Cool Camo

Some of the top magazine editors have proclaimed that if there is one piece for them to get this season, its a pair of camouflage pants. Army inspirations have been going strong and fall fashion weeks cement this style into our wardrobes. This pair of camo pants from the Gap are exactly what the style doctor ordered, with military influenced cargo pockets and a slim, straight fitting leg. Don't blend in, stand out in this cool camo.

Bada Boum

One thing a couple of designers from NYFW have been toying with is the idea of being able purchase items fresh off the runway instead of waiting months until fall rolls around. I love this idea of instant gratification because when I see something I like, I want it NOW! Rebecca Minkoff is one designer who is trying out this new method by making a limited quantity of this Bada Boum tee from her fall presentation available for purchase now. So Bada Boum, need we say more.

Collaboration Nation: Sonia Rykiel x H & M

I had the pleasure of going to H and M for the launch of Sonia Rykiel's clothing for the retailer, which debuted on February 20. There was definitely a big turn out and for good reason because the stripes and slouchy silhouettes are textbook Rykiel. Get yourself to an H and M as quickly as you can because this one is so good it won't last long! The collaboration is the perfect way to start off your spring wardrobe with a little Parisian chic.

Dashing Demin

A boyfriend fit chambray shirt is a must for spring, where denim is no longer limited to just jeans. J.Crew's Selvage Chambray Shirt is stone washed for a worn in feel that looks fantastic dressed up or dressed down. So don't be afraid to don a Mexican tuxedo, because denim just got a whole lot more dashing.

Flower Child

One thing is for certain, florals are going to be huge come spring and summer. This top from American Eagle is a sweet, feminine way to hop on the trend now by pairing it with a blazer and jeans, but will also work great with a skirt or shorts come spring. The best part about it? It's a steal for $29.50 and comes in five different colors. Channeling your inner flower child has never been this easy.

Slouch Style

My obsession with blazers does not seem like it is going to die anytime soon, but I am always looking for new variations to shake things up. Enter Alice + Olivia's Cascade wool blend blazer complete with faux suede collar that is the perfect mix of put together and downtown chic. So give this slouchy style a try next time you are out on the town for a hip, clean look.

In-Vested

While browsing the city this past weekend I stumbled upon this zip front ruffled vest and fell in love. Imagine my surprise when I discovered none other than Theory made the chic little number. I thought this piece was a bit of a departure for the brand, but regardless it has all of the high quality fabric and construction that I have come to love from Theory. So don't be afraid to get invested in this piece, it will transition perfectly into spring and beyond.

Fade to Grey

Typically, I have a tendency to stick with straight up super skinny blue jeans. That all may change with J Brand's ombre fade pencil leg in Stellar Twill. These pants have been sported on the street by Rachel Bilson and needless to say they are an eye-catching pant. So perhaps it is time to veer from the traditional blue jean and fade to grey.

Collaboration Nation: Rodarte x Target

Though this may not be new news to you, before the new year began one of the most talked about collaborations of 2009 was released, Rodarte for Target. The collection has been incredibly popular, and people rushed to pick up the slip like items and rib cage dress. I was lucky enough to snag the lace leopard dress above and rocked it for new year's eve! Most pieces have sold out online, but you may be lucky enough to pick up an item from the collection at your local Target before it leaves stores on January 31.

Just Dotty


With a new year comes new year's resolutions and one for some of you may be updating your undergarments. I love that Phillip Lim has brought the uplifting polka dots from his spring frocks into the boudoir for a lovely set of silk underwear. Check them out, you may just go dotty.

Wonder Stripe

To continue with my love of nautical stripes that surely is not going to ebb any time soon, comes Acne's take on the trend. As is typical of the super hip Swedish brand, they use a relaxed silhouette and altering the direction of the stripes gives it a chic, vintage vibe. This striped number definitely is a wonder.

Collaboration Nation: Vera Wang

Though the collaboration between Vera Wang and Kohls is not new, it seems the line has had new life breathed into it for the holidays. The one strong point has actually been the sleepwear, which has comfortable and stylish nighties every season. This cream top has lovely contrast beading at the neckline and a feminine ruffle at the bottom that is dare I say it, Simply Vera.

Disco Ball

With New Year's fast approaching, I have already started thinking about what to wear when the ball drops and we move into 2010. When I saw this Alice + Olivia sequined bustier top it just screamed wear me to a fabulous party. The sequins on the top snake around making it look almost mosaic. Why have everyone focused on the clock striking 12 when this top is your very own disco ball. Shine on!

Secret Garden

Shoshanna's floral romper just screams vacation wear. As winter settles in, it becomes time to think about winter getaways and resort wardrobes. The romper is simple and lively with a great floral print, and so easy to throw on over a swimsuit after a day of lounging in the sun. This little garden number is just too cute to keep a secret.

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!"

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.

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.

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.

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.
