Love this post by Jill at trenddelacreme.com about the spiked cuff. She's right, it is ALL about the spiked cuff this season. Get all Rihanna on our ass and go tough. Just be careful of where you put your hands because you can do some serious damage. These ones are by Joomli and available at Opening Ceremony.

Isn't it funny that colours can look so washed out and nothing one season, but so clearly fabulous the next? Such is the case with the nude dress, still going strong for the next few seasons so if you haven't bought anything yet, it's not too late.

Rachel Bilson rocks a short frilled number at the Chanel show.

Rachel McAdams positively sizzles in this beautiful dress at one of her Sherlock Holmes premieres.

Taylor Momsen: nice outfit, shame about the eyeliner.

Ashley Greene in a grown up tulip dress.

Olivia Wilde - pretty, feminine and sweet.

Who knew that Camilla Belle had it in her to break fashion boundaries and prance around town like she owned the place? I can't remember her last movie, but I can sure as hell remember her last outfit!

This grey number is just divine. An engineering feat of fashion, I love how they've used wire to lift the top and skirt as though everything is blowing in the breeze and floating around her body like a lovely cloud. Everything is working in wonderful harmony. Her jewelled clutch, her pink lips, her softly pulled back hair ... all finished nicely with the tizzy black shoes, reminding us she's not all peaches and cream soft, there's some life in her yet.

If these celebs are anything to go by, B-L-A-C-K.

Tailored, like Eva Longoria, with a sharp blazer, tight black jeans and high platform pumps. Tizzed up with those silver chains and big hoops. Yes ladies, it's been a slow time coming but the hoop is making a comeback.

Sexy Boho, like Mary Kate with leather skinnies and a loose overcoat, tousled hair and aviators. Note the chunky black ankle boots that the pants tuck into. Hot.

Casual, like Michelle Williams, with a warm black coat over a frilly skirt, opaques and brown laceups. Matilda looks equally stylish, may I say? Love that she gets to wear her uggs out of the house and that purple scarf is so cute! 

I think the whole of Australia is a little bit in love with Rose Byrne and how she's the quiet achiever, making in Hollywood big time, right under our noses. I shot her once when I worked at Cosmo (years ago) and even back then, she was so lovely. Quiet and unassuming with a regal stature, everyone working with us could tell she was light years ahead of the other up-and-coming actresses in the shoot.

Back to the dress and it's all about the scalloped edge mini to really set off a pair of legs. Worn now, with bare legs simply adorned in moisturiser (Palmer's Cocoa Butter with SPF15 if you must know) and with opaques in winter like the darling Rose. Luckily, we've got a few of these on sale right now with Rachel Gilbert. Sale ends this Thursday.

Truly digging Rose's messy curls and those red lips. Va va voom!
