The unique amount of booties and shoes they have is amazing and all their shoes are trendy and can be warn with anything.

Herff Christiansen

I just love this dress.


The two masterminds behind this incredible collection is Mary Herff and Randi Christiansen. These two designers have created avant garde garments using only T-shirt fabric! They've made wraps, tanks, shirts, and dresses and all their garments are eye catching. These garments can increase and decrease the body size depending on how you place them and with what accessories you pair them with.

Alejandro 'SkyHigh' Inglemo



Shoemaker Alejandro Ingelmo makes sky high heels that are for the daring. So if your the type of girl that loves to catch people's eyes then these are the heels for you. As of late his shoes could be found only at Bergdorf and Goodman, but now he is opening his own stand- alone shop in SoHo, New York and word is he may also design an exclusive women's sneaker collection so be ready my fellow fashionistas!



British



It seems to me London is beginning to lead the way in fashion again! During the 1900s they were amazingly ahead of everyone else and now their climbing there way back to the top. One designer I have notice is British Fashion designer Lulu Guiness who has designed the ultimate accessory.... a lip shaped clutch! The clutch is edgy yet chic and sexy and it is very "eye- catchy". This accessory should be on everyones list!
P.S. Another cute item to add to your list is a pair of Doc Martens by Lulu Guiness, they are just adorable!



Pharrell and Women's Wear?


Pharell Williams, the designer for the Billionaire Boys Club, is looking into designing women's clothing? No.... people he is not. The facts of the matter is that he ordered a capelet a couple sizes too small for his male models, but it fit on a female model a lot better therefore he just made it a single woman peice, but as of right now Pharell isn't looking to design any women apparel just yet.



Swarovski


Rebecca Taylor's limited edition crystal embellished tights are beautiful and can go with absolutely anything you wear. The crystals used to embellish these tights are provided by Swarovski and they glisten beautifully in the light whether it be night lights as you walk into a club or during the day in the sunlight. I think I should order a pair right now!






Be Aware!

There are many new and upcoming designers out there, but five specific ones caught my attention. In their collaborations with J. Brand jeans, which might I add are beautiful and unique, they each caught my attention in different ways! Basically each jean designed by one of these designers is a must have!
5 Rising British Designers:
1) Christopher Kane
2) Meadham Kirchoff
3) Richard Nicoll
4) Erdem
5) Peter Pilotto

If your a designer who believes you have what it takes to be the next big thing The Centre for Fashion Enterprise is the way to go. The Centre for Fashion Enterprise is a organization based in London that provides business guidance and mentoring for emerging fashion talent. Good luck to all you hard working designers who are trying to make it big! I am also a designer and I am trying every way possible to place myself in everything having to do with fashion and I know how hard it can be so I wish all you other designers the best of luck and I hope some of my posts help.

Fall Footwear!




























I am so excited for fall footwear everything is so eye catching and I love how the designers have made these boots so feminine and chic.

Dakota Fanning







Jessica Szohr


























I just love this woman's over all appearance and she is just beautiful...yes, I am talking about Jessica Szohr whom I had the pleasure of meeting on September 10, 2010 at Fashions Night Out in Prada. Jessica is the sweetest person in the world and she has such elegant, but bad girl type style, it's the sweet vs. rough look that always is eye catching.

Fashion Icon


So both of these girls are amazingly stunning in what ever they wear whether it be a balenciaga purse and a simple oversized top or a original Chanel look, they always look great!









Honestly if I could dress like these two women (top - bottom: Mary Kate Olsen and Alexa Chung) I would be in heaven.

Topsy, Tipsy, CURVY



If your a curvy girl and you don't know what to wear... here is where to come to for advice. All I have to say to all the beautiful curvy girls is, embrace each and every one of your flaws because you are beautiful inside and out. It is better to embrace everything and show confidence because as soon as you walk in the room all eyes will be on you. Hold your head up high and strut your stuff.

Anyway on to what really matters... clothes! I believe a simple dress with a belt at the waistline and black simple Louboutin stilettos should do the trick. It is simple, but causes a dramatic affect making you look lean and tall.






Leopard, Leopard, everywhere......



Leopard is in season and everyone is sporting it! From a cashmere leopard print sweater to a pair of leopard gladiator H&M heels,you can't go wrong no matter how you wear it. It always goes perfect with what your wearing and is sure to catch everyones eye as you walk into the room. So flaunt your inner cheetah this season!

Unique: Let the inner Gaga in you out....



Honestly, who doesn't want to be as bold and confident in what they wear as Lady Gaga! She goes out anywhere wearing Alexander McQueen shoes, outrageous outfits, and intricate and unique accessories.



She always amazes me in everything she wears. The used to be Convent student always knows how to amaze people with her look all though when she attended the school she just looked like a normal everyday girl. None of us would have expected her to be a talented top chart pop star and I am sure the Convent was amazed and proud to say she attended the school. GOOD JOB GAGA!

Girlie Ruffles and Pastels

Ruffles are still a major trend today. They have been in fashion week runways for 3 seasons now and many people are sporting them. Ruffles can either be very effective or they can be a tremendous mistake, but it all depends on where the ruffles are placed and how you edit your look. Just remember always make your look the most unique and be confident.

Heels and Socks

Lately models sporting socks and heels have been seen in Louis Vuitton ads and burberry runway shows. At first people were confused by this, but suddenly people have begin to love the idea of socks and heels. It hasn't exactly hit me yet, but I'll be sure to keep this idea in mind.

In Style



As I walk through Soho in NYC I see many people dressing in this manner, shorts and unique heels and wedges. These Finsk heels are a perfect example of unique, the design of the heel baffles me it almost resembles a rocking chair as a heel!
I also am aware of all the bright neons people are sporting this season. I guess everyone tuned into Milan's fashion week 2007 since many neons were sported in numerous line-ups. Shown here is Milan Fashion week 2007 designs by Blumarine, D&G, La Perla, Burberry Prorsum, Missoni, Moschino, Prada, and Jill Sander.

Animated to Reality Quite Outrageous!



So we all remember Roger's infamous wife from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and her knowledge of style especially her scandalous shoes! Now you can have those seductive shoes that made Roger's wife's legs looked amazing and long. Christian Louboutin has made these animated shoes a reality and they have appeared in Beyonce's music video "Single Ladies" maybe next we will see them on the feet of women in Paris.....

You Can Never Go Wrong With Chanel






Jaeger! Jaeger! Jaeger!







































According to http://www.fashionunited.co.uk/ British fashion brand Jaeger is opening a boutique in London on August 7th. Jaeger's styles and pieces are very unique. I especially love the mismatch piece I have posted here the orange and blue would usually never work on someone normal, but on this model Howard Tillman has accomplished to make this outfit match. I also love the shoes on the model in the very top photo, I have noticed lately many people have been wearing shoes like them, but obviously not the exact same ones. As for the line up photo I would probably never wear one of those jackets, but the details and intricate design of the belt astound me.
