Online Sale Alert! Up To 60% Off at Aloha Rag

It's not often that you find relatively new designer goods at low prices.

It's not often that you find relatively new designer goods at low prices. Aloha Rag's sale is one of those rare times so bust out your plastic and stake your claim.

I'm seriously considering getting this Phillip Lim Pleat Back Dress, $300 (originally $750), because it is unique and that color is to die for. In the world of designer fashion, 300 bucks for a gorgeous dress is not bad. Just think about it: won't the money be worth it when I walk into the fantastic party and make every single head spin? I think so!

If you're not in the market for a dress, there's plenty of shoes, bags, jeans, top, skirts and jewels so there's no excuse not to take a peek.

Fab Ad: Valentino Fall/Winter 2007

Mr. Garavani appointed quite the triumvirate for his Fall ad representation: Gemma Ward, Daria Werbowy, and Hilary Rhoda.

Mr. Garavani appointed quite the triumvirate for his Fall ad representation: Gemma Ward, Daria Werbowy, and Hilary Rhoda. The girls are lookin' good in Va-Va's trademark red dresses and matching red lipstick. Just look at those swooning poses and smoky eyes - there is some serious drama going on here! As the last ad campaign under the now retired designer's direction, I'd say this is the perfect ode to the glamorous Italian fashion house.

In closing, I love how the light is coming through blinds: does anyone else see American Gigolo meets Robert Palmer here?

Definition: Ikat

Ikat Ancient and unusual process of resist printing.

Ikat

Ancient and unusual process of resist printing. Warp yarns on a loom are covered with a resist material such as wax or clay, in areas of the design that the weaver does not desire the dye to absorb. The warp yarns are then dyed, the resist is removed, and the filling yarns are woven in. Finished fabric has shimmering, and indistinct, beautiful pattern.

Throw some ikat in your wardrobe with this Plenty by Tracy Reese Print Halter Dress, $215.

This trend doesn't stop at clothing. See CasaSugar for ikat for the home.

The Look For Less: Diane Kruger's Orange 3.1 Phillip Lim Dress

Fab favorite Diane Kruger wore 3.1 Phillip Lim's Spring 2008 orange dress to the GQ 50th Anniversary Party in NYC last week.

Fab favorite Diane Kruger wore 3.1 Phillip Lim's Spring 2008 orange dress to the GQ 50th Anniversary Party in NYC last week. As usual, she looked gorgeous and fashion forward (except I'm sorry, I wasn't really feeling the tassle necklace here). She sort of reminded me of Chloe Sevigny in her orange Prada dress. For all of you who also loved Diane's orange number, there's a similar and less pricey version out there.
