They still look like little girls to me. Hard to believe they're business women, designers, global style icons. But I can't deny their influence and popularity!

For All You Pin-Up Girls!
Little Lily Designs!
Designer Eva, hand makes these adorable pin-up inspired bows that can be worn in your hair or even clipped onto your clothes! You can even share them with your daughter, the clips being the kind least likely to pull. Available in plain colored satin, or cute patterns like skulls, lipstick kisses, hearts, anchors... I absolutely LOVE these!
Eva was kind enough to send me samples of her product, and I can attest to both their quality and functionality, and their fashionability and uniqueness.
You can find her designs either HERE (her myspace page) or HERE (her website)!
Something else thats amazing about Little Lily Designs, is her "Pin-up Angels" line of camo-patterned bows. At $8 a piece, all proceeds go towards care packages being sent to our troops overseas! How generous!
Loves it!

I would totally rock this jacket in black. I'm afraid it would look a little too 'Jiffy Pop' on me in silver.
the metallic jacket is awesome. you shouldn't be afraid to rock it. definitely attention-grabbing though. i like this version which is slightly more toned-down because it's more of a bronze-y tone...

Loeffler Randall For Target VS. Bottega Vanetta
I have always loved the beautifully woven leather that, at least to me, is the easiest way to identify an amazing signature Bottega Veneta style. Target, who has somehow managed to team up with some amazing designer's, can now add Loeffler Randall to the list, with a line of handbags. And I am excited to see their chic and affordable take on that style of bag.
This bag is Bottega Veneta, from their Resort collection, and is called the Maxi Intagli Veneta, $2420

Rapper Lil Kim To Do Her Own Line Of Fur Coats
According to TMZ.com, Lil Kim (Kimberly Denise Jones) will be doing her own line of fur coats, called "Royalty". Who knows if thats a reference to the princess kind of royalty, or the record sales kind. Too bad the coats wont be as faux as... the rest of Lil Kim.
She's wearing a $5000 coat from her upcoming line in the picture above, along with a $2600 Gucci bag, and vintage (2005) Gucci boots.
I'll take the boots and the bag, please. Keep the coat.Labels: celebrities, gucci, this just in... stores

Diesel Debuts Online Store
Diesel has cultivated an edgy image by selling pricey jeans and other apparel to urban hipsters, but when it came to the web, the company, like so many fashion brands, was behind the curve.
The Milan-based company takes a giant step forward on Monday with the official opening of its online store, allowing customers for the first time to purchase its $200 jeans and $150 tops with the click of a mouse.
Diesel is the latest fashion company to make its products available online, in a move that is increasingly melding high fashion with high tech. For years designers preferred to sell their goods through a tightly controlled network of luxury department stores and their own boutiques, fearing the web would tarnish their image of exclusivity.
But with advancements in technology, fashion houses from Yves Saint Laurent to Louis Vuitton are finding they can recreate much of the sophistication of their real world stores online.

Big ups to Diesel. The internets the way of the future. But I agree, the website should match the quality of their garments, to attract their target market.

This Just In... Stores: White Trash Charms Does Disney Couture
White Trash Charms has long been a favorite of mine. Their shop on Hillhurst in Los Angeles is one of the first places I go when I have a gift to buy, or want to splurge a little bit on something new for myself. But those of you not lucky enough to live near a retail location of theirs, can click on any link or image in this post and be directed to their website! I discovered them when our correspondent (and my best friend!) Amelia gave me this awesome piece about a year ago:
Their styles usually come in sterling silver, gold vermeil, and 14k gold, and also typically are available in 3 sizes. Worn by so many celebrities it would be impossible to list them all, featured in so many publications it would be impossible to index them all, they are truly growing into such a style influence we just had to tell you about them!
Some pieces I have purchased:
Their new line, Disney Couture, is truly amazing and believe it or not, sophisticated! These are not your little sisters Disney charms. The pieces are truly beautiful, with no detail over looked. Some of my favorites from their latest line:
The best part about these 3 favorites of mine is they are each $50 or less! Seriously, take minute to browse their website! If you aren't already a fan, trust me, you will be.Labels: accessories, celebrities, los angeles, this just in... stores, white trash charms

I like the first one of Disney Couture (believing is just the beginning). Great!

Ashley & Mary-Kate Olsen Launch "Elizabeth and James" Line Last Night In New York
Last night in New York, the dynamic duo Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, officially launched their third venture into the fashion realm. Their new line, Elizabeth and James promises to be just as interesting as the girls themselves. Combining both a softer more feminine look with a masculine, tailored look to represent the siblings they named the line after. The incredibly talented sisters have been involved in the design process on every level, from sketching and production, to styling.
They already have two other clothing lines, and unlike most celeb's who come out with their own brands and lines, I really think these girls have a long future in fashion. They really seem to understand design concepts and trends. I think this is less about creating clothes for their fans to mimic their look, and more about their true love for the art that is fashion, making wearable clothes that are comfortable and chic at the same time.Labels: celebrities, elizabeth and james, new york, this just in... stores

Louis Vuitton Sets Up Shop At The MOCA
Takashi Murakami and Louis Vuitton are setting up shop temporarily at L.A.'s Geffen Contemporary Gallery at MOCA, from October 29 through February 11, 2008.
"Though the 1,000-square-foot store will feature an LED display table and interlocking logos projected onto exterior facades, traditionalists can take heart: The space will also include the same lacquered finishes and Chilewich flooring found in Vuitton boutiques worldwide, along with actual LV employees. Look for the multicolor reinterpretation of the classic Neverfull bag and a special-edition monogram diary cover featuring Murakami's newest character, Chibi Kinoko ("Little Mushroom")—two decidedly chicer alternatives to the kitschy museum postcard."

This Just In... Stores: Limited Edition Christian Lacroix Evian Bottle
Evian Haute Couture? Yup. Woth $6-$10? I've always found it interesting, Evian spelled backwards is "naive". You decide.
"Evian Limited Edition by Christian Lacroix - The bottle will be available in high-end grocery stores, restaurants and hotels throughout Canada by mid November. It will tentatively be sold at Pusateri's, Whole foods, Sommerhill market, and 5 Saisons. The 750 ml bottle will retail for approximately $7.99 - $9.99 in restaurants, and approximately $5.99 in high end grocery retail. While the Haute Couture is being produced in a very limited edition available only in a few special places. It was "previewed" at the Colette water bar at the beginning of October."

Please check out www.chicintuition.com and include us in your THE CULT(URED) and we'll include you in ours.
It's a beautiful bottle so I'd definitely buy one -- but only if they're made of glass, not plastic.
I buy a bottle of water every 1-2 weeks and keep refilling the plastic bottle at home, so a pretty one like this would be a nice change.
Plastic water bottles have to be replaced every couple of weeks for hygiene reasons (you can't wash them properly), so if this one's made of glass it's actually reasonably eco-friendly -- but only if you keep it, sterilize it regularly and use it for months! :)
Ooh, fancy. I like. I like.

Visionaire No. 52: Private
So I just deleted everything from my online store because, of course, it's time for a new season! As I am browsing through merchandise, seeking out only the stuff worth looking at so that you, dear readers, don't have to... I happened upon this book. A few posts ago ("A New Look For Fall" on 09/15) I made a little slideshow of an editorial shoot I liked by the photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. The book, which I absolutely MUST have, is called Visionaire No. 52: Private... and is photohraphed by the same team! Even better though, is teaming THEM with Marc Jacobs himself as the Editor!! I just HAVE to see what such amazing photographer's will do with Marc Jacobs eye, and such interesting names involved as subjects. To love fashion and couture is to love photography as well. They are synonymous in an intangible kind of way. Just read what the Visionaire website has to say:
"Photographs by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott
Guest Editor Marc Jacobs
In collaboration with Louis Vuitton
PRIVATE comes as a book of photographs housed in an exclusive Louis Vuitton monogrammed case designed by Marc Jacobs. Photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott with guest art director Marc Jacobs have collaborated on a series of personal portraits with sitters including Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson, Selma Blair, Jennifer Lopez, Lil’ Kim, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, and Gisele Bundchen just to name a few.
PRIVATE is a limited edition of 2,500 numbered copies and retails for a starting price of $375. However, PRIVATE is included in a standard subscription to Visionaire at no additional charge. As with our past Louis Vuitton collaborations, we anticipate this issue selling out immediately after its public release in the November. We encourage you to pre-order now to guarantee your copy of Visionaire 52 PRIVATE.
Visionaire 52 PRIVATE is our third collaboration with Louis Vuitton, following the success of Visionaire 18 FASHION SPECIAL, now valued at $5,000, and Visionaire 30 THE GAME, now valued at $4,200 (per set of 7 countries). Concurrent with the release of PRIVATE, we are releasing a limited number of copies of 18. FASHION SPECIAL from our archive, previously withheld from sale."
I truly SWOON over things like this! I HAVE TO HAVE IT! The holidays are coming up! If someone would pre-order this for me I would simply DIE! Okay, enough begging. But if you want to pre-order this for YOURSELF (or me! lol) click on the image below! Can you believe how gorgeous this is? Seriously. Beautiful people, wearing beautiful fashion, photographed by beauty geniuses, wrapped up in beautiful Louis Vuitton! It's almost TOO BEAUTIFUL! This is something to treasure always. Okay. I'm stopping now.
If you buy this through my store, and are a Barnes & Noble Member, you will only pay $300.00, which is $75 off the lowest price! So make sure you choose the option with their logo. Meanwhile, I will let you know when the store is full of great new FINDS FOR FALL!Labels: celebrities, from our closet, louis vuitton, marc jacobs, my wishlist, this just in... stores

Truly Fabulous Finds at Target
Last week I went to my local Target to kill some time. I was expecting to pick up some household items, maybe some warm fuzzy socks to wear around the house. I am infamous for the hours I can spend in Target. Wandering the aisles, browsing everything from books to blankets. I made my way through the accessories department. Accessories are just TOO easy to shop for. You don't really have to try them on, and like purses, they always fit. Well, except for rings. Rings don't always come in a whole range of sizes at places like Target.
Anyway, I happened upon the line that Dominique Cohen did especially for Target stores. A jewelry designer that sells her chunky, fun, and sophisticated pieces at high end department stores like Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, has brought her incredibly "now" style to Target.
I purchased these two necklaces, each for $29.99, and I have been wearing them together. I like that they tie with ribbon. You can adjust the length to go with what you are wearing. I also like to tie one of them with the bow off center so it shows in the front and not behind the neck. It just add's that extra touch of flair.
One is a bunch of chains and ribbon, the other has lace covered "pearls" and ribbon. There is something very "leather and lace" about them. Something hard and yet romantic. I've been wearing them to death!
I then made my way over to the shoe department. To be totally honest with you I was not expecting to find anything there. I seldom do. Once in a while I will find a pair of really cute flip-flops or slippers. So I was pleasantly surprised to find these shoes by Izaac Mizrahi for Target.
Also at $29.99, I felt like I was almost stealing these! I wore them the next day, and I got 3 compliments on them! I couldn't help but whisper "Thanks! They were only $30 bucks! Target! I know! Shhhh!" Mix these with your more pricey pieces and no one will EVER guess you got these great accessories at Target.
And really, that's the key. I firmly believe it is absolutely worth it to invest in your wardrobe. Trust me. But I can only justify dropping $300 on a dress or $500 on a bag, if I average out my expenditures getting some cheaper pieces. It's all about having a good eye. Knowing what "looks expensive", knowing quality when you see it, no matter what the price is. Mix your designer sunglasses with these pieces. Or try them on WITH that $300 dress. No one will know the diff. You could be wearing an outfit that cost less than your watch does, but no one will know if you know how to wear it. How to carry the look you have put together.
This will just be between us, I promise.Labels: accessories, dominique cohen, izaac mizrahi, just for kicks, this just in... stores

This Just In... Stores
The time has FINALLY come, Chloe Sevigny (who we LOVE!) has began to unveil her line! Check out this amazing article by Renata Espinosa for Fashion Wire Daily. I have yet to find images, but you KNOW the second they hit the net, I'll have the best ones right here for you to see!
Chloe Sevigny Debuts Collection for Opening Ceremony
Renata Espinosa
September 14th, 2007 @ 4:04 PM - New York
As a teen, when I first started raiding my mother's closet for all her carefully preserved vintage accessories – saved from her years spent living (in my mind) the jet set life of a TWA flight attendant – I used to think about my own wardrobe of acid-washed Chic jeans, polka dot stirrup pants and Express tunics and think to myself, "Oh, I should save this stuff, because it's going to come back for sure."
This was the early '90s and retro revival was in full swing, so while not a particularly original notion, it did get me thinking about how I might preserve, and potentially resurrect, my own history of dress one day.
So what if someone had packed away their junior high school ephemera in a time capsule a la Warhol, opened it up in the year 2007 and decided to create a collection inspired by their memorabilia and early years of fashion discovery?
The result might be something like Chloe Sevigny's collection for Opening Ceremony, which she presented to a handful of editors on September 10th during New York fashion week.
Back in May, amidst a flurry of celeb collection launches, Fashion Wire Daily asked Sevigny (at a Warhol-related event, coincidentally), whether she'd ever consider doing a line herself. Known for her unique vintage-influence style, she of anyone seemed a logical candidate.
She told us she'd been tossing around the idea of a one-off, in fact, with Humberto Leon of the downtown boutique Opening Ceremony, which carries small, directional labels by international designers.
Leon said when he saw the article, he called her up and asked, "So are you serious?"
She was, and before they knew it, their one-off had turned into a fully-developed 30+ piece collection, complete with a range of accessories that includes nine styles of shoes, a motorcycle cap made from recycled cassette tapes and cat-eye sunglasses produced in conjunction with Linda Farrow UK eyewear.
For inspiration, Sevigny looked to her teen years when she would shop at Unique on Broadway in New York, from "girls that I see on the street," and late '80s vintage fashion. A glass vitrine inspiration case displayed objects from her youth: Patti Smith and Kate Bush LPs, a photo of River Phoenix, zines, combat boots and even a picture of a young Sevigny at a school dance.
Like the Kate Moss collection for Topshop, Sevigny's collection is very true to her own sense of style – the grungy mixed with the feminine, sometimes deliberately clashing prints, high-waisted skirts mixed with blousy tops, vests and '80s-era blazers, Alaia-esque short black dresses in jersey with a cut-out back and mesh inserts, all of which might be paired with black zip-up ankle boots. ("I like a wedge – more support when I go out dancing!" she said).
There are lots of Liberty floral prints, as well, and one bustier cup sundress Sevignyy said was designed specifically because she was always looking for something like it but had yet to actually find it.
As she walked us through the collection, Sevigny called one of her friends over to show off a cute Liberty print shirt dress, like the kind a waitress in a diner might wear – flared at the waist with oversized side pockets, paired with black and white striped tights and black ankle boots all Seattle grunge-like.
"If I saw a girl walking down the street in that dress, I'd want to take her and put her in my pocket," laughed Sevigny.
She pointed to another friend wearing high-waisted black and white gingham pants with tapered legs, saying that she'd chosen particular silhouettes because they were what she preferred to wear, and also what she thinks are the most flattering for a range of body types. For example, you can get a black jersey dress in two versions – tight and curve-hugging, or in a looser, tent-like shape depending on your preference.
There are also tribal-inspired fabrics, and rounding out the line are skirts, dresses and T-shirts in black, a staple of every downtown girl's wardrobe.
"It's mix-and-match, day-to-night," she said, with all the pieces meant to be creatively layered.
Prices range from $150 to $595 and will be carried not only at Opening Ceremony in New York and LA, but also at selected boutiques in cities worldwide.
Chloe Sevigny is a sometimes controversial style icon, but in our opinion that just means she's got actual fashion sense and advanced taste, not something that can be said of most celebrity designers out there at the moment.Labels: celebrities, chloe sevigny for opening ceremony, this just in... stores

I found your blog from your commment on TMZ. Very nice blog.
As a guy, this is not really my thing. However, I like to learn.
The fashions displayed here are not innovative. Looking back to the days of "Bobby Sox" (40's and 50's),"Annie Hall"(Mid 70's)and the Awful "Grunge" look of the 80's can be done by anyone.
Also, these styles were the most unflattering for their respective time periods. Making them ill-fitting only worsens the situation.
I think women deserve to look good.
As "ZZ Top" said, "Every woman's crazy 'bout a sharped dressed man."
The converse is also true. Ask any guy.
Thank you, and once again, Nice Blog!

This Just In... Stores
Singer Lilly Allen is coming out with a clothing line called Lilly Loves. The line will be sold in a store called New Look, with locations pretty much everywhere except here.
If the clothes are anything like what she usually wears: vintage inspired dresses, ghetto gold chains... well then maybe this could be for this New Look store what I thought Madonna would be for H&M. I really expected more from Madonna. I can't wait to see what the clothes look like!
