There's a new website dedicated to inauguration merch-- so if you missed your chance to snag a Gobama t-shirt, you can still pick one up for memory's sake. The Ghetto Fashionista has the report.
Les Prairies des Paris Little Monta Skirt Was $255 Now $175 @ Gargyle, Spot Stripe Mini Skirt $65 @ Topshop
We love the late 80's vibe of these mini skirts and think this era in fashion is going to be big again for Spring. Take a look at the Spring 09 collections of brands like Obedient Sons & Daughters, Lyn Devon, or Opening Ceremony and you'll see a distinct nod to this time in fashion. Pair these skirts with a buttoned-up blouse and a one-sided mane and you'll be the most fashionable kid at school--we promise!
Hundreds of trends appear each season and now that a new set of shows are upon us, we think it's time to focus on your favorites. With Spring deliveries gaining momentum we recommend making a list of your favorite fashion ideas from the season. As stock rolls in (and items go on sale) you can keep your shortlist in mind so that your purchases are thought through. Whether it's a specific trend or a general idea (i.e. Aspen '94) we think you'll find this a helpful tactic indeed. Check out our shopping list below, with ten trendy items we're searching for right now.
I grew up in the Depression, when you could go to the movies on a Saturday afternoon for 15 cents and see Carole Lombard, Marlene Dietrich, and Greta Garbo. I knew that making clothes for people of that sort could be the most exciting thing in the world.
Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 @ Gilt Groupe: Poppy Print Opera Coat Was $2,800 Now $598, Cowl Neck Dress Was $2,400 Now $498, Swan Print Dress Was $1,100 Now $298

Lyn Devon's understanding of cool, American sportswear has made her the recipient of a Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation award this year.. Devon, a 23 year old New York native, got her started working for Zac Posen and Ralph Lauren before launching her own label in 2005. Since then the designer has been quickly gaining momentum with positive reviews from WWD and Style.com in addition to countless magazines credits. Her Spring 2009 collection featured practical sportswear-inspired pieces that balanced masculine and feminine silhouettes beautifully. Devon often refers to her range as 'no-nonsense' and we find that sentiment to be well-timed indeed. Check out her Spring 2009 look book right here.
Even though end-of-year sale madness has us occupied, the Spring 2009 deliveries have started rolling in. It's hard to believe that the Resort and early Spring deliveries have already brought us so many great statement sandals. We're not sure if we're ready to make the plunge but we're always ready to window shop. Check out our favorites, above.
