You gals already know how much I adore Rachel Roy….so much so that I get flash backs of finally meeting one of my designing idols up close and personal. Such a lovely lady…let tell you! Anyway! It seems as though our favorite NYC -based designer has been globetrotting recently. Making stops in London, soaking up inspiration from every where she goes. Roy posted on twitter (last Tuesday):
“I’m excited to be working with @EstelleDarlings on a jewelry collection, which will debut in Spring 2010. –RR “
And who can resist Estelle’s clean-cut sense of style? Totally adore her! In addition to many up coming events and projects – Roy is prepping herself to the fullest degree. Especially with the nation wide launch of Rachel – Rachel Roy for Macys Department Stores slated for the next upcoming weeks, Roy already has her eyes set on opening a Pop-Up store in Soho (111 Spring …

I know I am like a day late on this…..and while everyone seems to be at a high road with Lily Allen being the new face of Chanel’s A/W ‘09 campaign ads…I’m still wondering why did Unkie Karl really have to go with Lily? For some reason I feel that this was a last call shoot. Or better yet, the Karlster needs a better staff to help shoot him some interesting names of folks who make rock things the right now. (Clearing throat)…perhaps we could use some Estelle, Zoe Kravitz, dang I’ll even take a quick glance at Lady Gaga right now. I’m saying…I loved me some Lily (circa 2006), but it’s like now her presence (like so many celebrities) lately is so irrelevant. Shoot sometimes I wonder why I even bother to pay attention to them (celebrities) in the first place. Then again I’d be out …

Oh damn, I just remembered that I’ve been seriously lacking on the sneaker front! Please….my brain has froze itself someplace between thinking about food, along with other high demanding issues that continuously plague my life. Since I’ve totally neglected my second love (food comes first) – I decided to check out one of my many favorite sites Sneaker Freaker to catch up on some sneaker news….and it lead me to think about reason why Adidas will continue to remain my third favorite brand (Nike, first with many others stuck in second place). With it’s initial SLVR collection launch early this year, Adidas set fourth on stepping back into the game with a very fashionable concept. Yet, I (personally) have yet to grasp anything the collection has to offer. If you are looking for logos plastered on everything….think again! The collection screams minimal across the board. Which is perfect for …

I’ve always had a thing for denim vests. I mean…it was the hottest thing since “sour power” candy back in the day. And still has managed to become one of those iconic staple pieces….well at least I like to think so. Yeah, we know that fashion is all based on sheer opinion…recycled trends…which can make for a boring combination if you stand around long enough to think about it. But let’s be real…the recession has everyone (including me) making due with what we already have set in our closets. Ah…no more bragging about what you’ve copped during the spur of the moment rage of spending! Who cares if your bag costs over $3,000….and who could give a damn about the next hottest trend….right? WRONG! Realistically, you can do so much even when the Dow Jones continues to kick everyone in the ass. Think “REUSABLE” always…that’s why I think everyone should …

Hey Ladies, I’ve been missing in action due to a very important behind the scenes project that I have been working on all week, hopefully it will be fully completed within the next few hours. Until then, I have a list of “Trend Filing” to catch up on. One in particular comes in the lovely form of the “Boyfriend Blazer” which has really been grabbing my attention a lot this summer. Despite the awkward temperatures that have been taking over the island of Manhattan, you wouldn’t believe how many women have been spotted working blazer jackets in the middle of the summer. And it’s just not for work attire either. Paired against cut off shorts, leggings, you name it – the boyfriend jacket has become a staple piece that might fight itself on everyone’s radar come Fall. So far, I’ve taken full view of muted hues that go perfectly with …
