WHO: Peaches Geldof
WHAT: At the Milly by Michelle Smith S/S 12 show on Wednesday.
WEAR: It's always a treat when we come across the Geldof sisters at Fashion Week, and this year was certainly no exception. Peaches turned up at the Milly by Michelle Smith S/S 12 show and immediately caught the attention of onlookers with her psychedelic paisley print skirt! We approve of the British model's decision to keep the statement-making pattern in the spotlight by pairing it with a simple black tank top and nude bow-bedecked heels, and are particularly fond of her spot-on finishing touches: a pendant necklace and red lipstick.

WHO: Rachel Zoe
WHAT: Front row at the Supima S/S 12 show last Thursday.
WEAR: Rachel Zoe took a break from her busy schedule and prepping for her first ever Fashion Week presentation to check out the Supima S/S 12 show, and we couldn't help but notice her ultra-chic all-noir ensemble. The stylist/designer/yummy mummy looked fabulous in pieces from her F/W 11 collection, specifically a black and white striped blouse and wide-leg tuxedo suit.

WHO: Julia Restoin Roitfeld and Caroline Sieber
WHAT: Hanging out together at an after-party for Richard Hambleton.
WEAR: We're always excited when we spot a stylish duo-a pair of fashionable friends equals twice the sartorial splendor, as demonstrated by Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Caroline Sieber! We're crazy for JRR's all-noir ensemble, which consisted of a star-print Dolce & Gabbana dress with Miu Miu heels. Of course we are equally smitten with Sieber's effortlessly chic look, specifically her Theyskens' Theory dress, Chanel chain-strap bag, and Celine heels.

WHO: Meredith Melling Burke
WHAT: Checking out the Fenton S/S 12 collection at the Four Seasons Hotel last Friday.
WEAR: Though there are a variety of ways to pull off the denim-on-denim look, we're partial to Meredith Melling Burke's approach to this ongoing trend. Vogue's Senior Market Editor showed up at the Fenton S/S 12 presentation in a chambray shirt tucked into a pair of '70s-inspired wide leg jeans. The combination of mid-blue hues is perfect, and we appreciate that she kept her look unfussy and casual by leaving the shirt slightly unbuttoned and opting for minimal accessories-a smart styling tip for a girl on the go!

WHO: Poppy Delevingne
WHAT: Spotted at the Yigal Azrouel S/S 12 show last Friday.
WEAR: Leave it to British model Poppy Delevingne to show up to the Yigal Azrouel show in what might just be the coolest outfit! We adore the way she accented her fancy black lace Rag & Bone dress with some unexpected and quirky accents, including a Meli Melo The Bon Bon Bespoke Bag ($553) with fringe trim, vintage gold belt, and studded, leopard-print Christian Louboutin sneakers. The resulting look is quite fun and very stylish indeed!

WHO: Elin Kling
WHAT: Hanging out at an after-party for Richard Hambleton last Friday.
WEAR: We're not the only ones who are fans of Elin Kling's first-class taste-she has a popular blog, Style by Kling, that's worshipped by many a fashion follower. We think Kling's standout look at NYFW was this laidback luxe ensemble, consisting of a turquoise Whyred sweater, Acne leather skirt and belt, and metal-capped heels from her own line, Nowhere. We give this blonde blogger an A+ for creating one seriously cool outfit!

WHO: Giovanna Battaglia
WHAT: Photographed before the Thakoon S/S 12 show at the Plaza Hotel on Sunday.
WEAR: While we thoroughly enjoyed all the bright, bold looks from last season, there's something so refreshing and chic about a mix of warm neutrals right now. Case in point: the outfit Giovanna Battaglia put together for the Thakoon S/S 12 show. We spotted the L'Uomo Vogue fashion editor front row and were immediately drawn to her khaki vintage Yves Saint Laurent Sahariana jacket-it's an original from the 1968 collection!-which she wore with a pleated Prada skirt and tan Manolo Blahnik heels. To complete her safari-inspired look, Battaglia accessorized with layered bracelets on both arms and a Dolce & Gabbana clutch.

WHO: Elle and Dakota Fanning
WHAT: Snapped front row at the Rodarte S/S 12 show.
WEAR: Confession: we're a bit obsessed with Elle and Dakota Fanning right now. The stylish sisters are too cute for words and their impeccable taste in fashion is definitely worth noting. That said, excitement ensued when we spotted the two together at the Rodarte S/S 12 show decked out in head-to-toe designs from the brand's F/W 11 collection! Elle opted for a printed silk blouse and matching pants with black pointed heels, while Dakota went for a more feminine look with a sleeveless sheer lace dress and Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte wrap sandals.

WHO: Solange Knowles
WHAT: Photographed at the Luca Luca S/S 12 show Saturday.
WEAR: Solange Knowles has earned herself a permanent spot on our radar as of late, and it's easy to see why. The musician/DJ consistently picks interesting and on-point pieces, resulting in truly memorable ensembles. Take the outfit featured above, for example. Knowles showed up to the Luca Luca S/S 12 show wearing a bold, floral-print Balenciaga button-up shirt with a pair of abstract-print Luca Luca pants and leopard-print heels. You can't help but notice the visually intriguing mashup of prints, which translates into a flashbulb-worthy, fashion-forward look.-Jessica Baker and Erin Fitzpatrick

WHO: Arizona Muse
WHAT: Fashion's Night Out celebration at the David Yurman store last Thursday.
WEAR: Talk about getting crafty! Arizona Muse hit up the David Yurman FNO event last week wearing a shirt she made herself just a few hours before out of fabric and double stick tape. We give the model major props for her very successful last minute D.I.Y. project, especially her decision to pair it with a black Theyskens' Theory maxi skirt and a mix of David Yurman and personal jewelry for a seriously chic after-hours ensemble.

WHO: Joanna Hillman
WHAT: Snapped at the BCBGMAXAZRIA S/S 12 show at Lincoln Center last Thursday.
WHY: We're always on the lookout for Joanna Hillman's killer Fashion Week ensembles, and the outfit she put together for the first day of shows was definitely one of our favorites! Sporting her signature black shades and red lip, the Harper's Bazaar Senior Market Editor stepped out in a Rebecca Minkoff trench coat with fur trim layered over a white Theory tank top. However, it was her Tommy Hilfiger Theresa Pajama Pants ($298, 212.223.1824) and studded Mulberry bag that made this look a real winner in our book.

WHO: Karolina Kurkova
WHAT: Feting Carine Roitfeld's book, Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent, at Barney's New York Saturday.
WEAR: Kurkova turned heads, as usual, when she showed up to Carine Roitfeld's book party-a karaoke bash that that lead to a few must-see performances, including Mr. Valentino singing Unforgettable and My Way-wearing a maroon and sheer paneled Altuzzara dress with beaded detailing from the F/W 11 collection. The frock is quite cool and sexy, just like Kurkova, plus, we love that she kept the focus on the dress by opting for a clean,natural beauty look.

WHO: Hanneli Mustaparta
WHAT: Photographed front row at the Yigal Azrouel S/S 12 show last Friday.
WEAR: Our jaws nearly dropped to the floor when we spotted Mustaparta in this wonderfully bright Yigal Azrouel number. Not only is it the most perfect shade of green, but the side slit gives the frock a subtly sultry vibe we love. We also tip our hats to the style blogger's lust-worthy accessories, specifically her Karen Walker Number One Crystal Sunglasses ($329), which further accentuate the fun and energetic vibe of her overall look.

WHO: Rose Byrne
WHAT: Snapped at the Bottega Veneta store for Fashion's Night Out in New York.
WEAR: Oh Rose Byrne, how we love you so! The actress celebrated FNO last week at the Bottega Veneta store and captured our attention wearing a bright pink and red frock-Bottega Veneta's Faded Stripe Dress ($2450, available here in Orange) to be exact-which she cinched with a loosely tied black sash to give the frock some shape and unfussy attitude.

WHO: Emmanuelle Alt
WHAT: Spotted front row at the Alexander Wang S/S 12 show on Saturday.
WEAR: Here at WWW, we can certainly appreciate a woman who knows what she likes and sticks to it! In the case of Emmanuelle Alt, that means plenty of button-ups and slim jeans; a timeless combo that is always stylish and chic. We came across the French Vogue Editor-In-Chief at the Alexander Wang S/S 12 show sporting an Isabel Marant chambray shirt partially tucked into white slim cropped jeans, and worn with a pair of Dolce & Gabbana sheer lace heels from the F/W 11 collection. Now that's a Fashion Week uniform we can stand by!

WHO: Leigh Lezark
WHAT: Hanging out before the Zac Posen S/S 12 show Sunday on Monday.
WEAR: We're consistently enamored with DJ/model Leigh Lezark's outfit choices, so it comes as no surprise that we're head-over-heels about her latest ensemble. We love the juxtaposition of conservative separates, including a tweed jacket and noir blouse, paired with a thigh-high-slit skirt (all Zac Posen), which adds up to one intriguing look, indeed!

WHO: Karlie Kloss
WHAT: At a BLK DNM party celebrating Purple magazine's Issue #16 at the Standard Hotel on Saturday.
WHY: We only wish we were as stylish as Karlie Kloss when we were teenagers! Per usual, the fashionable-beyond-her-years catwalker looked radiant in her black and white ensemble, which consisted of a white Urban Outfitters crop top and Doo Ri skirt. Kloss pulled off the sometimes-tricky bare midriff look with true sophistication and glamour, leaving us completely smitten (not to mention envious)!

WHO: Selita Ebanks
WHAT: Celebrating Fashion's Night Out in New York at the W Times Square.
WEAR: Selita Ebanks, you had us at kelly green 3.1 Phillip Lim suit! We one hundred percent approve of the actress' daring outfit selection, which not only lends itself to a standout look, but is perfect for the summer months! Ebanks incorporated more color into her look with blue Winick & Son NYC jewelry and red Christian Louboutin heels.

WHO: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
WHAT: Kicking of NYFW at the JCPenny and People StyleWatch "Miss for a Must" part last week.
WEAR: Now, we'd be remiss if we didn't include at least one image of the beloved Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in our NYFW week coverage. The stylish twins were hard at work prepping for The Row's S/S 12 show, but fortunately, they did have a minute to support FNO last week. It should be noted that both ladies selected black blazers from The Row, but while MK went for an edgier look with a pair of The Row leather pants and Manolo Blahnik pointed-toe brown suede boots, Ashley styled her jacket in a more feminine way, with a deep-v neck silver metallic dress (also by The Row) and Manolo Blahnik embellished kitten heels.

WHO: Alexa Chung
WHAT: Attending Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and Andy Valmorbida's A Retrospective Party last Friday.
WEAR: One thing that never fails to make us giddy is an Alexa Chung-sighting at Fashion Week! It's no secret that we're huge fans of her quirky sensibilities-she's our Guest Editor this month, after all-so we were duly thrilled when we spotted her at Cynthia Rowley. For the S/S 12 show, she paired Rebecca Taylor's Ghost Flower Print Ruffle Dress ($425) with this season's most covetable shoes, Miu Miu's Glitter Booties ($890). From the frock's cutout detailing to the shoe's shimmering glitter, we can safely say we love everything about this outfit!-Jessica Baker and Erin Fitzpatrick.
