Stella McCartney’s Fall 2011 dresses have been making the red carpet rounds – especially her Contoured Colorblock Sheath Dress. And why not – it’s the most flattering dress we’ve seen in a while! It shaves inches off your waist and hips (or at least gives the illusion of doing so) and creates the perfect figure for any woman who wears it. So far we’ve seen the black and white version on Lala Anthony, who wore it on Regis & Kelly to promote her VH1 show, “LaLa’s Full Court Life,” Kate Winslet who wore it to the Venice Film Festival, and...  Read More..

The cool, dry fall weather is perfect for donning chic riding boots and layering yourself in chunky knits and leather jackets. However, the weather is not always so friendly to your hair. Just as the summer heat adds extra oil to your hair and scalp, the fall and winter chill quickly dry them out. So I’m always on the hunt for that perfect moisturizer to add to my hair, to give it shine without weighing it down. Enter Beautiful Curls by Alaffia – Shea Butter Curl Oils. It’s a line of two-in-one hair oils made from moisturizing, fair-trade shea butter and other botanicals like...  Read More..

Singer/actress Beyonce may be several months pregnant but she’s still serving up fierce competition to her fellow fashionistas. She attended the Tory Burch Madison Avenue flagship store opening on Sept. 13 in New York City wearing a black Michael Kors pre-Fall 2011 leather-Bodice Gown with mid-waist cutouts and a full skirt. Naturally, her hair was worn in long, wavy blonde curls, and she accessorized her look with Lorraine Schwartz earrings and a black Alexander McQueen clutch. Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester wore the same black dress back in January, at the special screening for her...  Read More..

Though Fall is rapidly approaching, it doesn’t mean you have to give up color for the season. In fact, pops of color were spotted on the fall 2011 runways and are one of the major fashion trends of the moment. We love these resin Pop Art Clip Earrings by Sobral for their fun bursts of colors like pink, red, purple, blue, green, yellow and orange in watercolor-like ‘brushstrokes’. Wear them for an understated way to add color to earth tones or even for an extra splash to your colorblock looks this fall. At $35, you afford to add these lovely and colorful additions to your jewelry...  Read More..

We’ve been on the hunt for a few handbags to update our fall wardrobe and the MICHAEL Michael Kors ‘Hamilton – Large’ Distressed Tote tops the list. The distressed leather, gold hardware and logo-engraved locket gives this tote character, and is more visually appealing than leather in pristine condition because it has a vintage, rustic quality that we love.  The worn, faded finish is a contrast to feminine, flirty pieces and also looks fabulous with jeans and boots. The ‘Hamilton-Large’ Distressed Tote also features rolled handles, a chain and leather...  Read More..

Summer is officially over and we are heading into fall, and while you are starting to get your wardrobe together, don’t forget to refresh your beauty routine. Fall 2011 is all about standing out with bold, dramatic trends that will keep you looking oh-so-fabulous. Try some of these fall looks that will get you noticed this season: Bright lips are in big time. Whether you want to go with a classic red, like MAC Russian Red, or a bright orange shade, like Yves Saint Laurent ‘Gloss Volupté’ Sheer Sensual Gloss Stick, SPF 9 in Tangy Orange, brights work well on all skin tones when...  Read More..

The average runway show lasts roughly 15-20 minutes, so whatever you’ve designed had better make a quick and lasting impact. Canadian twin designers Dean and Dan Caten did just that, sending models down their DSquared2 Fall/Winter 2011 runway in ice-skates-turned-high-heel-boots. The DSquared2 ‘Skate Moss’ boots are just what they say they are – a pair of boots with rubber-bottomed metal ice skate blades attached. No, they don’t actually work, and even if they did, we wouldn’t recommend wearing these 8″ high boots in the snow. But if you follow the Lady...  Read More..

I have to admit – I haven’t shopped at Sears since I was a pre-teen and only recently realized how many fashionable collaborations they have. Of course there’s the much-hyped Kardashian Kollection, but did you know that UK brand French Connection has a line at Sears too? I recently attended a blogger brunch at The Breslin hotel where fashion and style bloggers gathered to preview the Fall 2011 UK Style by French Connection collection, which is available only at Sears. And unlike usual presentations, where you just walk around ‘ooh-ing’ and ‘aah-ing’ over...  Read More..

We never thought we’d see the days of luxe shoes at Payless, but that all changed several years ago thanks to some fab designer collaborations with Alice + Olivia by Stacy Bendet, Lela Rose, Isabel Toldeo, Silvia Tcherassi and Christian Siriano. The latter, Project Runway winner and one of our favorite designers, has just rolled out his Fall 2011 Gold Collection for Payless inspired by his Fall 2011 plant-inspired runway accessories, and the shoes are amazing. The Christian Siriano for Payless Women’s Pearl Platform Pump exude a luxury feel and are something we’d expect to see...  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..

When we heard that Rachel Zoe was launching her own line, we thought: “Yes, she can dress others, but can she design too?” Well the answer to that question apparently is a resounding ‘yes’. Her line of apparel, accessories and footwear recently launched and every single piece tops our Fall shopping list. Way at the top of the list, however, are these super chunky Rachel Zoe Eva Suede Wedges. Manolo Blahnik may think that the platform shoe is ‘over’, but after checking out these shoes, we’d have to disagree. These black stacked wedges feature a 6″...  Read More..

Before the Royal Wedding, we watched burgeoning style star Kate Middleton, and after the wedding, her sister Pippa quickly became one to watch as well. The Middleton sisters are both becoming fashion royalty in their own right – as items they wear quickly turn to retail gold, crashing websites and selling out almost immediately. One of the brands that they share a love for is Reiss – a UK-based women’s and men’s fashion brand owned by founder, David Reiss. Kate has worn Reiss on multiple occasions, including in her engagement photos (the Nannette Dress), on her honeymoon...  Read More..

One of our favorite color combos for Fall is navy blue paired with luggage tan. Together the colors give a classic, equestrian-inspired feel. We’re imagining a perfect Fall look consisting of a navy cardigan with tan riding pants. And this cutesy bag fits right into that look. The Chloé ‘June Bow’ Flap Shoulder Bag is a perfectly-sized, sweet little handbag featuring a navy blue leather body in a square-shaped silhouette, with an oversized tan bow across the front with small brass dome studs on each side and a gold logo bar in the center. The bag also features a magnetic flap...  Read More..
