Beyonce Hearts Chanel

Beyonce has been rocking Chanel hard lately, I'm not mad she's killing it.

In Manhattan yesterday Chanel jacket broch and necklaces

At the 40/40 after the Jay Z/Mary J MSG concert last week Chanel head to toe, belt and necklaces

Fall 2008 Preview - Part 1

The temperature hit 20 degrees this week in NY. As we are just now heading into Winter, some of our New York Designers are already showing previews of there Fall 2008 lines. Here are a few trends I noticed early on. Let's watch and see if they carry into the shows in February.

The New Suit
Suiting continues to be a tough business for most retailers who are in the career business. The new way to wear a suit is to mix and match jackets, pants and underpinnings.


Burberry puts a skinny belt on a matte jacket and paired it with a satin wide leg pant. It is styled with gloves and a scarf.


DVF has an idea how about we kill the jacket and wear a vest over a printed long sleeve knit. I like that idea!

Printed Gowns
Evening wear gets very interesting this fall. Take a look at these printed frocks.


Carolina Hererra printed v neck gown with jewel embellishment. (I guess bling is still relevant.)


Badgley Mishka leopard print gown.

Pretty in Plaid
Not just for picnics plaid remains an important piece to differentiate your outerwear.


Red plaid car coat from Chanel


Plaid Trench from Bill Blass

Holiday Style - Work and Play

What are you wearing to the christmas party? Living and working in New York, deadlines have to be made before the city shuts down for the end of year Holiday season. So how do you make the impact you want at the Holiday party when there is no time to stop at your apartment and get changed?



Take this dress by Madison Marcus www.shopbop.com. By day this can double as a tunic that you can pair with a pair of skinny pants below by Theory www.saks.com and a cropped jacket www.barneys.com. (you can find the same look for less at H&M or Forever21) When the clock strikes 5, you can pull of the pant and the jacket, add a clutch, and you're ready to party. Just in time for the festivities.

MIXED BAG

Mixing and matching is an art. An artform that can be scary done wrong. Here are a few that were done right. Christian Lacroix who is one of the runway masters that is known for pushing the envelope. He mixed metallic and geometric shapes with a large watercolor floral. D&G did an amazing job of mixing animals with dots and florals. It was done in a way that looks like one cohesive print. Anna Sui mixed more of an menswear feel of patterns. There's checks and dots, it reminds of of a funky Alice in Wonderland.
