The British Rehab singer Amy Winehouse is currently in talks with iconic British label Fred Perry and has already started sketching out a few of her own range of shirts.

The songtress often wears the label’s trade-mark polo shirts and a source told the Sun that she couldn’t help talking about the possible deal while she is on holiday in St Lucia.

The spectator explained: “She was almost childishly excited and couldn’t stop talking about it.”

“She is looking better and doesn’t seem to be drinking that much.”

A spokesperson for Fred Perry declined to comment.

We talked about retro shoes earlier.

Let’s continue our theme.

Terry De Havilland Wedges

Seventies

Terry de Havilland - a rock’n'roll cobbler who created footwear for celebrities such as Bianca Jagger, Britt Ekland and David and Angie Bowie designed the most wonderful Seventies platforms.

Terry de Havilland came from a shoe-making family. Once he said:

I’d be surprised if I’d got into this business if my dad hadn’t been in it. I grew up watching shoes being made.’

His first shop on the King’s Road, named Cobblers To The World, became a place often visited by rock stars and celebrities who could buy wedge shoes with ankle straps in peach, yellow, pistachio and blue snakeskin, and thigh-high, satin-lined black leather boots.

Soon after Miu Miu had showed a collection of wedge designs very similar to his originals, de Hevilland restarted his own-name brand and created a new series of wedge shoes for Frost-French’s lingerie-inspired catwalk collection. The shoes stole the show and de Havilland transfixed a new generation.

Now, many celebrities wear modern versions of his original designs. For instance, Sienna Miller, Kate Moss or Amy Winehouse.

Your collection will seem incomplete if you have no wedges of the seventies. They are nice to look at and comfortable to wear.

Celebrities are also preparing for Halloween and some of them have already had great Halloween parties.

There’ll be no last minute costume panic for Sean “P Diddy” Combs, who has told that he will be rabid on the dance floors of the luminariest celebrations dressed as the Pope.

Also Sean “P Diddy” having just spent a rumoured $20 million adding sports outfit label Enyce to his fashion collection - has saved some bucks  while putting the look together.

I bought the costume, the robe and the hat from a second-hand costume store in Los Angeles,” Diddy tells.

Rising Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez revealed she’s dressing up as June Carter Cash this Halloween.

Me and my best friend Demi Lovato have a tradition [of trick-or-treating] that we’ve been doing ever since I can remember. We actually wear masks so it’s so funny because people don’t even know we’re walking by them,” the teen star said in her interview for OK! magazine.

Cindy Crawford was a scary Amy Winehouse, Sacha Baron Cohen dressed up as a cow, other stars wore America’s stripes and stripped to bikini-clad costumes in the lead up to Halloween at Kate Hudson’s place for her Halloween party in Brentwood, Los Angeles. Courteney Cox wore a witch costume.

We’ve already taken a look at Fall 2008 footwear trends and it’s high time we checked main outerwear tendencies for the upcoming season. It’s worth noting that both foot and outerwear this fall borrow much from man’s fashion, though trying to keep things as feminine as possible. So balancing femininity and androgynous look is what this season’s outerwear trends are about.

Cropped leather jackets

Biker vibe is in the air this autumn. Cropped jackets top the trend list. They look great with leather skirts, pencil skirts, skinny-legged pants or just voluminous skirts, floral print or neutral dresses. Add skyscraper heels, patent wedges, scarves, hats, and edgy accessories to complete your new city girl image.

As for top trend accessories this season, they are studs, spikes and chains. You can find them anywhere this fall, from purses to belts and ankle boots.

Cropped jackets come in plaid as well. This way you can create a more sophisticated country-girl look. Again, accessories and suitable top trend clothes are essential.

The great thing about cropped jackets this fall is that they are different and suit all age groups. And thanks to celebrities like Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson, Amy Winehouse, Paris Hilton and Victoria Beckham this trend is hotter than ever.

Military Coats

Military is another top trend. Styles borrowed from Russian officer uniformed coats and jackets, Russia tsar-inspired accessories like brass buttons and shoulder epaulettes make the front fashion line. Cossack-style coats, shaggy fur hats and military caps are what you need this fall to look super hot and incredibly stylish.

In cases this kind of fashion experiments in not your type, you can turn to more traditional military look, like khaki coats, for instance.

You can pair your new military outerwear with a mini dress or a voluminous skirt.

Plaids and tartans

Plaid coats are big in thing this fall. Add a pair of trendy rubber boots or stylish motorcycle boots, wear them with outfits with floral prints, and mismatch tweeds and plaids together for an edgy and tremendous style.

Cocoon coats

Cinched-waist coats are a thing of the past. Designers including Marc Jacobs and Narciso Rodriguez create cocoon-like shapes. Pairing such a coat with stockings, boots, heels, or wedges makes your legs seem long and lean.

Cashmere coats

It’s neo-’50s style. Elegant and sweet, cashmere coats make a comeback this autumn and winter. Designers like Peter Som, Michael Kors, and Diane von Furstenberg advise having your new cashmere coat in the palest of pastels.

Indian chic

Pocahontas-and-the-like-inspired motives and patterns are also top fashion. You can find them in outerwear, dresses, waists, and skirts. Pair your new coat with tall cuffed, slouch, or motorcycle boots.
