Christian Louboutin’s Fox Trot Platform Slingbacks are sold out at both Saks and Net-A-Porter.com. Never fear, FlyJane.net has exact copies for a fraction of the price. Make like Lucy Liu and Beyonce and rock them this winter with tights. The great thing about these shoes is that you can rock them with gold, silver and/or black accessories. There’s nothing like versatility.

On another note, what do you all think about the new ABC show by "Sex in the City" producer Darren Star? The show's wardrobe will be selected by stylist Patricia Field, another Sex in the City alum. The show was scheduled to air this Fall but due to the Writers Guild of America strike, ABC has delayed the premiere of the series. Check out the trailor below...

Who Needs Two Sleeves?

Beyonce Knowles attending the L'Oreal Legends Gala to benefit The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund at the Museum of Natural History, November 8, 2006 in New York City.
India.Arie arriving at the 37th Annual NAACP Image Awards at the Shrine Auditorium last year in LA.
Joy Bryant attending the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party in September ’06.

Two sleeves are overrated. Since this winter has been pretty mild, well in D.C. it has, try making-do with just one. Even the simplest dress can stand out with just one sleeve. I think I found Lucy Liu’s dress which if I’m not mistaken is by Rachel Roy. If not, Rachel Roy’s is a great alternative. Also see below for some other great finds. My personal favorites are the Lela Rose dress and the long black dress from Windorstore.com.

Lucy Liu

Lucy Liu arriving at a special screening of "Freedom's Fury" at the Uptown Theater last week in Washington, DC.
I love Lucy Liu’s style. I definitely need to feature her more on the site. Anyway, these pics were taken at the premiere of her new movie which she executive produced. This outfit was the perfect choice; the pencil skirt says “I’m a serious producer” but the shirt is flirty enough to say “I’m still sexy!” See below for ideas on how to steal her style.

Steal Lucy’s Style…

Shirt: Edun Casey Blouse, $155, Nordstorm
Skirt: Pencil Skirt, $19.80, Forever 21

Left to Right: Diamonds & Pearl Bracelet, $8.80, Forever 21; Carolee Double Pearl Earrings, $32.00, Nordstorm; Reptile Hard Hinge Clutch, $12.50, www.wetseal.com; Guillemette, $69.99, Aldo

This is the perfect office-to-evening look. Just throw on the accessories and retouch your makeup and you’re good to go!

Best of the Rest...

Left to Right: Solid Pin Tuck Top, $19.50, www.wetseal.com; Becca Blouse, $19.80, Forever 21; Short Sleeve Pie Crust Top, $209.00, www.standardstyle.com; Kailey Ruffle Blouse by Diane Von Furstenberg, $198, Nordstorm

Here are some cheap and not-so-cheap alternatives to Lucy’s blouse. All are super cute and all would be perfect with a plain black skirt or even jeans.

The Search Begins…

Eva Longoria arriving at The Late Show with David Letterman
Halle Berry at an MTV Networks event last year.
Lucy Liu attends the '3 Needles' movie premiere after party in New York.
Sarah Jessica Parker attends a photocall to promote the new movie "The Family Stone" in London.

As fall approaches the search for the perfect new coat begins. The ideal contender would marry function with style effortlessly; we all want to keep warm, but look great too! This season’s coats see the continuation of fur, print and metallic fabrics, combined with waist cinching belts and military inspirations. If you’re unsure what style to go for a trench coat is always a winner, it's a classic style that suits all shapes. See below for the best selection of fall coats that have just hit the shops...

Take Cover...

Lucy Liu's 'Lucky Number Slevin' portrait at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival - I always like to add a pic of someone wearing the styles I suggest, so I found this pic of Lucy in a supa cute sweater!
Top: Funnelneck Cardigan, $198.00; Acorns Underfoot Cardigan, $118.00; Cashmere Cardigan, $268.00; Squiggle Stitch Cardigan, $158.00, all available from Anthropolodie
Bottom: Holly Leaf Cardigan, $148.00; Limelight Cropped Cardigan, $158.00; Bespoke Cardigan, 148.00; Hooded Sweater Vest, $158.00, all available at Anthropologie

If I could afford it, my entire closet would come from Anthropologie... They make the most unique items of clothing using an array of fabrics and textures. I love their current selection of cardigans. Until i'm working full-time, i'll just have to hope that one day Stella McCartney will produce another H&M collection, with chunky cardigans I can actually buy... I almost cried when I saw this Stella creation!

Note: Also try these, then see how to wear them here!
