On Our Radar

Who wants Chanel? I do, I do! Well, we're in luck ladies — starting tomorrow at 11 a.m. EDT, Rue La La is holding an exclusive vintage Chanel sale in collaboration with Madison Avenue Couture. In case I'm not being clear enough, that means a bevy of barely used Chanel bags, clothes, shoes, and accessories at up to 70 percent off! But, just as Cinderella's horse-drawn carriage turned back into a pumpkin, this sale will go poof after 48 hours. Sad, but soak it up while it lasts. If you're not a member, sign up for free.

Tory Burch is no stranger to denim, but come Fall, she's going to pay special attention to it: "As we all know, denim is very much part of how our customer dresses and how we all dress, so I wanted to expand on that and create more options," she said. Denim will now become an ongoing part of the brand's 11 collection deliveries per year. Denim leggings, stretch corduroy, sailor-cuts, and even printed denim will be part of the line. "I think printed denim is really interesting and I think our prints really translate onto denim." We couldn't agree more. Look out for a full line of Tory Burch denim, retailing from $165 to $250, this Fall.

Tracy Reese has expanded her Plenty line with shoes and we couldn't be more excited. Come Fall, we can accessorize her nubby knits and gorgeous prints with complementary flats, heels, clogs, and boots. The collection, inspired by menswear, includes slick embellishments such as tassels and functional lug soles. “Plenty [shoe collection] will be more extensive than Tracy Reese,” said Reese, who also just relaunched her ecommerce site. "Tracy Reese is dressy, while Plenty will have real day shoes and more heel heights.” Plenty by Tracy Reese shoe goodies will range from $95 to $200. Not bad, eh?

The designer, who just unveiled her collection, described her shoes as "pure Toledo — playful, bold and strong," also noting the functionality component: "I’m a walker. I wanted to address that." The whimsical collection — with names such as the "Poodle Boot" and "Film Noir Bootie" — will include seven shoe styles and two handbags. We can't wait to get our hands on these cute Cuban heel tie-up sandals!

In 2009, The Gap reinvented its denim line with the re-vamp of the 1969 Premium Denim Collection. And based on what I have seen in the stores, the selection has significantly improved. For 2010, The Gap will be revamping their pant line for both men and women. The styles will range from skinny to slouchy, including seven different women's styles and three tailored men's styles. 

Here are a few more images of what's to come.

Cynthia Rowley has a jam-packed agenda these days. She's surfing with Roxy, making bridesmaids chic, and now she's adding underwear to her repertoire. SLIM by Cynthia Rowley launches this Fall and combines elements of shapewear and lingerie. Love the color combos and colorblock element.

Before the launch of her company in 1987, jewelry designer Solange Azagury-Partridge had her hands full with a personal project — designing her own engagement ring. Now, she's back at it for the rest of us, launching her first 30-piece bridal jewelry line this May.

Tough Love, with prices ranging from $1,500 to $226,000, celebrates the engagement ring as an eclectic statement piece. "You shouldn’t mess around too much with wedding rings. It’s with the engagement rings that you have more fun," she said. So, she did just that, mixing traditional elements like a diamond solitaire with sculpted hands. Another memorable piece, named Till Death Us Do Part, is a reincarnation of her classic Bones ring, but now includes a diamond in its center. Beyond cool.
