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. Azealia Banks, who attended with and was dressed by Alexander Wang, was the performer for the night. And of course, the fashion was out in full force and as always, we saw major hits and misses. Trends we spotted Cameron Diaz...  Read More..

The floral-print trend is in full bloom this spring! (Pun intended). We first caught a glimpse of florals on the spring 2012 runways, and on celebrity It girls over the past few months. Drew Barrymore recently wore a vibrant J.Crew Jules Floral Print Silk Dress on the Tonight Show, paired with delicate Aurelie Bidermann jewelry and chunky suede Brian Atwood shoes. Solange Knowles rocked a blue floral print suit at Diane Von Furstenberg’s Fall 2012 show. She paired it with a contrasting orange and white print top and yellow pointed-toe pumps. Actress Tika Sumpter wowed at the Tracy Reese show...  Read More..

The Obama 2012 campaign has partnered with 22 designers to create limited-edition items that will raise funds for the President’s 2012 re-election. The “Runway to Win” initiative officially started last week, and so far, we like what we see! The collection of t-shirts, scarves, bracelets and totes, designed by the likes of Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Diane von Furstenberg, Beyoncé and Tina Knowles, Narciso Rodriguez, Jason Wu, Rachel Roy, Alexander Wang, Joseph Altuzarra, Rag & Bone and Tracy Reese, feature each designers’ unique, creative spin on the Obama 2012 campaign,...  Read More..

We’ve spotted these sexy, silver tasseled Alexander Wang Anais Metallic High Heel Loafers (now $454.99) on many a celebrity, style blogger and fashion editor and they’re absolutely GORG! The classic, preppy loafer gets glammed up in a shiny metallic with a pointed toe and covered 4¼” heel. Of course we’re biased because we love everything Alexander Wang touches. But then we discovered that Jeffrey Campbell, another favorite shoe brand of ours, also designed an edgy silver tasseled shoe: the Jeffrey Campbell ‘Zealous’ Pumps. We also love this metallic shoe,...  Read More..

In this season filled with over-the-top colored denim, maxi skirts, polka dots and colorblock, we’ve been taking notice of a more subtle trend – leather tops and shirts. As seen on the Fall 2011 runways at 3.1 Phillip Lim, Céline, and The Row, leather tops can add another level of sophistication to tailored trousers and skirts, or a bit of edge when paired with jeans or leggings. Though we can’t say they’re highly practical (trust us, you’ll get hot – quickly!), we still love how they look. They’re just as fashionable and versatile as leather jackets so you can...  Read More..

Animal print never gets old with me. The past few seasons have been all about leopard print but I still held tight to my zebra print Jeffrey Campbell shoes. The truth is, they never go out of style. Punctuated by an electric blue snake print heel and trim, these shoes are super haute and super sexy. And the best part is they’re comfy. There’s nothing better than a sexy, comfy heel. If I can make it around the cobblestone streets (yep, they exist) and rough sidewalks of New York in style, they’re keepers for the long-term. See me wearing these shoes, featured on Jeffrey Campbell’s...  Read More..
