SHOPBazaar exclusive: LIMITED-EDITION LANVIN NECKLACE When Bazaar spotted the cheeky necklaces at Alber Elbaz's Lanvin show—they read "Cool," "Hot," "Love," "Happy," "Help," and "You"—we had a stroke of inspiration. We asked Elbaz to make a limited-edition version (there were only 20 produced in total) specially for our ShopBAZAAR e-commerce store. The exclusive bijou reads "Beyond," since that's how we feel about these prize pieces. The rarest statement jewelry of the season is stylish for infinity and beyond.

HOW DO YOU DEFINE personal style? For me, Candela designer Gabriela Perezutti Hearst is it. She is a true mix master, throwing on a woolly sweater and riding boots with a Valentino gown, and looking effortlessly chic no matter how she puts it together. For this month's Personal Style issue, Bazaar features more than 20 incredible women who have it, and Gabi gets my full endorsement. From Bianca Brandolini d'Adda to the singer Ciara, expect some names you'll recognize and some you won't—yet. Another seriously elegant woman I've long admired is Denise Hale, the epic San Francisco socialite, world traveler, and great lover of clothes. Ralph Rucci is one of her closest friends and designs much of her wardrobe. Denise is also a jewelry aficionado. She always wears precious jewels—always.…

18-KARAT GOLD RUSH One of Bottega Veneta's signatures, the box minaudière got a fresh look in 2001, when Tomas Maier took the design reins and updated it with a distinctive knot closure. The Knot clutch was an immediate hit, and versions of it have appeared in every Bottega Veneta collection since. Maier raised the stakes for fall, weaving together—in traditional Bottega fashion—18-karat-gold strips for maximum opulence. With a price that starts at $100,000, the clutch can be luxed up even more with a custom diamond clasp. "It's the perfect hybrid between fine jewelry and bags in a collection that's mostly about contradiction," he says. Bottega Veneta minaudière. 212-371-5511.…

NOTABLE KNITS A favorite among fashion insiders, the knitwear brand Chinti and Parker has become a go-to for chic and cozy clothes. This month marks the arrival in stores of its line with Patternity, a British design studio that specializes, as the name suggests, in bold patterns. Be on the lookout for their extra-soft cashmere pieces in graphic black-and-white. Net-a-Porter and Fivestory have already snapped up the collection, so get these cool-weather staples while they're hot. MY PRIZE POSSESSION TABITHA SIMMONS THE FOOTWEAR DESIGNER'S most beloved object is a skull ring from the esteemed Venetian jeweler Codognato, an enamel, crystal, and gold take on one of the nearly 150-year-old house's signature designs. The ring was a fortuitous gift from her husband, the photographer Craig McDean (he went to great lengths…

VIRGO AUGUST 24–SEPTEMBER 23 Try not to panic if you're not getting information about a venture that involves someone you like and trust. Early in August you'll learn everything you need to know. From then on, it will be a matter of letting your ingenuity and originality dictate. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: Encouragement is the oxygen of the soul. LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24–OCTOBER 23 Though you may feel you have to be a leader in the outside world, there's no reason to dominate at home. Those close to you will want to see your softer, gentler side. You may have had to develop a brittle shell to survive, but it doesn't have to be a permanent feature. MOTTO OF THE MONTH: Power may last 10 years, but influence lasts a hundred.…

TELL US WHY YOU CHOSE SAN FRANCISCO FOR YOUR NEXT RESTAURANT, TOSCA. When I moved from Britain, I spent some time there and fell in love with it—the blue skies, seeing the fog roll in, the produce, and the market at Ferry Plaza. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE ON THE MENU? I want to go back to Italian cooking, like handmade pasta. I'm just so excited to play around. WHAT TRENDS ARE YOU SEEING IN FOOD RIGHT NOW? Nordic cuisine and foraging. We're still in that molecular gastronomy stage, but now the ingredients are more local. HOW DID IT FEEL TO EARN MICHELIN STARS FOR NOT ONE BUT TWO RESTAURANTS? Amazing. When I found out, I was behind the bar at the Spotted Pig, pouring a beer for…

Sarah Easley's Montauk: The Kirna Zabête co-owner shares her beach getaway WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT MONTAUK? It's far from work and school. The sky seems higher. The weather is more intense. I love having no schedule. WHAT TO DO THERE Our go-to beach is Ditch Plains. It's crowded, but it has the best waves for surfing, or so my son and husband insist. Pros include fun people-watching, and two different trailers to buy food from: Ditch Witch, and a fancy new silver Airstream called Turf that sells lobster rolls. Sometimes the Montaco truck rolls up too, so there's no need for a picnic. I like to hike on the cliffs with the family and our dog, Indie; relax in the hammock (well, I always plan to); lightly supervise the…

MODERN METALLIC Although intimidating, "gold, bronze, and copper textures are goofproof to apply because they're so easy to blend," says makeup artist Ashleigh Ciucci. Use a cream or a powder formula on your lids to just above the crease. Forgo liner and keep mascara minimal. HINT OF BURGUNDY This hue isn't for wallflowers. Rim your eyes with brown liner, then apply a pinky-burgundy shade on your upper lids and blend under lower lashes. Off the runway, "avoid placing shadow too close to your inner corners, since it can make you look tired," advises Barose. LUXE VIOLET Purple flatters all skin tones. For fall, skip bright variations in favor of richer versions "with a sheen but no shimmer," which still looks chic after age 35, says makeup artist Nick Barose. If…

While Alexander Wang may be famous forrunning full speed through life, on his first day at Balenciaga he chose to tread lightly. "Everyone was nervous about who I would be, and whether they would maintain their positions," says the 29-year-old American wunderkind who was named creative director of the venerable fashion house last December. "There's the perception that when you go to a house, everyone gets cleared out and you start over. For me, it was important to go there and build relationships first and foremost." And so, on a gray day in December, Wang arrived in Paris, shook the slush from his tousled mop, and proceeded to meet with nearly everyone at the company, from the CEO to fit models to patternmakers. "I was so excited and so scared…

VISITING DENISE HALE at home in San Francisco is a bit like being teleported to early-19th-century Paris. With its extravagant moss-green silk velvet walls, moody gold-frame paintings by Redon, Vuillard, and Degas, and imposing Russian imperial bronze doré candlesticks, Hale's living room is a Proustian confection so perfectly rendered, it's almost a shock to see the Golden Gate Bridge glittering outside the windows. "It's my base, my retreat," she says, holding court amid an array of Chinese famille rose and Kangxi porcelain, elegant Japanese silver crane sculptures, and Italian Baroque gilt-wood consoles. A woman as beloved for her outspoken opinions and strict code of manners as for her gilded lifestyle, Hale is out on the town here almost every night. "I find my city life is a must. If you…

From boots to bags,the season's best fundamentals go back to basics 1 THE ANKLE BOOT NO CLOSET IS COMPLETE without the just-above-the-ankle black boot. Luckily, the style was all over the runways—some of the best in show were the single-sole stacked-heel versions, which are perfect in fall with a skirt and bare legs or with a pair of slouchy pants. Chloé shirt, jumper, bag, and boots 2 THE CUDDLY CLUTCH OVERSIZE clutches havebeen kicking around fora while, but the latest takehas a twist: It's soft and squishable, to be carried around like a chic plush toy. 3 THE TULIP SKIRT HITTING RIGHT BELOW the knee, the new skirt to buy isall about movement. It's fittedon top and fluted at thebottom for maximum swing. Céline jacket, skirt,clutch, and boots 4 THE…

BLACK AND WHITE may be the ubiquitous color choices for fall (the collections at Proenza Schouler, Balenciaga, and Dior were all virtual odes to the starkly elegant pairing), but a woman cannot live on black and white alone. Luckily, designers like Francisco Costa at Calvin Klein, Phoebe Philo at Céline, and Jil Sander opted for a softer palette for the season, mostly in navy and gray. I know what you're probably thinking: "Navy and gray? What could possibly be new about wearing those neutrals?" Well, plenty. Just as fall's black-and-white silhouettes have little to do with a classic white shirt and black pants, navy and gray have also taken on brand-new permutations. For as long as I can remember, navy has been relegated primarily to resort and spring dressing. Striped…

ART BOOKS In honor of his firm's 50th anniversary, the tome Richard Meier & Partners: Complete Works 1963–2013 masterfully documents the acclaimed architect's oeuvre. Mario Sorrenti's collage-like anthology, Draw Blood for Proof, captures the photographer's creative process through his collected snapshots, Polaroids, and ephemera. SUMMER READS Books we're slinging into beach bags and loading onto Kindles this month include: After Her, Joyce Maynard's tale of two California sisters and their plot to ensnare a killer known as the Sunset Strangler; These Few Precious Days, Christopher Andersen's exploration of Jackie and Jack Kennedy's final year together and whether the Camelot couple was still in love; and Babayaga, Toby Barlow's story of spies, witches, and intrigue set in Cold War Paris. On the other side of the Soviet era, there's Necessary Errors,…

WHERE TO STAY The Aman Canal Grande Venice is the latest addition to Italy's storied hotel scene, and is a best bet for Venice Film Festival–goers this month. Located in a 16th-century palazzo with neo-Renaissance and Rococo interiors, it's one of the city's most opulent lodgings. Guests arrive by boat, and are met with a frescoed reception hall, sweeping staircases, and two lush gardens. WHERE TO SHOP The new Louis Vuitton store (steps from Piazza San Marco)offers rotating art exhibitions, starting with the video artist Tony Oursler, and is among the few luxury shopping destinations in the ancient city. WHERE TO EAT Acquastanca, a warm wood-beamed restaurant on the nearby island of Murano, is a favorite of locals, who flock here for dishes like spaghetti alle vongole and baccalà with…

Full, shiny, bouncy hair never goes out of style. "It's a no-brainer," says hairstylist Gerard Touroul. "Everyone wants it regardless of the trends." Globe-trotting stylist Luigi Murenu concurs: "Women in America request high-volume styles more than anyone else." So how do those of us who are plagued with limp, lifeless strands make the big transformation? Read on for secrets from the pros. START IN THE SHOWER If you have flat, fine hair, sudsing up with a volumizing shampoo is half the battle, says Chris McMillan, Living Proof celebrity hairstylist and the man responsible for Jennifer Aniston's luscious locks. These formulas "aren't going to make your hair huge," he says, but they'll "make the styling process easier." Look for the same hydrating ingredients found in products to plump your skin, such…

REMEMBER your mother's favorite admonitions about watching television? "Don't sit too close—you'll rot your brain." "Junk food for the mind!" Granted, these days we aren't pressing our nose up to the living room tube as much as staring at smartphones, tablets, and laptops. We binge on entire seasons of Scandal or House of Cards, are glued to a thriller at 3 A.M. while our partner snores a foot away, and scroll through Facebook during bouts of insomnia. And it turns out Mom's warnings carry over: A couple of hours of up-close screen time right before bed—and often in bed—may be (a) messing with your sleep, and (b) causing you to pack on the pounds. According to a recent study at the Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy,…

The power of an intense lustrous pout is not to be ignored. Emily Cronin explores how to update your look instantly. Call it the red-lip renaissance. Notice-me pouts were all over the fall runways, from a matte stain at Marni to a deep burgundy at Louis Vuitton and a glossy opaque at Antonio Berardi. ("When I think of a strong, sensual woman, I can't imagine her without a bold red lip," says Berardi.) Off the catwalk, rouge-loving ladies from actress Emma Stone to J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons—the namesake of a best-selling orange-red Bobbi Brown lipstick—are making the look their signature. No longer the preserve of pinups and well-heeled grandmothers, today's red lips feel anything but retro. And the new formulas make them incredibly user-friendly. Forget brushes, lip pencils,…

Who would have thought you could stand in the rain and stay completely dry? Visitors to Rain Room, a brilliantly interactive installation at New York's Museum of Modern Art, can do just that. Using a series of motion-sensor cameras, the installation—part of the eco-themed art festival "Expo 1: New York"—cues a cascade of water to stop falling whenever a person is detected. "The idea of complete immersion, of a body cocooned in a rainstorm, triggered our curiosity," says Hannes Koch of Random International, the London artists collective behind the project. Acquired by Restoration Hardware's Gary Friedman when it was but an idea on paper for the launch of RH Contemporary Art (which will open a gallery in Chelsea in September), the room has been luring New Yorkers to dance between…

The next time someone tells you, "Women don't dress like they used to," instead of grinding your Valentino Rockstud kitten heel into his foot (it usually is a he, isn't it?), you can sweetly agree, before launching into a brief outline of precisely why this means progress. For years, women who loved fashion dressed relatively the same, presenting a sort of united style front. If Christian Dior's New Look was in, you wore it. Those slim, curve-hiding shifts in the '60s? Every woman wore one, whether or not it suited her. That's now changed. Personal style isn't what it used to be. With the Internet and the flourishing of street-style blogs has come a dizzying liberation that has enabled us to think about clothes as a bona fide expression of…

To accentuateher famous hourglass figure, she turnsto Dolce & Gabbana, Vera Wang, Marchesa, and Hudson, picking up pieces at Bergdorf Goodman, her go-to store. As for beauty, life on theModern Family set has made Sofiaa master of the time-saving tip: "If you only have time to put on one thing, make it mascara. It opens upthe eyes."

The lifestyle maven shares her schedule 770 peony plants 4 cats, 3 dogs, 22 canaries, 5 horses, 3 donkeys 200 farm-fresh eggs 5:00 A.M. I wake up and take my three dogs—Francesca, Sharkey, and Genghis Khan—out into the courtyard. They write their own blog about goings-on around the farm, parties, and animal friends, so they have to wake up early too. I check my e-mails and make sure my own blog posts are online. 6:00 A.M. I walk through my four greenhouses to check their condition. I feel responsible for these plants—it's like seeing that the children are fed and dressed. Right now my peonies are giving me the most enjoyment. I have one garden with 770 peony plants, and they're all in full bloom. 6:30 A.M. My trainer arrives,…

Someone at a dinner party once asked me what it was like growing up in Palm Beach in the '70s. We'd all had a few glasses of wine by this point, and there was a relaxed, expansive air around the table, so I answered rather theatrically: "All I remember is Lilly bikinis, backgammon, and the smell of melting Bain de Soleil." Like I said, theatrical. But the truth is, I'm hard-pressed to come up with a memory of Palm Beach that doesn't feature a splash of Lilly print. It was the town uniform. To make your way to the lunch buffet at the Bath and Tennis Club was to wade through a sea of gumball-bright Bermuda shorts overrun with laughing turtles, champagne-drunk monkeys, and tigers prowling among giant hibiscus. To…

The first time interior designer Nate Berkus and his fiancé, Jeremiah Brent, walked through the black lacquered double doors of their Hollywood Hills home, Brent burst into tears. "When we first heard about the house, we were obsessed with the idea of it because of the architect," says Brent, an interior designer known for his role on The Rachel Zoe Project. The Hollywood Regency–style two-bedroom was designed in 1939 by John Elgin Woolf (who counted Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn among his marquee clients), and Berkus says he enjoyed the challenge of quirky original details like a green-and-black kitchen with a 1950s stove, marble-inlaid parquet floors, and a pool that seems to lap up against the living room's curved glass wall. "I would never pick those things, but I love…

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT CAPRI I started going to Capri with my family when I was a teenager, and my husband and I were married there. Now it's a tradition to take a trip there every summer with my husband and kids, my parents, and my brother and his family. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES We hike along the Via Krupp, which has amazing vistas, or take a boat around the island, stopping in little grottoes for a swim and going snorkeling. We have a big, long lunch—we love La Fontelina for pasta and sangria. At night, we take the kids out with us and stay up late and eat gelato. As my mother says, "Every day is ice cream day in Capri." WHERE TO EAT Da Giorgio for great pizza and gorgeous…

MUST-HAVE: KAJAL LINER Guerlain's Khôl Me Kajal pencil ($37) is a highly pigmented black, ideal for tracing inside your lower lash lines. The wide nib allows you to use it as shadow too, which makes for an easy smoky eye. THE GRAPHITE MANICURE Gray is the go-to neutral for fall fashion, as seen at Vera Wang, Louis Vuitton, and Prada. An iridescent silver-gray nail lacquer, like this new shade from nail guru Jin Soon Choi, is the perfect accent. If you don't want to be matchy-matchy, wear red on your toes. GEL BLUSH = INSTANT FLUSH Estée Lauder Pure Color Cheek Rush—in Pink Patent, X-Pose Rose, and Techno Jam ($28 each)—requires just a quick tap-tap-tap with a fingertip onto the apples of your cheeks.
