Princess Diana's Timeless Style Sells for $360,000

Even though I hadn't even been born yet when Princess Diana did an iconic twirl at the White House with John Travolta (yes, that's him in the photo!) I still know how to appreciate timeless style.  And this dress, and Diana herself, were the epitome of that.

In fact, ten of Princess Diana's most iconic looks were held to the same esteem, being auctioned off this week at the London Kerry Taylor house.  The gorgeous off-the-shoulder gown, made in a deep midnight blue velvet by designer Victor Edelstein (swoon) that she wore to the White House sold for $360,000!!! And who bought the dress??  Simply a man who was "looking to cheer his wife!"  

And while that timeless dress will forever be etched in the minds and hearts of all fashion lovers, both young and young-at-heart, she has had so many looks that paved the way to true style, class and elegance, I just had to pay a little homage to Princess Diana and her beautiful life of fashion.  

So enjoy some of our favorite looks that she wore so effortlessly!  Which is your favorite?

Strawberry Shortcake's Designer Makeover!

Long, lanky, leggy models aren't the only ones strutting their stuff during the whirlwind of fashion events during Fashion Week.  The one and only Minnie Mouse was just honored in London (adore!) and now our beloved red head is getting a chic makeover to make Minnie just a little jealous!

Strawberry Shorcake is getting a head-to-toe look revamp from French designers like Sonia Rykiel for a line of original Shortcake dolls to be auctioned off next month in Paris.

And just when you thought Miss Strawberry couldn't get any sweeter... all of the proceeds go directly to Ce Ke du Bonheur, a French charity that strives to better the lives of children and teens in hospitals.

Awesome!
