I try to avoid impulse shopping by going into a store already knowing what I want/need to buy, or waiting a few days to decide if I truly want/need it. And when I can’t stop obsessing over something in my head, it becomes a must-have. Such was the case with this striped J. Crew shirt and this neon/fluoro/hot pink Celine Leather Luggage Tote. I first saw the bag online on Savannah Brinson (Lebron’s fiancee). I own an olive green/black version of the bag and love it, and pink is my favorite color so naturally I had to have it, and finally managed to track one down. The color is several...  Read More..

There are those fashion essentials you need, and there are those you simply want. And there are those that fit into both categories. I never in my life thought I’d need or want metallic gold jeans, yet they appeared on Zara.com a few months ago and suddenly I both wanted and needed them badly. Once they arrived, I wondered, “What does one wear with gold jeans?” Well, here’s the answer: What I wore: Sunglasses: Versace (gifted) (get a similar pair here), Yellow cardigan/sweater: Unknown (gifted) (buy a similar version here), Long-sleeved tee: H&M, Link necklace: Ben-Amun...  Read More..

After being spotted in Milan, Italy at Armani’s headquarters early last year, and after months of speculation, Rihanna was finally named the global ambassador for Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans last summer. Her first set of ads for Fall 2011 were both sexy and edgy – total Rihanna style. She donned a boyish blonde wig for the promos, posing atop a car in jeans and underwear and little else. We got our hands on Rihanna’s Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans campaign images for spring/summer 2012 and she’s revealing a much softer side. Gone is the blonde wig...  Read More..

According to Fashionista, Louis Vuitton is releasing their seven-piece ‘Icônes‘ (Icon) collection this December. The brand says the collection “revisits tradition to refine the rules of modern dressing…it’s the LV ABC of style.” The collection consists of classic items like a Mac trench coat, a ‘Travel kit’ jogging suit, a parka, a white perfecto vest, a red cardigan, black leather leggings and a 5-pocket jean. No word on prices yet but it’s Louis Vuitton so you can expect to pay luxury prices for these classic items. Oh, and they all look...  Read More..

When Hudson Jeans reached out and asked if What’s Haute would help spread the word about their breast cancer awareness initiative, I jumped at the chance. I have family members and close friends that have been directly affected by the disease, so supporting breast cancer research and awareness and helping to find a cure has long been a personal cause of mine. During the month of October, Hudson Jeans will donate $5 from every pair of jeans sold on Hudsonjeans.com to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. One in 8 U.S. women (approximately 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer in their...  Read More..

Karl Lagerfeld sure keeps himself busy.

WWD reports that Lagerfeld’s 100-piece women’s line will retail for $95 to $450 and will have a “street and rock ‘n’ roll flavor”. A Karl menswear line will debut Fall 2012. The collection will debut exclusively on Net-a-porter.com on Jan. 25 then will be sold on KarlLagerfeld.com starting Feb. 28. The official launch will take...  Read More..

After hearing all of the Missoni for Target online ordering horror stories and tons of tales of canceled orders, I guess I can consider myself lucky. I snagged some items from the pop-up shop in NYC on Fashion’s Night Out, plus I managed to order some more stuff when the website wasn’t crashing. This cardigan was one of my online orders and now that I have it, I wished I had ordered two. It’s so comfortable – perfect to wrap yourself in on a chilly Fall day. I already know I’m going to live in it this season. Did you score any Missoni for Target? Which items did you...  Read More..

This year, the unofficial award for best 70′s-style flared denim goes to Mother. With a name like Mother, you’d expect a line full of ‘mom jeans’, but that’s not at all what you’ll find. Launched in 2010 by Lela Tillem and Tim Kaeding (former execs at 7 for All Mankind and Citizens of Humanity), Mother had some of the hottest selling jeans (and are arguably some of the sexiest denim that debuted this year), Mother ‘The Drama’ Wide Leg Jeans. Aside from the great name, The Drama jeans were praised for their amazingly flattering and amazingly...  Read More..

Hope you all had a fab Mother’s Day! Had a great weekend with my mom and sister. We spent the Saturday shopping. Then on Mother’s Day we took our mom to a brunch at the Brooklyn Museum plus a guided tour of the Egyptian exhibit. She loved it. It was pretty much perfect weather in NYC that weekend – sunny but not too hot. I wore this sharkbite top I recently bought. It’s so comfy – I love tops that feel like you could sleep in them (but don’t look that way, of course). Pairing it with white jeans was pretty much a no-brainer. It really made the top pop!
