If I was a buyer...

I would so order these...

Diane Von Furstenberg is just a genius when it comes to Resort wear. She really knows how to make her clothing work for a modern woman who loves to be comfortable, chic, and cultured.









Diane I'll take these four for now. You know my contact info.

Blast from the Past

My best friend Debbie is in Korea right now so I am trying to find things that bide my time. I need to make a summer to do list! It's so funny looking back at old pictures because it totally brings you back to that moment. Below are pictures of us before attending a blogger party at the Tribeca Grand Hotel.

Hope your having fun in Korea, but NY misses you! Hope everyone is having a fun summer and remembering to stay stylish!

I have the best friends in the world

I have been living on a high the last few days. My amazing friend Rebecca gave me some of her shoes while she is trying to de-clutter her closets and is in the process of moving to LES. They are absolutely stunning! Although they give me crazy blisters and a host of other problems I would die for them!

Outfit posts to come armed with these shoes..
Love you Rebecca!

Alexa/Madewell

One of my favorite people in the world...Alexa Chung is creating her own line?! When did this happen. Granted it was either her become a singer, actress, or start her own fragrance...but I wasn't expecting this yet but I guess the time is right.
But what about Madewell...maybe this is a good step for both of them.

“It was like a dream, really,” Alexa said of her first ever collaboration with the label. “I really love their brand and really like their vision and how relaxed and laid-back it is.”

The presentation, on Monday, followed this same aesthetic, casual yet lively and upbeat, thanks to the live DJ—a friend of Alexa’s—and friendly chatting between the models, Alexa, and several other guests. And it was no surprise the clothes were adorable; tea dresses, stripes, and perfectly layered cardigans and jackets all had that polished vintage feel Alexa channels so well.

As far as casting goes, and with us being model-obsessed, we were curious as to what Alexa looked for in choosing the perfect girls to represent her new line. “Well, I really like girls with long hair, because I have short hair myself, so I really just cast girls I want to be!” We observed, and yes, the majority of the girls did have long hair! But head Madewell designer Kin Lee chimed in to tell us Alexa also wanted her models to be “someone you want to walk up and talk to.”

my girl Erin...whether she likes it or not

I didn't "attend" the Erin Wasson show yesterday, like I got to pleasantly experience last season, but that doesn't mean I wasn't waiting for the collection to go up on style.com. I was jonesing for this collection. Erin has a way about her that I feel is very familiar. I can relate to her aesthetic to the t and I pride her on her music choices she seems to turn out for the second time. Booking a Brooklyn based band, Yeasayer, was what probably made this show more perfect. The only thing I'm wondering is...Why ABC Home and Furnishings?? I mean I love the store, but doesn't seem in line with Erin's vision. Seems like a basement in BK would do a much better job of sticking to her mentality of her interest in '60's and 90's style grunge.

Also notice the makeup on these models. So interesting

Brown, White, and Black

I am not usually one to love plain colors but something about the duo design team, Cushnie et Ochs, has got me smitten. They seem to have found inspiration in several different things. Sleekness probably inspired by motorcycles and fast cars. Asymmetrical adornment. Cut outs. Slouchyness. Sparkles. As you can see, there is a wide array that influences this design team. I love how they had a lot of commercial pieces that editors and buyers most likely loved. But they kept this collection fun and sexy.

Chado Chado Chado

The delicate edges and trimmings of these garments make me tingle inside. I love the mix of sheer and Fur, the unconventional usage of lines, and the sensual side that these clothes bring out. There is something really stimulating that is inherit in these clothes. Congrats Ralph Rucci. Maybe this makes up for the firing of Kelly Cutrone. But I could go either way on that issue.
