Pierre Hardy Paillette T-Straps: Love It or Hate It?
I have been anxiously waiting for someone to wear these tricked out Pierre Hardy Paillette T-Straps ($1,415). Behold, Rihanna did. And just the way I would — sleek black to let the disco inferno shoes do the dancing.
Trend Alert: Summer Booties
I understand wearing boots in the Summer is a geographical thing. For example, a gal in Washington DC (hot, sticky) may balk at the thought, while a chick in San Francisco (foggy, breezy) may bask in it. But I must aver the cuteness of Summer booties.
Celebrity Style: Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz stepped into the limelight at the premiere of My Sister's Keeper, wearing a stunning white asymmetrical J.Mendel dress and nude suede sandals from Pierre Hardy. The intricate origami pleats are a unique touch, and I love how the actress added a rocker vibe to her look by accessorizing with a punky black and gold Roger Vivier clutch. Chunky gold earrings and a matching ring complete her red-carpet ensemble.
Gap Reveals Its Cool, New Denim Collection
Gap is giving its denim collection a trendy makeover with the launch of its new 1969 Premium Jeans collection. The revised denim collection enlisted the help of premium denim designers to create a quality piece falling within Gap's price range of $60. Furthermore, the new collection is budget friendly and slick.
Online Sale Alert! Deep Discounts at Aloha Rag
In between Fashion Week festivities, I checked out Aloha Rag's new store in Greenwich Village. The clothes were amazing, and I couldn't help myself from noticing the beautiful sales people. I wonder if they came from Hawaii, too?
Style For Style: Back Friendly Handbags
I recently heard of a girl who complained she could no longer use her large chain-handle Chanel bag because her doctor said it's bad for her back. What a shame. You pay thousands of dollars for the purse of your dreams, and and it turns out to be a pain in the back.
The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Kate Bosworth
Looks like Lois Lane stepped out of the shadows and emerged a super fashion icon. We've been trailing Bosworth for a while now, and this varicolored sequin Chanel dress would have been enough but Bosworth pushed the envelope further with her funky Pierre Hardy shoes and aqua eyes. Is she a winner?
Trend Alert: Blanc de Blanc
Naturally, we are seeing shoes of the Blanc de Blanc persuasion, what with the weather warming and all. This includes both white and off white options. While I'm a puritan who says go white or go home, sometimes white is too stark, too bright, too cheesy.
March Shopping Madness: The Eccentrics
The eccentrics are the Björks of footwear — they never want to blend in, they are true individuals. No matter where they go, they, to their disdain, are the center of attention. You can never pin them to one particular style because they do it all and they do it loud.
On Our Radar: Gap Spring European Collection
If you're looking for an affordable collection with some serious fashion pedigree — bulls eye.
Designed with the help of Marie-Amelie Sauve, muse to Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquiere and fashion director of Vogue Paris, the newly in-stores Spring collection is full of nonchalantly chic tunic tops, shirtdresses, and baggy denim shorts.
Best of all, prices run $20-$70, with the exception of a cropped leather jacket ($358), so definitely check it out.
