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... 

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’.... 

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...

We love that summer hasn’t even arrived and already we’re previewing Fall/Winter looks! But get your credit cards on standby because the ASH Fall/Winter 2011 footwear and outerwear collection is a rocker-chic lover’s dream! Studs, calf-hair, skulls and lots of black embody the collection of shoes and boots, sport sneakers, handbags and jackets for women, men and kids. This is truly... 

One show we look forward to every Fashion Week is Toni Francesc. The Spanish designer, now showing for his fourth season at New York Fashion Week, often uses the elements as inspiration for his vibrant and colorful collections. This season is no different. His upcoming Fall/Winter collection, GARUDÀ, is a modern-day interpretation of the legendary Phoenix – a bird with red plumage that is said to... 

Michael Jackson popularized the little red leather jacket back in the 80′s and we’ve been coveting them ever since. But the key is finding that just-right shade of red, and a cut that works with everyday looks. Nanette Lepore’s Hush Hush Leather Jacket is one of the best red leather jackets we’ve seen in some time, and should be made yours (and ours!) this fall. The merlot... 

Several weeks ago, What’s Haute Magazine was invited to a red carpet fall shopping event at Marshall’s. We joined a very small, hand-selected group of fellow bloggers, including Eye 4 Style, Style IT, Felicia Sullivan, I’m Not Obsessed and Nanodism with host, Alison Deyette, to get a behind the scenes look at off-price shopping and “shopportunity”. I’ve always been... 

How do I love thee Fall collection at H&M? Let me count the ways: 1. It’s the perfect special occasion dress, $49.95 2. Haute couture that’s hotly priced, $59.95 3. A woven knit dress that looks chic with a blazer taking you through the workday; ditch the blazer and add statement jewelry and kitten heels for a sultry look for dinner and drinks, $49.95 4. The only accessory you’ll... 

Remember when Fall was on the horizon and you looked forward to back-to-school shopping? For me that meant not only clothes and shoes, but cool new school supplies like Trapper Keepers and pencil boxes. But now that I’m “all grown up”, the only Fall shopping I’ll be doing is in the clothing store. I’m loving this fantastic skirt from Twinkle by Wenlan. The Pencil Box... 

We thought we’ve seen every nail color known to man (or woman) but Chanel recently anonounced that it’s going green this Fall. Not eco-friendly, but the actual color green. It’s releasing Peter Philips‘ (Creative Director of Chanel Makeup) Jade Green nail polish from its Fall 2009 collection as a limited-edition this October. If green nails sound horrid to you, don’t... 

For Fall 2009, Tibi designer Amy Smilovic presented a colorfully cohesive collection based on “a lighthearted moodiness influenced by the Russian fairytale, “The Tale of the Firebird“.” Smilovic’s jaunt to Russia resulted in a vivid display of satin dresses, chiffon tops, chicly cut wool coats a peacock-style prints throughout in hues of blue, black and gold. Though... 

Nanette Lepore is known for creating ultrafeminine pieces and her Fall 2009 collection was no different. The designer told media sources that she was inspired by “opulent women who mix and match pieces, travels a lot, collects and keeps clothes and mixes something fabulous with something old and vintage.” In her runway show, it was obvious to see the touches of vintage influences in the... 

Here we are in the blender. Many of the downtown up and coming designers and the clients that wear them are consistently combining the rebellious looks of the past as a way of striking out at the homogeneity that was constricting fashion. What happens when designers like Jordi Scott and Starr Rinaldi of Jordi Scott get a hold of the uniforms of rebels past is they become style terrorists and use design... 

Typically reality show winners suffer the curse of the sudden death of their careers once the show ends. But Christian Siriano seems to have shaken and broken the curse and his meteoric rise in the fashion industry has been something worth watching. Siriano won last year’s Project Runway and since has reached celeb status, partly due to his fierceness, but mainly due to his incredible talent... 

Applause is due to Tia Cibani of Ports 1961 for shifting her inspirational focus to a climate that is far, far away from both her home and the home of her last Fall/Winter collection. The choice of India was a risk as far as fabrics and cuts. I really liked the softness of the color palette and the materials looked very soft and luxurious. Being luxurious these days is akin to a mortal sin as well,... 

Fashion Week went by in such a blur that I didn’t even have time to run and check my mailbox. Had I done so, I would have realized that I received an invitation to one of the most opulent shows of the week, 3.1 Phillip Lim. Complete with a performance by Lissy Trullie, the designer’s show featured an incredible range of rock and roll and mod looks in which he channeled vintage 1960’s... 

In this strangest of seasons where everyone felt the pressure to reinvent themselves, and a great variety of reactions to that pressure have been on display. The designers who have been the most interesting to watch have been designers who have a fairly traditional, and therefore commercially acceptable, aesthetic. They didn’t need to change for cash but they still had to not appear insensitive.... 

While other designers’ drab and dismal collections mirrored the state of the economy right now, ADAM by Adam Lippes went against the grain and shot bursts of color right up the runway. Though the pictures don’t show it, ADAM’s collection was an ‘ode to Japanese iconography’ and chock full of colorfully vivid pieces. But ADAM didn’t solely rely on color to show off his design chops. A basic... 

From Russia with love seemed to be the common thread connecting most designers at the Mercedes Benz Fall 2009 collections. While Monarchy’s denim-based line seemed to have touches of Russian inspiration, the brand actually saddled up to a ‘Scottish equestrian’ theme. Monarchy presented a mix of rugged eastern European-influenced biker-chic with modern bohemian looks under the direction...
