As one of the hottest labels in London, Preen presents a sexy capsule collection of six dresses designed exclusively for NET-A-PORTER. From bright fuchsia to metallic black to electric blue, these dresses are going to be the biggest talk in town. Preen has a loyal following from celebrities such as Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow - and you’ve prolly seen Gwyneth wearing the black version of the above.
I think I’m falling in love with dresses once again.

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.
Exam’s over! It’s the holidays woohoo! I can’t wait to pack my bags and leave this country. Well, not for another couple of weeks at least. Also, it’s time to shop before the Great Singapore Sale ends. I haven’t been to my usual shopping haunts in ages. People.com has listed some cool trends and are you lovin’ them?
CLEAR SUNGLASSES
Leave last summer’s colored frames behind – Sienna Miller, Kirsten Dunst and Ashlee Simpson take a see-through approach to staying shady.
YELLOW DENIM
Who needs basic blue when you can add so much pop to your denim with sunny yellow? Heidi Montag, Jada Pinkett Smith and Audrina Patridge have already picked up on the bold trend.
FRINGED PURSES
Hollywood channels the Wild West with these bold bags – already seen on the stylish arms of Rachel Bilson, singer Leona Lewis and Heidi Klum.
WHITE MAXIDRESSES
Beat the heat in breezy long dresses in pure white like Eva Longoria, Lauren Conrad and Jessica Simpson. Add on oversized sunglasses and a neutral bag for maximum style points.
JUMPSUITS
Malin Ackerman, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rihanna go for one easy piece in their sharply tailored one-piece looks.
WATERCOLOR FLORAL DRESSES
Cameron Diaz, Heidi Montag and Knocked Up’s Leslie Mann take an artistic approach to their spring florals in sweet strapless shapes.
The 2008 Cannes Film Festival has finally ended. Everyone cheered Laurent Cantet’s The Class which is the first French film to win the Palme d’Or Award since 1987. Fash-E has seen some fabulous couture gowns and designer dresses during this event. Fabsugar collated the best dressed and here’s our take on it:
Fash-E’s Best Dressed Award goes to… Natalie Portman in Givenchy! All the talk about the big volume, I don’t care. I think the origami-pleated dress is flirty and very young.
Gladiator heels! I’ve been seeing gladiators everywhere in town now. Gwyneth Paltrow makes this Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain gladiator heels look red-carpet worthy by pairing it with a sleek black Celine dress.
In all royalty, Dita Von Teese is looking classy in royal purple Jean Paul Gaultier. I’m impressed by the way the long purple beads trace the silhouette of the dress.
The Queen of Pop, Madonna looks like a billion bucks in Chanel couture. This fringe sequin dress is one-of-a-kind and she exudes confidence in it.
Georgina Chapman in her own Marchesa glided ball gown. I love the gold peacock design, what a masterpiece.
Miss Columbia, Valerie Dominguez is such a tall beauty with her sheer black chiffon gown. Very elegant!
Penelope Cruz looks stunning beautiful in this teal design by L’Wren Scott. I love the cute maroon buttons on the side.

Some call it a ’safe’ choice but I think this navy Chanel gown with a peekaboo plunging neckline, is stunning on Gwyneth Paltrow. She arrived at the Cannes Film Festival 2008 premiere of ‘Two Lovers’ and as you can see, she’a paparazzi magnet!! I love the bow detail in between the neckline. Absolutely sweet. Do you like it?
