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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Back to the Future

Everyone has been on a Mad Men kick for quite some time now and if that involves having to watch Jon Hamm count me in! This dress channels the spirit of that era in the front and is show stopping in the back. I also love the navy and black combination, which I have been a fan of for years. This is one dress that will certainly pull you back to the future.

Fete Fun

This little dress by Christopher Deane may not look like the most interesting piece you have ever seen but upon closer inspection the little row of studs around the waist completely sold me. With a pair of stockings and some serious shoes this could be a fun piece to wear out this winter. This one will certainly turn all of your winter festivities into a fete of fun.

Collaboration Nation: Christopher Kane

There are so many great collaborations out there that I have decided to start chronicling them in a new piece that we at MMM would like to call Collaboration Nation. Let's start with Christopher Kane's collection for TopShop which launched yesterday. Though I am not a girl for lace, the combination of the metal eyelets, black color, and cutouts, make this dress fresh. Most of the collections pieces are already sold out online, including the Crocodile print dress and tee shirt, which are an extension of the Gorilla dress that Kane made a couple of seasons ago. Check out the entire collection at TopShop now.

Strong Shoulder

Bold shoulders have been popping up everywhere this summer and were ever present in fall collections. Rihanna has even been seen rocking the look in tuxedo type form, and anything RiRi sports is awesome in our book! This dress by Alice + Olivia fits the bill with strong shoulder accents that you most certainly won't have to brush dirt off of.

Oh What a Dream

To take words from the great Rachael Zoe, "I DIE!" This Luella dress stopped me in my online browsing tracks. It's got edge with silver accents and zippers, but the sweetness of polka dots all rolled into one amazing party dress. It's just so cool and I can see myself wearing it with a cropped leather jacket so clearly, that it's cruel how far out of my dress budget it is. I'll have to resolve to imagining how great it would be to own because it is truly a dress that's the stuff dreams are made out of!

Raggedy Ann

This Rag and Bone Raw Edge Pleat Dress has such a soft and elegant front, then hits you with the black at the shoulders and line down the back. I can see it paired with a neon cardigan or heels to add a pop of color, completing the look. It will make guys hate to see you leave, but love to watch you go for sure.
