Solange Knowles of course is no stranger to wearing prints, but usually we see her in a mix of tribal or geometric prints. She debuted a new print last weekend when she attended a dinner at The Pool Room at the Four Seasons in honor of Halle Berry, who joined Michael Kors and the United Nations World Food Programme to help fight world hunger. Solange wore a pair of Michael Kors ‘Samantha’ Digital Cloud Print Skinny Shantung Pants ($1,395 at Nordstrom), paired with a sleek black blazer, a white, buttoned-up blouse and black sandals. The cloud print comes from Michael Kors‘ spring...  Read More..

Three young starlets – one cute floral print party dress! Alice + Olivia’s Lollie Belted Embellished Collar Dress ($797) has been making the Hollywood rounds lately. Earlier this month, actress Sami Gayle attended The Cinema Society with Roger Dubuis and Grey Goose screening of FilmDistrict’s “Olympus Has Fallen” at Tribeca Grand Hotel wearing this fun floral frock. She paired it with an orange python print clutch and cream and neon pink point-toe pumps. Actress AnnaSophia Robb wore the dress on set while filming as young ‘Carrie Bradshaw‘ on “The...  Read More..

I’m a sucker for certain things when it comes to fashion, including the color pink, the color black, studs, leather and bows. I will buy pretty much anything that has a bow on it – bags, shoes, coats, jewelry, etc. So when I spotted this alice + olivia Addison Bow Crop Jacket, I was immediately taken! But this is not about me, but about two celebs who apparently share my love of bows too. The two ladies wearing it couldn’t be more different – one, a reality TV star and ‘urban model’; the other a popular actress. But it just goes to show the popularity of bows!...  Read More..

I truly am a bag stalker. Just ask my ‘bag guy’ at Neiman Marcus. When I see a bag I want, I will not stop until I find it. That was the case with this Proenza Schouler PS11 Tote. For some reason, it kept showing up in Barneys ads all over the web, but when I clicked through, it wasn’t available for purchase. I stalked this bag endlessly for months, tweeting Barneys & Proenza Schouler like a mad woman until finally, FINALLY it reappeared on Barneys’ site. I came, I saw, and had to buy it! The top was a recent find at TJ Maxx – they’ve always got THE BEST...  Read More..

Remember the days when we called Target, ‘Tar-zhay’ because of its higher end items? Well now the store is really living up to that name as it continues to increase its luxury cache with the launch of a holiday collaboration with Neiman Marcus! Yes, you heard that right.

Thanks to a little celebrity inspiration, this season I’m obsessed with the color yellow. Eva Longoria rcoked a yellow blazer at Nice Cote d’Azur Airport while heading to the 2012 Monte Carlo Television Awards, Nicole Richie wore a yellow dress when she appeared on on “Extra” to talk about her show Fashion Star and Beyonce recently sported a casual yellow short suit while in Paris with Jay-Z. The color yellow is perfect to wear on both bright and gloomy days – it’s my go-to hue and it feels like I’m wearing sunshine! You can rock it top to bottom like...  Read More..
