Clare Waight Keller’s Chloé Girl is a Brit in Paris (Who Wears Awesome Coats)

Clare Waight Keller’s Chloé Girl is a Brit in Paris (Who Wears Awesome Coats)

PARIS–It’s former Pringle of Scotland designer Clare Waight Keller‘s second season as the creative director for Chloé and she told me designing her second collection for the house was “nerve-wracking the second time around because you know what’s coming…[but] intense and really enjoyable to work on.”

Could part of that “nerve-wracking” have to do with working in a city where industry rumors, rumors about designers being replaced at big fashion houses, are a dime a dozen? “The gossip is on a whole different level here,” Waight Keller said. “It feels different–you know people at different houses but you’re in your own world as well.”

Good thing. Because Waight Keller’s vision for Chloé is beginning to take shape–and it’s all about her own world.

Best Dressed: Paris Fashion Week

It was tough to pick just five girls from Paris Fashion Week’s abundance of sartorial greatness, but we did our best. We have a hard time ever excluding Alexa Chung, who looked adorable at Miu Miu. Lou Doillon is a Paris fashion icon in her own right and did not disappoint at Chanel. Rachel Bilson looked lovely at Dior. Anja Rubik rocked long, flowy Chloé and Caroline Sieber got a head start on Spring’s white trend at Valentino.

Meredith Melling-Burke On Gossip Girl and Other Major FNO News

Fashion’s Night Out is a little more than a month away and more details are being revealed around the world as the night gets closer.

For one, Hamish Bowles and Lauren Santo-Domingo will not be the only Vogue editors to appear on the September 20 FNO-themed Gossip Girl episode. Vogue market editor Meredith Melling-Burke will also make an appearance and we hear she’s wearing Chloe.

In other news, Payless is offering Facebook fans a chance to win a 5-day trip to NYC for Fashion’s Night Out. The “All Fashion Pass” will include access to the Vogue fashion show and a meet and greet with Payless designers Christian Siriano, Patricia Field, Lela Rose and Isabel Toledo. This actually sounds really cool.

5 Pairs of Shoes That Are Worth the Investment

5 Pairs of Shoes That Are Worth the Investment

I can’t tell you exactly how my obsession with shoes began (I SWEAR it has nothing to do with Sex and the City), but I can tell you the first time a pair really blew my mind.

A couple of years back, a friend of mine wore these Burberry studded platform sandals from the Fall 2007 runway. They were sexy, slightly tough, and managed to make even the simplest outfit chic. Even if I could have afforded to buy these beauties, they were completely sold out–probably due to the fact that editors and celebrities everywhere were spotted in them.

While I’ve never splurged on a pair of designer shoes, I’ve made a little promise to myself: When I land my first full-time job, I will treat myself to one…even if it takes a few months of saving. Although that day hasn’t arrived, I’ve compiled a list of shoes that I think are worth the extreme price-tags. The picks might not all be classics, but they’re so special that you’ll surely wear them again and again.

PS: I still scour eBay every once in a while hoping to come across my Burberry dream shoes in a size 37.
