Pre-Fall 2010-Oscar de la Renta

For Oscar de la Renta's pre fall 2010, there are deep mustard tones, red, creams and black. Many different tweeds and sheer black tights. For some reason, I noticed a Russian style vibe to this collection. Interesting and very chic.

New Style Icon: Katerina Graham

Katerina Graham is on a new show on the CW, The Vampire Diaries. She is a terrific actress, singer, dancer, songwriter, and the list goes on! We really love her style. It is fresh and yet so edgy. She has been quoted saying, "I don’t wear what’s on trend, and always like to do my own thing. In fact, if everyone is wearing one kind of style, I purposely veer off to do my own thing." (iheartheels.com interview) We agree.
Kat is also very involved in many different charitable organizations. She has attended many events such as Children Mending Heart, Friends Without a Border, and many more. Love it! We just hope to see more of her!

Fur or Not?

Everyone has their opinions about using furs. I choose not to use real animal furs. But I love using faux fur! It works as a great substitute and you do not have to harm a small animal! Plus it can be washed in your washing machine, compared to real furs that need to be dry cleaned. Most faux furs are 100% acrylic, a man-made fabric.

The pink coat is Oscar de la Renta.
Sienna Miller is wearing Topshop.

Can't get enough of...

If Agyness Deyn, Victoria Beckham, and Jackie Chan somehow miraculously reproduced, you would have the perfection of Tao Okamoto. She is such a breath of fresh air, a definite trend setter, and THE HAIR!!! If you don't know her, then let me introduce you to pure fabulousness....

Fall/Winter trend.

Velvet leggings. Who would have thought I would be so head over heels over somethings so....you know i do not even have a word for it.
So much fun and so very comfortable plus I imagine they would be very warm for the Manhattan winter months!
Would you wear them?

Kristen Stewart's Fit

I like Kristen Stewart. She is a "no bullshit" kind of girl. She has a mind of her own. It's refreshing for some of the Hollywood cliches`.
So I really love this outfit on her. The Christian Louboutin flats are fun and contrast well with her Dolce & Gabbana sleeveless 'gun' tee. The blazer tops off this outfit and makes it edgy yet crisp. J'adore.

Fall 2009

I hope everyone has had a chance to take a peek at the Fall 2009 collection. It is a small collection but there will be much more for Spring 2010!
We want to throw out a special thanks to our lovely Adair Springfield who modeled the entire collection! She was great to work with!
I am posting a couple of the photos from the fall collection! Enjoy!

Fall and winter accessories.

We all have our favorite cold weather accessories. Whether its scarves, gloves, muffs, coats or boots, everyone loves to layer. My obsession this year is gloves. I have fingerless leather, leather, lace, knit, etc. I even started to add my own flair by adding studs and spikes. Here are a few designer gloves at a steep price that you could DIY. Find a pair of cheap leather gloves. You can buy studs online at M&J Trimmings. Mark on your gloves with chalk where you want to place your studs. You can place studs in leather by hand using a hard surface or hammer to close the studs in place. No need for special tools and you can get a fun pair of gloves at a fraction of the designer cost. Feel free to comment if you have any questions about how to do it! Enjoy!

Xo,
Erin

Insane footwear.

I look at these shoes and say...wow and ouch. I think it is pretty fascinating that shoes can be made into a piece of art, but I know for sure my face would hit the pavement before I even had a chance to put on the other shoe.
My favorite would have to be the bootie adorned with a sash detail. So fun but I hope I wouldn't trip over it.
What do you think?

Cheers,
Erin

The Strong Shoulder

Everyone has an opinion of the strong shoulder. But you either love it or you hate it. Personally I love the strong shoulder on blazers and it is a fun trend that will not last. Yes you saw it before and yes you will see it again. It is one of those trends like neon nail polish or flare leg jeans. Keep it in storage because it may come back in a decade or two.

New "IT" Bag of the Season

So if you know me, you know I have an obsession with handbags, purses, clutches-call them whatever you want- i love them.
Well Rachel Bilson as well as Leighton Meester, has been spotted with the cutest, most wonderful bag recently. It's studded and it has a bow! Amazing and only one designer created this masterpiece-Phillip Lim. I had the honor of attending his Spring 2010 fashion show under the tents at Bryant Park and I am extremely excited to see it in stores!

Unfortunately, it is not available for purchase in the states right now. This bag retails at $895.

Paris Fashion Week-Victor and Rolf

Be prepared to be amazed. It is just CRAZY what these men did with tulle! I mean WOW. The line just took my breath away. Look at how they used a whole optical illusion effect with tulle?!? I mean you can get that stuff for like $1 /yard. It may not be quality but it can definitely be cheap and damn useful when you are putting on a huge fashion show and have 17 garments to complete in a short amount of time. Obviously I am a tulle abuser. Just look at all of my stuff from MacroFashion from last October. Anywho. Enjoy the amazement Victor and Rolf created.
By the way, Love these shoes!

Paris Fashion Week-Stella McCartney

The Beatles are my all-time favorite band. I think I have every song by The Beatles on my iPod. It is only natural that I love Stella. Well this collection is amazing. Why you ask? Because I LOVE RUFFLES!!!! This is my own personal heaven. I want to play dress up! Really I would wear it to the grocery. So much fun!
