Barbie Luxe by Patricia Field LBD: Love It or Hate It?

Sex and the City wardrobe guru Patricia Field is coming out with a clothing line, "Barbie by Patricia Field."

Sex and the City wardrobe guru Patricia Field is coming out with a clothing line, "Barbie by Patricia Field." One item — the Barbie Luxe by Patricia Field LBD — was revealed at the launch party last week. Though the mannequin's hot pink hair is wild, I actually like the dress. The stretch-satin is very luxurious yet simple. Do you love it or hate it?

Trend Alert: What a Croc

Ashley Olsen has been toting around her Fendi crocodile bag for months now — it's obviously a fave.

Ashley Olsen has been toting around her Fendi crocodile bag for months now — it's obviously a fave. But really, it perfectly suits her fierce and luxe style. While I know not everyone will perk up at the idea of wearing a crocodile skin on their arm, it is a proven luxury item in today's world of fashion. For those who do like the structured, upscale material, faux versions abound. So what's it going to be: a $12,000 crocodile handbag? A $400 one? Or are you saying to yourself: What a croc?!

Sneak Peek! Kate Moss Topshop Holiday Collection

There are several things I like about Kate Moss' collection for Topshop: Kate is a true fashion icon and therefore she's got fashion cred to create her own goods.

There are several things I like about Kate Moss' collection for Topshop:

  1. Kate is a true fashion icon and therefore she's got fashion cred to create her own goods.
  2. The prices are mid-range and accessible — via the Topshop Kate Moss store.
  3. The collections keep coming! It's great, it seems each month there are new items to consider. Such is the case with her holiday collection. We gave you a taste of it via i-D magazine and here's much more!

I've got my eye on a couple New Year's-worthy frocks. Maybe I'll finally cave and treat myself to a little Kate Moss, as a Christmas present to self. Some of these items are ready for the taking so stop reading and go shop!
