bleach blonde they used for the photoshoot. The slouchy boyfriend wardrobe and high-waisted pants are definitely “in” according to the twins for Fall ‘08. Everyone is playing with the androgynous look. We can expect to see more grey “lines” between the gender divide.
I like the peacock motif at the back of the green tartan jacket. Skirts are definitely short this Fall ‘08. We see a mixture of girly and tomboyish-chic from the girls. Are they great designers? I guess they’re alright but we haven’t seen the best from them. With their sense of style and guidance from professionals, rich teens will be rushing to the stores for these ‘overpriced’ items.
We say, “Leave them to the trustfund babies”.
