Vaughan Alexander's silk jersey tank, knotted cotton skirt and cotton shorts

If you love a black wardrobe, Verlaine is the collection for you. Designed by Vaughan Alexander for the global woman who’s “leaning toward the darker side,” this line boasts technique and handcrafted details. The collection is sold at Kirna Zabête in New York.

Maison Bellaish’s viscose dress

An alum of Roberto Cavalli and Gianfranco Ferré, Victor Bellaish has done time at some of Europe’s finest design houses. He launched his line Maison Bellaish in 2006, and his work is just as fine – the designs, handmade in Israel, focus on silk, lace and feathers. The collection is sold exclusive at the Maison Bellaish Atelier in New York.

Lekuin’s silk and cotton dress and tank top

If you want to be eco-friendly and not look trashy like KeSha, Leticia Garcia has the tonic. The model turned designer uses recycled fabrics for her line Lekuin, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. She describes the line as androgynous, “urban, a little bit punk but with a strong, feminine spirit.” You can snag the collection at BoutiqueToYou.com.

Sara Roka’s cotton shirtdress

After Vancouver native Sara Roka‘s 2009 capsule collection flopped, she dusted herself off and launched a shirt-centric label in 2010. Perfect for the girl with effortless style, her ruffled blouses, shoulder-baring dresses and puff-sleeved tops go above and beyond the basic white tee. Her collection is available at Gregory’s in Dallas, Nia Roma in Rome and Bugatti in Dubai.

Penumbra’s sand-washed silk blouse and sand-washed silk and cotton jersey pants

Courtney Bennett and Stephanie Giorgio don’t have design backgrounds, and maybe that’s what makes their line Penumbra so eclectic. Penumbra means “partial illumination” or “between dark and light.” Their clothes, mostly draped and cut from rayon jersey or sand-washed silk, transition well between day and night. The collection is sold at Saks.com, Intermix, Shopbop.com and Revolveclothing.com.

Joy Cioci’s silk jacket, tank and pants

Joy Cioci, fresh from her recent experience working under Tom Ford and Oliver Theyskens, is debuting her fall 2011 line at New York Fashion Week in February. Expect cool and sophisticated cocktail wear with deep-v backs and sexy silk separates. Fall’s inspiration, Cioci adds, “is the way light can embrace an object. So the colors are muted and washed out, and there’s a sense of freedom with the silhouettes and shapes.”

Irwin & Jordan’s wool and satin jacket, sequined polyamide and elastane bikini top and wool pants. Alejandro Ingelmo shoes

If you’re dreaming of white suit that doesn’t belong in Miami, designer Zoë Jordan has the classic tailoring skills to meet your expectations. Her line Irwin & Jordan is clean and feminine with a boyish edge and falls somewhere between classic and avant garde. “You’ve got Vivienne Westwood on one hand and Ralph Lauren on the other,” she says. “We sit somewhere in the middle.” The label is available at LouisBoston and Arcade Boutique in West Hollywood.

Norisol Ferrari’s deer leather jacket and lamb suede pants

Why just eat delicious game meats when you can wear them too? Native New Yorker Norisol Ferrari believes in lamb and deer leather, garments signed by the seamstress and NYC manufacturing. “I am a born and raised New Yorker,” Ferrari said. “This city made me. I feel indebted to it.” Her line of leather, suede, lamb and deer is sold in Maxfield in Los Angeles.

Revolve Clothing.com has just started to carry one of my favorite brands, Anzevino & Florence, purveyors of LA-based streetwear that’s both clever and modern.

So far, Revolve is stocking A&F’s flouncy sheer dresses and sequined racerback tanks, but the brand also includes plenty of t-shirts and hoodies with their own playful approach to streetwear.  They are the perfect pieces to take from day to night, and this cropped sequined top is no exception.

 Pair it with a high-waisted shirt or shorts, like the model has done, and I think you could get away with it in daylight hours if it’s worn with flats and minimal or zero jewelry.

Crop tops are officially back, people, so you’re going to have to get those abs in shape!

Going to Disney World for a high school class trip was a bit depressing for me. Park employees had to wear hot, suffocating costumes in 95 degree weather, and the gift shops pandered sweatshop-made trinkets. Disney Couture Jewelry has allowed us to indulge our childhood fantasies without looking or feeling like a cheap, theme park replica.

I like these safety pin earrings because they are punky but still fun, and would lend an unexpected touch to cocktail attire or add an edge to jeans and a tee shirt. The necklace features winsome charms are well as industrial looking gears and bolts.  Besides these gems, the Disney Couture Jewelry spring collection features a Pocahontas feather wrap bracelet ($59), a Princess & The Frog gold chain bracelet that looks like an updated friendship bracelet ($114), and  the giant gold Lotus Flower ring ($69).

You can browse the collection and purchase the aforementioned items at RevolveClothing.com.

Get it all while you can (and while it’s cheap).

One of my favorite online boutiques, RevolveClothing.com, has an ongoing sale for spring going on, with items up to 80% off. It’s a great excuse to stock up on tanks, tees and flirty dresses for the warm weather that is hopefully coming soon.

There’s some Brixton fedoras, Insight plaid button-ups, Lindsay Lohan’s 6126 leggings, punky jewelry and adorable Charlotte Ronson separates. Get em’ while you can!

M8 classic saddle shoe via Opening Ceremony; $345

Ahh yes, for the longest time the saddle shoe was the dreaded shoe for all private school and country club attending children, but alas it has made its way back into the forefront of the fashion world. I’m in love with this stylish shoe, and it goes great with no socks and a nice pair of shorts. The shoes aren’t easy to find though. That however could be good news for all you people looking to jump on a trend before it gets out of the gates. I was able to find two pairs, but struck out at a lot of the bigger fashion shopping sites. Hopefully you have better luck then I did, but I am plenty pleased with these Opening Ceremonys.

F Troupe Canvas Saddle Shoe in Beige via Revolve; $101 (multiple colorways available)

Need a cheap alternative? My best options would be thrift stores of course, or even Ebay. Expect to see more hitting shelves as the trend gets a bit bigger. I’m personally on the hunt for the classic black/navy and white ones!

Thanks Oak and Revolve.

A few weeks ago we introduced you to an amazing new online store from Revolve called Forward. Well Forward has decided to take it back to the good old days by offering some really cool vintage clothes from really cool vintage brands. Forward is hosting vintage gear from designers like YSL, Pucci, Burberry and Oscar de la Renta. Head over to Forward and check it out.

Howe Double Breasted Trench $224

Rag & Bone Trench $293

Ok well the images don’t really fit what I’m trying to spark here mostly because I’m pretty sure my idea doesn’t exist yet. So please use the images above to reference what I am trying to say here. I am a huge fan of the trench coat for both men and women, but with the length and amount of your body that it covers it can easily become too much of one color. So I thought of an awesome way to solve that problem, switch the belt with a different colored one from a different trench coat. If you break up your black trench with a tan belt you have an amazing look that will change the way you rock your coat. It’s just like wearing a different colored belt with your pants. I’m looking forward to more people wearing this trend, I will be in the city hunting for mine this weekend. What do you think indies, would you rock the different colored trench belt?

Thanks to Revolve for the pictures.

A favorite online shopping destination of mine has recently launched a sister site that I couldn’t be more excited about. Revolve Clothing has officially launched Forward, which is an online shopping destination for the fashion forward shopper. I love the concept of this site, and you can bet that it is already saved on my bookmarks.

Be sure to head over to Forward to check out the awesome designers they are offering.

I’m going to go ahead and say that 99% of women out there would rather be t-bagged than be caught dead in a T-Bag garment. T-bag’s down right hideous attempt at “vintage” leaves me with the disgusting image of a granola-filled pile of hippie vomit. With a price tag in the $250 range, Helen Keller could have made a better dress out of a thrift store couch from the 60′s. Not even the overnight trash that Kenley from Project Runway makes week after week is this bad. For all of you so called “vintage” kids out there, THIS IS NOT VINTAGE! Get off your lazy ass and go vintage hunting and get the real deal. If you are one of those label hunting douchebags of the world, and you would die for one of these dresses: may God have mercy on your soul!

Thanks but no thanks to Revolve Clothing for the pictures. If their buyer was smart they would cancel all orders from T-Bags just to save their reputation.
