EBay will open its first pop-up shop on November 2 at 3 West 57th Street. Items to be sold include L.A.M.B. shoes, Michael Kors, Anthropologie dresses, and cosmetics from M.A.C. Don’t know about you, but I’m excited.

If you thought that you could only wear a moody color-palate this fall, then prepare to be surprised. While plenty of the classic, dark colors for fall were seen on the runway, many eye-catching shades— not usually around for this time of year— also made numerous appearances. Some designers used bright fuchsia, sunny yellow, electric blue, and tangy orange head-to-toe, while others preferred to use the colors as accents on each outfit.

Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta, and Valentino were amongst the big names who gave a splash of color to their fall 2009 collections.

A fun way to mix these colors into your own wardrobe is to accessorize. Wearing a bright belt or hat is an easy way to make a statement and stand-out amongst all of the more subtle colors this fall.

Here are a few pieces that help achieve your colorful wishes, while keeping you within your budget.

Carmen Koss stars in the new Michael Kors ‘Very Hollywood’ perfume ad. Call me old fashioned, but I love old Hollywood glamor, and this ad is so reminiscent of that era, and Carmen is perfect for this look!

This season, it’s all about the skin, glowing skin. All of the catwalk makeup looks had a clash of bold colors vs neutral nudes. I picked two makeup looks from the runway that I like. With so many great looks, from the red pout to the All-American peachy glow, let me know which makeup style works best for you.

NUDE

Brown shadows are worked around the eye with curled, mascara-free lashes and cheekbones are highlighted with pinky taupe blusher. A dash of shimmer across the cupid’s bow and don’t forget the neat brows.

Calvin Klein

Jill Sander

GLOW

Suitable for all skin tones, this look gets you glowing with blushers, eye shadows and lipsticks in varying peachy hues for a sculpted, sun kissed look.

Anna Sui

Elie Saab

PASTELS

Pale green, pink and lilac shadows give an almost futuristic appeal. In some cases eyes, lips, and cheeks were accentuated.

Alena Akhmadulliha

Emporio Armani

REDS

Red lips are back in a big way. The shade to the model’s skin tone – a mix of reds and pinks is mixed directly onto lips.

Michael Kors

Hussein Chalayan

THE BLACKOUT

Eyes took on a twist. Lids were lined with plenty of black kohl, tapered at the edges of the eye for a winged effect.

Caroline Hererra

Roberto Cavalli

Dawning on fall of the new year, Michael Kors has surprised us all with the Pre-fall 2009 collection. The new line is a combination of sophisticated dresses, chic coats, and a ton more. Though all of the pieces are collective in their character, the actual design throughout the pieces differs greatly from one work to the next. One thing that is common to all of the pieces is the innate ability to cater to just about any elegant woman.

GALLERY: Michael Kors, Pre-Fall 09

Alexander Wang, Michael Kors and Stella McCartney are just a few of the designers tapped by Barneys to give peace a chance. Each one has designed a one of a kind dress for retailer to be on display for their Have A Hippie Holiday windows.

The dresses go on display on Sunday. Ralph Lauren, Martin Margiela, Isabela Toledo, and Narcisco Rodriquez will also join the mix.

The new Harper’s Bazaar features some of the most renowned designers playing out their deepest fantasies, channeling their inner idols, the fun spread is a must-have.  Elbaz of Lanvin is working the Hollywood producer. Michael Kors, Karl Lagerfeld, Donna Karan, Donatella Versace, Alessandra Facchinetti, Giorgio Armani, Alber Elbaz, Rodarte’s Laura and Kate Mulleavy and Roberto Cavalli were all asked to get into character as something other than a designer.

The men took to the silver screen for inspiration, while others channeled forces of nature, animals and royalty. Armani played the role of Fred Astaire, Kors took on James Stewart’s L.B. Jeffries character from Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Elbaz reinvented himself as a Hollywood producer with James Bond flair and Cavalli went Gone with the Wind as Rhett Butler; he was shot embracing Coca Rocha as Scarlett O’Hara.

Here is the new print ad for Sean John’s new fragrance I Am King. Yes he named it I Am King. Don’t laugh the fragrance is expected to make $100 million.

Hate to rain on King Diddy’s parade but, this ad looks very similar to these Michael Kors ads from 2005. Kors has been pimping the ultra-luxe lifestyle (helicopters, private jets, yachts, etc etc) in his ads for years now.

When it comes to fashion, Diddy is far from King!

“It should not be about people blaming each other, of designers blaming agents, and agents blaming designers. Everybody should recognize that there is a certain aesthetic that designers are looking for to show clothes, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of someone’s life and health. It’s not about a debate on whether fashion is good or bad, but about our industry having a dialogue about how we can be and should be more responsible.” – Steven Kolb, executive director of the CFDA, discussing ultra-thin models.
Tonight, the topic will move back into the forefront when the CFDA hosts a discussion themed “The Beauty of Health: How the fashion industry can make a difference” at MILK STUDIOS. Diane Von Furstenberg, Michael Kors, and Coco Rocha are scheduled to speak on the issue.

Michael Kors, 1984

You have to love Michael Kors look from the mid-eighties. The then young designer had hair, non-melenoma prone skin, and even had eyebrows!!!  Oh, what a season on Project Runway will do to you. He comments on his Big Break moment below and his major fashion mistake (as if the current spray-on tan look isn’t bad enough).

“There have been many, but I guess the first would be my first season getting windows at Bergdorf Goodman. I was physically on the street at two in the morning directing them as they put the mannequins in.”

“The worst thing I ever wore was legwarmers when I was in school. I not only wore them, I used to wear two or three pairs. Everything was some shade of dusty mauve and rose, what I call ‘ishy colors.’ At the time I was wearing a burgundy boot. Fortunately, there are no photographs.”
