When we first heard that Anna Dello Russo would be designing an ‘over-the-top accessories collection‘ for H&M, we immediately thought, “Well, this is absolutely worth lining up for. Just tell us when and where and we’ll be there, credit cards ready!” The past few H&M collaborations have had us salivating but unfortunately we missed out on Marni, skipped Versace and only snagged a few accessories from Lanvin. But this one is a can’t-miss, won’t-miss (using our Diddy voice). Anna Dello Russo is known for her over-the-top style and personality, so...  Read More..

Here’s a look at virtually everything you’ll find in Missoni X Target. This collection has A LOT to offer. Whatever you’re into (fashion, home, accessories, etc.), you’ll find something you love. We’ve pretty much got our eye on everything, from the women’s apparel and shoes, to the bags, scarves and even girl’s and baby clothing, plus that sweater for the man, home goods (how cool is it to dine on Missoni plates and wrap yourself in a Missoni throw?), the bike and, if we didn’t live in New York City and had more space – the outdoor sectional....  Read More..

I recently had the chance to get up close and personal with Nine West, to take a first look at the Spring 2010 shoes and accessories collection and chat with Creative Director, Fred Allard. I’ve been a huge fan of Nine West for as long as I can remember – the on-trend yet classic designs, the fabulous fit, and the affordable prices. There are some Nine West shoes in my closet which I’ve had for almost 15 years now and they’re still looking and feeling pretty good! Nine West creates shoes that are truly long-lasting, in terms of both the construction and durability and the...  Read More..

Don’t get me wrong, I love a gladiator. I wish I had one that worked. I spent $650 on these Giuseppe Zanotti Women’s Gladiator Sandal last year and they just never worked. They always made me feel like Big Foot when I put them on, Maybe its the size 9 I sport, or the skinny ankle/wide foot ratio I was born with. But a gladiator with a high heel, like the Sergio Rossi Momo Bis Painted Python Gladiator Sandal – that’s a different story. Now we’re talking sexy and tough, edgy and dangerous. Put these on and you will attract some very expensive attention. In...  Read More..

Dear Christian, This is just to say I won’t be involved with you anymore. This relationship has been too painful. I must admit, I tried so hard to live up to your image. But the night I wore these to my daughters wedding, they slipped off my heels as I walked her down the aisle and left me hobbling like an old lady. I almost threw them in the wishing well. It wasn’t the first time you caused me to play the fool. I wore a pair of your Very Prive‘s to the casino and almost tumbled down the escalator. Then I did some asking around and found out you have a 60 percent return rate....  Read More..

Is Madge taking a shot at Guy Ritchie? She was spotted out and about in NYC recently (shortly after divorce rumors) wearing Chanel’s “Miami Vice” Gun shoes. The shoes are from the 2009 Cruise Collection and designed by Laurence Decade for Karl Lagerfeld’s House of Chanel. These sexy stilettos feature a toy gun on the bottom so you can shoot from the heel (and not from the hip). I think they should require a permit. But whether you love ‘em or hate ‘em, shop the look at Chanel.com. Share and Enjoy  Read More → Read More..

It seems designers got together and said, “What crazy things can we slap on shoes for these crazy ladies to buy at these utterly crazy prices? How about some flying buttresses, or some gargoyles? How about some knickknacks and doodads?” And I’ve been hating all of them. I just didn’t get it. Until I saw these Miu Miu Platform Pumps. Now I understand. I’ve seen the light; Miu Miu’s most delicious shade of berry with a sculpted resin heel that will translate into real life. Not too high, not too pointy, not too crazy. Just lovely. $550, Saks Fifth Avenue Share and Enjoy ...  Read More..
