Proenza Schouler's sunnies aren't due out until October/November, but one sneaky little pair - these Round Optic Sunglasses ($310) - has already debuted at La Garçonne.

I am one who normally appreciates a weirdly unique sandal, but these La Garconne Zen Sandals, $315, look like a mix between a boxing shoe and a flip flop; definitely not a pretty combination. I'll pass on these. You?

Thanks uacosj for posting the shoes in the Love It or Hate It? group.

Pretty swing coats, little silk tops, and silk ballerina flats populate the sale section over LaGarconne.com. Just how I like it: luxurious, well-cut...and more affordable.

These Maloles Georgette Eyelet Wedges, $253 (originally $362), go with everything: jeans, skirts, dresses, shorts...and they definitely will up the caliber of your outfit. I love wedges because they give you height like heels, but are so much more comfortable to walk and stand in!

Calling all Sofia Coppola and Kirsten Dunst style fans. If you prefer the slightly disheveled vintage look these gals are known for, here is the online shopping destination for you. Lagarconne.com stocks an array of indie labels that are hard to find on the web. From Loeffler Randal's slick flats to Jovovich-Hawk's feminine frocks to hard-to-find Cheap Monday jeans, this site is easy on the eyes too. The founder, Kris Kim, claims the site is catered to a girl who "is always a little boyish, hence the name, but retains her femininity and individuality." Be sure to check out their sale section too! Here's my wish list:

Designer Spotlight: Vanessa Bruno

FabSugar — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 01:22:22 -0700

Born and raised in Paris, Vanessa Bruno is the daughter of a Danish 1960's supermodel mother and a father who founded the French fashion house Emmanuelle Khan. It's no wonder the designer established her line at the mere age of 24.

Vanessa's pieces incorporate the effortless quality of Parisian fashion. As is evidenced in her Fall collection, they do not demand the spotlight and are no fashion prima donnas. Rather, they catch the eye of those unassuming fashionistas who pay attention to detail, beauty and comfort.

Shop Vanessa's collection at LaGarconne.
