The sequins, the hairdos, the music... even despite his controversial life, no one should be taken so early.

It's Paris fashion week, and the streets are filled with fashionable men and women. Therefore, I had to add another Photo of the Week post, because I just NEED to show all of you these great looks (so you can take elements of them and implement them to your own transitional-season style) Enjoy!

1.) Guess who's back, back, back - back again, 'gain, 'gain. Some are thrilled about the return of "Slim Shady", but I'm even more excited about Zanna Robert's fashion week outfits. The skirt is divine - like no other I've seen this entire season. Notice the reuse of the bag as well (http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/2209RlblkWeb1.jpg) Anna W. would approve.

2.) This picture you really need to click to enlarge. The pale pink fanned skirt gives a 'cutting edge' to the classicality of the fur stole and black pumps combo.

3.) Yes this photo wasn't taken at a fashion week exactly, but at a party for Alexander Wang. There were models galore, including one of my favourites, Lily Donaldson. But this is not Lily. This is Dree Hemingway, wearing a fabulous outfit.

4.) There's no easier way to dress cheery and gleeful in these very un-cheery and un-gleeful times than with a pop of citrus colour! Not only is it easier to wear than you'd think (especially in small doses - an oversized clutch, a chunky bangle, a fantastic Tom Binns necklace...) but it's delicious-looking as well.

5.) Yea, a regular pair of leather booties, grey skinny jeans, a white shirt and... what's that?!!? Voluminous fur shoulders atop a motorcycle jacket? This is truly fashion on the top, bike-chick on the bottom.

6.) Everyone has a little leather jacket, but green leather is a twist on the modern classic. The mostly-black outfit is a great backdrop to showcase the coveted green leopard scarf. For most who don't often wear green, this is a green explosion, but not a green overload that almost anyone can be inspired by.

1.) This takes the sheer silhouette to a different level! It's like a fashion optical illusion.

2.) First off, I love Zanna Roberts. A really admire her impeccable style, and this photo is no exception (she's only the left, if you're unsure). Not to say that I don't like the Phillip Lim dress on the girl on the right, but Zanna can do no wrong. I really like the combo of classic white shirt and leggings paired with leather boots and embellished cardigan.

3.) So I'm not that into the moccasin boots (too LA-scene kid) and the volume on the top is too overpowering. The reason I chose this picture? The leggings! The cutouts on the side are genius. I have a pair from Leyendecker (http://www.shopbop.com/kerouac-ripped-leggings-leyendecker/vp/v=1/845524441837765.htm?folderID=2534374302023681&fm=search-shopbysize) and they're heaven.

1.) An eclectic mixture of textures and layers brings life to this rainy-day ensemble. 

2.) Capes are all the rage this fashion week - get ahead of the trend! 

3.) Usually these Herve Leger bondage dresses can look inappropriate and cheap - but this outfit is exactly the opposite. The muted colour palette and opaque tights elongate. Dasha Zhukova as elegant as ever.

I thought this appropriate considering Tuesday's events. Happy new presidency everyone!

This Sonia Rykiel advertisement was one of my favourites of the season. Both Iekeliene Stange and Irina Lazareanu look stunning intertwined on a snow covered street (in a serene European location, no doubt). It's equal parts ethereal and haunting, and it conjures up images of slasher movies as well as fairytales. I love that it's provocative not in a trashy way, but in the way that it makes you think and really analyze it, and that's what a good photo should do - make you question it.

In the era of the recession, fashion has to rise up against the depressing sale racks and listless outerwear. The easiest way (for me at least) is by reviving old clothes and mixing them into my staple items in unexpected ways. Case in point, adding patterns. Colour-blocking may still be 'in', but to me, nothing screams 'what recession?' louder than a beautiful, outfit-balancing pattern (although a $4,000 Alexander McQueen gown might also do the trick - see netaporter.com, 'grecian bustier gown') I thought these would be some good inspiration photos for the upcoming month(s). Hope you're inspired!

Black makes the perfect backdrop for this casually chic outfit. The gold hardware on the bag is a nice compliment to the multi-dimensional shades of the coat. And the Wayfarer's and beanie? Perfection!

Ummm, was it just us, or was Robert Pattinson amazing in "Twilight"?!!? I have a new obsession :) But back off ladies (and gents!) - this ones MINE!

Natalia proves to us that a complicated, brightly coloured dress such as this one can look stunningly effortless, and that you don't need to clutter it up with unnecessary accessories and make-up.
