During
Glamour's 2009 Fashion Week, two of the most wearable trends that
emerged were the one-shoulder dress and the edgy little black dress (LBD).
The times are changing, and the LBD is changing with them. Designers
looked toward the future with seriously severe shapes, sleek cutouts
and body-hugging silhouettes that brought these black dresses a very
next-century feel. The one-shoulder dress is full of drama and
asymmetry that make it instantly intriguing and draws attention to
the shoulder and the face.
Anne
Hathaway recently donned a Sophia Kokosalaki mini-dress that embodied
the edgy little black dress and one-shoulder dress all in one.
The
unexpected cutouts of the Twinkle sculpture dress make a luxe frock
subtly sexy.
Nanette
Lepore's Athena dress is a button-down style transformed into a
sexy frock with a side bow, puff cap sleeves and a spread collar.

New Milford is a quaint town in Litchfield County, Connecticut. Located on White Oaks Road is Joan Rivers' 76-acre, 5700 square foot, 4 bedroom, 4 ½ bath country estate which is currently on the market for $6.5 million.
Her stone and clapboard country home, which was featured in Architectural Digest in February 2003, has touches that make it uniquely Joan Rivers such as the leopard print rug in one of rooms.

It's hard to imagine why an oil painting has been stuck above the stove in the kitchen or why blue-and-white ceramics teeter on a heavy beam above a bed in one of the guest rooms. The master bedroom is a girly pink fantasy complete with a canopy bed facing what appears to be an illustration of Joan and Melissa Rivers hanging over the fireplace.
After she bought the property for $1,438,400 in December 2000, Rivers demolished the house down to the foundation and then re-built the current home salvaging only the stone fireplace in the living room and a few stone columns from the original home. The property includes a 400 yard driveway ending in a circular drive, swimming pool and pool house, caretaker's cottage, detached barn and garage and a private pond.
