Fab Site

Fab Site: Rose and Radish

Here is what I would call a gift online shop with an interesting selection of smartly designed items for home and kids.

Here is what I would call a gift online shop with an interesting selection of smartly designed items for home and kids. Rose and Radish call themselves "a home for design" and this site definitely feels homey. Or rather, a minimal Scandinavian style home - which is exactly the look and feel of the site. Minimal, nature inspired designs reign the unique goods here and be sure to check out their Be My Valentine section for original gift ideas. Here is one piece of (cheap!) art I think is adorable for a Valentine who is a BFF.

Camilla Engman My Friends Print, $36.

Look of The Day: Sophisticate in London

Here is an anonymous woman we can all emulate.

Here is an anonymous woman we can all emulate. One of my friends was in London recently and shot some street styles for me. This Sophisticate in London is posted in the Overseas Fashionistas Look Book. I love her tailored black coat, perfectly manicured red nails, and sharp black boots with brown trim, that are slightly western style.

She is today's Look Book Look of the Day!

Trend Alert

Trend Alert: Sequin Trim

The holidays are over, but that doesn't mean all your fun party clothes should retire.

The holidays are over, but that doesn't mean all your fun party clothes should retire. A great way to add some instant glam to any look is with a little sequin trim. Available in mostly neutrals - to tone down the glitz - these items make an ordinary top or dress a little more special. Most of these say winter to me, but the fun espadrilles bring the razzle dazzle poolside. Are you a sequinaholic? Check out my earlier posts on sequins. Here are my designer and non-designer choices.

Velvet Maxine Sequined Chiffon Sleeveless Top in White, on sale for $49 (originally $140), only available in Small.


Trixxi Silver Goddess Dress, $46.50.


Glam Souls Metal Sequin Belt/Sash, on sale for $67.65 (originally $123).

Come Fab Finding With Me: Reader Request! Hot Shoes

Once in a while we get a reader request that presents itself as a perfect Fab Finding mission.

Once in a while we get a reader request that presents itself as a perfect Fab Finding mission. I had a reader write in saying she recently purchased this Arden B Keyhole Sash Tunic Top, in light silver, $68. She plans to wear it as a minidress for a night of dinner and dancing. She is looking for a fab pair of shoes to wear with this cute little keyhole number. Her requirements: the shoes must be under $200 and high heels are a must, since she is petite. I know how much you all love to Fab Find for shoes so let's go crazy!

Let's all go Fab Finding to find some perfect shoes for your fellow reader. Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with matching shoes.

Katie Holmes

Roger Vivier Smokin' Hot Sunglasses

Last season, the must have sunglasses were hands down, Tom Ford's Whitney and Jennifer shades.

Last season, the must have sunglasses were hands down, Tom Ford's Whitney and Jennifer shades. Although Mr. Ford is still creating cool, it appears he's got himself a dose of healthy competition.

Roger Vivier, once solely known as a shoe guru (no pun intended) has expanded into sunglasses. This new oversized frame is flying off the shelves and no wonder. When you have celebs such as Katie Holmes, Sandra Bullock, and Jessica Alba sporting them, they are bound to become instant hits!

So prepare yourself and buckle up for take off. These plastic frame and gold buckle sunglasses are selling out at warp speed. Oh, and I hope you've saved some moolah since stylin' like a star doesn't come cheap. They are $445 a pair and although they are not currently available for purchase online, they can be bought by calling Saks at 212-753-4000. Available in black, white, red and tortoise.

Jean Paul Gaultier Printed Slip Dress: Love It Or Hate It?

I had a roommate in college who adored Jean Paul Gaultier's mesh tops.

I had a roommate in college who adored Jean Paul Gaultier's mesh tops. He is a bolt of the exotic and whenever I see his designs I think of her (tear). But his unique creations certainly aren't for everyone. RCLdesigngirl posted this in the Love It or Hate It? group and I was wondering what you all thought. I think it is divine. The mesh cut out back is super sexy, and the print adds character to a simple design. Thoughts?
