You may or may not be over the skinny jean trend, but here’s a fresh take on pencil leg denim. Introducing HUDSON Jeans’ Loulou Tuxedo Crop Super Skinny. Inspired by LouLou de la Falaise, Yves Saint Laurent’s ‘muse’ who influenced the design of his iconic ‘Le Smoking’ tuxedo suit, the Loulou features a solid color leg with a phosphorescent stripe down each side. These tailored, cotton/elastane jeans come in Hudson’s classic five pocket style, with a zip fly and single-button closure at the waist. And did we mention they’re also relaxed fit,...  Read More..

We haven’t gotten one seriously heavy snowfall yet – but we’re tired of winter already! The short days and cold nights have us aching for warm and sunny weather! So any fashion that screams spring or summer is more than welcome right now. When we came across this neon pink blazer, we knew we were ready for the change in seasons. Neon anything is just the pick-me-up we need right now. This Elizabeth and James Bruce Blazer in Neon Pink is made of a sleek silk shell with cropped sleeves, front welt pockets and a single button-front closure.

Thanks! – Alison” Well, Alison, the shirt is the Susie Rose Juniors Cinched Ruffle Front Plaid Blouse, from Walmart.

When we think of statement pieces, an ‘It’ bag or standout necklace are usually the first things that come to mind. But a statement coat?! Now that’s rare. There aren’t many fall and winter coats that look different from the usual – khaki trenches or black wool peacoats are the standards. But Kelly Wearstler’s Horizon Coat is a nice break from the norm. This stylish coat is pure fabulosity with its colorblock-style, contrasting black and ivory hues with a sophisticated Mandarin collar and double-sided belt. When it’s chilly out, a sharp coat is the...  Read More..

In the midst of all the cutesy party dresses, skirts often get overlooked. While most skirts are of the casual or office variety, there’s a few that can do double duty at the office and later at the holiday party. We found this wool and ribbon Tsuga Skirt by Maeve that with the right top and accessories can take the place of your holiday party dresses. Made of polyester and wool, this moss green A-line skirt features appliqued ribbon in an all-over geometric grid pattern. Pair with a black silk pussy-bow blouse, black pumps and gold statement jewelry and you’re all set for after work...  Read More..

This holiday season tell them you want to ‘put a ring on it’. On your sweater, that is. Fall and winter was made for chic sweaters and it’s the perfect time to ‘rock’ this Ruby Ring sweater by Markus Lupfer. Made of navy blue merino wool, this round-neck sweater with ribbed trim pops with a large, multicolored ‘ring’ embellishment on the front, fashioned out of sequins. Pair with anything from skinny jeans to a sleek leather skirt. Feeling extra festive? Add string of pearls or a chunky gem necklace (like this one) to really rock it out! Made of 100%...  Read More..

If you’re like us, you’re already thinking about holiday parties and considering what to wear. Sure the standard party uniform is a pretty, sparkly dress, but we can’t stop wanting a pair of these pretty, sparkly metallic pants that are also party perfect. Straight from fast-fashion store Zara, these Metallic Trousers come in silver or gold, with an edgy side zip at each ankle. We love that they’re cute yet edgy; muted yet shiny and they speak volumes. You can dress them up or down – we’re thinking we’d wear them with an equally shiny sequin top with a detailed...  Read More..

Peplum-style dresses are so haute right now. While a full peplum dress might be too over-the-top for every day wear, you can still rock the trend with this Aqua ‘Klingon’ Peplum skirt. This uniquely embellished skirt offers a futuristic take on peplum style, with a high fitted waist and structural, tailored bottom, with a peplum ‘flare’ at each hip. It comes in four colors (white, black, nude and orange) that you can mix and match with casual or dressy tops, whichever fits the occasion. We think the orange skirt paired with a chambray button down would make a fun weekend...  Read More..

September 8, 2011 marks the third annual Fashion’s Night Out, a major global shopping event that unites celebrities, designers, fashion personalities and everyone who comes out to shop and support their favorite retailers.

During the winter, my sister lives in her EMU boots. She can’t say enough about how plush and comfortable they are, and how they keep her feet warm and dry, no matter what’s happening outside. I’ve never owned a pair of my own but I have worn hers, and have not wanted to give them back! EMU’s Fall/Winter 2011 footwear collection is full of those classic, sheepskin-style water resistant boots that we’ve seen on celebs like Kate Hudson, AnnaLynne McCord and even Kingston Rossdale! But there are a number of new modern styles as well. Some of our favorites include the...  Read More..

We’ve said it before – we adore Rachel Roy’s designer collections, as well as her own personal style. She’s been popping up on red carpets everywhere in the season’s hottest trend – colorblock, mixing colored pants with print or contrasting color tops and shoes, plus fun accessories – but it’s always the pants that remain the focal point of our attention. The Rachel Roy collection offers the perfect pants to add a pop of color to your fall wardrobe – the Crepe Colored Trouser. These straight leg, fully lined pants feature a zip front with button closure...  Read More..

What goes around comes back around again and right now it’s the denim shirt. A denim shirt is super versatile – it can be worn casually with colored denim or even another shade of blue jeans; with leather leggings for a rocker look, or paired with a short print skirt or even over a maxi dress. The right denim shirt is one that’s not too crisp; rather it’s slightly slouchy and distressed, with a relaxed feel. Current/Elliott’s ‘The Perfect Shirt’ denim shirt is just that – perfect. This blue cotton long-sleeved top features a pocket-less front (but with...  Read More..

We’re in a swim state-of-mind. So the Karmaloop Ladies Swim 2011 Lookbook couldn’t have arrived in our inbox anymore timely. The swimsuits are all available on Karmaloop and there’s a look for every woman. Bikinis, monokinis, and standard one-piece suits are beyond basic, with leopard and multi-colored prints, metallic treatments, lace and fringe detail and beading. In the lookbook, the swimsuits are styled fabulously with haute jewelry pieces and footwear also found on Karmaloop. While we’re not likely to wear a pair of Jeffrey Campbell’s Lita lace-up platform shoes...  Read More..

Like many of you, we spent Memorial Day weekend at the beach. Where else should one be to usher in the (official/unofficial) start of summer? We see many more sun-filled beach days in our immediate future so we’re in need of a smokin’ hot swimsuit to traipse along the sand in. Our pick? The Thayer Halter One Piece. This hot pink swimsuit, with an almost metallic sheen may be called a ‘one-piece’ but arguably, it’s quite a bit sexier than your typical two-piece bikini. The halter top leads to a sexy plunging V-neck front and open back, and the ruched waist with wrap...  Read More..

This back and forth weather leaves us scratching our heads most days. “Should I wear a jacket and boots?” “Or should I go with sandals and a skirt?” “Do I need to carry an umbrella?” The weather is hot then it’s cold and it’s not as fun as the Katy Perry song. So we’re saying “Forget you” (thank you Cee-Lo) to the weather and just wearing what we want. And since there’s never really a RIGHT time to wear a leather dress, we’re going with right now while the weather decides to make up its mind. And our pick is this super...  Read More..
