Dior, Not War.
I hope you enjoyed the free booze and food, as well as the celebrity appearances, crowded street, long lines and discounts, because Anna Wintour and Mayor Bloomberg recently confirmed that another Fashion’s Night Out is in our midst. Call me crazy, but I saw little to no people walking around
Canadian model Jessica Stam is the poster girl for H&M’s Fall 2009 ad-campaign. Photographed by Andreas Sjödin, Stam embodies nearly every look of the basics label.
I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who wondered why the Olsen twins decided to name their JCPenney line “Olsenboye,” and thanks to the help of NY Mag, we now know that “Olsenboye” is Mary Kate and Ashley’s Norwegian ancestral name. There you have it, another question answered!
Thanks NY Mag!

The merchandise at Oak keeps getting better and better, and just in comes this awesome black asymmetric studded skirt! Honestly, what’s better than leather (ok, it’s faux leather…but that’s besides the point), studs and zippers?

Tell me, what could be better than scoring 15% off all Rag & Bone purchases at the Zoë DUMBO location boutique? Hmm, well probably the fact that you’ll not only save money, but you’ll get to meet Rag & Bone’s own Marcus Wainright and David Neville, enter to win some
As per usual, Elle’s style editor and my idol, Kate Lanphear, was photographed looking absolutely kick ass!

I saw these awesome gold plated staples on Like Cool and it hit me- office supplies can make for awesome accessories and outfit embellishments. For those of you who are into studs, a stapler is a cheap and unique alternative to a bedazzling grommet gun, and seeing how easy they are
The fact that I somehow forgot to post Jil Sander’s Spring 2010 collection earlier is inexcusable, but look on the bright side, we’re that much closer to the gauze and linen goodness in store this spring! Overall, the line is relatively natural, encompassing earthy tones of beige and other basics.
I’ve been a sucker for vests and fur recently, so it goes without saying that Oak’s black fur panel sleeveless wrap has the best of both worlds. I love how the shearling dresses up this slouchy and tattered cotton wrap, making it an easy staple for both dressy and casual
I’m a bit of a metal fiend, so when I saw this clever thimble inspired All Saints ring, I simply had to share it! Made from oxidized metal and zinc, the ring is a nice bold piece that easily balances out the typically delicate women’s jewelry! Great ring, even better
They might not be quite as enthralling as past seasons, but Alexander Wang’s Resort 2010 footwear collection still has me drooling a little bit! Carrying his distinct, protruding heel into the future, Wang has a pair of desert-boot oxfords, suede, gladiator heels and leather, riveted gladiators in store for us.
Thanks to Soomi Park, having “eyes that light up a room” aren’t so farfetched anymore. These awesome LED light eyelashes are a total must have for those eyelash fiends out there! These clever little accessories house their tilt sensor and other electronics in a pair of discreet headphones.

These awesome linen Horace trousers might not look like anything special, but they have clever leg straps that leans towards every girl’s dream: men in bondage. Only kidding. But really, these pants have cool strap detailing that connects from the front belt loops to the back belt loops and looks
The oxford trend is getting a bit exhausted, but there’s no denying that we’re still on the hunt for an androgynous pair of flat shoes to heighten our wardrobes. These textured leather, Rachel Comey oxford-style shoes are a clever alternative to the preppy dress shoe, catering to the sleeker crowd.
