Typically Target’s GO International collections are exciting to me; I love seeing how top designers make their signature style both practical and affordable.
That being said, I am NOT impressed with Target’s latest collaboration with Jovovich-Hawk. Maybe it’s because Jovovich-Hawk are still in the infant stages of their design careers, or maybe it’s just because their GO collection itself is less-than-luxurious, –
Whatever […]

Can we just talk for a minute about Loeffler Randall?
First designer darling Jessie Randall’s dainty ballet flats and oversized totes make their mark at Target (Loeffler Randall for Target is available until March 28th) and now upscale online boutique eLUXURY has started selling the designer’s pretty and practical clothing, shoes, and handbags.
I’m all in favour of clothing and accessories […]

Forget 50s-inspired ‘chic’ (can we even call them that?) trend-followers cinching their waists with a belt so thick it wears more like a corset, wasp-waisting themselves in pencil skirts, sucking in and holding breath for shape’s sake, –
Wearing a belt for Spring/Summer 2008 is a breath of fresh air.
Forgetting past years of 4-inch and thicker standards […]

Can we just talk for a minute about how menswear is having a huge impact at Fashion Week, almost spending as much time strutting the runways as ruffles and lace for Fall/Winter 2008?
I think I’m in love.
Jens Laugesen, Margaret Howell, and Topshop are just three — to name a few — of the shows thus far at London […]

Call me classic, but while others hound Target-designer-alum Isaac Mizrahi for presenting a Fall 08 show that was both bland and boring, I absolutely adore his latest collection.
I thought it marvelous how he mixed up his mostly-neutral ready-to-wear palate with pops of pink and red, drawing a design paradox with structure and non-conformity, high-waisted skirts and free-flowing dresses, simple shapes with […]

I’ve always had an appreciation for blonde-haired beauties who have brains, too. Gwen Stefani is definitely one of those women. Balancing babies with business, styling with singing; she’s an excellent example of multi-tasking. And while I’m totally over Gwen’s L.A.M.B. collections filled with Gucci-knock-off -inspired logo canvas, banded stripes, and cinched waists, –
I do love this pair of […]

There’s nothing better during dull winter days — and nights — than giving slushy sidewalks and snowy streets some competition. My motto is, don’t let the winter weather cause you wardrobe worriment; wear whatever footwear you love!
Work open-toes with the weather by pairing them with opaque tights, and don’t be afraid to rock boots with […]

Back in 2005, he was named a designer to watch by WWD. Since then, Toronto-born designer Jay Godfrey has established rapport by dressing such celebrities as Eva Mendes, Jennifer Lopez, and Gabrielle Union. Neiman Marcus is one of three high-end department stores that retails his White Label collection.
Though several of his sheaths have caught my […]

J’Adore Dior: Fresh from my main man Dior’s spring footwear collection, these t-strap sandals are the perfect shoes for skipping into spring and summer. Like a piece of beautiful artwork, Dior’s t-strap sandals are easy to look at and full of intricate details. Made in Italy from crocodile-embossed leather, these sandals have plenty of hardware; […]

Oprah gave Toywatch a huge plug by naming it to her Favorite Things for 2007, but I definitely prefer a more timeless design like this MICHAEL Michael Kors bracelet watch to mark a stylish 2008.
Available in silver, gold, or — my personal pick — tortoise, this timepiece is all class. You’ll save squinting because the dial’s diameter measures 1 and […]

Hope:
I was wondering if you knew where to find the little black dress Tila Tequila wore on the season finale of “Shot at Love”?
Perla
Tila’s exact dress is hard to find, though I have found some alternatives that I think you’ll like.
If your budget allows, head over to eLUXURY and purchase Zac Posen’s ‘Runway Nationale’ dress. […]

How surprised was I to find Mischa Barton wearing one of Matthew Williamson’s designs and not Sienna Miller?
Very.
Leave it up to Mischa Barton to change her hair colour and her signature style; she stepped out in Matthew Williamson’s pearlescent cluster top, pairing the animal-printed silk number with a pair of wide-leg black pants.
Paired with skinny pants […]
