Fall la la la la

It's finally holiday season, so cheers to all the social outings, cocktails and party dresses - it's the season to be chic and trendy while covered in layers of knits, leather and down. We kicked off the seasons celebrations with the Instyle and Tommy Hilfiger's "Holiday Party at the Hilfiger's" on the new Fifth Avenue store. At 4 stories, cool music and a homey, yet woodsy chic decor (the photobooth was an added bonus) everything tied together perfectly to project that certain TH vibe. 

Come on Guys

Why don't more men dress like this?!

Tis the Season

Put your best foot forward, get your foot in the door, step to it; whatever you want to do (or say) can be done better (and hotter) in these!

Born to look AMAZE

Fashion Police voted Rhi best dressed of week and I couldn't agree more.

 It's a nice change TSwift.

 Always love her style.

May I introduce...

THE DRUMS! Introduced to me by a friend, it's the kind of music you listen to on repeat while living in a hut on the beach in Costa Rica. Siggghhhh. One day.

"Let's go surfing"

Fav's of the week!

Way cool.

J. Crew has stepped it up the last few seasons, thanks to Jenna Lyons, the brand's creative director (& president). Each and every piece is not only wearable, but so stylish (and comfy) that Scott Schuman would be crazy to not snap a shot. 

Mr. Elbaz prefers the 'active' woman

The time is nearing when Lanvin reveals it's H&M line; Mr. Elbaz explains that it's wasn't Lanvin being available at lower prices that got him to do the collaboration but that H&M was rising into the luxury market. He explains...

Calling all inspiring designers!!

So you're full of all of this creativity and can't figure out a way to produce your collection? Finding a job for fashion design can be a difficult task - and starting a line on your own comes with the need for an obscene amount of dollars. Enter Garmz - a brilliant company that can help! Garmz.com allows members to submit their design ideas, people vote on the best one, and boom! you're design is now being made (at no cost to you!) and will be sold on their website. Garmz of course will allow the designer to have input on the cost of the garment being sold, and will then split the proceeds.

Even if you're not the designing type - check it out - they have these great draped black shorts on sale currently - amazing!

What a great idea!!

Track your Travels

Keep track of your travels on this poster sized You and Me (by Catworld) wall map with the included color-coded pins. Beware it's only a domestic map, so for those of you that have yet to be out of the U. S. of A. this is perfect!

Our fashionable pup

This is our temporary apartment mascot - MB, a Chihauhau mix - and she loves our designer duds!

NEED: Child for a day

Nothing serious, I just really want to play dress up with a kid so I can make them look like this. Amazing, these kids scream Fashion, don't underestimate what the little munchkins can do. This ad is from Australian label Witchery and apparently people are upset because the creatives behind this have treated these kids clothing as an adults. Really?! Get a life people, these kids probably love this and it's the most adorable campaign EVER. So there. 

Now, if I could only squeeze into these....HMMM

May I introduce Lanvin...

Mr. Elbaz sent some amazing, wearable and oh so chic pieces down the Paris runway.

He never fails me

Thank you Nicolas Ghesquiere (Balenciaga) for being so amazing and making a wearable collection.

Obsessed with the Givenchy Fall campaign!

Nice Outfit..

..is the actual meaning for "Bona Drag". The words come from a secret language called Polari, which was made up by London's gay culture in the 60's. Bonadrag.com is a super cool online shopping site you should not pass up; it showcases vintage pieces as well as trinkets from independent hard-to-find designers and the vintage looking jewelry (flair) is out of this world. A few of my fav's are this double chain ring, vertebrae and bullet necklaces. Don't miss out on these one of a kind finds!!

Simon Spurr - "luxe-o-phile"

Beautiful men and beautiful clothes - perfect way to spend a dreary Sunday morning. Simon Spurr sent exquisitely tailored suits and suit pieces down the runway. One trend that almost all looks had was the scarf - or was it a snood?? No matter - they were a great addition to the wonderful subtle sheen and soft mustard yellow and pale pink that walked down the runway.

Tommy's 25!

Tommy Hilfiger is celebrating their 25th year making American's favorite clothing. The show was classic TH - preppy. As lawn sport attire strutted down the runway in fun colors, classic and slouchy shapes and cool patterns Hilfiger has proved once again why he has been around so long. 

OH DVF

She never fails.

Fashion Week - Sweet!

Fashion Week isn't just about the fashion - it's about giving back! Fashion Night Out is the one night where stores stay open late for customers to shop and enjoy the fun atmosphere and free food and booze. It's also a great time for stores and designers to donate some of their proceeds to the New York City AIDS Fund. Besides fashion companies getting involved in this selfless act - Crumbs Bakery is jumping on the wagon as well. Crumbs created an original cupcake just for Fashion Night Out and they will be selling it all Fashion Week at all NYC locations as well as other select locations. So no worries if you weren't able to get your hands on this pink tasty treat for FNO - go grab one now - guilt free since it's for a good cause (Crumbs will donate 20% of all proceeds from their FNO cupcake)!!

Chic meet Mrs. Malandrino

Catherine Malandrino drew her inspiration from the most chic people in the world - the French. The collection was very sophisticated with a touch of edge (those thigh high shoes?!), which combined makes my perfect collection. This is definitely one of my fav's so far this season. 

Love the presentation set-up!
