Dubbed the “Fashion Oscars,” celebrities and designers strutted their stuff last night at the 2012 Costume Institute Gala. Held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this year’s Costume Institute Benefit celebrated Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada and the opening of the “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations” exhibition in New York.

When Baby Phat first launched all those years ago, it was an edgy, street brand – the little sister to Phat Farm, all fierce with the sassy kitty logo. Fast forward to today, and Baby Phat has changed quite a bit. The cat logo remains, but gone is the urban feel, replaced by a softer, more boho look for Spring/Summer 2012. The tropical collection features “an elevated glam aesthetic,” perfect for days lounging on the beach, or heading to it. Think printed maxidresses with flouncy ruffles, batwing-style tops, zig zag shorts and maxi skirts to wear with breezy tank tops, crocheted...  Read More..

When we first heard that Anna Dello Russo would be designing an ‘over-the-top accessories collection‘ for H&M, we immediately thought, “Well, this is absolutely worth lining up for. Just tell us when and where and we’ll be there, credit cards ready!” The past few H&M collaborations have had us salivating but unfortunately we missed out on Marni, skipped Versace and only snagged a few accessories from Lanvin. But this one is a can’t-miss, won’t-miss (using our Diddy voice). Anna Dello Russo is known for her over-the-top style and personality, so...  Read More..

Marshalls can show you how to affordably accessorize your summer staple. Click the link above to learn more! Presented by Marshalls Share and Enjoy  Read More → Read More..

On Tuesday night I attended the NBC “Fashion Star” party at the H&M flagship store on 51st Street and Fifth Avenues.

Your work life and personal life typically should not merge, except maybe when it comes to your wardrobe. Of course you shouldn’t wear a sexy dress designed for dancing, to the office, but you can mix and match the right pieces that work well for wearing to the office and after work and on the weekends too! For instance, a print dress makes for good workday wear if you choose one that has office-appropriate coverage. On the weekends, wear it with some fun accessories like oversized jewelry and sexy sandals. Tote along a large handbag for work and the weekends. Click the image above to check...  Read More..

First start with these Rock & Republic Bumbershoot Embellished Denim Shorts. They have just the right amount of edge – they’re perfectly distressed and faded with side stud detail and a frayed,...  Read More..
