Has Hollywould shuttered? Creative Director Holly Dunlap has been shopping around for a buyer for months since Kellwood Co. put the company for sale. Now phones are turned off, the Web store is down, and the store front empty after a clearance sale on Monday (shoes for $49!).
If you’re a fashionable lady who is also a friend to the animals (catch the Legally Blonde reference) then the faux leather handbags created by Melie Bianco are for you.
With price points around $100 they’re not made of cheap fabrics like many fauxs, but they’re not super high priced like Stella McCartney either.
For more info and product details keep reading.
If you don’t know any teenagers and aren’t a fan of MTV, you may not of heard of this little phenomenon called Twilight. But you probably will once the movie, based on the best-selling series of books, hits theaters on Friday.
The good-vampire franchise will appeal to fans of Buffy and other teen dramas and fills the blockbuster-fantasy-movie gap left by Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings this holiday season.
If you need a reason to go see it, just check out the cast.
To get in the spooky mood, the Style File Blog has rounded up some of the more macabre looks from recent runways for your Halloween pleasure.

From Catwalk Queen:
Returning to London with her Spring 2009 collection, Alice Temperley continued the maturing trend she started in fall 08 for her line, Temperley London.
These looks were her most grown up to date. Unfortunately, the Temperley girl seems to have grown up to have a multiple personality disorder: grecian dresses, menswear-inspired outfits and ruffled-out pieces all shared the same catwalk in a rather disjointed display.
Launched a couple of days ago iGoogle received a trendy makeover from some of the fashion world’s top designers in time for New York Fashion week. Vera Wang, Burberry and Michael Kors are some of the stylish names who have lent their designer touch to the site. I’m plumping for Stella McCartney‘s lipsmacking lollipop wallpaper. Kiss and Make Up’s Zara was there at the New York launch to see how it looks and works.
Cindy McCain overtook Michelle Obama as the more stylish potential First Lady in a poll conducted by E-Poll Market Research. Thirty-six percent of respondents said McCain was stylish, while only 28 percent said the same about Michelle Obama.
Jackie Kennedy came in first, naturally, with 48 percent, and Hillary Clinton was at number 10 with only 7 percent of people saying she had style.
Where would Tina Fey lookalike and Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin fall? Keep reading.

Here’s Christine Tarlecki headed out to the Shumaq runway show. But she’s not just running out the door, she has a few items she must pack up first. Keep reading for Christine’s fashion week survival guide.
We know some of you wonder what your illustrious Shiny fashion team looks like, and what one wears to fashion week is one of the biggest questions we get. So here’s one answer!
Here I am front row at Tuleh last night. Notice the cute little rosettes given out to guests, I think it would look really cute on the handle of a bag or something. Those shoes came straight off in the cab, let me tell you! Keeping flats in your bag at all times is a must-do for fashion week.
Looks like Gwynnie has been sticking to her all black, short skirt, high heel uniform while in the Hamptons recently.
She wore a black dress and short embellished jacket to the Benefit for Hamptons Amaryllis Farm Equine Rescue on Saturday.
Paltrow was a co-host along with Steven Klein and Madonna – who was not in attendence to the disappointment of many. After the benefit, Gwyneth headed to L.A. Reid’s Sagaponack pad for an afterparty.

The legions of women who count Diane von Furstenberg as a style icon will be looking forward to her new monthly column in Departures magazine.
The column is set to debut in the November/December issue accompanied by DVF’s own photography.
“Her whole life is like a Departures magazine,” editor in chief Richard David Story told WWD, citing the designer’s “commanding and authoritative style.”
Apparently, you don’t want to get Vivienne Westwood started on tweed. Oh, who are we kidding, yes we do! Her fave? Harris tweed.
The cloth is handwoven by the islanders of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra in their homes, using pure virgin wool that has been dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides off Scotland.
“You can’t make a bad anything with it. It lends itself to the body. The texture is brilliant; it’s tactile, yet it will take a form and hold it. And the colours are so atmospheric. It’s a misty, British thing,” Westwood said. “The clouds are lower as they come across the Atlantic, you don’t have the high clouds and blue sky of the Continent.”
