The Great White Shirt

Image
The button down white shirt was a staple for the investment bankers on Bay St. Waiters also needed them in their closet. But trend followers? Fashionistas? They stayed away from such constricting garments. A white button down shirt: so plain. So un-thought through. Then Gap (partnering with CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund) decided to showcase a few up and coming designers (Rodarte,Thaikoon, and Doo-Ri) and their idea of a white shirt. In May 2007, Vogue displayed its up and coming models on the cover in…you guessed it, a white shirt. Well if that’s not a hint and a half for us to get on the white shirt train, then I don’t know what it. They are now available in all shapes and sizes but I suggest a long (hits just above the knee) flowy one. Wear them with leggings or skinny jeans for a surprisingly smart look. Tip: Please don’t match them with loose white linen pants or you risk looking like a drug lord on his oceanview balcony sipping rhum and holding a cigar. For A Day Frolicking in the Par...

I don't think so. Notice how sharp Kelly looks (without the excess baggage of Destiny's Child or being overdone). The red shoes add a bit of color and the necklaces make the stripes and denim less boring. Uh Huh that's right. .

Yellow Invades Fashion!

Image
We have been bombarded with yellow since the beginning of spring. Yellow dresses, yellow tops and even yellow shorts. .. But now…yellow conquers all from earrings to bags to shoes. Oh la la, the shoes! On a side note, is it me or is every celebrity out there wearing yellow shoes? Apparently you are not big time Hollywood unless you are rocking some yellow pumps. However, yellow is such a cheery, happy go lucky color that you may as well indulge in the trend. If you are feeling cheap and trendy, get some bangles for $5.00. If you are feeling trigger happy with your credit card then get yellow peep toes at Aldo for $49.95. If you have fallen on your head and are completely unaware that you suffering from a concussion, spend $1,275 on a yellow purse you may wear 5 times. Tips: Yellow looks great with a plain white t-shirt and jeans (as per below- just don't wear all accessories at once or risk looking like a carton of lemonade). By the way, if you are like me and are on the constant...

BOOK THIS LOOK- Jennifer Lopez

Image
I am aware that I did not give an option of a puff sleeve blouse as per Jennifer's outfit but I felt the short sleeve one was more fitting. I visited Club Monaco who is currently promoting all of their white blouses and I must say that I was impressed with this one. The white on white on gold looks very "socialite lunches with her aunts at the Ritz" don't you think? There is a richness to this look that you can obtain even without having to spend a Hilton's allowance. In any case, it's sharp, it's fresh and don't those butterflies look so darn cute!?

For the Valentino Lovers...

Image
We all love bags right? And we all love discounts too right? Well then this is our lucky day. I was introduced to Accessory Bug (an online store that specializes in evening purses and fashionable handbags). They have some cute styles and a cute price to match. But what caught my eye was the word Valentino. I love the designer and everything he stands for (one day, I will be able to afford one of his fahhhbulous dresses). But I digress... Here is the great part: They carry a new line of handbags by Valentino called "Seredipity". Similar to "Marc" by Marc Jacobs, these are the faux leather lower end line of Valentino....but Valentino nevertheless. Oh and the cherry on top? Get 10% off with Coupon Code MSJ10 .

Victoria Beckham does denim (dvb style)

Image
Victoria Beckham (aka size 00, aka Posh Spice, aka “those cannot be real”) debuted her denim line dvb at Saks Fifth Avenue last week. Already, Rock & Republic has terminated the partnership with the ex Spice Girl claiming she was “horrible to work with — indecisive and inconsistent and generally not present at all. She attached her name to it but didn’t want to do any of the work – unless she was promoting the line in front of the cameras, of course.” It gets worse… The Sun reports that Robert de Keyser, founder of Dekeyser Fashion (the company that sold her jeans in the UK) claims her designs are "tacky" and "made out of a cheap fabric". Tough times considering each pair will cost you $250-$300. Mr. de Keyser had also mentioned that "The new Beckham range appears to be seriously overpriced for a line made out of a cheap fabric." Oh la la. In the end it’s still going to sell simply because of the publicity. Had everything gone smoothing with Rock ...
