Dolce & Gabbana’s Ruby Collection Heats Up Our Holiday
Edited by Amanda Gabriele
A gasp rang throughout the FashionIndie office when we opened the red satin covered box housing Dolce & Gabbana‘s Ruby Collection for Holiday 2011. Containing five crimson-hued Classic Cream Lipsticks, peach Blush and a refined smokey Eyeshadow Quad, each golden compact is adorned with a ruby to represent the fiery spirit of the collection. Inspired by Stefano’s birthstone and the 1960s Alfa Romeo Spider driven by Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate, Dolce & Gabbana talk about the collection after the jump.

Edited by Amanda Gabriele
Nothing says the holidays like candy apple red Italian patent leather in the form of a handsomely masculine evening bag. Paul Smith throws in a chain strap and lock opening for good measure and extra badass-ness. Whoever Julianne is, we want to be her.

Fabulously Functional Sleeves & Cases for the MacBook Air
Edited by Amanda Gabriele
When my 3.5-year-old MacBook crashed a few weeks ago, I was not a happy camper. The only good thing to come out of a dead battery and display is a new machine, and I am now gleefully typing from a 13″ MacBook Air. Though I am still gushing over its super skinny 2.96 pound frame and brand new Apple computer smell, I’m having trouble finding a sleeve that is both cute and fully functional. So I have thoroughly combed the Internet during this past week and found these MacBook Air sleeves and cases with the FashionIndie stamp of approval. Click through for the gallery.

DROOOOOL. That is what’s happening as we look at these Burberry Prorsum Beaded Leather Sandals, wishing the office was somewhere tropical where they so rightfully belong. Chunky black leather straps stand tall on 5.5 inches of red-orange heel while tricolor beaded strands graze the center of the foot. Can you hear the beautiful sound they make when knocking together?
