America's most stylish kid

This kid has tickled me so much that I had to help share him with the rest of the world. Eight year old Arlo Weiner is known for his creative outfits, unique sartorial style and excellent fashion vocabulary - and is being deemed America's most stlyish kid.
Men's Style , the GQ website, interviewed little Arlo, who's father happened to be the creator of the FX hit Mad Men, on his love of fashion and clothes and how he has comprised his one-of-a-kind sense of style. And you would be correct in calling him a fashion prodigy - just listen to the way he describes one of his favorite outfits:
"My mom got the jacket for me—I love it because I love Frank Sinatra and this is like something he would wear. I wore the jacket with the pants because I like the different plaids together. I thought the blue in the necklace brought out the blue in the pants. It’s a blue orb with fire around it."

From the runway to ready-to-wear

Now that fashion week for the Fall 2009 collections has ended, it is a timely opportunity to review the trends and look towards what will be hot in the coming months. After all, runway looks are meant to inspire retail trends. Once other designers and retail buyers see these looks, they take elements from them – one-shoulder, metallics, tapered-leg pants -- these are all ideas that stem from runway looks -- and transform them into prêt-a-porter or ready-to-wear (RTW) pieces that then emerge in department stores.
Read on to see how you can incorporate these trends into your wardrobe.

UK Spring Color Palette

I am a huge fan of discovering what the de riguer styles are in other countries. London, Paris, Milan, Rome, Dubai, Tokyo - all of these are global fashion meccas - and have their own sense of style and certainly a market that follows these fashions.
Flipping through French Vogue or Brazilian Elle is one of my favorite acts in a bookstore. And with that, I love finding new fashion publications or media outlets geared towards fashion in other countries.
One of my new favorites is TimesOnline from London, which promotes fashion news, runway trends and street style in the UK.
And since the Spring Fashion Weeks are wrapping up, everyone is talking about the trends we can expect to see this season going forward.
One undeniable trend we'll see is bold color and big jewels. The TimesOnline is highlighting this Pons Quitana flat which embraces this trend.
