FW06 Fashion Trend: Grey Cardigans

We all know grey is THE colour of the season, and grey cardigans of all styles are simply everywhere in department stores. There are so many cuts to choose from that I want more than one! And like many other trends this season, the kind-of-long cardigans look best with skinny jeans. Personally, I think one should not wear these grey cardigans with other types of pants because you will end up looking very formal and old-fashioned, (that is unless you're going to work or a formal event.)

A long-shawl-looking cardigan on the left by DKNY and the cropped cardigan on the right by James Perse.

I LOVE this Rick Owen Angora Blend Wrap Cardigan. It's SO stylish and relaxed-looking. I hope it's still there when it goes on sale because I'm sure I'll still love this one next fall!

The Daryl K (left) is another cardigan that I almost bought. It's so funky and effortless looking, (although I remember the one I tried on looked longer.) The baby-doll style cardigan on the right is by Paul and Joe.

These two Juicy Couture cadigans are the same but in different colours. Like typical juicy outerwear, they look very comforatable and casual.

The original cardigans: sophisticated yet retro-feeling -the left one is by Vince and the right one is by Marc by Marc Jacob. I bought the Marc one in the San Francisco Macy's with the tourists' tax free discount. It's so adroable.

These two (different) cardigans are both by Vince. It's sort of got a boho vibe going on, with the loose belts and the cuttings of the cardigans.

This Alexander McQueen cardigan is so cool -you can fold it up so it's a short cardigan, or let it down and it turns into a long, comfy cardigan!

Gwen's battle to lose her baby weight

Gwen Stefani talked to Ryan Seacrest Monday about her new album and her struggle to lose the baby weight she gained after giving birth to Kingston. "Let's just talk about how hard it's been," Stefani said. "That's been really hard. But it's almost gone." The popstar says she's still nursing her five-month-old son and has been following a diet and exercise regiment that includes regular jogs. "I've just been eating healthy. I cheat every day at least once." Stefani plans to start a tour in April in support of her new album, tentatively titled The Sweet Escape, and bring Kingston with her. "I'm excited to go out there and have the baby on the outside. He's the greatest thing in the world. There was no transition. It was just like, 'Where were you?'"

Anna Nicole facing eviction and paternity suit

Anna Nicole Smith failed to appear at a meeting with the lawyer of her ex-boyfriend today in the Bahamas. Larry Birkhead, the photographer who claims to be the biological father of Smith's baby girl Dannielynn, filed suit in LA seeking a court order to force the former Playmate to bring the six-week-old baby to LA for a paternity test. To make things even more complicated for the grieving Smith, an eviction letter was reportedly hand-delivered to her residence in the Bahamas. A Myrtle Beach developer says he bought the property where Smith has been staying for just under $1 million in August as a favor to the reality show star, and Smith was supposed to sign a mortgage to buy the house from him in turn but has since refused to do so. "She said it was a gift," the owner told People mag. "I never said that. I don't have that kind of money." As to whether he plans to formally admit Smith, he said, "I don't want to embarrass or humiliate Anna. I just need my money, or collateral, back." If Smith returns to the U.S., she will undoubtedly have to face the paternity suit filed by Birkhead.
