Kate Walsh always looks stunning whether we’re watching her on the big screen or on the ABC hit TV show Private Practice.
We caught up with her recently…she shared her love of leather and netting. But her fashion fetish is booties.
“I’m obsessed with booties and um shoe boots as we say. I’m loving anything where I can show my legs.”

Private Practice Season 4 premieres on September 23rd
Fashion week is coming soon to its new local—Lincoln Center in just a couple weeks!

Former founder and lead orchestrator of Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week, Fern Mallis told us she was sad to leave, but an opportunity to see new things…
“I’m sad about leaving Bryant Park. It’s home, it’s familiar, everybody knows what they are doing here and how it works. But you know its like everything else, it will be an opportunity to reinvent and discover a few new restaurants and sandwich shops. It’ll be fine but it’s sad after almost 18 years.”
We also wonder what it will be like with Fern in her new role – founder of Fern Mallis LLC, a consulting group. Her first client? IMG Fashion of course!.
Bethenny Frankel was “oh so sweet” in person when we met up with her in NYC to chat about being a new mom.

She told us she likes to use Mustela bath products for baby Bryn’s “bathies” at night. That’s what she calls bath time. Says she loves they way she smells afterwards.
Other tips: sleep when baby does and spend as much time with family as possible. How? It’s all about maximizing the time you do have. Bethenny shops online so she doesn’t have to leave the house and can savor those special moments with the baby.

When Amy Winehouse dropped out of tour dates with Mark Ronson, he tapped a South Londoner of Jamaican-Iranian descent–barely 21 years old–to fill those daunting shoes. But Roxanne Tatei, a.k.a. Rox, was more than up to the challenge. Her album Memoirs (Rough Trade) shares some of the feisty, handclappy 1960s sound with Winehouse, but she forges her own style. $22.50 at Amazon.
The Kardashian sisters have decided to partner with leading international designer Bruno Schiavi and his apparel company, Jupi Corporation.

Beyonce Knowles is spotted wearing a Falling Whistle–a symbol that advocates the campaign to take young boys off the front lines of war in the Congo. Other celebrities who support the cause include Jessica Biel, Doutzen Kroes and Laura Bush.

After hearing the horrifying stories of children sent to the front lines of war, only armed with a whistle to alert others of rebel forces approaching, Sean Carasso created Falling Whistles in an effort to bring worldwide awareness and peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
