The Look For Less: Smythe Tweed Slouchy Boyfriend Blazer
I already have a tweed Chanel-inspired jacket, but I don't have a cool tweed blazer . . .
The Look For Less: L.A.M.B. Metallic Tweed Jacket
Tweed is traditionally associated with the primp and proper (i.e. Chanel), but this L.A.M.B. Metallic Tweed Blouson Jacket, $485, is anything but.
Inspired: Time For Tweed
I passed by the Knoll store this morning and saw a Saarinen Executive Chair upholstered in a rich, wintry tweed sitting in the window. Then, I got my computer up and running and saw this smart J. Crew Wool Tweed Oona Coat ($550).
Trend Alert: Tweeds
Old school fabric tweed is an ideal material for winter - it is moisture resistant, very durable, and very cute. Tweed automatically adds grace and sophistication, and is a fun fabric to wear in a more corporate work environment. These days, tweed is spun in different colors and patterns so it is no longer a drab, rugged Scottish man's material.

The Look For Less: DKNY Embellished Trim Wool Jacket
There's something intriguing about a black jacket that has a hint of shine, like this DKNY Embellished Trim Wool Jacket ($504).

Since most modern Coco Chanels are budget conscious, I hunted down a less expensive version that is twice as nice.
Trend Alert: Twilight Tweed

Twilight tweed is a classic fabric updated with modern styling. Today's tweed options come in all forms — dresses, skirts, shorts, and jackets — just be sure to select something that feels fresh.

Jade And Jack Are Married!
As expected, Jade Goody married Jack Tweed at Down Hall Country House Hotel in Essex today, in front of 200 guests, a Living TV film crew and OK! magazine.
Her publicist, Max Clifford, said Jade was able to stand for most of the 45-minute service, and added:
"It started at 12.45pm so I suppose she kept him waiting for about 45 minutes, but that's her prerogative I'm told.
Trend Alert: Tweed Jackets
Womenswear has been influenced by Coco Chanel since she opened her first store in 1913. She reinvented fashion for women, reworking classic fabrics and adding a sporty touch to traditional pieces. This year, fashion is acknowledging her inspiration through two films (The Secret Story of Chanel and Stravinsky and Coco Before Chanel) and with key pieces.
