Yikes Stripes!

Nautical themed stripes are going to be a hot trend this spring and summer. I like Cynthia Rowley's take on nautical from her resort collection, which does black and blue as opposed to the traditional white and navy. The dots on this cashmere sweater also add some whimsy, and I love the combination of a small stripe and the larger stripe in the skirt. This is one outfit that will have you saying, "Yikes Stripes!"

Funfetti: Part 2

I always find myself throwing credit cards and cash into my clutches for lack of anything better to hold it all together. Enter Part 2 of our obsession with Funfetti colored glitter: J. Crew's magic wallet, which can keep together all of our cash items and still fit into our clutch. This little bit of rainbow glitter is so lively and with a great price tag will be perfect for the chic girls on your holiday list.

Color Blocked

Patterned tights are one of the must be scene in accessories this winter. I am entertained by Kate Spade's red, black, and purple striped version, which could add some pop to your winter frocks. Luckily we aren't color blind or these tights would leave us color blocked.

Motocrossed

The other day I had the opportunity to check out American Eagle's new 4 story mega-flagship in the middle of Times Square. Though it's not a store I frequent, I was throughly impressed with this leather Moto Jacket, which felt buttery smooth and was perfectly tailored. I can definitely see this jacket thrown over all of my more feminine dresses to give them a tougher look. This is one jacket that is sure to leave you motocrossed.

Animal Instincts

Surface to Air's Animal Print Wedges manage to combine two things that I love right now, leopard print and lots of buckles. I first noticed them when a solid pair, they also come in black and grey, showed up on woman featured in The Satorialist's Burberry Art of the Trench campaign. These shoes are a sure fire way to bring out your animal instincts come holiday season, when you will need to be on full alert shopping for the family.

Super Stud

In honor of the release of style diva Rihanna's new album, MMM brings you a dress worthy of her fierceness. This Robert Rodriguez studded one shoulder mini dress is a standout, perfect for ringing in the New Year. I wouldn't be surprised if this dress causes heads to turn and is a super stud magnet.

Funfetti: Part 1

Glitz, glam, and glitter cannot be avoided this holiday season, and are a surefire way to make sure you stand out in a crowd. I would like to turn My Man Marc's focus to some of the most fun sparkle around, a confetti type glitter that is taking it's place right alongside gold and silver. We start with Deborah Lippmann's nail lacquer in Happy Birthday. Talk about a party in a bottle, this nail polish is sure to make you shine this holiday season.

Right Round Baby

These Karen Walker Righteous Sunglasses are the definition of hip and cool. Round frames have become incredibly popular, rivaling the played out Wayfarer style. The combination of gold frames and tortoise arms on this pair of shades are sure to spin you right round.

Travel Grid Lock

Having just returned from a three month stay on a Bahamian island with absolutely no shopping, entering the United States airport was a bit of a culture shock. One thing I was struck by was the lack of great travel luggage rolling around the terminals. Enter Orla Kiely's Tripp series, which has been a favorite of fashionable travelers for seasons now. The all over car print is so fun and the bag is made of vinyl for extra durability. This is one piece of luggage that will be sure to get you through travel gird lock in style.

Hot Topic

Have I proclaimed my love for neon recently, because if not than this Jimmy Choo clutch is a great place to reassert it. A bit retro with it's triangle flap and the bright yellow color are sure to brighten up any outfit. The clutch comes in a hot pink as well for those not drawn to the yellow. This post is also appropriately timed because today is the official launch of Jimmy Choo's collaboration with H & M. Keep your eyes out for this clutch though because it is definitely a hot topic.

Linked In

Elke Kramer's Pet Keepwatch bracelet is inspired by the childhood toys of yesteryear. I think that the link pattern of this resin number is reminiscent of a watch band. Either way, this chic bracelet is sure to have you linked in.

The Dog's Tuxedo

Something about an amazing dinner jacket makes me nostalgic for a time when people valued getting dressed up to go out, have dinner, and travel. Though this jacket comes in an all black version, I am drawn to the navy and black contrast. Whether dressed up or dressed down, this blazer is no doubt the dog's tuxedo.

Golden Ticket

Talk about eye catching! The gold panels of this Torn by Ronny Kobo skirt are perfect for a night out on the town and remind me of Goldfinger. If you have ever dreamed of being wrapped up in gold then this skirt is the golden ticket.

V for Vendetta

Leave it to Chanel to create yet another nail polish color that I drool over. Though Chanel's Jade is awesome for bringing a bit of spring brightness to your fingertips, Vendetta is pure vamp for fall. The deep hue is so rich and with just a hint of shine, this purple is sublime. This color is so good, you may even be willing to fight a vendetta to snag a bottle.

Picnic Plaid

A good gingham check always seems to remind me of a picnic table cloth, even if it is not in red. Yet, I am always a bit jealous when I see men wearing gingham oxfords and wish that their was a tailored version for myself. Luckily J. Crew apparently thought the same thing because they created this cotton check shirt from their men's plaid. This is one chic plaid that will impress everyone at the picnic.

Groovin' to the Beat

Jonathan Adler's feel good manifesto translates perfectly in his quirky, kitsch accessories. Though he gained his fame from pottery (And perhaps Bravo's Top Design, "See you later decorator." Anyone?), I love his needlepoint accessories, including this MP3 case. Drawing on the days when records reigned supreme, this is one case that will certainly have you groovin' to the beat.

Finnish Fab

After a trip to Scandinavia last summer, I quickly became aware that one brand is ever prevalent over the rest, Marimekko. The Finnish brand best known for their Unikko flower print textiles are now moving beyond that to create some stellar clothes for fall. These frocks are guaranteed to make you Finnish fab.

Dark Knight

Tory Burch's satin Mairin Pump is simply put, a fierce shoe. I love that the back zipper is black because a lot of times matching the gold or silver hardware on accessories can be tricky. This shoe is one dark knight that is sure to ride in and save your wardrobe's day.

Total Package

Every so often, a company that has steadily been producing incredible accessories makes the leap into apparel. Sometimes this foray is a complete and utter letdown, while others take the challenge and soar. One case of success is Loeffler Randall, who has been making awe inspiring shoes for seasons now. Just recently they added clothing to the mix, and I am not one for buying a total outfit from the same designer but this Triangle Fold Blouse and Layered Skirt combination is certainly something to drool over. So you may soon see me in head to toe Loeffler Randall, but not to worry, it's the total package.

Back to Basics

Sometimes the simplest pieces are the ones that people take notice of, and that is how this Old Navy ruffled dress caught my eye. It is effortless and easy, but with the right accessories and layering could be worn both this winter and spring. Also available in a shimmery grey color, this dress is sure to bring you back to basics.

Silky Smooth

In my opinion, it is never too early for a wish list. With a late November birthday coming up and Christmas not ridiculously far away, the latest addition to my list is the lovely Hermes medor twilly. With studs being all the rage, the Medor Twilly manages to combine a hint of punk with the classic sophistication that is Hermes. Wear the twilly as a headband, tie it on your wrist, or on the handle of your purse.

British Racer

It has been awhile since we did a nail polish post here on MMM, but we just couldn't resist with Butter London's British Racing Green nail polish. This dark green color was a favorite on fall runways, mixed specifically for Vena Cava. The company produces 3 free lacquers which means they don't include formaldehyde, DBP, or toluene, better for your nails and the environment. So check this color out and you too can be a British Racer.

Camel Back

With winter fast approaching it's time to start pulling out coats. I am in love with the color and shape of this Acne jacket, so rich and luxurious. I even like their idea of belting the coat, a strategy I plan on looking into to update my own outwear. This jacket is definitely bringing camel back in a chic way for winter.

Collaboration Nation: Stella McCartney x Gap Kids

While I have been waiting anxiously for the arrival of Pierre Hardy for Gap fall shoes, a day that seems like it may never come, another collaboration has sprung up in the meantime. Today marks the launch of Stella McCartney for Gap Kids. Though I realize we decidedly are not kids, that doesn't mean that a lucky few tiny ladies can't take advantage. Some of the best pieces already appear to be sold out online such as this Leopard Sweater Tunic and a boys Band Jacket. So run to those select few Gap stores carrying the line if you have a moment, either for yourself or some very stylish toddlers.
