Starting a collection known for its impeccable tailoring and great selection of fabrics has celebrities flocking to her Greenwich Village shop. Most recently featured on the cover of Lucky Mag.

Style Shakedown - Rachel Weisz

Here's the totally shanky Rachel Weisz in a smart print dress with pockets.

When picking a print always consider the size of the print. Small busy patterns can draw attention away from problem areas (arms-triceps, waist etc.). Big bold prints will slenderize and make a statement.

on the cheap - The Girl Next Door

Here's Elisha Cuthbert, you know the star of The Girl Next Door movie and Weezer video.

This little domino is wearing such a well-portioned outfit for her ultra petite frame. It had me taking notes and creating a list.

Here are my tips for choosing the correct belt for that perfect outfit:

1. When you are sporting one color from head to toe don't beak it up with a different coloured belt. unless you are creating a BOLD statement.

2. Those with larger bust lines and shorter waists should beware of wide belts.

3. Delicate frames with "small" bones should select small buckles and thin belts.
