Clogs...really?!

On the issue of clogs, we are torn.


Whether you are pro or anti clogs, remember not to buy them simply for "trend-followings" sake.  Cause, honey, they're a choice.


Although we love almost anything Chanel touches (watch for a review on their Les Trompe L'œil de Chanel skin art soon!), the jury is out on these bad boys.




If you're still on the fence, don't be afraid to do a variation on a clog that works better for you.  Perhaps these Prada platforms provide some hope at the end of the tunnel...

Posh indeed

When Women's Wear Daily reported on Victoria Beckham's Fall 2010 Ready to Wear line from New York fashion week, we literally gasped.  

Her dresses were feminine, timeless, elegant, flattering, and just all around stunning.  



We rarely fall in love with entire collections.  We might love a piece here or a piece there, or 4 or 5 pieces here, or 4 or 5 there...but an entire collection?!  

There were several perfect LBDs, gorgeous royal blues, and our darling metallics in asymmetrical cuts, swinging skirts and nipped waists.

Fast forward to Oscar night parties, and RZ stylista Cameron Diaz was sporting one of VB's straight of the runway sheaths.  Sigh.


We are currently saving up to invest in VB dresses.  Here's to hoping she's not a one-season celebrity designer like so many before her, because we're holding our breath until her next collection...

Come on, Vogue!

Not since the creation of Lucky Magazine has there been such a brilliant, shopper-friendly idea!  

Who really wants to sift through the teeny tiny print in the back of a magazine in a desperate attempt to find out where to buy that gorgeous cashmere sweater on page 54, or that must-have pair of boots in the winter shoe guide, only to find that is says call 1-800-YouCan'tAffordThis for pricing and availability?! 

Well readers, sift no more.  The genius of Vogue and Gilt Groupe have joined forces to bring us Vogue Shop The Issue, where you can buy items straight from the pages of the March issue.


This month - find those military inspired pieces we're so intrigued by - by designers we love (Alexander Wang....hello?)!

Visit vogue.gilt.com to start shopping.
