My Model Muses Coco Rocha was fierce in Fall Fashion for Madame Figaro’s September issue. Styled by Marta Lasierra, the mega model donned key fall trends and looks by Prada, Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana to name a few. Coco's Porcelain complexion and berry pout was perfected by makeup artist Claire Bayley. Her pre-cropped coif was done by Thanos Samaras (She's now sporting much shorter hair).

Decked Out In Deco: Louis Vuitton F/W 2013 Jewelry Collection

Inspired by the art deco movement of the 1930's, the Louis Vuitton F/W 2013 Jewelry Collection is bold but understated. Romanian model Andreea Diaconu has a subtle "don't f@*! with me" edge in this laid-back luxe campaign. Charm, Bib and Collar necklaces make a statement while leather and tortoise shell are key materials.

Five Favorites from Tyra Banks Presents: 15

There has been a bit of controversy surrounding Tyra Banks Presents: 15, a photo exhibit that debuted last week during New York Fashion Week. Tyra was transformed into 15 of the most famous supermodels using only makeup, no retouching. The hot topic, she dons "white face" to portray some of the supermodels. While some are calling it reverse racism, I see it as a true reflection of race inequality in the fashion industry. Earlier this week Iman and Naomi Campbell were interviewed regarding them publicly naming Major Designers who do not use black model during fashion week. Regardless of the politics behind it, I was thrilled to see Tyra's transformations. She continues to inspire and push boundaries, what more can you ask of a fashion icon? I would love to know your thoughts!

Who doesn't love a good Target collaboration? A few of my favorites include Libertine, Missoni, Neiman Marcus and Prabal Gurung. The highly anticipated 3.1 Phillip Lim x Target is due to hit stores nationwide September 15th.
