Sleek, French Chic In Yves Saint Laurent- Celebrity Style at The Met Opera

METROPOLITAN OPERA Season V – PREMIERE OF MASSENET’S MANON Looking back at last week's opening of the Metropolitan Opera's new season with a slew of celebrity attendees decked out in Yves Saint Laurent, one can't help but take note of the accessible, inspirational takes on French Chic each guest radiated in their own way. Model Dree Hemingway in a relaxed ivory suit brought to mind an ultra glamorous twist to Bianca Jagger's infamous 70's era white bridal suit, with its languid fabrication signaling today's need for low-key understated glamor. In ivory, it gives off a boudoir sensuality, yet in basic black, it could take you from work to after dinner drinks in no time. >>Just Can't Get Enough French Style Inspiration

Red Carpet Hair- French Chic Chignon for Julianna Margulies at the Golden Globes

When too many actresses chose to over do their hair, here's one look that keeps it simple and chic YES, please do try this classic French chignon at home... There absolutely can be too much of a good thing! Close-up of Julianna Margulies Sorry to report, but there were far too many actresses who opted for big fashion and big hair at Sunday's Golden Globes... a fashion victim combination that did nothing for the star herself but became a walking ad for the heavy-handed stylists who put her together. SEE: Golden Globe Fashion Photos Confession: I was waiting for a one actress to wear a diamond studded sandwich board mentioning all her fashion credits. In all that frou-frou frippery, a

YSL leather jacket from the the fall 2003 collection Photo archives via: Style.com Styling tips to make a 7-year old YSL Leather Jacket look modern I have an authentic vintage Yves Saint Laurent black leather jacket that I purchased around 2002 when I worked for the company. The blazer style leather jacket with shoulder pads was very expensive at the time and cost ?2k (over $3,100). Luckily, I was able to use my employee discount. Unfortunately, I have not worn it much since. With the return of the big shoulders this season, I think that I could I get away with wearing it... what do you think?

Bruce Weber Short Film for YSL Menswear

Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing, a Bruce Weber Short Film for YSL Fall/Winter 2010-11 "If you don't want to be nude, wear a suit" is what Bruce Weber originally wanted to call his short film. Sometimes I feel as if I need to explain my references. I am sure there are souls who are not familiar with Bruce Weber's brillaint work. Presently, he is the the most commercially known for his Abercrombie & Fitch photographs. Back in the day, it was for his Calvin Klein Underwear ads. If you were a male model in the 80's and had a portrait by Bruce Weber in your portfolio, you instantly skyrocketed to having a certain covetable cache that made you the

Here's a sneak peek of the exhibition (photos do not do it justice) before tonight's Met Gala, co-hosted by Lady Gaga and Harry Styles, sponsored by Gucci and spearheaded by Ana Wintour.

Go ahead, give yourself permission to make your outfit pop…

How to add a little tzuj to your life with New York Fashion Week inspiration. Hey, it’s New York Fashion Week and I thought this would be the perfect time to come in and give a little nudge to take some helpful advice from the fashion world. Even with my years in the style industry, as a business owner who works from home, I know it can get difficult to actually put emphasis on what you wear (when no one sees you). Especially when your familiar, comfy clothes are staring right back at you all the time… Entrepreneurs can easily fall prey to this hum drum routine. But ignoring what you wear starts the ripple effect of being lackluster that
