Sneak Peek! Simply Vera by Vera Wang Spring '09
I saw a commercial for Simply Vera Vera Wang last night and immediately went online to see the selection up close. The Spring line has bloomed at Kohl's and I already have a long wish list. The designer usually delivers nothing short of stellar, so I'm not shocked at her latest offerings.
I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf
On the latest episode of Gossip Girl, Blair went off the deep end, and I loved every bit of it. The Archibald's family soiree was the perfect opportunity for the Yale reject to behave badly in a body-con navy spliced dress by Herve Leger, a beige embellished Joie cardi, and patent pumps. For accessories, Blair adorned herself with a stand-out anchor pendant necklace by Urban Minx — I like how the pearls are intertwined with the gold chains.
March Shopping Madness! Stones in the Rough
Polished gems are fine and dandy, but there's something about rough stones that give off a cool, ethereal aura. These little — or large — nuggets look 100 percent organic and provide stunning contrast against tailored ensembles. This wondrous Roberto Cavalli Stone Ring ($390) has me swooning for days.
I Want This Wardrobe: Confessions of a Shopaholic, Rebecca Bloomwood
It takes a seasoned stylista like Rebecca Bloomwood to pull off this perfectly mismatched ensemble. Underneath her orange plaid Jerold cape lies a complicated yet cunning outfit. On top, Rebecca layered on a purple Danny button-down body suit with a luxurious Vince cashmere sweater.
The Look For Less: Madison Marcus Ruffle Leather Jacket
In case you haven't noticed, I have a soft spot for leather jackets. Upon perusing my collection, I noticed a lack of feminine details in my leather goods. This epiphany led me to find this beautiful Madison Marcus Universe Ruffle Leather Jacket ($572).
The Budget Shopper's Guide to Fall
I shared my 10 Fall Essentials, but now realize it was a tad insensitive to dangle gorgeously expensive items at you when the economy is dire. To make up for it, I present the budget shopper's guide to Fall. It has similar items to my original list, only cheaper versions.
Trend Alert: Finger Blinging Good
It's finger blinging good this season so go ahead and stack those rings! How, you might ask? Just revert back to childhood days when you played dress-up and stacked a ring on each finger on your hand.
On Our Radar: Avril Lavigne For Kohl's
Is Avril Lavigne more like Heidi Montag than we knew?
Heidi is launching a juniors line with Anchor Blue in April, and now Avril is launching her own junior apparel line, Abbey Dawn, for Kohl's starting in July.
Lavigne's collection will feature new pieces every 60 days, with a blended aesthetic of rock 'n' roll with a feminine edge.
On Our Radar: Machine Washable Suiting
The power suit is back: but with a new power. It's now machine-washable and with a flattering cut. For all you young professionals out there whose suits are like a uniform, take a breath of fresh air.
The Challenges for Vera & Her Kohl's Collaboration
Not too long ago we flashed the news about Vera Wang's collection for Wisconsin-based department store Kohl's - a far cry from the designer's concrete jungle of NYC. A recent article in the NY Times revealed some interesting challenges the queen of bridal couture is facing with her midmarket retail endeavor.
The most obvious concern with creating mass market collections is that it undermines their prestige amongst affluent customers.
