GLAMOUR magazine’s October 2011 issue is dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And cover girls Alicia Keys, Jennifer Aniston, and Demi Moore are walking the walk. Their interviews profile each celeb’s involvement in helping launch the women’s advocacy project: Five, a series of films about women and breast cancer. The two-hour feature, airing on Lifetime on October 10, is a series showing how breast cancer affects women’s lives, families and friendships. Alicia, Jen and Demi each directed a film with stars of the pieces including some of Hollywood’s strongest actresses, like Rosario Dawson. Sadly, everyone is affected by this tragic disease, giving even more reason to fight it. So tune in and become empowered to envision a future without breast cancer.

 

“with an S on my chest…

… Oh yes, I’m a Superwoman.” – Alicia Keys, ‘Superwoman’

Katie Holmes pays tribute to five-year-old Suri with her Jennifer Meyer “S” nameplate necklace. Famous for her wish bone worn by Jennifer Aniston in “He’s Just Not That Into You” a few years back, Jennifer’s jewelry is a favorite with countless A-listers (her pieces are regularly worn by Courtney Cox on “Cougar Town”; by Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz and more). They’re all 10s!

While I’m all for a $1,500 “push present” – (or more, Rachel Zoe’s husband Rodger gave her a $25k Neil Lane ring for birthday Skylar – 10 carats later, that is CLEARLY the exception and we can’t all be so lucky… Thankfully, there are more value-conscious ways of showing your maternal loyalty. Opt for yellow gold, white, copper, or silver, diamonds, or cubics. Bigger and bolder styles work too. These signature necklaces look great solo, or layered with other pieces. I’m all for mixing metals for casual occasions; wearing silver and yellow gold, rose and yellow, etc – it all works. But often, less is more. You’ll notice Katie’s always photographed with just the one signature piece.

Now go on, call your mother. She worries.


orange is everywhere

In case you missed “reconsider orange”, or haven’t noticed the bright hue everywhere right now – look again! Gwyneth is perfection in a Calvin Klein shift (no longer available, see a darker take), while Jen-An dons a strapless key-hole Vivienne Westwood (not available online, see Vivienne’s closest available). Both bombshell-blondes chose strappy heels, adding a dainty finishing touch.


In addition to a shift and strapless, ORANGE also works in a sundress, sheath, maxi, one-shoulder, and fitted mini. The key to a successful bright? Keep everything else understated. Metallics and nudes are the best complements for shoes and bags. Get a spray tan! And forgo most, if not all, accessories… letting your dress STEAL the show.


travel-ready Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston is always perfectly put together, from LAX to Heathrow, she’s a 10.

What are Jen-An’s travel must-haves? Looks like: jeans, a leather jacket and aviator sunglasses. Done!

On this side of the pond, at LAX, Jen wore flared jeans, a gray sweater, white tee, black round-toe boots, aviators and layered pendants. Although nothing outshines her beautiful blonde locks.

And across the Atlantic, Aniston took a few plays from the menswear handbook with a loose striped splendid tank, dark chocolate brown fedora, tinted Ray-Ban aviators, a black BELSTAFF biker jacket, distressed Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans and shoelace-less white Converse All Stars.

JA’s travel must-have takeaways? Bring comfort, class, style, chic-ness and a bit of edge together.

 

Drew Barrymore’s fab fedoras

Drew Barrymore walks to the beat of her own drum – in life, love, and STYLE. Kudos girl!!

Choosing a brown velvet bucket-style fedora just five days after a bolder choice of blue and burgundy (paired with Ray-Ban “Green Lens Classic Gold Aviator Sunglasses”, J Brand denim leggings -not shown- and blue velvet lace-up Christian Louboutin oxfords -not shown-) Drew keeps her look young, fresh and unexpected. To channel your inner safari girl, try Free People’s “Charlie Tropper Hat” or Eugenia Kim’s “Velour/Pony Skin Fedora”. Or go bold with a big band like Coal’s “Considered Keys Fedora”. A royal purple “Velour Felt Fedora with Trim” is perfectly regal…

Never at a loss for a good hat, Drew’s also a fan of celeb-fave Eugenia Kim (as are Hilary Duff, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Leighton Meester). Love Eugenia’s newsboy “Marina”.

For girls looking for a subtle way to get your fedora-on, go for black belted Burberry. A fail-safe 10!

I equally love motorcycle (“moto”) and riding boots for their fashion and function. A tall boot is just what the East Coast fall and winter call for and even in warmer cities like LA these boots play their part. Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson and Angelina Jolie share affection for black buckled motos, each adding touches of personal style. Add jeans, a coat, sunglasses, and you’re golden.

Beautify-your-biker-boots… just add buckles.

Buckled boots are everywhere. Whether tall, ankle, mid-calf or over-the-knee this added touch is a welcome style-detail. Malin wears her Fiorentini + Baker’s with black skinny jeans, Ray-ban wayfarers, white tee, black leather motorcycle jacket and Yarnz soft gray leopard scarf. Rocker-HOT.

Malin’s Yarnz leopard scarf provides stuff competition for attention against her bold buckled boots. It’s oversized style makes a statement without overpowering the look. There are several competing trends in this outfit (black skinnies, mega-hardware boots, animal print, and Wayfarers., but it works because the color palette is kept to black, white and soft gray. When wearing more than one trend, play it safe by keeping to one print and a monochromatic theme.

Born in Sweden, Malin moved to Canada with her family at age two. She went to North Toronto High School and might just be one of the hottest things to ever come out of Canada…

“Put on a trench, you’re suddenly Audrey Hepburn walking along the Seine

– even if you’ve got red hair and you’re five one.” – Michael Kors

There’s something incredible about this fashion staple. It makes every designer, stylist and fashion expert’s top 10 must-haves list for a reason. A trench coat is instantly chic and so transitional.

Whether you’re going from day to night, winter to spring, spring to summer, summer to fall, or fall to winter: a trend has you covered. Figuratively and literally. So buy a great one at a level that’s considered an investment for you. Take care of it, wear it with pride, and keep it FOREVER. This coat is never going out of style, and as we see with Jessica (Alba), Jennifer, Jessica (Biel), and Gwyneth – there are many lovable takes offering fresh style to this timeless and classic look.

The right trend is nothing but flattering. A longer length like Gwyneth’s hides your stomach, knees, thighs and hips, while a belt emphasizes (or creates) a waist and curves. Shorter styles (like Jessica Biel’s) can easily appear more casual and effortless during the day, but can still be dressed up (like Jennifer’s) when you want more glam. The right hardware (buttons, pockets, zippers, epaulettes, ruffles, belts, snaps, bows) make all the difference. Whether you’re running to the grocery store or dressed to the nines, no one needs to know what’s underneath…. It’s all part of the allure.

Gorgeous!
