Real Women Wear Jeans: Kardashian "Kollection" Launches A Denim Collection /

The Kardashian sisters will soon launch a new "kollection" of denim that will be tailored to any woman's body shape.

                                          "The Kim" is a sexy curvy low rise straight leg

"The Khloe" is a tall curvy high rise boot-cut

                                           "The Kourtney" is a slim fit low rise skinny leg
Because I'm not a fan of Sears nor any of the merchandise they carry, I won't be checking out the collection. But, if I had to choose a pair out of the three, I'd go with the pair named after the most fashionable sister (my favorite Kardashian), "The Kourtney!" I like the wash of the denim, but-- I'll pass! I'll toast to their continued success, though!

Next Up: Jason Wu for Target /

 
We've seen collaborative collections from Target feature luxury designers like lsaac Mizrahi, Missoni and Zac Posen, but soon we'll be adding Jason Wu to that list! The 29-year-old designer, who is known for his fresh line and crafty detailed designs, was highlighted back in 2008 when first lady Michelle Obama wore his famed silk chiffon, ivory gown at the inaugural ball. Wu decided to launch this 53-piece collection of women's wear and accessories for Target, all under $60 (he can't be serious). And by the look of the collection, each piece is right on with the spring trends--sheer blouses, stripes and patterns. I'll be sure to swing past Target on February 5 to check out the collection for myself!

Victoria's Secret Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio Struts at 5 Mos. Prego /

Nothing can stop Alessandra Ambrosio from hitting the runway, not even her five-month old baby bump. The very popular Victoria's Secret angel ( from Brazil)  stole the show this past Sunday while on the runway for Colcci's Fall 2012 collection at Sao Paulo Fashion Week.


Colcci, a Brazillian fashion company, had an amazing collection! I watched the video about 10 times in order to get a full look at the entire collection. Here, Ambrosio sported a variety of looks but my personal fav was the opening number: the knit sweater, leather trim shorts & pumps! Simply Effortless! The red lip was the perfect compliment to her sun-kissed glow. She stole the show with that opening strut! Check out the video from the runway show below:

"Karl" by Karl Lagerfeld Launches Tomorrow 1.25.2012 /

Last month, we announced that Karl Lagerfeld, the fashion genius, will be launching a new & affordable line called, Karl. Well the time is NOW!  The Karl Collection will launch tomorrow, January 25 on Net-a-Porter. Anyhow, we can expect the 100-piece collection to feature both evening and daywear  in a selection of  jersey dresses, t-shirts, shoes, handbags, accessories as well as denim,  all decorated with a little touch of  Lagerfeld. See the video below for a mini-preview of what you can expect from the collection.


I'm excited to see what the line will look like! I've particularly been eye-balling the metallic blazer and jacket shown in the video, which is rumored to be priced at $360 (not bad). And I love the gloves and neck pieces, those look the bomb! Yep, I'm pretty sure this line will sell out fast! His most recent line was at Macy's last August and I looked everywhere for this one top pictured below. I love the collar, the color and the sheer! I'm secretly hoping that the Karl Collection will  include a similar top. *Crosses Fingers*

Versace Couture Showed Up & Showed Out at Paris Fashion Week SS 2012 /


Versace has been missing- in- action on the haute couture scene since 2004, ( that sounds like forever right?). But, Donatella has come back strong this year. I figured Donatella wanted to show she still had the "couture touch," especially since her high-end fashions have been made affordable with her low-end  H&M collaboration.

 I can see why she thought it was time to show the world that Versace was still couture! I get it, she hasn't traded in high-end luxury for low-end fashions.
This collection (amongst endless others) proves why she is, was , and will remain the bomb!

The Versace Spring/Summer 2012 couture collection is a small collection of 15 looks, but needless to say, each piece is eye-catching in its own right.
The dresses were bold & bright, beautifully structured, beaded, embroidered, and in some cases even gold plated.

Describing this collection takes just three syllables:
A-MA-ZING!

I love
EVERYTHING!

Frigid Fashions ( Winter Trends) /

 Yesterday, while out shopping in Georgetown (in 32 degree weather), I noticed that the people out shopping weren't bundled up in ugly, frumpy coats; instead many looked amazing in cozy sweaters, long chic coats, layered looks and fur collars. Just in case you haven’t had a chance to witness any wonderful street style, thought I’d bring the frigid fashions to you! Here are a few frigid fashion trends happening this winter!

 Sneaker Chic: Love how she grouped her Isabel Marant sneakers w/ fur vest, leather jacket & Ray  Ban sunglasses


   Accent Accesories: She played on her scarf & turban to give this look a sense of personal style


                                                       Layered Look



                      Touch of Fur: A hint of fur will add luxury to any look. Love the red lip.

Herve Leger by Max Azria Pre-Fall 2012 ( More Gladiator) /


This upcoming Pre-Fall 2012, we can expect Herve Leger by Maz Azria’s collection to include more signature bandage body-con dresses (as usual), but be sure to adhere to the playful stripes, hues, harnesses and even drape-like trains. The gladiator theme seems to be the common denominator this year for Leger, which was also present SS 2012 as well. ( see bottom)









I find the harnesses a bit "different", but the gold one I love! They complete the overall look of the collection, taking it from boring to bomb! This gladiator sandal is also the perfect accessory for a “thin”woman say 5’4, giving the illusion of longer legs and an elongated torso. Love what appears to be the one piece playsuit (I’m guessing) & sunset color dress. I’d take both of those! Very Nice!





 Here are a few looks from Spring/Summer 2012!
 What an AMAZING COLLECTION!

Stylist Emily B ( Fabolous' Baby Mother) Shows Off Her Sick Amount of Louboutins /


The VH1 Love and Hip Hop star shows off her expensive Louboutin collection in the latest issue of PYNK Magazine. In the issue, she talks about her passion for shoes--the most expensive pair she owns cost her a whopping five stacks ($5000). In the article she also make the point that every girl needs a great black pump in her closet. We're excited to hear that she’s starting a clothing line called Emily B. She says we can expect it to be feminine, chic, trendy and of course, affordable. We love how Emily is coming out from beneath the shadow of Fabolous and  is no longer being recognized as just his baby's momma.
Toast to Emily! She really is a beautiful girl and Lord knows it’s nothing like a woman with entrepreneurial aspirations. We look forward to her new line. You Go Ms. Emily!

Video: Marni x H&M will feature Spring 2012 /



Now that the hype has died down about Versace x H&M, get your adrenaline pumping once more for the Spring 2012 collection of Marni. In case you are not familiar with the line, Marni is an Italian fashion label, headed by Consuelo Castiglioni. It is sold at Barney's New York, Neiman Marcus and other luxury retailers (typically $1,000 + per piece). The brand is well known for its quirky colors, styles, prints and fabrics. According to Women's Wear Daily, the collection will be sold in over 260 H&M stores and online. I would imagine that the collection for H&M will be sold several hundred dollars less than regular price items. [I’m also certain the site will crash like Missoni's collection for Target]






Marni x H&M is said to hit stores on March 8th, 2012 . I’m loving the statement jewelry in the collection, very tribal-esque! Check out the video below to get a sneak peek of what you can expect this spring.
