Canadian supermodel and undisputed Vogue darling Coco Rocha is back with her second episode of travel diaries on Style.com. Looking healthy and happy, Coco discusses pastries amongst other things with Jean Paul Gaultier at her fitting.

Oh, Suzy Menkes. How we love you and your kitsch-y wardrobe and witty style reporting!

Coco Rocha has come a long way since she found herself Irish gigging down the Jean Paul Gaultier runway a couple of seasons ago. In a time in fashion where fresh faced models are just as easily forgotten as what they've been eating, Coco has managed to navigate this picky industry and transform herself into a very hot commodity.

Just ask Anna Wintour. The editor-in-chief has put the Canadian in practically every issue of Vogue since Coco's first appearance back in 2006. So, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Style.com, Vogue's online home, has just created a web series that will follow Coco as she tries to survive her cross country trek for Fashion Week.

In the first part, watch as Coco plays with a casting director and explains how one can walk away with nice designer pieces after the show. Watch and learn.

Before there was Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangalista, Veruschka reigned supreme in the world of modeling. The 60s-era German icon begin her career at the Ford Modeling Agency and became a muse for famed fashion photographers like Irving Penn and Richard Avedon. Oh, yeah. She dated some guy named Warren Beatty. You may have heard of him.

Anyways, the legend has resurfaced to hawk her new hand bound fashion tome aptly entitled Veruschka, which features tons of glossy images of the supermodel and interviews done by David Willis. Recently, Style.com caught with Veruschka to discuss her new project and the circumstances that surrounded her most iconic images. In this clip, see the supermodel transform into a a sexy femme fatal, a yoga master, and yeah, a black president.

Happy Monday, guys.

As the popular 80s hip hip group Whodini once said: "Friends, how many of us have them?"

Well, we're not sure how many cool or riddiculous friends Elettra Wiedermann and Chris Benz have between them, but we do know the two are very, very fond of each other.

Before Elettra packs up all of her things in New York to study biomedicine at The London School of Economics and Political Science this fall, Style.com managed to snag a interview with her and designer Chris Benz.

In ths clip, watch as the buddies giggle, talk about how awesome the other one and discuss a little bit of fashion in between. Enjoy.

While the most of us have been glued to the TV for the last couple of weeks watching some the world's best athletes compete at the Beijing Olympics, there's another group of people competing in a very fierce retail competition stateside.

In honor of the summer Olympics, Opening Ceremony released a limited-edition run of metallic gold and silver Air Max 1 and the Nike LunaRacer. They also threw a really big party, too, and even had jewelry designer Philip Crangi host a ping pong match in their store.

Luckily, the good people at Style.com went and documented all of the madness for those who are more into Micheal Phelps instead of Marc Jacobs right now. In this clip, watch as a slew of guests breakdown their funky outfits, amongst other things.

Being the voracious readers that we are, we're always checking out reading lists (and no, we aren't in Oprah's book club, even though she does have some good picks now and again). That being said, we were quite thrilled with Style.com's summer reading list -- the list itself is based on fashion, although the books aren't actually about fashion.

(Because you know, if it has to do with fashion at all, it's work for us, so we totally give ourselves a pass to take any of these out to the pool and read for a couple of hours. We're working.)

While trolling through the Style.com fall 2008 accessory report (yes, already) we stumbled on this wacky silver, enamel and Murano glass ring by designer Delfina Deletrezz. It was love at first sight!

Unfortunately, you had to be either a super fabulous socialite or a semi-famous movie star to enter the 2008 CFDA Awards ceremony that took place last week. So as you can imagine, our invitations never made it in the mail.

Anyways, the good people at Style.com just added this video to their site that gives us a regular folk a small glimpse at what some of the attendees got to experience in full on Monday night.

The CFDA's commemorative programs are just as important as the dinner table settings. And this year, Diane Von Furstenberg tapped Brazilian supermodel Raquel Zimmerman to exclusively star in the Mikael Janson lensed mini book.

In this clip, watch as Zimmerman transforms from a rugby player to high fashion punk princess.

Another bright summer day. And another must-watch Style.com video.

Today's mini feature stars the former showgirl and burlesque queen turned vintage shopper Ruth Lewis and the owners of the Las Vegas store Valentino's Zootsuit Connection, where the seventy-one year old retro glamor babe stocks ups on hippie maxi dresses, polka dot tops, and sexy sequined ensembles.

If there is one thing we know about Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, it's the fact that she loves herself some Coco Rocha.

It has finally arrived. Well, sort of. The hotly-anticipated Sex and the City feature film hits theaters on May 30th.

And Vogue has tapped the flick's stars, Sara Jessica Parker (Carrie) and Chis North (Mr.Big), to front their June issue. The accompanying editorial with the two is called "Rebel Romance," and features the on-screen lovers in various locations getting intimate -- while wearing the chicest outfits, of course.

Style.com just added this video of the shoot, which was photographed by Annie Lebowitz over a period of three days back in March. There is also a sneak peak of a scene from the movie that depicts Carrie striking a pose for a fictional age issue of Vogue.

We. Can.Not. Wait!

Style.com just added this video of hunky designer Thom Browne taking his daily jog in Central Park.

Fur is out.

Feathers are in.

This Fall, the runways are ready to take flight with all of their feathery looks. Maybe birds are pissing off fashion designers as much as they are pissing me off, because it seems they have decided to take action by plucking those suckers bald and applying their pretty little feathers to your clothes. Whether it is a feathered details in your hair (as seen in Nina Ricci's runway show) or the off -the-shoulder feathery mini dress as pictured here by Ohne Titel; feathers are hot.

Feathered frocks are also not very practical to wear in your everyday life, so if you like the look you are going to have to work it in subtly (and hope your co-workers aren't allergic). Try working in feather details to your headbands or even a small amount of feather trim to the bottom of a dress or top. As this look "takes flight" retailers will find a way to work synthetic feathers into your garments in a way that won't have you looking like Big Bird.

We have seen open-toed boots mentioned on StyleDash before (in fact I wrote about them twice). I really thought that if I closed my eyes they would just go away. Looks like that trick doesn't work. At all. In fact, the open-toed boot trend has taken it to the next step by opening up the heel too. Let's just show off the two most unsightly parts of the foot, please.

Balenciaga has brought us these boots for fall. They are interesting to say the least, so interesting that I actually have to respect them. Balenciaga has gone so far past what constitutes "normal" in a shoe that these are actually okay with me.

The thing about most open-toed boots is that they just look like boots that had an unfortunate incident. These also look they have been in an "accident" of sorts, but the construction worker style of the shoe makes it much more interesting. The shoes tell a story and it goes a little something like this ...

A Paris Hilton type gets stuck with community service after yet another DUI and has to pick up trash off the side of the 405. Never to be one to look bad in uniform, the trendy little devil has Balenciaga design the fiercest construction boot anyone has ever seen.

Voila! The insane toe-less, heel-less boot is born.
