Retail Therapy.

Hi guys! I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything! I’m going to start a new segment called Retail Therapy and hopefully post a great ‘must have’ item every Monday!! So check it out and I hope you enjoy it! Whether you call them rompers or jumpers, they are the perfect summer piece! At all price points you can get them in solids or in flowery prints.

The It Bag.

Did You Think ‘It’ Bags Would Really Go Away?
EVER since it appeared on Style.com earlier this year, the Slash, a lambskin shoulder bag from the New York accessories label Boyy, has been a hot ticket. Stores have reordered. There’s buzz on the blogs. The fashion muse Lou Doillon has become a fan. Along with Alexander Wang’s Donna and Brenda, Jerome Dreyfuss’s Billy and Proenza Schouler’s PS1, it has become, among a set of understated fashionable women, the bag to own this season. Apparently “It” bags aren’t dead; they’ve just gotten cooler.

“It’s not about the big names anymore,” said Kris Kim of La Garçonne, a shopping site that sells (and sells out) of many of these bags. “It’s more under-the-radar now. You have to look for it.”

Up next: the Alexander Wang studded Coco bag from his fall collection. Ms. Kim already has a wait list for it.

The sporty translation of Dan and Dean make up the trendy label Dsquared²! I was browsing all the ready to wear collections from Milan and LOVED the concept of jugggling a Venti Starbucks and Blackberry in one hand while listending to your iPod. Of course the ripped jeans were killa!!!!

What I’ve come to appreciate from online media is that you can personalize how much knowledge you want to absorb. If you didn’t get a chance to attend fashion week don’t worry, I think that Style.com has really captured wonderful footage with a very intellectual take on the fabrics and the construction used in each runway show. The reality of going to these fashion shows is that most media focuses on the celebrities who really have no feedback on what is actually going on in fashion. So here is to watching fashion shows from anywhere!

 

PS you don’t have to stand in line and wait 30 minutes for the shows to start and it’s like being in the front row!!!
