Midi skirts are typically considered tricky to wear, but as the weather cools, you'll need a bottom that offers a bit more coverage than your standard mini. Chiffon prevents this piece from feeling too heavy, while the snakeskin print transitions nicely from summer to fall. Pair it with a tucked-in tee right now, and next month, toss on a chunky knit.

September is a fabulous month in fashion land. Why? Because it's officially the beginning of the Autumn/Winter season meaning the shops are bursting with brand spanking new deliveries of amazing products from hot new collections. One particular bag of interest is Mulberry's super cool Del Rey handbag. Ever since their latest catwalk show in February, where DJ Leigh Lezark and Downtown Abbey acctress Michelle Dockery were both spotted previewing the new style, we've been obsessed with the creation inspired by singing darling Lana.

But the wait is over. As of Monday the full Mulberry A/W'12 Catwalk Collection goes on sale both in stores and online. YES! It includes the exclusive Del Rey style in luxe new finishes including snake, ostrich and croc print. Similar to the classic Bayswater, the secret to the Del Rey's success is its clean, timeless style with that signature Postman's lock and gold turtle clasp.
To celebrate the launch, Mulberry have released a behind the scenes 2 minute film of how their latest icon is made. So, to check out the video below and remember to shop the full collection here from first thing Monday morning.
After a morning full of meetings in Beverly Hills, Jennifer Garner and her oldest daughter Violet were spotted shopping at The Grove in Los Angeles, CA on Wednesday (August 29).
The "13 Going On 30" actress wore her usual ensemble consisting of jeans and a button-up as she walked hand-in-hand with her six-year-old after shopping at American Girl and Dylan's Candy.
Recently, the Save the Children ambassador wrote a blog for iVillage about why she's so passionate about early childhood education. Jennifer wrote, "[m]ore than 60 percent of poor families don't have books in their homes. It isn't that kids should be reading by kindergarten, but they should know what a book is -- how to hold it, turn the pages, and how to sit still in anticipation of hearing a story."
She continues, "And that's why Save the Children's Early Steps to School Success programs are so effective. Through home visits, book exchanges, parenting groups and more, Early Steps helps babies and toddlers with language, social and emotional development. Just as important, the program helps their parents, giving them the knowledge and skills to support their children's growth."
Enjoy the pictures of Jennifer Garner and Violet at The Grove in Los Angeles, CA (August 29).
Always stately and poised, Meryl Streep knows how to command a room. Her outfits serve to supplement her bearing, but never overwhelm it. During her early career, she erred towards softer silhouettes with lots of draping and the occasional sparkle (also of note: that polka-dot dress at the 1980 Oscars!). Now she sticks with deep necklines that flatter her swanlike neck, often choosing nipped waists, solid colors, and the occasional structured jacket. Enjoy this look back at her wardrobe from the seventies to the present.
It’s believed that The Situation aka Mike Sorrentino has been given a warning by Big Brother following comments he made after THAT argument with Danica Thrall.
Earlier this week the duo had a blazing row, during which The Sitch called the model ‘fake’ (which she is, no?).
After the row, it’s thought that he then went on ranting and fuming, threatening to ‘f**king kill someone’ because he was so angry about it all. A little OTT, perhaps?
He’s kind of proved Danica’s point that he’s “acting like a 16-year-old”.
Anyway, we wonder if this little hoo-ha will affect who gets evicted tonight. The Situation, Danica, Rhian Sugden and Samantha Brick are all up.

Playful pin curls, a voluptuous body, and pale skin were once trademarks of beauty. Today, flowing long hair, an ample derriere, and plump, pouty lips are symbols of attractiveness. Of course, in every generation there are exceptions to the standards of beauty. There are also starlets from today that mimic many of the prized body and facial features from eras long ago, proving that beauty is at once universal, and resistant to time.
This Swedish film actress who was nominated for multiple Academy Awards was known for her trademark accessory: hats. The hats added to the mystery and allure of her magnetism. Reddish brown, slightly curled hair along with highly arched, rounded eyebrows and pale, flawless skin were her calling cards. She preferred to wear her thinner lips in a matte shade and keep her eye makeup subtle and sophisticated.

Many think that Marilyn Monroe was the iconic blonde from the early 1900s but in fact, Jean Harlow was known as the “blonde Bombshell” and the “Platinum Blonde.” This curly coiffed and racy actress was known for making sexual statements and writing explicit material.

Arguably one of the most striking women ever found on film, Elizabeth Taylor had the perfect doll-like features: slim nose, big blue eyes and full dramatic eyebrows. Taylor’s body was perfectly proportional: full bust, slim waist and thin arms and legs. Known for her shiny raven mane and almond shaped eyes, this Cleopatra star was married eight times (which goes to show, even beautiful people aren’t always lucky in love).

A natural beauty, Halle frequently wears her hair in cropped, shaggy styles. She’s known for her beautiful cocoa colored skin, shiny wide-set brown eyes, and naturally flushed pink cheeks. Halle’s body is strong—muscular arms and legs complement a taut, toned midsection. She’s rarely seen in layers of makeup and lets her flawless skin and body do the talking.

Both known for their backsides, these two beauty icons are similar in many ways. Both love the limelight, long, flowing manes, and fitted clothing. Each embraces their natural curves and aren’t afraid of showing off butts and boobs. In addition, both love playing dress-up and are rarely seen without heavy eye makeup, including lots of eyeliner and falsies, as well as hair extensions, heavy coverage foundation, and lots of shimmer and spray tan on their skin. Not ones to subscribe to a natural philosophy, these two women love celebrating their feminine flair.

Pushing forth with her always-busy schedule, Rihanna was in a cheerful mood as she exited her hotel in London, England on Wednesday (August 29).
The Barbadian beauty looked fashion forward in a long black gown and a green leather jacket as she strutted past awaiting paparazzi to load into an awaiting chauffeured ride.
The UK sighting comes as RiRi has found herself mentioned in the tabloids as romantically linked to brother of Kim Kardashian, Rob, after the two went go-carting over the weekend.
Denying anything more than a friendship, Kardashian has since told Ryan Seacrest, "It was just me and a bunch of girls [at the go-kart place]. It's because Rihanna's a friend, and she is friends with my friend Capricorn, and it was Cap's birthday. We all went out to celebrate our friend's birthday. It was fun. It was a good night."
Enjoy the pictures of Rihanna stepping out in London (August 29).
While she's remained clear from public view for the most part these days, Ke$ha was a paparazzi magnet as she took to the shops of Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday afternoon (August 28).
Sporting new light-up LA Gear sneakers, the "We R Who We R" hitmaker was joined by her mom as the ladies followed the retail session by tending to domestic needs at a West Hollywood Whole Foods.
The sighting comes as Ke$ha was recently named among those set to dish out a MoonMan trophy at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards next Thursday night (September 6), joining fellow presenters including Miley Cyrus, Mac Miller, Rashida Jones and the Gold medal winning U.S. gymnastics team best known as the "Fierce Five"
Sure to be an exciting night, the Kevin Hart hosted ceremony also boast performances by superstars like Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Green Day, P!nk, One Direction and Frank Ocean.

Vogue Italia is always one of the last publications to be revealed, but now we’re finally catching a glimpse of its September issue. Shot by Steven Meisel, as usual, Carolyn Murphy portrays a multifaceted woman (look close and you’ll see she actually appears twice) among a bevy of masked women.
“I've always had a weird affection towards mannequins/dolls in editorials, so I'm thrilled with the cover,” wrote Melancholybaby. “Can't wait to see the main editorial and the Haute Couture supplement as always.”
Marc10 posted, “Great cover! The masks are so creepy and quirky, and Carolyn looks stunning as always. Looks like Meisel finally got his mojo back.”
Carolyn always brings the goods and is great in combination with Meisel so this should be a must-have September issue.

If there’s one thing Kim Kardashian is bloody good at, it’s tweeting pictures of herself that get people talking.
Last night the reality star posted an image of herself wearing what can only be described as a wedding dress. She casually accompanied the image with the caption: “Late night fitting #pucci.”
Now we’re pretty sure this isn’t her wedding dress and we’d like to say we’re pretty sure she’s not even planning on getting married anytime soon but to be honest we’re not 100% convinced.
She’s still waiting for her previous divorce to be finalised, you know that 72 marriage to Kris Humphries?
Not even Kim would rush into a marriage so soon after, would she? Would she? Anyone?
Recognise this dress from somewhere? No? Neither did we, but apparently Cheryl Cole had the same Batman-print frock on a couple of weeks ago when she went on a date with her new fella Tre Holloway.
Since then it's sold out, however lucky Jesy Nelson seems to have managed to get her hands on one and she showed it off as she popped to the Radio One studios earlier today where she was promoting her band’s new song along with the rest of Little Mix.
During an interview earlier this month the X Factor star said that she was keen to lose a few pounds, and the results of that weight loss were easy to see in this figure hugging garment.
Don't worry though Jesy has also said that she has no intention of becoming a skinny-minnie just like every other female celeb.
‘I’m not going to suddenly become skinny - we’re all different shapes and sizes in the band and people relate to us because we look normal.
'It’s one of the reasons we won the show. If I started to look like I’d lost two stone it would send out the wrong message' she said.
She added: 'People are always commenting on how I look and it’s because I’m a girl. You never see men's bodies being criticised in magazines.’
A special night out usually involves effervescent conversation, good music and clever antics. Jump start your evening with the Kotur Pink Snow Globe Clutch, it instantly breaks the ice and keeps your company spellbound with each tilt. With every sleight of hand, hot pink aqua gel tumbles in the acrylic casement like a hand-held lava lamp. But don't worry, precious and private contents are kept hidden in an interior satin pouch. So captivating, this just might be all the entertainment you need.

Taking care of her many daily errands, Isla Fisher was seen out and about in West Hollywood, CA on Monday afternoon (August 27).
The "Wedding Crashers" actress looked perfect for the warm west coast weather as she wore a black cardigan and striped sundress which showed off her toned legs.
In career news, Isla recently opened up to People magazine about the wardrobe for her character, Katie, in the upcoming Indie film "Bachelorette."
Describing her look, the 36-year-old said, "Katie is very trashy. She wears the shortest, tightest, trashiest thing that I could wear," adding that Dolce & Gabbana knew exactly what she needed for the role, as she continued, "They kindly dressed me for the movie — even down to my underwear. Those guys know how to make a woman look great."
"Bachelorette," which also stars Kirsten Dunst and Lizzy Caplan, is set to hit theaters on September 7.

If there's one model we're always looking out for at fashion week, it's Joan Smalls. The Puerto Rican stunner has taken to the catwalk for everyone from Chanel to Versace and has bagged the Autumn Winter 2012 campaigns for Fendi and Givenchy so it's safe to say she's pretty mega. And that's why we're tipping our hats to Mercedes-Benz for nabbing her supermodel credentials for their latest collaboration.
Lady Smalls stars in the Spring Summer 2013 fashion film created by Mario Testino that sees her ripping free from a white cloth and ropes like an out-of-this-world specimen from Planet Fierce. Oh, and there's a big white car next to her but who's looking at that, hey?
In the gallery above, you'll find a sneak peek at what went down behind-the-scenes on the shoot and the full film can be seen below - but OB-viously Grazia Daily wanted to know all about that leather catsuit and mega mohican from the lady herself...
Grazia Daily: You look amazing in that black catsuit! How was it to wear?
Joan Smalls: It was very exciting, I felt like a superhero.
Grazia Daily: And you look like one! What's your top tip for feeling confident in such an unforgiving garment?
Joan Smalls: Loving who you are as a person.
Grazia Daily: Mario Testino shot the campaign - how does he make you feel comfortable when you're working together?
Joan Smalls: We speak the same native language, Spanish.
Grazia Daily: And you're rocking an impressive mohican! What's your favourite hair style?
Joan Smalls: Simple, cool, hair down with a beach look.
Grazia Daily: With fashion week coming up, what's your fail safe outfit?
Joan Smalls: Jeans and boots.
Grazia Daily: And what's the one accessory you can't live without?
Joan Smalls: My Chanel purse.
Grazia Daily: If you could shop in only one shop for the rest of your life, which one would it be?
Joan Smalls: Givenchy.
Grazia Daily: Good choice. So where's your favourite place in the world?
Joan Smalls: Home, Puerto Rico.
Grazia Daily: What's your guilty pleasure?
Joan Smalls: Shoes and chocolate.
Grazia Daily: Finally, what's the most exciting part of your job?
Joan Smalls: Travelling to new places.
This week on #Twitterati, designers, fashionistas, and journalists react to #NYFW trending on Twitter, the hefty size of Vogue's September issue might be considered a safety hazard, and John Galliano is stripped of his Legion of Honor Award for past racist remarks. For more #Twitterati goodness, read up on the most happening fashion moments, events, and quotes according to Twitter's fashionable elite.

Nina Garcia incredulously tweeted, "#NYFW trending... already?????" Well Nina, per The Fashion Spot's tweet, "#NYFW is trending already...because apparently we all can't wait for the madness to begin." Right on? Actually, while journalists and fellow fashionistas can hardly stand the anticipation, designers seem to feel a bit different. Contemporary designer Cynthia Rowley reacted by tweeting, "Can #NYFW please not be trending yet... can you give a girl a minute to get herself together..." DKNY followed up with, "Yikes. #NYFW is ALREADY A TRENDING TOPIC. #TooSoon." However, it's safe to say that in the world of fashion, words like "anxiety," "too soon," "hell-week," "adrenaline," "excited," and "yikes" all mean about the same thing. Gotta love those fashion tweeps.
"Vogue has a weight problem," tweeted Huffington Post. Never thought you'd hear these words, right? Since this year's September issue weighs more than your standard gym weights, it might be difficult to flip through those glossy pages. If, by chance, you do happen to finish reading the 916 pages (of which 658 are ads) of the year's biggest issue, here is some great gym advice courtesy of Stylelist, "Skipped the gym this weekend? Just go pick up Vogue instead." The site goes on to tweet, "Vogue weighs 4.5 POUNDS this month." In fact, the magazine's weight issue has become quite the health hazard. Styleite tweeted, "Vogue September issues are so big they're causing delivery difficulties!" One postal worker commented on the problem by pointing to an injured elbow: "Thirteen years. You see all the swelling here, because of that kind of magazine. You get a building like this, I have to go upstairs, I have to open the door. I cannot use both hands.” (via Huffington Post Style) . Who knew Anna Wintour could be so dangerous? Actually, pretty sure we all did.
While rumors have been swirling for quite some time, Harper's Bazzar UK has confirmed that "French President Hollande has stripped John Galliano of the Legion of Honor accolade following his racist conviction it is revealed." The Cut followed by tweeting and emphasizing that "Galliano has been stripped of his Legion of Honor title, a rare occurrence in the history of the French award." Galliano was the recipient of the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 2010. However, this stripping is just another blow Galliano's career and reputation have received since making anti-Semitic remarks at a Parisian cafe in 2011.
Fashionista reacted tweeting, "So Galliano getting stripped of his Legion of Honor award is pretty rare—Manuel Noriega still has his..." Thoughts? Has France's President gone too far or does Galliano's racist remarks deserve such apprehension? Tweet us your replies, comments and thoughts about this or anything fashion-related to The Fashion Spot's Twitter.

We at The Cut are the first people to discourage juice fasts, no matter how many times we're told to try them. So when I was assigned to make vegan smoothies with Russian model and raw food enthusiast Valentina Zelyaeva, I was skeptical and more than a bit worried. What if her special diet was an excuse to eat less, as is often the case? Also, what if her concoctions tasted disgusting, as many green juices do? I was told to come hungry, but I was suspicious and ate a large breakfast instead.
What do Liberty Ross and Rihanna have in common? This weekend, both girls – whose styles are fairly polar when it comes to opposites – both rocked the latest in Givenchy printed t-shirts. It’s around £360 depending where you track one down and created as a mash-up of a previous collection’s kaleadasopic bird of paradise print with a religious twist – look closely and you’ll see the Virgin Mary having a bit of fashwan moment courtesy of Riccardo Tisci. Who do YOU think wore it best? RiRi with loose-fit black pants, Tom Ford wedges and Diana Ross-style curls, or Liberty in her casual-cool denim cut-offs, Celine tote and retro sunnies? Either way, they’re lucky to get hold of one; everywhere we look this haute tee has sold out… You may still have a chance on the Selfridges website if you act fast!
Rihanna instagramming her Givenchy tee and the real product up close!
As we mentioned already, this statement t-shirt idea isn’t a new one for Givenchy and there’s a long line of previous versions that span a wardrobes spectrum of popstrels Rihanna (this is her second version of the season) and Rita Ora, actress Liv Tyler, a legion of street-snapped ladies. Even fashion conscious A-list guys on the circuit have cottoned on, with Riccardo creating special versions for Kanye and Jay Z’s Watch The Throne tour. A truly unisex piece, especially when the prints are so sharp and occasionally scary – do you remember the Rottweilers of autumn/winter 2011? Now there’s a sharp-toothed shark out to be snapped up for your shopping bag. SCROLL through our gallery above for a mini history of Givenchy tee-wearing celebrities!
