You Win Some, You Lose Some…

That definitely is the case, for the current Fashion Industry. This Recession thing is definitely no joke, and it’s taking a toll on EVERYONE. From major designers cancelling their outlandish or over the top Holiday soirees their known to throw (Marc Jacobs) to major designers bowing out of showing at The Bryant Park Tents (Betsey Johnson), the economic climate is wreaking having on everyone from the top of the socio-economic structure all the way to the bottom and across industries.

Lucky for you the consumer (if you have the funds) EVERYTHING is on sale as well! In stores, Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Barney’s, and Kate Spade, just to name a few, have had sales going on for longer than usual. As well as a slew of sample sales going. Speaking of which, La Perla has one going on now until the 19th, with items going as low as up to 90% off. That’s what I call a steal.

If you ask me though, where it’s REALLY at is online. I’d say for about the last month or two I’ve been consistently getting emails anouncing sales, and several follow-ups announcing extension of those same sales! Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Ralph Lauren, ESPECIALLY J.Crew and Kenneth Cole(They have a very special place in my heart). So if you want to shop around, I’d indubitably do so online. You can stay warm and get more for less!

Happy Holiday Shopping !!!

Holiday Cheer

I know it may be just a little early but those Holiday Parties will be here before you know it, whether it is a more formal corporate company party, a gathering at a friend’s, or a big ‘ole New Year’s Bash, here are a couple of things to give you an idea of how to go. Just because it’s a Holiday party doesn’t mean you have to wear “traditional” holiday colors, so here are a few different, but still presentable ensembles.

Whatsoever is Lovely…

Rachel Roy is definitely in my Top 5 Designers. Her designs never disappoint when it comes to a neat, clean aesthetic and her clothes remind me of the old Hollywood Glamour that I love. I was going through my daily ritual of perusing through designer duds that I cannot afford(yet, lol), and saw some lovely pieces from the Spring ‘09 Collection that I most assuredly will own at least one. This is my desired collection within the Spring Collection.

Irina Corset Top(Dress), Lace Skirt(Look 1), Sasha Gown(Look 2), Julia Corset Gown(Look 3)

Marla Gown(Look 1), Hana Trench(Look 2), Hana Embroided Corset Dress(Look 3)

I personally love Ms. Roy’s own personal style & clothing line because she reminds me of myself. Her look is always refined & mature for her young age, but always appropriate. For more of the Spring Collection, as well as previous ones, go to Rachel Roy.

So, I saw these Yves Saint Laurent Tribute sandals for their Cruise Collection and I HAD to post…

PTI… Look of the Day

So, I was checking out Complex.com and found these really neat kicks. They’re produced by a company which was unbeknowst to me by the name of Pointers, which is London-bred. You can check out their other items on Pointerfootwear.com. Must say, I’m really feeling their Men’s shoes, not so much the ladies.

Taylors, $139

When I saw them I instantly thought about how good they’d look with something from Andre 3000’s newly released Benjamin Bixby line, which is currently sold at Barneys should any of you guys be interested. What do you think?

Could you see yourself in this fellas?

If you like the look, feel free to checkout Barneys for more of the Bixby line.

Look of the Day

So I came across these pics of Keyshia Cole that I just had to post, only one word that came to mind to describe her look for the night. From her simple waves to flawless make-up…Simply STUNNING. What do you think?
