Best Luggage to Roll With

Jessica Lapidos — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:30:05 +0000

The sea of standard black suitcases streaming off the baggage claim not only is a confusing playland of lose-your-luggage, but it’s also super boring to watch. Give yourself a lift at the airport, and get a bag that jumps (and glides as if on ice). However, if you’re going to go black, at least go Jimmy Choo croc.

Vibrantly colored denim has been around for more than a few seasons now, and it has a very special place in our tiny NYC closets month after month. Summer’s colored denim was a mix of electric brights and muted pastels, and fall’s palette is just as diverse. Deep plums and reds stand beside hot pink and cobalt blue in lookbooks across the spectrum, giving us endless opportunities to jazz-up our cooler month wardrobes. Check out our fall colored denim roundup and tell us which pair is your favorite.

Sam Edelman Brings His New Purse to Studio 54

Jessica Lapidos — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 13:24:48 +0000

I still remember my first pair of Sam Edelmans – ivory ballet flats, gold chain links, toe cleavage – at the very start of the ballerina shoe explosion. At point of purchase, I thought Sam Edelman was a woman, was surprised to find out he used to be the Sam in Sam and Libby. Point is, Sam Edelman has blossomed into a hit shoemaker since its inception in 2004, and rather than resting on his laurels, he’ll be resting on our shoulders as the brand extends to handbags. Will I remember my first Edelman bag like I do the shoes? Seeing as the inspirations behind the different facets of the collection are Studio 54 and Parisian streets, it seems quite likely.

Discoteque means cheetahs on chains and colors in the clutch. It also means little nibblies inside not meant for the eyes of authority, just you, Liza and Jerry in a bathroom stall.

Now see what ensues when Sam Edelman goes expat.

Eight Young Designers to Watch Before They Get Huge

Amanda Gabriele — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 18:34:33 +0000

Showing up to the party in the same dress as someone else getting you down? Stop seeing double and explore these eight talented designers for looks that will have you standing out like a true indie.

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.

What to Wear When Dating a Twihard?

Carly Spindel — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 13:46:47 +0000

Everyone has a fetish. With the new release of Eclipse, the Twilight fetish is taking over. Everything vampire themed is suddenly very popular. If you go on a date with a Twilight lover, known as a “Twihard,” choosing an outfit might be difficult. Lucky for you, I’m here to help.

First and foremost, vampires are very classic dressers. This means that your Twihard most likely won’t appreciate the newest Hervé Léger dress. He’s probably going to want you to dress like a character in the movie to make his fantasy become a reality.

The Pants

To impress your Twihard, I recommend wearing jeans. They’re simple and safe. Not only are they comfortable, but everyone wears jeans. Even Bella. My favorite brand of jeans is J Brand. Their jeans are flattering and are pretty reasonably priced.

$159 at Shopbop

If you wear these jeans, your Twihard is sure to be va-va-voomed!

The Top

A tank-top works well with jeans and is sure to be appreciated by your Twihard. This Alexander Wang tank top is my newest favorite. It’s plain, but is accentuated with leather. It isn’t something that Bella would wear, but it’s a little more exciting. In my opinion, leather is uber sexy. Besides, who doesn’t love a little leather every so often?

$375 at Shopbop.

The Shoes

If you want to really channel Bella, leave your heels at home and buy a pair of sneakers. I like this pair by Alice + Olivia. Not only are they sparkly so you don’t feel like a complete fashion dud, but they’re also cheap! How can you beat that?

$88 at Shopbop

So, now that you know what to wear to impress your Twihard, get out there and go shopping. The worst thing that can happen will be he’ll turn out to be a complete freak. But at least you’ll have a few new items to spice up your wardrobe!

SHOP IT: Torn by Ronny Kobo Lou Tribal Row Dress, $183

Saynt — Thu, 13 May 2010 14:30:46 +0000

Shopbop has just gotten some exclusives from Torn by Ronny Kobo {BUY NOW} and one of the dresses is a definitely must.

After finding that I don’t actually own a solid yellow piece; I feel the need to brighten my wardrobe with this fabulous spring and summer color. The idea was sparked by a movie that I watched last night, during which one of the main female characters carried a yellow duffle bag throughout and it looked good, even when she changed outfits.

I love the way that a dark blue rinse jean, or the color gray looks with a yellow top. While I will be searching for tops, I would also like to have a maxi, shoes and a great looking bag. While I like black shoes with a yellow dress, I would prefer something a bit more muted, such as some of those in this feature. Taupe, tan or even an metallic would work well. Black can sometimes be a bit overwhelming, since yellow is such a “soft” color. If the choice were black, I’d go for a strappy sandal that wouldn’t overpower.

Military Style for Less

Missa Stumpf, TrendSpotter/ Designer — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:46:00 +0000

Model Agyness Deyn recently paid tribute to the late Michael Jackson in Harper’s Bazaar by sporting a military jacket in the same infamous style that he himself once wore. Other celebrities like Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have been spotted wearing this military-look as well, making it a must-have item. There’s no better way to relive that same style yourself than to rock the look this season.

We’ve seen so many different takes on the military jacket this fall, from embellished to more classic, that you’re sure to find one that fits your unique taste.

TREND SPARK: Biker Shorts

Monique Montagnese, Contributor — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 16:29:07 +0000

Rihanna was rocking biker shorts clubbing last night out in London. Ok, Rihanna is a trend setter but I’m not sure how I feel about this 80′s throw-back. First of all I think her styling if off here, maybe peeking out of a lace dress or under some ripped and rolled jean shorts would work better. If you think you can pull this off, head to Shopbop. For $98 you can also incorporate the cut out trend into your 80′s inspired look.

Part gladiator sandal. Part leather booties. Part wedge heels. Part biker boots. Mix it all together and you’ve got yourself these amazing Mike & Chris Fabian Multi Strap Bootie Sandals. They are casual enough to complete a Mary-Kate Olsen-esque outfit, yet dressy enough to be worn well into the night. Also, I’m totally loving the the stitching and hardware. Comparatively speaking, these bootie heels are pretty decently priced, setting you back just under $400 rather than $1000′s, like other shoe designers continue to get away with.

Can Rainboots Be Chic?

Saynt — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 20:57:56 +0000

I just spotted these shoes at Shopbop.com from Pour La Victoire. I can’t really tell if they are made to be rain boots if they just happen to look like a pair.

Either way, are they IN worthy or a complete waste of leather?

SHOP: Marc Jacobs Satteen Dress, $119

Saynt — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 20:49:12 +0000

List this amongst little black dresses with attitude. I love this look. It’s a mix of dom female with punk attitude. Call it an alternative to picking up a head to toe A.Wang look.

STYLING TIP: Take this dress, mix it up with a pair of killer black Doc Martens, a gray flopping knit hat, and some huge gold bangles and hoop earrings and you’ve got yourself a street ruler look that would get you snapped by any Satorialist you could imagine. You could also glam it up, throwing in a pair of sky high red stilletos, a tuxedo jacket with matching piping, and some slicked back hair with a side part and your comparable to any high fashionista.

Really Alexander Wang?!

Lauren Garroni — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 14:43:36 +0000

So this past week I was making my Fall shopping wishlist and I came across these Alexander Wang denim shorts. I know Alexander Wang is the designer of the moment and can do no wrong, but almost $300 for denim shorts?! REALLY!

Okay the whole designer, distressed look is a personal-fashion-pet-peeve of mine. Why spend a crazy amount of money on something you can get at a thrift store for $3? This is why I can’t really understand Alexander Wang as a designer. It looks like luxe Urban Outfitters clothing. Kurt Cobain must be rolling around in his grave.

All I have to say is I’m so over it!

Only Hearts Brings The Sexy

Lauren Garroni — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 16:46:10 +0000

Only Hearts is a cute boutique in NOHO specializing in sexy-understated undergarments. And as Tim Gunn says ‘Undergarments are the foundation of any outfit.’ If you can’t make it down to their boutique, Shopbop is now offering their stuff. Here are my favorites:

Flower Power “Vintage” Top

Lauren Garroni — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:29:00 +0000

If you want that vintage look without the fuss, this shirt by 291 is for you. This ‘Flower-Child’ shirt is better than the tees you would find at Urban Outfitters! The shirt is already soft, to give you that worn-in feel. And with that cool graphic, who can resist?

Rain Chic

Lauren Garroni — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 19:23:10 +0000

Since most of the country is dealing with rain for the foreseeable future, I thought I would post some cute rain-boots. The only thing worse than having no rain-boots is having bad rain-boots! Just wear these over a pair of leggings or skinny jeans and you’ll be summer-rain-chic! And at a sale price $39.99, who can resist?!
