Saturday night, as planned, I headed out into Cambridge for the Project East fashion show.

These are the only photos I managed to get of my outfit before it got wet and windblown. Apologies for the crappy quality and my terrifying expression on the right. . . My father has officially lost photo-taking privileges. I wore a Forever 21 fedora, a handmade top purchased in Jackson Heights, Forever 21 harem pants, Payless ankle boots, and a bag from a cute little boutique in Harvard Square. The top had a lot more volume than appears in the picture, keeping it from having a generic babydoll .........

Yepp, dears, it’s time to face the truth – winter is here and we have to think of warm and fashionable coats. Thanks God top designers have already thought about this problem and proposed us a lot of stylish items!

• Dior Eclipse Swing Coat

Winter is too boring in order to wear simple black or gray coats, I am starting to love coats in colour. Are you with me?

• Fendi Collarless White Coat

Oh my God, the following item is amazing ))) I can’t take my eyes off it. Pure elegance!

• Chloe Oversized Mod Coat

When I see such coats I start thinking that world is a nice place for living, that it is happy and funny and so cheerful.

Hiiiii dears!!! Today we are covering the 5^th Annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards.

Charlize Theron announcing the winners was looking smashing in the black strapless Christian Dior apparel.

And this is 2008 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner Alexander Wang with Alice Dellal. The see through dress with the black front chopped boots looked killing on Alice.

And here are the 2008 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund runners-up Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai of Vena Cava.

This is again Charlize Theron with the glittery John Galliano.

Here’s Agyness Deyn in black and red with the finalist Alejandro Ingelmo.

She’s the 2008 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist Irene Neuwirth in a long poster red halterneck dress.

And she is the lady in white, the finalist Juan Carlos Obando standing besides Eugenia Gonzalez.

The 2008 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists Swaim with Christina Hutson letting the photographers click their smiling pic.

And she is Bee Shaffer in Thakoon off-white with black zig-zag straps.

Besides the classic newsboy cap, the beanie and the beret, the latest winter hat twist to hit the scene this season are these half hoodies.
I first caught sight of them at Marc by MJ (left) and I thought, "whoa it looks like an oversized turtle neck- without the shirt part," and I didn't know what to think of it. In fact, to be honest I still don't. I thought maybe it is an Marc by MJ abberation and I should just ignore it. But no. It seems to be creeping up a lot more lately on both Shop Bop and Barneys. I mean, it's kind of neat in that it is like attachable hoodie you can put on any outfit you want and it serves as both a scarf and a hat. And with the looser kinds, I guess it does look a bit cool (or not as weird as I initially thought it was). But I think the show a little fringe rule applies here too (I can see myself burrow inside the hood, if I ever got this, with a dark hole as my face). What is everyone's consensus on these?
While I am undecided about the loose hoodies above, I am however very decided about these tighter hoodies. I don't like them. It looks like those ski masks people put over their heads, where you can only see their eyes, except here they widened the hole a bit so you can breathe. It just looks weird- especially as an accessory to an outfit it is not part of. If the model doesn't look that great in this... what are our chances?
Other hats of note. I just couldn't resist putting up this Sophia Costa floral knit beret (left). Even though at this point I have to admit that I am not a beret girl, I must say I love this hat. It just looks so artistic and pretty. I can totally see this on Gossip Girl. And speaking of morphing hat and scarf, I thought I'd throw in this Eugenia Kim combo (right). I think it works! Especially since the design is so simple but feminine. I imagine it would be very convenient to just grab this before you head out the door into the winter cold!
And for something a bit more conventional, I am in love with these two winter hats. The first one is a newsboy cap (left) with a twist, literally. The cap is designed to be on the side. Then there is this Mischa Lampert hat (right) which is simply adorable. Especially with the furry balls at the end. It's so festive! Plus, your ears will definitely be warm!

Lauren Conrad unveils her style secrets in the US weekly Style issue. When asked that how does she react to the bad apparels on seeing the paparazzi photos? She answered that she had dumped all those outfits herself. She believes that you yourself should be your best critic. Don’t react to anybody else except yourself.

For fall Lauren loves to put on outfits with bold detailing like fringe, exposed zippers etc. she’s revealed one more very interesting thing. She doesn’t always shop from L.A.’s most expensive shops. She loves to check out things in the urban Outfitters and even vintage shops.

Lauren is extremely fond of heels. But the one thing that she feels conscious is her thighs. Hence to hide them Lauren prefers to wear long shirts and skirts with natural waistline.
